King Taco

Founded in 1974 by Raul Martinez Sr. King Taco is a fast-food restaurant chain based in Los Angeles, California, serving soft tacos, burritos, sopes, tamales, nachos, and authentic Mexican drinks such as horchata, jamaica, and tamarindo. Some locations also serve rotisserie chicken. I've personally had King taco maybe 4 times, I got my first taste from a friend who drove all way from the bay just to give them a try. Unfortunately, I was unable to eat the burrito right away (doesn't count). The 2nd time was the DTLA location honestly, I wasn't fond of the flavorless tacos. I had friends in town craving King Taco, the nearest location was Mountain Ave, in Ontario. A bit toasted from the night before, I was looking forward to a greasy flavorful taco. Again, a bit disappointed in the tacos. I didn't understand the hype..... I was in area and thought, let's give them ONE LAST TRY. #Bestdecisionevermade The carne asada combo burrito was scrumptious. The combo of carne, rice and beans were perfect, not too much or little of something, know what I mean? The flavor profile was absolutely delish when paired with the verde. The only down side was that they do not have extra slices of lemon or lime.

Usually all King Taco's are really good except this location. It was my first time visiting King Taco #29 in Glendale but I absolutely will not go back to this location forever! I ordered a Carne Asada Burritos but it only had few pieces of meat. I literally could have counted if I tried as picture shown. I could have taken it back if I was closer to the location. I absolutely won't recommend this location and it was the worst ever!

Perfect late night cheap Mexican food spot. You always know what you’re getting at this place. Good portion sizes for low prices and the meat quality is pretty good! I usually like to go the loaded nachos route but I kept it simple and got the carne asada combo burrito and it was exactly what I needed to satisfy my Mexican food craving along with a couple al pastor sopes. Pro tip: The salsa verde is an absolute must.

This King Taco has the best chicken flautas topped with cheese and guacamole. All meat /pur carne asada burritos are delicious. Green sauce kills it. If your in Glendale and looking for quality Mexican fast food this is the place. The prices are oddly MUCH lower than Maywood. Which only makes it better.
