King Taco # 11 — Restaurant in El Monte

Have stated before that I have a friend who boycotts Kings because of the awful service, I am joining his boycott because of their ridiculous greed! I bought 3 tacos and a tamale and they would not allow me more than 2 sauces! I asked for 2 green and 1 red because I wanted 1 green for the tamale alone, when I offered to pay for a third sauce I was told $1.29 which is outrageous for the size, same size as a pollo loco sauce, not creamy cilantro dressing, just a regular sauce. And the counter person was so mean about it too, she was scowling at me for asking for a third sauce. After I asked for the manager hoping for better luck with him, (didn't happen), thought I heard her say $1.09, either way over $1 for that size sauce is just plain greedy and I will not reward this kind of greed with continued patronige.

In a customer service workshop I attended I was taught that if your business is doing good the establishment with it's management and staff should still always remain humble and gracious and not ever take their client base for granted because once an arrogant attitude is assumed the business becomes jeopardized. I don't care how good the little tacos taste, I do not care to give them my business with their arrogant attitude and greedy sauce policy. Next time I am in the vicinity of Kings tacos El Monte will opt for a couple of fish tacos at Baja Ensenada instead.

One last thought, there's a painted mural sign on the south wall that states in Spanish: Welcome to your house where you are the king What a joke! I certainly did not feel welcomed or even respected while requesting a third sauce yesterday.

Have been informed that the 99¢ for an extra salsa is listed on their menu; how does this make a difference? Will say again that I won't reward their greed by returning as a customer, not to any of their locations. Raising Cane's charges .39¢ for their creamy delicious remoulade, don't have an issue paying for extra sauce there because that is reasonable. .99¢ for a tiny container is JUST PLAIN GREEDY. No...

I love King Taco, Well I used to love it their delicious Green salsa, Spicy Red Salsa which they’re greedy with always, their flavorful meat and their carne Asada nachos with jalapeños which I keep coming back but now every time I go the portions are getting smaller, more expensive and with my last visit at king taco made it my last visit for good. The last visit hit the last nail in the coffin beside everything I describe above I got a few hair in my burrito went to let the person at the register know she called the manager, manager ask me “ what do I want your money back?” I reply “ No I’ll just take some nachos instead” it’s the same value of the burrito $8.49+ tax she gave me a grin whisper something to the server and gave me my nachos with a little bit of cheese and meat which ilI laugh saying to my self it’s their loss. Now king taco greediness comes from the higher ranks the founder kids but the filthiness and bad service of the location, well that comes from management. “ A business is only as good as it’s customer service.” Comment if you had any bad experience or what you think about king taco. If you have never try king taco you should give it a try. The Founder Raul will be devastated to see everything he build from the ground up all just to...

When did King Taco change so much! I remember the old king taco being delicious, added great flavors, also guacamole to some of their tacos! Also a refill station.

Well all that is gone! No refills on any soda products, no lemons (king taco doesn’t serve lemons at any of their locations from what the manager and service ladies told me) super expensive on adding guacamole. I waited in line just like everyone else. My friends were behind me and my number was 356 being first I thought I would get my food first. That’s not what happened here. All my friends got their food before I did. 10-15 mins Went by, went to see the manager and she said “they’ll make it right now” looked at my ticket and it was in the side away from the service lady. Basically they passed my ticket.

In any any ANY Mexican food restaurants they serve LEMONS! Onions on the side if asked for it! And free refills on any soft drinks!

Sorry king taco it’s sad to say this but I will never visit you again. Same goes...
