    Very nice , very clean, great customer service. I forgot to take a picture of my food, but we got tacos, regular asada and birria asada with cheese, a veggie burrito and piña frescas. We were also given fresh chips and salsa, two types of salsa. We were offered a second round of chips but when they came out they were burnt. The waitress did offer to make new ones though, but we declined. I really loved how clean and nicely setup they were the most, but I would still also recommend to give their food a try!

    I live in the neighborhood and was walking by and saw a sign for Chilaquiles on the window and had to give it a shot. Most important thing first, food was great. The chips were perfectly sauced, my carnitas were as flavorful as I'd expect them to be. Great dish. Even more importantly though, the customer service is phenomenal. The girl Mona who was working the front was very welcoming and obviously loves her job. She was attentive without being too much, just fantastic. It's a small but adorable place. They have a cute Instagramable wall for pics for ppl who do that sort of thing. It was nice having a leisurely Sunday breakfast at a cute little spot in my neighborhood. I'm definitely going to coming back and trying more options. Hmm....birria chilaquiles?

    Had the Chilaquiles  took the kiddos after church  My daughters had pancakes and another had fijtas.

    The birria Plate
    Jessica O.

    I got the Birria (Goat) plate it was delicious and I tried both the salsas they were delicious as well. They serve you a lot & the price is so reasonable. Mona my server was such a sweetheart. I will definitely be coming back soon.

    Sooo goood and the service is excellent!!!

    Food was delicious.. services excellent!! ..unlimited salsa and chips and the best part of it too is the Agua Fresca.. We got the pineapple and it's free refill..

    Birria lunch combo #5

    This place is a 10/10, clean environment, friendly hospitable service , quick on getting the food out, I got the lunch combo #5 of 3 quesa birria tacos , it was reasonably priced with great portions even consomé, and chips/salsa while you wait . Salsas tasted fresh , will be back again !

    Enchiladas Verdes

    Food was fairly priced especially for the portion you get. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. The vibe gives off hole in the wall Mexican restaurant and the food definitely drives it home. I will probably be coming here more often due to the nice vibe, excellent service and tasty food.

    Sonoratown continues to be one of my favorite places for tacos. We are so lucky to have it in Long…read moreBeach. They're known for their handmade flour tortillas that have an amazing bite to them. They were just awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand award this week for their excellent, affordable food. One thing that I appreciate about their tacos is that their meats have varied textures. The costilla (rib meat) is a crowd pleaser as you get the taste of the grill/charcoal. They have tripe that is crispy with corn nut texture. Cabeza (face meat) has a stewed texture. Unlike most places in LB, there is two hours free parking conveniently located across the street at the Harvey Milk Community Lot. This is easily one of the best options for tacos in Long Beach and, if you haven't had it yet, then you really should! This is the type of place that we need to support!

We ordered caramelos with the poblanos inside, as well as their horchata. Tortillas are some of the best I've had. Super soft and flavorful from the grill. The fillings and salsa were good too, but it was really wet, and the bean ratio especially compared to the meat, was a little off. Always am going to want more meat. Horchata was unique since it was coconut based. Overall solid spot with patient staff. Tacos La Rueda is still better, but will be back when in Long Beach.

    For a chain taco place the tortillas taste like they made them in the back. I tried the 6 mini taco…read moresampler and substituted the mole taco for the Calabacitas vegetarian taco. They were all delicious and they give you the option to sub out anything but the starred items which are fish and shrimp and vegan tacos. They have two vegan options and 6 vegetarian options. Also good for people with allergies and now they serve beer. I had heard they were really good and they did not disappoint. Have to come back and try the breakfast options they sound great. They've got a couple burritos on the menu as well to try. Friendly and helpful guidance from the staff and nice little indoor and outdoor dining area.

When I worked in Boyle heights, it was our go to place…read morefor lunch so I was pleasantly surprised to find a new guisados in Long Beach, so close to home. The food is always so good! My go to is the sampler to get a little of everything. The cochinita pibil is one of my all time favorites and the mole poblano. Absolutely delicious!! The service here is good. We didn't necessarily have a great experience though. They messed up our order and we never got it fixed. We just happened to be there when there was a big party there too and it seemed like staff was a bit flustered. I told the workers about our order and they just forgot. We waited for over 15 min and when I went up to ask again, they realized they had forgotten about us and hadn't made our correct order so we decided to leave it and just go. Regardless of that hiccup, the staff were very friendly and they were apologetic about the situation. I would come back for sure and give it another try. The Boyle heights location has always been on top of it and I've never experienced a bad visit so I wouldn't say this location is bad off of one visit. The space is small and has inside and outside seating. We tried to eat outside but that bigger party took up a lot of the seats out there. They have a beautiful mural inside too and we luckily got a table. Overall, guisados is a must and I'm happy there's a location closer to me now.

I realized that this pop-up was actually just a street away from where I live, which made the decision even easier. Upon arriving, I encountered a bit of a wait--there were at least 15 folks ahead of me in line, eagerly anticipating their delicious orders. After standing in line for about 10 minutes, I could sense excitement building in the air as the line inched forward. As I observed the scene, I couldn't help but feel the buzz of anticipation surrounding me.. The flavors of sweet marinated pork and fresh pineapple have a way of dancing on your palate. I plan to capture a few photos to share once I'm a little closer to the front of the line. Got a taco dinner $10 rice,beans and 3 tacos and Agua fresca horchata So here's the review I got three tacos Al pastor 2/5 no flavor .. it was missing more citrus and seasoning,even the piña bites where bland Carne Asada 2/5 it taste like reheated leftovers in which he poured all the meat on the plancha Pollo 4/5 had seasoning Rice 4/5 flavorful Beans 2/5 no flavor ,pinto beans Horchata 3/5 overly sweet Overall they hype is not what you think. Tacos are affordable,Agua frescas $5 Will I be back probably not.

There are way better spots for the same price (or less). Service was fine, but overall I left feeling underwhelmed and wouldn't come back.

The food itself was actually decent and flavorful, so I'll give credit where it's due. However, the service was extremely disappointing. The employee who took our order had a very negative and dismissive attitude toward us from the start. It made the entire interaction uncomfortable and honestly took away from what could have been a good dining experience. I'm not sure what the reason for the attitude was, but as a Black couple we couldn't help but feel unwelcome based on how we were treated. Customer service matters just as much as the food, and no one should feel uncomfortable when spending their money at a business. Because of the way we were treated, we won't be returning. Hopefully management takes feedback like this seriously and works on improving the customer service experience for everyone.
