Tips from locals
Long-running chain serving fast-food Mexican standards (tacos, tamales) in a no-frills setting.
King Taco was founded in 1974 by Raul Martínez, Sr., who operated a mobile lunch wagon out of a converted ice cream truck. Author Gustavo Arellano has credited Martinez as the inventor of the modern taco truck. Within six months, he opened the first of the chain's restaurants in Cypress Park. This inexpensive spot offers a straight forward menu of tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and tamales. On weekends, they offer rotisserie chicken. This place is fast and cheap and always packed!
