“I'm not going to Tijuana for just some tacos only if I go out to las pulgas!best club in Tijuana“

“I'll be honest the atmosphere is not good yet if you wish to taste an authentic Mexican dish ex taco, burrito etc with hand made tortillas and great quality of meats and vegetables this is the place to go. And moreover the prices are cheap. I'm definitely coming back.!😁“

“Winter today and got the osada burrito Asada burrito for my husband and the Asada tortillas for my daughter. Both said that they are the best that they have had in a while. The burrito was so big that my husband can't even finish it very well proportioned. I recommend this place to anybody because their food is awesome.“

“Even if not stopping on the way home, the charcoal aroma makes their asada of the best fills the street almost everyday providing comfort for us in the neighborhood. As many reviews mention the pastor, it is worth its weight in gold. I bounce back and forth getting each.

My only wish, alongside one review, is that they were on the spicier side... Definitely doesnt diminish the pure excellence of this place though and they're of the best. I'll be back soon and thank you for being in the neighborhood.“

“WOW. I stopped here on the last day of my trip by happenstance and they blew me away beyond belief. From the moment I walked in the ambiance was incredible. I had beyond fantastic service and really felt taken care of. I ordered a chicken taco and a bean and cheese and was BLOWN away. The sauces are increíble but what makes this place different is the incredible tortillas. I had to take some home with me because I couldn’t live without them. Overall an over 10/10 experience and I will be planning my next trip to Long Beach just for another visit to Sonoratown!!“

“Hidden semi hole in the wall taco spot. Located in a large plaza with plenty of free self parking. The restaurant is clean and the staff is friendly. You can see them preparing all the ingredients as well as tacos cuesadillas, and burritos. There are a few indoor tables and seating. There's also a small salsa bar.
The menu is limited and straight forward. Basically choose the type of meat you prefer.
This is not fast food. It takes time to prepare fresh food made to order.
Tried the shrimp vampiros. It's kind of like a tostada so best to eat that first since the shell will fall apart if you eat your tacos or burritos first. It's very yummy!
Also tried the chicken taco. It was ok...nothing special about it.

Definitely get the free onion and jalapeno.

The salsa bar has your
typical tomatoes, onions, limes, etc. but it would've been nice if they had cilantro
There's also two containers with free beans so make sure to grab some.

Prices are a bit high for the tacos at $3.25. The vampiro is priced right at $4.15
Portions are a bit small but they make up for it with the free beans and salsa bar.

If you're in the area, it's worth a try. There are better Taco spots elsewhere, imo.“

“this place are amazing the og burritos was so delicioso service was great thanks to JC this guy are A_Plus good customer services“

“Man I wish I had this close to home , every time I’m in La this is my go to taco shop I’ve tried many from random YouTube videos but never beats out these tacos .

Much love from nor cal to my taco spot in LA you guys are appreciated“

“highly recommend went to the one in Venice Beach. sooooooo good!!!“

“Came across this place after looking for another spot and I have to say I was NOT disappointed! I had the pastor, buche, lengua, and cabeza tacos and it was absolutely delicious! Usually when I have buche, lengua and cabeza it always tastes gamy but I don’t like to avoid trying new ones and I’m so glad I didn’t avoid it from here!! I had 7 tacos for $17! Really good for the amount you get!

Parking: Street parking or park in a lot or gas station nearby“

“Amazing hospitality, great service and even better food. Cheers to this family run business working passionately to maintain standards and quality of food. If you haven’t been here at least once, you are missing out. Stop by, say hello to the owner and his daughter Jasmine.“

“very good food very good and friendly staff always nice warm n welcoming with a smile on their face 😁“

“I went yesterday for the first time with my kids.
My parents invited me, since they said they had been there before and know i love tacos/tortas/etc.
The kids and i loved it.

Kid-friendliness: They gave my kids lollipops after.“

“My experience with Upper West was fabulous. From making the reservation, changing the reservation and handling of an additional person last minute to our reservation for 12, was done with great ease. The food was delicious. The service was stupendous. It was a fun time had by all. I would certainly recommend it for a large gathering or to sit at the bar by yourself, and anything in between.“

“Variety wise Guisados has the most unique flavor profiles for tacos I have come by in long beach. The sampler is a great way to get your whistle wet and see which is your favorite. The tamales will give any abuela a run for her money. The customer service is great and you can taste the love and tradition of put into each bite ❤️“

“The best Mexican food in maywood .. great service ..got to try green wet burritos are 🔥“

“I never order carne asada at Taco spots but since there is only asada, pastor and chicken here it tried it. Iy was delicious... tasted like top tier carne. I'm not a huge fan of tortillas de harina but that definitely didn't matter because the beef was so tasty. The only thing I would make better are the salsas. Either way I'll be back soon to try the nachos.“

“So I live in Compton, only a few blocks from the birra spot. I'll be honest, I did not like birria de chivo but I came here for Father's Day because my dad who lives in L.A. wanted to try it. Long story short I had no clue what to order. Gentleman at the window was soo helpful and patient in helping me, the señoras are cooking in the truck so we knew it was going to be good. Anyway my dad loved it, and I tried it and I really enjoyed it. Just be careful with parking the lot they are by was full and and I parked on a side street and I totally missed the sign and got a big fat ticket. ??“

“Happy“

“some of the best tacos in town 😋🤍“

“fire tacos & other dishes amazing !!! 👏 🤩 😋 🙌 🔥“

“definitivamente muy sabrosos los tacos los mire en tic toc y dije que cuando fuera a las angeles iría con mi familia a probarlos y la verdad quedamos fascinados,,,no entiendo como muchas loncheras o restaurantes venden Tacos de cabeza muy caros pero además de caros malicimos,,,la verdad se los recomiendo,,,,o y lleguen temprano porque se acaban muy rápido.“

“pasamos de pasadita guiados por los reviews y nos sorprendió los mejores tacos de birria qué hemos comido. recomendamos al 100 por 100“

“I hope this place is in business forever. I’ve been coming here since I was a kid. When I come visit my parents this is the only place I absolutely have to visit. The cockteles are
filled with seafood and done just right. I like that you can customize it with ketchup (why?!) and salsa (they have two types on the table: huichol and tapatio. Enough said!). There’s usually two older ladies in the back cooking. I wish they were my tias.“

“Was driving home when I came across this place. It was empty which is good to me lol. I ordered some tacos Al vapor and some quesa tacos. They were really good . I loved how they’re not stingy with their meat . They added a good amount of meat to the tacos .oh and your order comes with a small cup with consomé …. I’m not a fan of Mexican horchata but this one was actually really pretty good. The lady taking our order was really nice and very attentive which is a plus to me. Definitely will be coming here again . FYI , they sale the whole beef head …“

“Good service and courteous. Reasonable prices“

“Buena comida, lugar agradable y familiar se lo recomiendo al 💯 %“

“My family is from Tijuana and I frequent often. This is as authentic as it gets. Best corn tortillas around by far. Best carne asada around. I would put this up there with some of the best tacos in LA. It holds its own. Make sure you get a carne asada queso taco with everything when you’re here.“

“This place is far beyond average. The chicken burrito was amazing. Lots of flavor and still can remember it. The place inside is sooo cool. The Fernando Valenzuela Bobble Head is great to see. We will be back. That chicken is legit !!!!

Parking: Actually a lot of spots.“

“Taquearte is very popular. They are known for their chilaquiles.

We ordered the chilaquiles with chorizo & egg. The chips stayed crisp in the tangy spicy salsa. They had a nice variety of side salsas as well.

Most people don't complain about cheese. When it came out though, it looked like cottage cheese, which cooled off the chilaquilas more than it should have. It is Mexican cheese, though.

Overall, the meal was good. I would just melt the cheese a little bit more or put less of it on.

There is normally a line, and when we left, we saw it starting to form.“

“I visit Long Beach California every summer and was recommended this location by a local.

Their 10 dollar family meal is amazing value. It comes with 3 tacos, beans, and rice. I got the al pastor as it was on the wheel. They were amazing! Slightly charred, seasoned perfectly, and a good portion. You make your order, they give you your food, and you garnish with whatever you like.

Obviously, it's 5 stars in my book.

Stop by, grab a bite to eat, and talk to some nice people.

Give it a try!“

“Local Taqueria worth the stop.“

“Isidra provided outstanding customer service from the moment we walked in. It was our first time visiting, and she truly made us feel welcomed by taking the time to greet us warmly and walk us through the menu with patience and care. The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting and paired perfectly with the exceptional hospitality, creating a wonderful overall experience. We ordered the combo with a shrimp taco and a fish taco, served with rice and beans, and everything was absolutely delicious and well prepared. The agua de sandía was incredibly refreshing and full of flavor. From the food to the service, everything exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be returning and recommending this place to others.“

“The TJ Barria Tacos are D'lish! I love the authentic flair, every bite is packed with flavor! You just can't go wrong with any item. People you gotta try this place. And their Miches fantastic! Yumm'O ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Came on a Monday at noon and all seating was taken up along with there being a line. Love to see it. No old ingredients sitting around when you're cranking out food at that rate.

Eat here if you like Mexican food. I pray it never ever changes. This places energy, environment, patrons, employees and most importantly the food are all just amazing. It reminds me of the best part of every Mex spot I ate at in LA county growing up in the 90s. It's straight forward honest eats, large portions and extremely flavorful. And I hope it lasts forever!“

“Just had Taco Bill's at New Trail Brewing company. AWESOME!!! Not your momma's taco and the nachos were great! Highly recommend🙂“

“the food looks and tastes authentic. They have a hand-made tortilla option. I recommend "una de surtido a mano" trust fam“

“If you need quick Mexican food, this is a great spot.

I got the sampler to go, and it was really tasty—well cooked with good flavors. Ordering was fast, perfect if you’re in a hurry.

I’d definitely come back to try more from the menu.“

“Some of the best tacos and special treats in east LA. There asada nachos and burritos smack. The salsa here the one of the reasons why this place is amazing it’s nice and spicy as it’s suppose to be.

Thank you Jason for always keeping the salsa nice and spicy 1# reason I come here is for the amazing salsa“

“Hands down, the best tacos around! The homemade tortillas are incredible. If you're plant-based, there are plenty of options to choose from — you'll love the variety of dishes on the menu. The salsas are fiery but so tasty that you can't stop eating, even though your mouth’s on fire. Honestly, these are the best tacos in all of Wilmington!“

“Best Mexican food in Long Beach. by far. this place is amazing 👏🏿“

“Absolutely humbled by this amazing place! The tacos , along with the rice and beans. And that pepper! Not too spicy but just the right amount of kick to eat with each bite of the tacos. My oh my….all for under $10! Please never stop ? I will always remember this moment in time.

“unos tacos muy buenos tenía días de ir a probar esos ricos tacos y justo haora fui y muy buenos muy bien atendidos ..con una rapidez para servirle a la gente gracias ((tacos don cuco ..))“

“I absolutely love this place and even though I’ve moved farther away, I still make the drive because it’s totally worth it. The grilled chicken is always my go-to — it has this unique sauce that I’ve never found anywhere else. The rice is always on point, and the beans? So good. The tortillas taste homemade, and it’s clear they put a lot of care into their food. The aguas are delicious, with melon being my personal favorite. I’ve tried a few other dishes, and they’ve all been great. Plus, the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Definitely a spot that keeps me coming back!“
