Pretty much the same as King Taco but here you can order the tostada. If it wasn't for the tostada, I'd rather goto King taco. King taco is consistent with their portions, taste, and quality. El taurino is so inconsistent with their quality.

A fan for years. All of the food I have eaten here has been great! From the carne asada tacos to their tortas, burritos and everything in between. Their red spicy salsa is WOW. The people who work have the best attitude. The ambiance; exactly what you'd expect. Again, I've been coming for years. Either after a long night of celebrating or simply just to grab tacos and go during the middle of the day. Swing by and taste for yourself.

Love the flavors here. By far one of the best places for asada nachos. They are consistent with the flavors of there salsas and meat. Definitely in my rotation for places to eat in LA when craving Mexican food

I love that I can come here early in the morning or late at night for tacos! Food comes out prepared as they're ordered. Red sauce is spicy but it's a good kind of spicy. Green sauce is also a must! Tried their nachos and it's a bit on the salty side so I just stick with their tacos.

This place is actually pretty good. It's really spacious and they have a variety of options from meats to food selections. I tried the Al pastor tacos and quesadilla de al pastor and both were really good. The horchata was decent, not the best I've had but satisfying.

We wanted Mexican food. As soon as I walked in I felt like I was at King taco. From the parking lot, to the entrance and everything on the walls. Then while I ordered I asked the lady I feel like this is King Taco and she said it pretty much was. However we got the chicken quesadillas and my daughter raved about it. We asked to get guacamole when we ordered and the lady advised that it came with a small cup. However when we got our food it wasn't there. Apparently you MUST ask for it or they don't give it to you. They did give it to me, but it was frustrating to have to go and ask. I got two tacos and found the corn tortillas to be a little hard. Normally they dip the tortillas in oil and it appeared to have been missing that extra grease because they were not moist like king taco. We got Al pastor burritos with all meat and added EXTRA meat. My husband loved the burrito so much. He said it was moist compared to King Taco. Same with the carne asada burritos, they were nice and moist. So everything was better except the corn tortillas. Salsa was green and red exactly like King Taco. Look forward to going back.

I came here while visiting LA and I was craving some beed tongue tacos. There was also a good amount of parking in their own private lot which was so convenient! You order your food and they call your order and pickup window number from a microphone. I think the most number of people who can sit at one table is 4. I ordered the tacos and a quesadilla and they really hit the spot of my cravings. The quesadilla did not skimp out on cheese at all either. Came with hot sauce (super hot) and a tiny cup of guac. Delicious! Overall, ordering and getting my order was very straightforward. Service was fine, no issues. I can't speak for larger orders since mine was so small and simple.

A staple in koreatown. Honestly can say they have the best tacos around town along with king taco. Been coming here since I was in elementary school. Only thing that sucks is that the portions have gotten smaller over the years. Service honestly depends on the time you come. Staff works as fast as they can to get orders out. If you're ever in the area, it's always a good time to get some tacos
