it is all about Carnitas Michoacan near China Town. Still the best carne asada burrito I've ever had. The hot sauce they make is fantastic. Open 24 hours too.

Anyone go to El Taurino on Hoover and Olympic? I swear they put crack in their meat. I've heard it tastes the same as King Taco but I've never been to one. El Taurino has bombass asada and hot sauce too. They also have good Sopes, Chorizo Tortas, and Tameles too.

Several weeks later I go back and the meat still taste like sheet and prices went up. Is it just me and my tastebud or are they cutting corners on their quality of meat? So far I've gone to 3 places (Peck, Ramona, Garvey) all 3 has this mysterious new meat, Im going to go to the one on Cheaser Chavez which I think is the OG location and give it one last shot.

If it turns out to be like the other ones then King Taco has lost my business.
Their meat quality was never that great to begin with but I recently ate the the one on Garvey and it tasted the same to me. Maybe you got a bad batch?

El Taurino is owned by King Taco as well. But for some reason when i compare the two, El Taurino taste better.

I've heard that the El taurino and King Taco owners are brothers.....I guess one's goin down the corporate road... and I agree ^^ El taurino seems more consistent in quality and taste. But if anyone is in Pomona, check out " Taco Jalisco" its across the street from the police station. same area as the courts..... tacos are quality, asada flavor stands out. no hiding flavor behind hot sauce.
