About King David Tacos

Founded in Brooklyn in 2016, King David Tacos is a woman-owned CPG / Hospitality hybrid food company, focused on making a better on-the-go breakfast. Our breakfast tacos are critically-acclaimed, and we have established the breakfast taco market in New York. We operate out of our 11,000 square foot headquarters and production facility in Prospect Heights. We are a vertically-integrated business, and we sell our breakfast tacos across Retail (brick & mortar, mobile, catering) and Wholesale (foodservice) channels. 

Our products–breakfast tacos–are straightforward, but require great attention to detail. We produce all of our ingredients and menu items daily and then package our breakfast tacos for grab’n’go. Read more about us and our backstory at kingdavidtacos.com
