King David Tacos

"King David Tacos is driving around the city doing bulk breakfast taco drops. If that sounds like something you want (how could it not be?), fill out their order form and sign up for a time slot. You can even select contactless delivery and they’ll just drop it off at your door." - hannah albertine

"“I started out with a taco stand. That was my first venture into food,” says Harney. “I like the uniqueness of the tacos.” As a transplant from Austin, King David’s Liz Solomon is on a mission to overthrow NYC’s beloved bodega breakfast sandwiches with breakfast tacos. Harney is all for it. “Her recipes are really doing something special within that circle. Try the NO. 5 taco”—vegan chili and potato. KDT has two taco carts around the city as well as a brick-and-mortar shop in Brooklyn." - carla thomas

"You can get King David tacos at a number of carts across Brooklyn and Manhattan (Madison Square Park, just outside Prospect Park, or in FiDi), along with an ever-growing number of coffee shops. But their first brick-and-mortar in Prospect Heights has a slightly more expanded menu, and even though it's still grab-and-go, there are a few tables outside. Along with all of their classic breakfast tacos, you’ll find a few all-day tacos and some really tangy queso here, which you should order with chorizo. The two new tacos—the Cowboy (steak, potato, eggs, and cheddar) and the Pollo Verde (shredded chicken, verde migas, and white cheddar cheese)—taste like meaty love letters to on-the-go eating, and should always be accompanied with a Topo Chico or iced horchata." - carina finn koeppicus

"King David Tacos, founded by Liz Solomon, has closed its last taco cart in Manhattan located in Madison Square Park. The closure comes ahead of its five-year lease due to anticipated congestion pricing. The cart was the company's last presence in Manhattan, following the earlier closure in the Financial District at the start of the pandemic. The business maintains a flagship restaurant in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, and sells tacos from various restaurants across the city." - Luke Fortney

"These days, you can get King David tacos at a number of carts spread around Manhattan and even in various coffee shops, grocery stores, and other quick-stops you can flee before your clothes change colors. But your sweaty self can also kick back at their brick-and-mortar, where there’s plenty of outdoor seating for those who just want to succumb to the sun and everything that comes with it. Their HQ also has an expanded menu with all-day items like a pollo verde taco, chorizo queso, and—crucially—iced horchatas. " - neha talreja
