Solid, not great 10/28/2003

King Taco (on Peck Rd.) is a solid, authentic Mexican dive for great tacos, but I've eaten better. In fact, King Taco's OTHER location (in Pasadena) has better tasting meats for their tacos, and is cleaner. You come here for slamming down tacos, plain and simple. Good stuff, and very authentic, but the Carnitas, Carne Asada and Sesos were all ""solid"" but not the best I've ever had. It's cheap - like $1 per taco, so it's a good deal. The Carnitas I had, for example, was far too greasy and just not that tasty. Try Taqueria La Catedral down the street for better tacos (and better portions). Pros: Good Mexican Tacos, Authentic Mexican, Cheap Cons: Too greasy at times more

Good Stuff!! 7/6/2003

King is muuch Better than Baja Fresh...King Taco should be ranked #1!!!....good tacos....good burritos......everything is good...and the salsa WILL leave sweating! Any Mexican knows that when a salsa is good it leaves you sweating more

King Taco 2/28/2003

King Taco has the absolute best best BEST tacos ever! The green tacos have the best flavor as the red are just ""HOT"". If you want an authentic Mexican taco, this is the place for you... more

I bow to King's 12/5/2002

This is a ""must eat"" if you are in L.A . Lots of food for your $ and you can wear surf trunks to a tux. Have fun and enjoy their salsa's. yum. Pros: Lots of Salsas, Inexpensive, fun Cons: lunch is crowded more

the absolute best~!!! 12/5/2002

the best soft tacos in southern california! also check out El Taurino on Hoover & Olympic. Same exact tacos, more restaurant style vs. the cafeteria style of King Taco more

gotta try it! 11/5/2002

King Taco is a great place to eat out anytime. A place to take the family, friends and of course a date before you going out dancing for the night. The tacos are good to eat and the burritos are filled up nice and large. Plus the serve chicken on the weekends. Go and try it yourself and see what everyone is talking about! more

No hay mas buena comida rapida 9/24/2002

Best fast food Mexican anywhere (especially the Pasadena location). Best of the best: sopes, tacos al pastor, tortas al pastor. more

Mmmm...tasty! 9/11/2002

I don't really like meat in my burritos, so I usually get the bean and cheese burrito at the Cal State LA location. Da bomb! Let them put everything on it....if you're worrying about onions then you ain't looking for a good meal. I also like the ""red sauce"" and the radishes with my burrito - Oh, and in the wintertime, get the coconut flavored Atole - so good you'll wanna cry! more

The best tacos, with the best hot sauce 7/10/2002

Everything is good, nothing bad to say. Only that you might have to wait to couple of minutes because there alot of people there. more

Authentic Vibes 5/21/2002

King Taco is by far one of the best authentic Mexican restaraunts in So. California. I highly recomend the ""Combination Burrito"" with carne asada. I would suggest in getting your salsa on the side. Not in the burrito! It's super hot but super tasty. You might wanna learn to speak spanish so you can get some extra's on the side. Orale! Pros: Good Parking, Clean, Authenticity Cons: Pricey more
