38 Best Taco Restaurants in Long Beach

“The food is great but be aware that it is a bit on the over priced side. Service is ok, needs some improvement as the cashier taking our order was somewhat confused about the menu or she could have been new. Over all the ambience is great, it gets busy at times and seating is limited. I definitely recommend it though.“

“By far the best califries you can get and the best churros.Califries are amazing cause you can pick 2 meats.They have a wonderful bean and cheese burrito. I enjoy that they have pickled carrots and jalapeño, beans, cucumber and a variety of salsas.“

“Everything here was chef’s kiss! My visit was in person and I ordered the Beets Me Burger! The Beets Me burger was so delicious and I loved the fact that it was made from mushrooms and beets. The flavor was amazing and the brioche bun was nicely toasted. I ordered the Biscuit Bomb and through UberEats and it is The Bomb! The biscuit was nice and soft and all of the flavors paired well together. The Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup did not disappoint! I will definitely be back for another visit whenever I’m in this area!“

“One of the Best Al pastor in town!Corn tortillas are made on the spot, huge al pastor meat roasting on the spot. I love all their green & red salsa, red salsa def have a kick, but it's good if you like it spicy. Their burritos and quesadillas are also good, huge! Great service, friendly staffs, line goes by pretty quickly, just be patient, worth the wait.They take cash & zelle.Follow on IG to get updated times and locations through out so cal.“

“Nice little casual place to grab a bite. You order your food at the food truck window and can go into a separate building to sit down. Tacos were tasty and the best part was having different topping options, a couple salsas, pickled onions, Cilantro, Radish, cucumber etc. We were on our way from Orange County up to the Bay Area and wanted to eat quickly to keep driving. Glad we stopped here as it was really close off the freeway.Carne asada and al pastor tacos were delicious. Also tried the suadero but they weren't really my thing. Would come again!“

“I have been coming to Joliza's since they opened and I am pleased to say they still have excellent food and service. Had the beef cheek tacos with an horchata today, but I've tried everything on the menu. Tacos were packed with juicy meat and the horchata was so creamy. The owner topped off my horchata while I was eating, which was so nice. It's little service touches like that that keep me coming back. Tho tbh I think I'd still go back if they were rude because that's how tasty it is.“

“Delicious food. Must try! Salsa bar is the best around and so is their food. Burritos are $10 right now and tacos are 2.50 each. Fair prices. Their portions are generous. Will continue to come back. Been coming here for at least a year or so.“

“As someone from San Diego I always claimed our tacos are better but this food truck changed my mind. This is the best food truck for tacos and they are super affordable. every time I'm in LA I will make sure to drive down to Long Beach just to get to them fireeeee!“

“Delicious casual local spot! We got the enchiladas, tacos (birria were the best), tamales, and horchata. The owner was very friendly and patient with our limited Spanish. Indoor seating for ~15 and outdoor tables for ~10 people. Would highly recommend!!“

“I do not know you, have never ate their.I read on the news your kindness in helping an elderly woman being attacked and robbed. You were badly hurt trying to help a stranger. I wish we had more people like you!!Get well soon, and God Bless.Floyd“

“Let me tell you this was very delicious to enjoy. I normally have a very high expectation when it comes to Mexican food but this definitely hit that. I ordered the tacos, the chicken, the Carne Asada and their adobada!! I was so impressed by their chicken because it’s not easy to really pull off and it was really delicious. I tried there mulitas in adobada I straight lick the plate clean! Also had their Carne Asada quesadilla and their latte and they were so so good. I even tried their Michelada and it was scrumptious! service was super friendly. Everyone was such great energy. And the restaurant is beautiful. It’s clean very well. Decorated everything branded very well.Oh, and they even make their own tortillas!!!“

“Best pizza in town, in my opinion. I always come here for 3 slices of pizza,the pizza tastes better than Little Caesars, my opinion. Great service. The slices are descent and can't beat the price per slice of pizza unless you go to Costco, but why drive so far of your close to this great pizza spot.“

“Went here for a business lunch, had the squash tacos which were a very tasty vegetarian option. They were accommodating of our ~15 person group last minute, helping to move tables on the patio together for us. Got food out in a reasonable amount of time for our large group.“

“Ordered takeout here. The LT burrito was very delicious. Meat was juicy and tender. In order it with just beans and meat because it packs a lot of flavor, don't need the extras, at least for me. We ordered tacos, again plain packed a lot of flavor. Had nachos, pleasantly surprised, not greasy and the chips maintained a crunch even after a few stops after pick up. Went Steelcraft location. Nice, clean, and good atmosphere. Personnel were friendly, even though they are in a cramped environment, they perform well. Wonderful job.“

“The food was good. The service was great.I had an order or Carne Asada fries, along with a chicken quesadilla and a cucumber pineapple agua(water).The fries were well seasoned, and the meat was cooked well, not dry or bland. The chicken quesadilla was also good, nothing too amazing or out of this world. Typical chicken quesadilla. The cucumber pineapple water was a bit sweet for my taste but good. Their salsas were actually pretty good in flavor. They had a strong lemony taste. The guacamole was literally nothing other than mashed to avocado with some lemon. But it didn't have the Pico de gallo that you'd normally expect in a guacamole salsa.“

“This place got way better. Not only they added the kiosks to make the ordering system flows better, but their prices did not change a lot unlike other places. Can never go wrong with fish and chips! Always spot on for me. Very flaky and moist. Any other grilled items along with zucchini and kaleslaw, always good too! Team members are always friendly and welcoming. They will also take care of your table after you leave so you can just leave all your plates. Ever since pandemic, they don't have the self serve condiments anymore but you can always ask for them extras when you pick your order. Definitely a must if you like seafood!“

“I've only been to the window at night time and it literally hits the spot every time. The area isn't the best so I wouldn't eat there unless I'm with a group. I love the birria tacos and their birria fries and of course horchata “

“Recently joined the "Toogoodtowaste" app and decided to log in to see what was offered in the surrounding areas and this place popped up. Ended up ordering the 5.99 "surprise" box and you pick up within a certain time frame. Ended up getting a dozen and a half of donuts! Most were glazed which are not my favorite but they were good nonetheless. I gave about an entire dozen to my neighbors downstairs cause the quantity was just too much.“

“This is my go to spot on Taco Tuesday and a couple other days a week if I can afford it. Even though all goods are purchased at an all time high and wages being stagnant, I by a bunch of tacos and hum when I devour them. No Taco truck brings me into heaven when I eat these al pastor tacos. When I undulge into 6 al pastor tacos there is nothing but peace and tranquility as I take each bite. My children live it too. The young lady that takes the orders is super nice along with (I believe) the owner. I get a kick out of the guy that takes my order he just seems so happy he bounces up and down and says your total will be ONLY....(then the price). That tickles my tummy to death The lady will totally have a conversation with my kids. To me that is service because not only do my kids feel heard and my order gets placed.... I get good tacos to eat. I appreciate this Taco truck and the folks working as hard as they do to provide food and good service.Parking: The location is at an autoshop on pch and atlantic... there is decent street parking.Kid-friendliness: The lady that took my order was great to my kidsWheelchair accessibility: It's flat terrain“

“So me my wife & youngest son wanted to try out a different restaurant. As we drove around town my son said let's try that place, without any questions I pulled into the parking lot & said let's see what they have...WOW, they have everything, and when I say everything I mean everything. From soups to burritos to tacos and tortas. Let's start with the customer service - AMAZING spot on very helpful, I had questions about different food options .Food - Flavorful, great taste & very fresh ingredients meat was very tasty and juicy .Yelp family let's try our local spots & give support To little restaurants that give so much to our communities.“

“First time in southern California ( landed in LAX) was driving down to San Diego for a job and really wanted to try some tacos. And found this golden gem on the way. Nice people, amazing tacos ( that remind you of Mexico) highly recommend to try it!“

“This place has amazing tacos! My personal favorites are the birria and al pastor. The tortillas are handmade which just make the tacos even more flavorful. This place even has tasty and spicy salsas. Overall this place is a 10/10. Better than any restaurant.“

“Great food. We tried Camarones Azul (bacon wrapped shrimp & crab meat), beef quesadilla, tacos, chicken tenders with fries and Agua fresca. Freshly made / grilled and delicious. Highly recommended ?.Kid-friendliness: The kids love the chicken tenders with fries and cheese sticks.Parking: Street parking“

“It's hard to find birria de chivo most places have birria de res. This birria is good! I've tried birria en caldo,birria quesadilla,birria queso taco so far and they all been awesome, they add a good amount of birria so you'll be full or even leftover,the hand made tortilla is good as well.The macha salsa is good with a nice kick of spice. Price wise it's ok not great but then again everything has gone up, the staff is real nice and friendly I highly recommend this spot!“

“Pretty fantastic hole in the wall, with some seriously good eats. Their tacos and burritos are excellent and stand out for me. Everyone mostly takes out, as it's not really designed to sit in. Street parking all around. Call in ahead and you're not even waiting...“

“It's been awhile since I've eaten here, but I did remember enjoying it last time I was here. Decided to check it out again and bring my daughter. We were definitely not disappointed. There are so many different options on the menu, so you are bound to find something you like. I ordered The Couch (2 eggs, 2 bacon & 2 sausage, super spuds & pancakes). Everything was cooked perfect and delicious. My daughter ordered the chicken fried steak with a biscuit. She raved at the homemade taste of the biscuit. They clearly use high quality ingredients in all of their food. The servers were all so nice & attentive, and the restaurant was very quaint with a diner appeal. We look forward to returning so we can try some of the other yummy breakfast items.“

“This is hands down the number one spot to eat at Locally The El Pastor burrito with everything on it is my go to favorite on my off days not only is a salsa perfect and spicy to the tea the meat is high-quality and the love put into the food is superior I highly suggest you give it a shot !“

“If you want to enjoy some of the best classic tacos in town , you could never go wrong at antojitos , not only the tacos but the great variety of Mexican food and drinks that this place offers is worth the trip…once you tried them , you will come back and come back for more!!!“

“Very good very delicious love the place and the people very freindly I recommend anyone in the long beach area to come try this place had a couple of different dishes camarones campechanos and a costa azul also the langostinos are one of the best !!!“

“I love tacos from Pantera. They have the best masa ever. Freshly made tortillas as you order. I don’t think they’re stingy with the meat at all, IMO its the perfect amount so you can put some onions cilantro and the delicious salsas on it. I have been eating along with my family at Tacos Pantera for many months now. And we will keep coming back! Highly recommend. Their tortillas are unlike any other I’ve had.“

“This place is legit for real! Ordered a carnitas torta and it was loaded up with crispy cruchy carnitas and had the right amount of lettuce and beans. They provide onions and cilantro on the side so you can add as much as you like. The avocado and green salsa are some of the tastiest I have had.“

“the taste and quality really vary dependent on who is cooking. the quality seems to be degrading as they have doubled the prices in the last few years. I understand that costs have gone up nationally, so they have to charge more, but cutting corners isn't something that I appreciate. They have been out of red sauce for over a week, so I'm very led to believe that they don't make much of their food fresh daily anymore. The burrito I just ordered is extremely salty, which can often happen if you use frijoles that may have been cooked and reheated multiple times. I don't really see any beans in my burrito, but they are there somewhere thru the overwhelming amount of rice. As I've had really great experiences in the past, I'm rating 3 stars even tho today's experience was lower. The chicken Tinga quesadilla was very tasty and the Sopes were great. this restaurant used to have daily specials that often included daily Guisados (various Mexican stews) but they stopped that a long time ago. many items are often out of stock and not available for periods of time, so I recommend calling in your order so you don't waste your time trying to find parking just to find that your favorite items aren't available. Will update review if/when things get better or worse.“

“Best tacos in Southern California! if you visit Long Beach you have to stop by here. Forget about the street tacos it's dangerous you don't know what you're eating in the street, this is an establishment that's been here for many years clean and checked by the health department.“

“The tacos are bomb! Ever since my girlfriend and I tried this place out, we haven't gone back to our other taco trucks in our area. The salsas are carefully made and taste consistent each time. Idk what the orange one is, but that has to be their signature coz that sh**s fire! Each taco has a bit of guac so it just makes it even better. And the texture of the tortilla is soft yet holds everything together.I recommend Tacos, Burrito, and the Asada Fries***“

“I absolutely love this place. There's a lot of taco places around but taco loco appears to be the one where they sell cheaper and BETTER tacos. Wet burritos also appear to be much cheaper than the ones nearby as well. I'm just saying. There's no real point of eating any of the other Mexican places nearby when you have this OG place that's been standing there for 40-50+ years. Absolutely do recommend checking this place out.“

“Delicious legit tacos and burritos. The nice thing about this place during the Covid era is it's designed for take-out service. The ordering counter is outside on the storefront. So plenty of fresh moving air while you check out the menu. The location is surrounded by a lot of gritty hard-working businesses and an expanse of trucking. The folks inside are friendly and provide service with a smile.“

“My first impressions was wow! Carne asada burrito is LEGIT! The Flavor, the size and the meat was so good! Finally a place that has everything I've been looking for.... Oscar steered me in the right direction when he told me to get "Asada" in my burrito, the hot sauce it's freaking good( always important when comes to a burrito)meat has great flavor. It's hard to find a place like this, but they do exist, This is my new "go to spot" this is the "needle in a haystack" in my bookI will definitely be patronizing this spot for a long time! Thanks Oscar appreciated the advice!“

“We're staying at an AirBnB locally and took a walk around the block, running into this shop at lunchtime. It's a bit of a dive, but plenty clean to all appearances. Good tacos at a reasonable price and they didn't gouge on the soda and water. Good chicken and al pastor. Carne asada a bit weak (as others have mentioned), but decent. We both enjoyed the inexpensive and satisfying lunch.Parking: It's a small lot shared with the sports bar to the north, but has 5 or 6 spots adjacent to the building. Ins and outs might be challenging at such a primary intersection (we walked so didn't test this thought)“
