best authentic mexican food

by kurucocktails at Citysearch

whoever wrote that King taco is overratedobviously has no clue to good mexican food. probably likes Aculpulco's. King Taco has the best mexican food around. I have been trying to perfect their tamale recipe for years now, and just can't seem to do it! Best tamales I've ever had, including in Mexico.

The atmosphere isn't exactly fab, but people go for the food, not the plastic chairs. I recommend wearing super casual clothing and you'll be just fine. oh and if your white and can bring an hispanic friend with you, you will get much better service! You also have a bettter chance of them NOT telling you they ran out of tamales!

Horrible LIES

by LoveNGlory at Citysearch

Out of all restaurants I have ever visited this one is the worse.I went in july 23 The security was real rude to us.we came 4 minutes past 3am and the guy kicks us out. Not pleasantly but screaming like their food was any good. I told him how can restaurant with a giant banner saying 24hr be closed. This is false advertising and such horrible service. Not worth going there again.

  • Pros: Nothing
  • Cons: Stupid Security

Greatest Tacos

by thatguy6 at Citysearch

The food here is incredible, the price is not so bad. You have to wait for a while for your food though. The location around the restaurant looks kind of dangerous, but its lower LA so there is no much to expect.

  • Pros: Food and price
  • Cons: location around the restaurant
