“Bungalower! Do you know anything about the new taco place opening in the closed King Bao in Winter Park?”
– BUNGALOWER READER
Well, this is harder to answer than it should be, reader!
A new sign is indeed hanging over the former home of King Bao’s Winter Park location at 1881 W. Fairbanks Avenue [GMap], reading “Taco’s Lab,” and it looks very similar to a growing brand out of Boca Raton. But it’s not.


We reached out to Taco Labs (Instagram | Website) to see if they were affiliated with this local project and to find out why the Winter Park location is spelled so differently with that possessive taco in the name, and they said they were not affiliated.
“No we are not. But that sound not too good.”
– TACO LABS
A current sign in the former King Bao window reads “Where every taco is an experiment in flavor.” The official Taco Labs motto is “Where tacos break limits and flavors break rules.”
The Google listing for Taco’s Lab describes itself as the following.

King Bao (Facebook | Instagram) permanently closed its Winter Park location on Saturday, December 28, 2024.
That’s all we know for now!
