One of Los Angeles’ most iconic taco institutions could soon receive official recognition from city leaders. The original King Taco location in Cypress Park is being considered for designation as a Historic-Cultural Monument, a move that would formally acknowledge the restaurant’s influence on LA’s taco culture and its role as a symbol of Latino immigrant entrepreneurship, according to LAist. The proposal is scheduled to be reviewed by the city’s Planning and Land Management Committee, which will consider adding the restaurant at 1118 N.
