Taco Restaurants near East Compton

“Delicious …. Great food truck authenticity“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 ❤️“

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

“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.“

“Consistently delicious. Best fish tacos ever, crispy but soft inside, and so well served! I can eat the fish tacos all day, but if you ever crave something else- the tacos dorados are also delicious- beans, requeson or potato- all so good! The ceviche has also become a go-to part of my order. Lastly, the service is always top tier- everyone is so nice and incredibly helpful!“

“Delicioso, es como estar en Sinaloa“

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

“These tacos hit the spot and took me back to having authentic tacos at any small town in Mexico! The sauce was spicy as it should and the onion cured with serranos was perfect for eating alone like a taco. We had asada, buche and chorizo ​​and it didn't disappoint. Now the queso birria tacos and that juicy al pastor were another level. To lick your fingers.“

“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“

“Happy“

“just had the big poppa taco & it was VERY delicious! Will definitely be back!“

“Tiny drive-thru joint with surprisingly great tacos and burritos. The carne asada is flavorful and juicy every time. Super quick service and friendly people. I stop by here instead of Taco Bell or Del Taco — it’s way better. Great prices and solid late-night option. Salsa has a good kick too“

“Fish and chips are awesome. Shrimp skewer is delicious. Good value for the price.“

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

“Esta muy buena la comida Recomendado al 💯👌🏽😋“

“Great food! Friendly service!“

“This place is great and something I've been wanting to try for awhile and glad I didn't finally.

I had their barbacoa tacos guisados which was very tender and with cheese added. Their salsa bar added a lot to flavor to it and the barbacoa was very tender. Their chikali taco comes with beans and guacamole and I got it with carne asada. The asada was charred very well and seasoned very well also. The beans went well with it and were not soggy. The staff was very nice and helpful in describing what was available, popular, recommended and what they thought it should have.

There's some seating next to their shop which is convenient. Their agua frescas was very good also according to my friend. It was his favorite place so far when I took him the multiple taco joints in east LA.

I'd come back here to try their breakfast/chorizo items“

“Food was good, definitely going back.“

“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 ☆☆☆☆☆“

“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!“

“This place is amazing, I got the mulita with chorizo and asada and it was amazing. They make their tortillas to order and the meat is seasoned to perfection. The staff are super friendly and their prices are very reasonable. Overall I would 100% recommend.“

“So delicious! Many selections for all palettes!“

“By far and beyond the best food I've had in my life. I can say without a shadow of a doubt, I trust anything that comes off of their grill. Filling, flavorful, creative. Its the type of food that make you feel a warm glow from inside. The owners are kind and funny, they genuinely care about their customers. Everything is homemade and worth stopping by 3 times a week. I cannot say enough good things. 6 stars.“

“The hype is real mi gente! Some of the best tacos out there! If not the best. Very much enjoyed their meat in the tacos. We purchased all the meats. They were all very good! This is rare for a taco shop. All the protein was very well cooked and not dry. Lots of flavor. Will definitely be back soon“

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

“The Baja Fish Taco and Baja shrimp tacos were absolutely delicious. I can say that fish and shrimp tacos are not my favorite, but these are exceptional! I would absolutely recommend visiting this family owned restaurant. I also had the aguachilies, which were delicious as well. Looking forward togoing back. If you are looking for amazing food at reasonable prices, this is the spot.“

“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.“

“Muy sabrosos los tacos,100% recomendados!“

“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.“

“OMG! WOW! Makes me wanna cry! Reminds me of my mami and nana's Cocina! AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! 100% BETTER than Chipotle! Or Taco Bell! I regret not trying it out sooner! Been working next door for 8 months and never looked appetizing on the outside! Just goes to show that looks can be completely deceiving! I'm DEFINITELY returning with my whole crew!“

“Hi, I love this spot and have come like 5 times over the last couple of weeks. They have not been on alameda and king, does anyone know if they closed or are at a different spot ? Please reply if you have number of business or know anything“

“Not only is the food DELICIOUS! The customer service is awesome. If you have never been there you can just start at the top of the menu and work your way down. I have and I have not been disappointed at all. Thanks Chinitos Tacos for the delicious spin on my favorite food, TACOS!“

“Small little shack for your mariscos needs.
Shrimp burrito are mid. Every bite is either just beans., or rice or veggies and some shrimp. Not the best place for burritos.
Fish tacos were much better. But portions were small and a ton of coleslaw.“
