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

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.
