The chicken was pretty solid too, while the chorizo wasn't my bf's favorite but I enjoyed it. There was a decent amount of seating when we went and our food came out fast, which was nice. The only downside is parking. Downtown LB parking is always hit or miss. Overall, a really good taco spot with flavorful food and quick service. I'd definitely come back for the carne asada.

The first one I've been to was out in LA next to dodgers stadium but the fact that this one is right here in west side of Long Beach makes the difference. Al pastor on the spit and carne asada perfectly marinated. Can't beat it. If you're in the area and looking for some quality and quantity tacos the search is over come to Angel's Tijuana Tacos

It was so much food, I literally had three separate meals out of it. I also got the Al Pastor burrito to try and that was also just stellar. They have multiple locations across the LA/OC area so follow them on Instagram to see if they're outside and if they have any special deals going on for the day!

The tostada de carne asada was also very fulfilling--lots of meat and a good portion for the price. Everything was reasonably priced. Thank you, Yelpers, for suggesting this taco spot! I'm glad I gave it a try. Downside: There's no assigned parking, so finding a spot can be a little challenging. Also, cash only, so come prepared! Overall, a good spot for a satisfying and reasonably priced taco meal.

I also really enjoyed the watermelon agua fresa. It wasn't too sweet, rather just right. Location is easy to get to and we enjoyed sitting outside. Parking is limited. Staff is friendly.

About two years ago, I regularly visited this place every Friday and occasionally on Saturdays,…read moredespite the roughly 20-mile drive from my home. At the time, I enjoyed the food and considered the drive worthwhile. However, after the restaurant changed cooks, I noticed a decline in the overall quality and stopped returning. Today, I decided to give it another try and stopped by for a small bite. I ordered the vampiro, but unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. The meat lacked noticeable seasoning or flavor, which was particularly disappointing given the restaurant's claim of cooking with mesquite coals. The tortilla topping also appeared to be more like a pre-made tostada than a tortilla toasted over an open flame. Traditionally, I would expect a lightly charred tortilla, which adds flavor and texture to the dish. Based on this visit, the quality has not returned to what I remember from two years ago. I was disappointed with the food and do not plan to come back to this location or any other for that matter.

Finally tried this place out! We had the papas asada and it was great! It wasn't dry. Lots of meat…read moreand right amount of cheese. Downside is just parking around the neighborhoods then you have to walk over. But hey I think it's worth the small walk and think of it as exercise before you dig into your awesome meal.

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.

It was rude to take the other person in line order before mine I was waiting awkwardly. Ordered two tacos de asada and pollo. The asada was good the pollo okay. Some part were very chewy.

El Sauz is THE late-night munchies spot!…read more I've been coming here for years, and one of the things I love most is that they're open late. I've ordered food here as late as 2:30 AM! They have a sit-down restaurant, a karaoke room, and even a walk-up window outside if you're just looking to grab something quickly. They're known for their tacos and their spicy habanero salsa, which definitely is spicy, be warned. LOL If you're dining inside, the chips and salsa are top-tier. Sooooo good and addicting! My personal favorite is the shrimp quesadillas. They're tiny, but mighty when it comes to flavor! I also like ordering their oysters. So far, they've always been clean, fresh, and hit the spot. They also have Micheladas, both the traditional version made with alcohol and a non-alcoholic version made with mineral water. Both are really good, and I highly recommend giving them a try! And for dessert, the rice pudding is served cold, and it's honestly one of the best I've had. Everyone I've brought here has been happy with their food and their choices, which says a lot because I've brought many friends and family here. As far as parking goes, you can usually find street parking, there's a parking lot, and there's also parking behind the restaurant. I will say the neighborhood is a little sketchy, but if you're local, it's really not a big deal. If you're coming from outside the city and aren't familiar with the area, I'd recommend just dining inside. There's a lot of homeless and liquor store activities across the street. It's usually not a big deal, but again if you're not used to it, you may freak out. Overall, El Sauz is one of my go-to spots for the late-night munchies, post concert, club, bar etc.

Friday evening review:…read more Sat outside since we had my puppy with me, the waiter was kind immediately and even told us which table was a little rocky. Service overall was good-not spectacular but good. Things seemed to take a while to come out and it took a while to get the bill but really no big deal. Food was spectacular though. Super high quality. I loved my seafood chile rellano, they did not go cheap whatsoever on the filling and it was enough to eat the next day as well. My husband got the birria tacos (not pictured) and they were also really good but a little steep for not coming with rice and beans. Ceviche was fresh as well as guac but guac did not come with the chicharron like mentioned in the description. Enchiladas were good too, loved the heat of the sauce. We will be returning if back in the area soon!
