Part of King David Tacos

King David Tacos is a woman-owned and Brooklyn-founded company. We specialize in grab’n’go breakfast tacos, made for everyday enjoyment with simple ingredients.

We started as a small catering operation in 2016, opened our Taco Carts in landmark parks across the city, and now distribute our tacos to over 70 Retail Partner locations across the city daily. We operate out of our HQ at 611 Bergen Street in Prospect Heights, which is also home to our production facility and first brick and mortar.

Founder Liz Solomon Dwyer hails from Austin, TX, and knew that the convenience and wholesomeness of the breakfast taco was missing in the New York morning routine. We have established the category and our goal is to be the best grab’n’go breakfast in NYC, and beyond. We value our partners and customers, and offer them a better, convenient breakfast without compromising taste or health.
