I normally like to stick to bathroom reviews, but there wasn't a bathroom here and I can't let this go. I went in because they had a walk up ordering without a server restaurant situation; unlike almost everywhere on 2nd street. I ordered a federale (carnitas) taco, chips & salsa and a drink. I'll start with the drink since that came first. How are you out of the cheapest part of running a restaurant, the drinks? Signs all over for "out of", then Mr. Pibb should have had the label, I settled for Coke, ok fine. I got my food...The carnitas was good, but when I got to the tomato sauce, I mean salsa, it made me realize that my taco did indeed have almost no cilantro and barely any onion. The big deal is, that cilantro and onion was specifically listed on the menu for just about all the tacos, then they are almost nonexistent? I grocery shop, cilantro and onion are very low cost. The "salsa" clearly was lacking it. I think I saw a few specs of green; then overwhhelming tomato sauce flavor, I just couldn't. I threw it out. I took a picture for everyone to show I'm not exaggerating. I had to come here to review because there is so much potential here and yet they failed for the cheapest reasons (drinks, cilantro, onion and I assume garlic). As I sat there alone, I liked the music, decor, the guy behind the counter and yet, hated my food. Such a bummer.

Food is good. For some reason not as tasty as the Newport location. Cool spot and atmosphere. Service was basic.VERY EXPENSIVE! Two tacos and cheese nachos and a sprite cost $42 before a tip.Honestly, not worth it.

Do not order a burrito in Tacos Restaurant! I ordered Tri-tip burrito. Meat was great, but rice and beans were bad. So, if you'll order Tacos you'll love it.

We ordered 2 tacos, chips and salsa, guac, queso, and a bean and cheese burrito. The tacos were nothing to write home about. Salsa was ok. Guac was not fresh and over indexed on mushy tomatoes. Also their chubby sauce is a strange sweet salsa.The queso was a ramekin of SHREDDED CHEESE. How does one eat that with chips??? We asked the young person at the counter if maybe that was incorrect and they said that they were new and weren't sure if it was right.The bean and cheese burrito and chips were really good but not enough to salvage a lunch of over $30.
Would have been 5 stars but I discovered my order was incorrect.Stopped by for a quick burrito, ordered the surf and turf.Guy at the counter was cool, gave me his opinion when I asked what I should get, place was clean and well kept.I was handed my burrito in a to-go bag and went on my way.First bite was shrimp, no big deal, but I was WAITING for that first bite of steak….unfortunately it never came.Whole burrito was eaten, not a slice of steak. My surf and turf was all surf.Absolutely delicious burrito but unfortunately just not what I ordered.3/5 stars would probably go again.

STOP reading the reviews and just go. OMG the food here is so good and I always wish I had room in my stomach for more. We first tried Sanchos in Newport Beach and tell eveyone about it. I was so happy to find one in Long Beach when I was visitng.

Their fake fish tacos were great, but their fake shrimp carnal tacos were even better!! My friends in the great band Cosmic Kitten took me to this place due to its historical significance, and I was not disappointed!
Vegetarian options: I actually got the Skrimps Carnal and Pounder Flounder which are vegan, but I don't see them listed up there.
First timer! Was excited but quickly disappointed. Tried 3 tacos..Tritip, Carnitas, fish. Tritium was tough n barely warm. Carnitas had no flavor n tasted steamed only, fish was ok but no flavor. Salsas are sweet. Red one was all tomato sauce. Tortillas are fried soft n tear very easily. Props to the register boy for his awesome customer service
The prices for great food are wonderful!
