“This is a great example of how LA street mexican food culture is like.

This place has one of the best pastor tacos in LA. Their meats are well seasoned and are not dry. Their salsas have great flavor and heat.

The lines can be long but it is worth the wait. You just can't beat this place when it comes to taste, quality, and price.“

“Been there many times and it is awesome! Friendly, efficient staff, delicious food, and great bartenders! The owner is also very warm and welcoming. It is such a great Redondo Beach eatery, highly recommended 👌“

“Excellent black mole! Everything is freshly made. Wait staff is very helpful and kind. Cute outdoor seating area.“

“I decided to visit this place because the photos of the handmade tortillas caught my attention, and I’m so glad I did. The food was excellent! I’m visiting LA and ended up coming here for breakfast three mornings in a row. I tried several different items from the breakfast menu, and every single one was delicious. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. I’ll definitely be back on my next trip to Los Angeles!“

“Great food and super chill vibe. We were a party of 6 at 4 pm on a Sunday, it was nearly empty at that time and they accommodated us right away. One of us had the steak fajitas and said they were amazing! The chicken and shrimp tacos are great, vegetable taco and chicken burrito were okay. The guac was super good too but the salsa was super spicy. Large portions and fast and friendly service! We sat inside but the outside area looked cute too.

Will definitely come back!!! 🌮🌮🌮“

“The best Mexican food in LA County!“

“Homemade tortillas are one of life’s greatest inventions, and Guisados proves it. Everything tastes even better wrapped in one.

I’ve been back many times for the tacos and quesadillas, and the flavorful salsas tie everything together perfectly. The service is always friendly, it’s the kind of place that keeps pulling me back whenever I’m craving tacos.

Another bonus: there’s both a parking lot and street parking, which makes the whole experience even better.“

“By LA taco standards, I didn't find this place special at all.

So weird that there are no cheese options for the tacos. Would be a game-changer if you could have melted cheese like Tacos Los Cholos.

Quesadilla con Chorizo looks better than it tastes.

Taco sampler platter, the chicken ones are the best.

The Jamaica agua fresca is incredible and my favorite thing here.

Playing really good reggaeton music (e.g., Peso Pluma).“

“La comida está excelente deliciosa ! Y de verdad tiene un sazón mexicano,real.muy buen servicio los cosineros súper rápidos y muy amables!😃Lo recomiendo:)“

“This is a little place in a busy area with much more expensive options. The cost was reasonably, the food tasty and the service was very good. Nice little restroom 'way in the back' through the kitchen. Good job folks!

“Great food and drinks 🍹 really good 👍🏾“

“Due to their newly extended hours, open until 3am on certain nights (just what LA needs more of ), I recently discovered this absolute gem. Although I ordered to go, I did not call ahead, so the few minutes it took to prepare the food afforded me a chance to take in the authentic family owned vibe, the super cool and lively latin beats, the welcoming and hospitable Roberto who took my order and felt like a new friend by the time I left. The chicken tamal verde was heavenly, moist and easily the best I have EVER had. The birria wet burrito with red sauce was equally a perfect 10. I went back the very next night and got that verde tamal again, and a side of the verde tomatillo sauce to use at home. The potato empanada, and birria empanadas were fantastic. I can't wait to go again and try the many wonderful dishes on their menu, as I feel certain it's all going to be great. Having small family owned business with a truly great vibe and amazing food is what makes LA a great town. A gift to our community. Thank you Tamales Veracruz MRV !!“

“good serving… nice staffs“

“The service is friendly and fast and delightful. My daughter loves their salsa for chips …it’s the only salsa she likes. Service is so sincere and attentive. It’s our first time here and it’s super cozy and the food is absolutely the best Mexican I have had. There are lights on the ceiling and it’s super Duper beautiful.“

“First off, Terrific Customer Service at the Long Beach, CA location! The manager is amazing. So helpful with recommendations when asked, provides great detail, and is so enthusiastic about the incredible menu. Tocaya at 2nd & PCH has lovely, fresh, bright, clean food. The menu is unique and flexible. You get to choose the protein you want, the cheese you want, whether or not you want your dish to be vegan. So many options and super tasty food! My friend really enjoyed the VEGAN Asada & VEGAN Tinga tacos. I loved my Taco Salad with gluten-free, battered & fried mahi-mahi (that was so, so scrumptious) with Queso Fresco. I swapped and got the cilantro lime dressing (instead of the roasted poblano dressing) and my bowl of goodies was delicious. We shared and relished the Street Corn and the (VEGAN) Queso & Chips. We were both shocked to find the Queso was VEGAN; it’s that good! We also tried the vegan Crema, just to check it out — SO yummy. AND the obviously homemade chips were mouthwatering. Tocaya has seasonal Sangria selections, beer, and other interesting drink options. They’ve got indoor and outdoor seating… and I recommend you head over soon!“

“tortas ahogadas, tortas de pierna tacos de barbacoa y por supuesto la atención“
