Taco King

I came here the other day with some co-​workers for lunch, it was my first visit. We got there at 11am to beat the lunch rush. I drive a larger 4×4 truck and pulling into their tiny parking lot left me with nowhere to park as it’s one in, one out. I ended up pulling up and over the curb near a fence in order to fit.
The décor is funky, but appropriate for the style of restaurant. The counter staff were friendly and helpful and I settled on a «king burrito» for around $ 11. Our food arrived promptly and I was very pleased with the quality and taste as well as portion size. I also appreciated the fresh, FREE homemade salsa too! This is nearly full service restaurant quality at fast food pricing.
Leaving the restaurant was also an ordeal as it was now approaching the noon rush and people were pouring into the parking lot and others were trying to get out causing a massive jam up. So I am conflicted as I want to come back and eat, but I don’t want to navigate that insane parking lot. So in the end, 5 stars for food, 1 star for the hassle and frustration of trying to park there. I guess the best thing is to come at off peak times and avoid the rush of lunch and dinner. Taco King should lease a few spots from the hotel on the other side of the fence and solve the entire problem.

This was a pleasant surprise. Fresh food, good flavors and an assortment of soups too.

This is a fast food restaurant of Mexican Cuisine. They everything from burritos, tacos to tostadas. I ordered the Carne Combination plate; the food is quite tasty. Though I do prefer my Mexican food fresh and made to order, the food did seem to be sitting under a heating lamp and then reheated. But for the price you can’t beat it.
The restaurant itself is so beautifully decorated in Mexican art & décor. Literally the table tops, chairs and booths are adorned in Mexican inspired Art.
They have a drive thru too!

Worst of all Taco King locations. Quality of food and service. If you’re a true Taco King customer you would know this statement to be true. You are forewarned!

Timing issue with the fried ice cream for my friend. I love their tortas. Would eat there again for sure.

For a «fast food» Mexican place this was great. I ordered the nachos which aren’t hard to mess up. They were great. The person I went with couldn’t eat his taco so I had it. It has a generous amount of chicken and was a very good authentic taco. They have a bad with salsa, jalapenos, and even sour cream. Great place for a quick bite to eat!

I always pick Taco King for my go-​to fiesta craving. The chicken special taco are my favorite with plenty of pico.
The staff is always friendly with great service. I have tried pretty much everything on their menu and enjoyed it all.
A complimentary basket of chips would be great but this doesn’t stop[ me from visiting at least twice a week.

I am very disappointed with the service here. I called in the other day for pick up, and I could barely understand the man on the phone talking. He was being super rude because I couldn’t understand him. The worst part of this, is when I went to pick up my food the same man that I talked to on the phone went to check out my order (still being very rude to me).He said it was $ 15.90 and that was the correct amount, so I signed my receipt and crossed off where it said tip. I would have gave a tip if I got nice customer service but I was just very upset with his attitude towards me. As I handed him my signed receipt, he gave me a really dirty look almost looked like he was disgusted with me. I smiled and said thank you and left. Later that day, I checked my account and it said I was charged $ 17.90 from taco king. You don’t want to know how mad I was with him adding a tip, that he did not receive or deserved. I have worked for tips and I understand, but I would never modify someone’s receipt. Just be careful, and make sure you keep your receipt and keep track of your bank account. Never going to this taco king, very disappointed. (Note, I do love their food, but the customer service and honesty needs to be worked on)

As I drove up to taco king I was struck with the fear that the building reminded me of a Typical fast food restaurant. However once into the building the aromas of the food and the Décor told me I was in for something much better. I ordered the special tacos because I love corn tortillas. I made it a combo with beans and rice. The service was quick the food was delicious. The food was good tasting with fresh salsa and cilantro. Overall very impressed and would recommend it to someone else coming to town. The only reason it is not five stars is I wish I got more meat on the tacos for the price.

Great Mexican food at an even better price. Plus they have horchata as a drink option (try it if you have never had it)! Love the back ground music if your eating in… Sometimes the cook will even break out into song! Love it!

I live quite nearby. On a whim, I decided to pop in here on my way home for the mexican quesadilla and chicken enchiladas. The prices were low, the service was quite fast and the employees were friendly and professional. The food was alright, but I felt it lacked a certain something. Of course, it is several steps up from Taco Bell, but it’s nothing special. Large portions, so you won’t leave hungry.
Also, they have a very good condiment bar.

This place had delicious chicken «street» tacos. It was affordable and good at the same time. Everything on my plate was good! I would come back!

Best Mexican food in AK. Always accommodating my weird requests. Like when I ask them to add carne asada to my veggie burrito. I just love ALL the veggies in my burrito plus meat.

Nothing special but they did make sure you don’t go home hungry as the portions are very large. The food was good but not outstanding. I would go here again if staying in the hotel next door but probubly not make a special trip here.

Dinner at Taco King is almost like being at home, only better! I enjoyed my halibut tacos with their spicy salsas. Yum! The tomatoes and cabbage made it taste fresh. The room is cheerful and clean. An experience we will repeat!

It’s hard to believe that you can get good tasting Mexican food so far from Mexico an it’s coming from a fast food restaurant!
The food here is fresh and very good not to mention that you can get a good sized plate for under $ 10.
The décor and atmosphere is very fun with a distinct local Mexican vibe. My only criticism is that some of the seats could use repair and that they should provide a bigger container for salsa when you order chips.
If your in the mood for Mexican food this is the only place I would go.

This brand has done a very good job in a niche market like this. Their only real competition is Taco Bell, and that’s not much. I really like this concept. Mexican «fast food» that doesn’t taste «fast».
I usually get the Carne Asada combo. Rice, beans, and lots of seasoned steak. At $ 9.75, a good bargain. The condiment bar is awesome, with lots of salsas, pico de gallo, and sour cream. As much as you want. Since there aren’t any fresh jalapeños, I go for the «hot» salsa, and it is very good.
Fast friendly service, good food, and good prices. A trifecta in my book!

Really delicious pollo plate! Thought it was a great value as well (under $ 10). Also has a salsa bar but didn’t need it. I didn’t try the «veggie burrito» but it was definitely lacking in veggies (hence the 4 out of 5 stars). Put a decent veggie burrito option on the menu and this place would be a perfect fast food mexi place! Bonus, I think they deliver!

One of my favorite Mexican places. The company is local, the people are local and the food is yummy. Stop here often for takeout on my way home.

I’ve always been a fan of Taco King, and this was my first visit to this location. I’m a bit of a food snob, and just remember Taco King tasting a lot better than it did. I had the Queen Tostada and felt like the shell was a bit too greasy for my taste. Overall, it was an okay meal, but next time I go, I’ll probably go back to ordering the tacos or burritos.
