50 Best Taco Restaurants near Signal Hill

“The fish tacos are so good and the employes are nice“

“I recommend the Signal Hill Restaurant, but keep an eye on your time to get your order. Make sure they get it ready. Wow, worst time ever here. I ordered and kept waiting for my order..... Never called my number. I went up to the counter and asked, the manager looked at his screen and looked confused. I held out the receipt, he thought it was too close to him and got mad. THEY NEVER HAD MY ORDER IN THEIR SYSTEM. (or lost it) NOT the best experience here. Horrible service here today. I did stick my arm out straight and maybe it was too close to his face, but he looked confused and couldn't find my order on his display. There was NEVER any mention being sorry or "I can't seem to find your order".“

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

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

“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.“

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

“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 ❤️“

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

“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. ??“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“buena comida y muy amiable la persona que nos atendio“

“Local Taqueria worth the stop.“

“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!“

“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 ☆☆☆☆☆“

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

“Muy sabrosos los tacos,100% recomendados!“

“Food was good, definitely going back.“

“Best tacos in North Torrance. Nice family owned restaurant. I ordered two chicken and two al pastor tacos. I like how there was a single tortilla and not doubled up. The chicken meat was juicy and flavorful. Al pastor was very good too. I’ll be going back!“

“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!“

“My new favorite place the jalapeño poppers are so yummy. I will definitely return very soon 😘“

“Lucky to arrive and no crowd. Seated right away and waitress provide drinks. Had many recommendations of plates to try. Went with the three ceviches … delicious. We order the aguachiles and molcajete as well. Need to go try, won’t be disappointed.Service is excellent, variety of Mexican food and seafood.“

“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!“

“So delicious! Many selections for all palettes!“

“Only stand I go to, best pastor tacos, can’t be beat“

“Every time I drove by this spot, there was always a line, especially on weekends. I had to try their birria quesatacos, and wow, everything was 🤤😋 I almost had to stop myself from devouring it all just to snap a photo. They didn’t hold back on the meat at all. Next time, I’m definitely ordering more!“

“Amazing asada fries! The burritos had a bit too much rice but complimented the flavor of the tomatoes onions and carne! I still have to try their sopes but will definitely return and recommend this place for asada fries! The horchata is BOMB.com too!“

“My childhood place to eat with my family. I stopped coming after a while since the food quality went down a lot and the tortillas where disgustingly dry however I recently came back after like 6 or so years along with my boyfriend. We were both surprised how good the food was! Even came back a second time and now I'll be coming back more often.“

“Delicioso, es como estar en Sinaloa“

“This is my to-go taco truck, and their burritos are absolutely the best I’ve ever had. The staff is always so friendly every time I visit, which makes the experience even better. I still can’t believe there’s such an amazing taco spot right here in Gardena. The place is spotless, and the food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and you can really taste the care they put into every order. If you’re in the area, this is a must-try—you’ll want to come back again and again.“

“never had the tacos ... but the menudo is fire.... here.“

“Muy buena birria de chivo con su rico consomé y sus deliciosas tortillas recién hechas a mano misma calidad donde quiera que vallas ya sea en la lonchera o en cualquiera de sus instalaciones es el mismo sabor calidad y servicio“

“The best meat anywhere! Can’t wait to see them open in Downey!!!“

“So so delicious 😋 I highly recommend this place“

“Delicioso y el trato muy bueno ☺️☺️“

“Came here on Christmas Eve! It was empty, which was perfect because it was raining a lot and parking is a little hard to find!

Overall experience was a 10/10!
Ordered the chicken & waffles. Rate: 10/10.
The chicken was perfectly cooked & the flavor in the batter was superb!

Ordered their BREEZY'S MORNING GLOW with Oat Milk (Hot).
Rate: 9/10, super good & not super sweet! Just how I like it!

Enjoyed the place a lot, and the people working there were super friendly & kind! We were able to do our vision boards here for 2026 which was nice of them to let us do ! See myself coming back here in the future for sure!“

“I visit this outstanding restaurant once a month because I enjoy the ambiance that is characterizes this restaurant. The staff is awfuly helpful and qualified. The service is deeply efficient. Most important, the food you get is outstanding. I have been there more than once and I was always joyful. The expense is honest. I highly suggest this place to to everybody.“

“Recommended.Tortillas made to order, I ordered pastor, asada and suadero; the very good shepherd; The suadero chopped into trosos, just as you can feel its texture and the flavor it has; The roast did not leave me so satisfied but I take into account that they were about to pick. If we talk about the sauces, I really liked the red one, it had flavor and wasn't just spicy.“

“Muy buena bienvenida de Liz. Excelente atención, y la comida es buena. 100% recomendado❤️“

“Amazing food, tacos al pastor are definitely the best that we have tried in the US. True “trompo” pastor. Everything was great but the plain al pastor taco directly from the trompo was amazing! I would really suggest them to use the same trompo meat for all the other things like quesadillas.“

“?? MÉXICO (via Eat the World Los Angeles) - No matter which of the two orders (bistec/cecina) you choose, your tacos look very simple when they are handed to you, a tortilla with one thin cut of meat on it. It is up to you to dress it up as desired, and they have all the options you could ever want. What seems like a simple operation starts to get much more complex the more you look as three or four homemade salsas are around, a pot of black beans is available for customers as well as some grilled onions in addition to the diced cebolla y cilantro.“

“Son los tacos más buenos q e probado en Los Ángeles se los recomiendo“

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