Service is friendly & quick; not too many people ordering & you can also mobile order for pick up. You order at the counter that's located outside of the restaurant. They call your order through a loud speaker and then you choose where to sit (indoor & outdoor seating) not located in the best neighborhood but it's a clean establishment with security out front. I always get their asada sopes, they cook their tortillas perfectly. I also got their asada burrito & although it doesn't have any cheese or sour cream, it was perfect. The sauce is super flavorful but spicy so tread at your own risk PS try their champurrado! (Cinnamon hot chocolate) Super delicious and comes in a styrofoam cup so it's stays nice & hot

Can't go wrong in downtown LA with King Taco! The environment and aesthetic is perfect for a quick but delicious bite to eat. While being able to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine!

Order by one of the windows and wait for your number to be called and pick up your food by one of the pick-up windows. I'll get flamed for this but 5 Stars for my personal favorite Carne Asada Sopes with their house red sauces! Soft meats and well marinated. Not chicken, not al pastor and not anywhere else except this location - since 2011 whenever I pass by LA. Be careful of not overeating their red sauce or you'll awaken a fire dragon all the way in and out. lol. Staff are cordinal and they keep dining areas clean. Becareful of pigeons walking around during the day looking for your foods. : ) It's 5 minutes from the Citadel Outlet if you're shopping there. KING TACO - PLEASE COME TO OC! Over the decade, I tried tacos, burritos, quesadillas, nachos, tamales but always ended up with 3-4 Carne Asada Sopes with extra cheeses (sometimes) and extra cabbages (always) -they just taste so good! Large drink is only $3.75 and $2 for refill. It's $6 in OC! Horchata is pretty good - milky and cinnamon. There are spoons, forks and napkins, but you have to ask for them. Pre-pandemic -everything was outside - self-served. There are seatings inside and outside or eat in the car. There's a restroom on the side of the building. Parking - it gets pretty busy and tight during peak hours (lunch, dinner, especially weekend).

The king of tacos. It is definitely a staple in Los Angeles long before all the food carts and street vendors made their mark. The sign is visible off the 5 freeway. The menu is limited. They offer tacos, burritos, sopes and quesdillas. Weekends, they offer rotisserie chicken meals. We opted for a few tacos, a quesdilla and a sope. Zero issues finishing the food. Everything was made to order. Everything was very tastey. Lines are long, but they move quickly. There is plenty of outdoor eating.

I've been to this spot many times, and it's always good. Today I had one each cabesa, carnitas, and asada tacos. All were delicious. The line goes pretty slow, but no one seemed to mind. Always a good idea to pull over at Olympic when you see that very tall sign, beckoning.

Great food every single time though it is a tad more expensive than most other Mexican food restaurants. The flavors you taste with tour first bite of any food item from this restaurant is a always going to be a good experience. The choices are many and the employees are very pleasant, hardworking and attentive to every customer's requests. The horchata (my favorite drink) is second to none and definitely has a great taste of cinnamon. The vibe here and all of their locations is very relaxed and causal. One of my favorite places to eat when I am craving a chicken burrito which is every single day
