The King Taco Restaurants

With over 20 locations all over the Los Angeles area, King Taco has set new standards for the Mexican food industry. Founded in 1974, King Taco started selling their delicious food out of a truck where there it became a crowd favorite. I have got to say, whenever I am craving delicious Mexican dishes I know my stomach will lead me to King Taco. Without a doubt, this is definitely one of my favorite spots to eat. Although King Taco is located around a city that offers them a lot of competition from other spots, they do not succumb to the pressure. This restaurant is known for their fresh ingredients and consistent quality. On that note, I have to admit I have never walked out of the restaurant without my taste buds satisfied.

I do warn however, once someone tries their delicious dishes they usually will never be satisfied with other spots. King Taco has the usual Mexican food including burritos, tacos, sopes, quesadillas, nachos, etc. My usual order consists of a carne asada burrito and sope, let's not forget the spicy sauce that everyone loves to pile on top of their dish. The meat that King Taco uses is very tasteful and full of flavor, never tasting dull or bland. It seems like every bite is juicy and full of flavor until the very end. Every person that walks in there has their own favorite dish, it seems to me that anything ordered there would be quite delicious. 

With that, every great restaurant also has it's set of flaws. For example, the only things people usually complain about is the wait time and the service. On a late Friday or Saturday night, be ready to wait a while before getting any food. Although the wait time is very long, the restaurant is not always to blame due to the high volume of customers which ultimately leads to the long wait time. Next, the service is usually complained about because many of the workers usually only speak spanish to customers and lack english fluency. Also, many say that their portions have definitely took a toll while their prices seem to keep going up. In reality it's basic economics, the food here is so good that it doesn't need to compete with the competitor's price. 

In the end, all the complainers usually walk out pretty satisfied once they have enjoyed their delicious meal. Therefore, King Taco is definitely the place to be when craving some authentic Mexican dishes.
