Not much to say here but just excellent tacos. I've tried a number of different ones and all are really great. My wife is a vegetarian and she just loves their veggie options. The tacos are on the smaller side so it does take 3-4 tacos for a meal (if no sides) but that is a good thing in that you get to taste all the different options! Will be back for sure - our fav taco place now. read more

I rarely eat breakfast out, but this past weekend I was walking by on a Saturday morning and thought a breakfast burrito might be the move. I stopped in to Guisados and ordered the Chuleta con Chile Verde - pork chop in chile verde with crema, diced tomatoes, onions, and jalapeño over scrambled eggs. My wife ordered the Mexicana - diced tomato, onions, and jalapeño scrambled with eggs and topped with salsa and queso amarillo. We took them to go since we were almost back to the car. By the time I got home, I was pretty hungry. When I opened the bag, I found what were essentially kid sized burritos. Even my wife immediately commented on how small they were. Definitely one of the smallest burritos I have ever had. The flavor was good, actually very good, and the sauce was solid. Unfortunately that was also portioned light, with the container only about half full. No chips with the burritos, and they were $10.50 each, which was higher than the listed online price. Bottom line, the taste delivers but the portion does not. Barely three stars read more

I love the Burbank location. The Long Beach location was good. So when I saw there was one near LAX I had to try it. Unfortunately it was not good. It was really early in the morning like 930am. So I expect food to be fresh. Non. The shrimp was. But the rest of it was lukewarm. The shrimp needs seasoning. Good sauce but not enough. Flavors are all there but when it's lukewarm and not hot. It is not good. The place also is not well cleaned. Tables were sticky. And restroom reeked of urine. It's 930am. How is it that bad already? read more

So happy I discovered this place!! It's close to home and work and the tacos are REALLY delicious!! I love that the tortillas aren't fried like their competition around the corner in Hermosa!! The different meats are tender and full of flavor for the tacos! People who work here are friendly and surprisingly, parking has not been an issue when I have driver over. read more

after enjoying the tacos the other day from a different location, we made the stop here a little closer to home. Never knew this location existed of all times we've passed by it. It's camouflage to the parking lot before the pier. Small parking lot and weird entry to it. The location wasn't as busy as the last so I was skeptical. We ordered pretty much the same thing, fish tacos and bistek en salsa Roja. They were good! I think we had a little more beans per taco and the tortillas were not as good. I mean still enjoyable. The customer service was great and the workers there were very attentive. We sat outside in the nice sun and overall I'd say it's still worth visiting. read more

I love guisados! They are consistent across their locations with the flavor and quality of items they serve. My only complaint would be that the aguas frescas are a bit too sweet, but the food is a 10/10. The cochinita pibil is a popular item and I usually recommend the sampler for new customers. This location is also great because it had parking even though it is pretty close to the beach ambience and service was fast and quality read more

I've enjoyed all the locations of Guisados that I've visited. They provide consistently fresh and yummy food, and of course their tacos are exceptional. They have several vegetarian options which is great for me! There is metered street parking and a pay lot nearby. Easily walk a few steps to enjoy the beach. read more

Amazing slow-cooked tacos. The breakfast burrito was not good and I would recommend sticking with the tacos. Try them all and figure out your favorite. read more

This place is wonderful and the tacos melt in your mouth. Everything was flavorful and greed inspiring, in a good way everything in moderation . The staff were helpful and patient. The restaurant is located at the entrance of the Hermosa Beach pier, so there's tons of metered parking. Just steps from the sandy Shores of the Pacific. This is a soo California. read more

This location is fun cause you are near the beach. Their food is absolutely delicious and always hits the spot. I always go for their Sampler and their ceviche tostada and Agua de melon it's not too sweet and refreshing. The Young girl at the front was very sweet and loved the vibe of the cooks I always like to see people who love their job. Their parking lot is very small maybe like 6 cars fit there but there is more parking across from the restaurant as well. In the mood for tacos with handmade tortillas and grab a cold beer come here! read more

Arrived at the restaurant around 7:15. The person taking orders must have been having a bad day because she wasn't friendly or hospitable. Took our order and the delivered food made up for the bad service. Salsa verde taco, fish taco, mushroom taco plus quesadilla and cheese tamale. The masa on the tamale was heavenly. Soft, moist and delicious. Tacos were a little spicy but so very tasty. Noticed that staff were taking in napkins from patio before 8 so we thought they were closing. The hours posted on the door said 9 was closing. I'll give the place another chance because the food was so good. read more

Came here for a quick bite and I was looking for something with shrimp. I ordered the aguas chiles and ohhhh myyyy were they good. The shrimp tasted so fresh and went great with the agua de limón.

I thought the tacos were fine. We're in LA so there's a taco spot every 15 feet lol. I've had better but these weren't awful. Came here bc I wanted to try the taco sampler and it was a fine enough experience. Of the 6 I would only need to eat 2 again (chicken mole poblano and pork cochinita pibil). The others were okay. I have no idea why anyone would ever order the chicharron. That was such an interesting texture I'd never need to eat again!! Haha But the staff was lovely, restaurant was very clean and they have a mini parking lot which is amazing for the area. Had a bite of my sisters shrimp taco and it was nice. Was sorely disappointed they don't sell chips. That's like selling burgers but no fries!! Overall not a place I'd seek out again but also wouldn't protest if someone wanted to go here. read more

We just loved this Hermosa Beach location of the very popular Guisados chain of taco-focused restaurants. They had a wide variety of tacos and tamales available and the servers were excellent at recommending which ones to try based on taste and spice level. The servers also brought out the food quickly. This place is the perfect compliment to a trip to Hermosa Beach, where beach culture reigns supreme. After a walk by the beach or some time in the ocean, these bites are exactly what I want. The restaurant has a small parking lot which quickly fills up when it's busy so you may want to be prepared to grab metered street parking in the area. read more

The taco sampler at Guidados is such a treat! Every bite is bursting with flavor, and the presentation is super cute. My top picks are definitely the mole and the tinga tacos--so tasty! And the melon agua fresca? Refreshing, light, and absolutely delicious. A must-try combo! ¡La selección de tacos de Guidados es una delicia! Cada bocado rebosa de sabor y la presentación es súper bonita. Mis favoritos son sin duda los tacos de mole y tinga: ¡riquísimos! ¿Y el agua fresca de melón? Refrescante, ligera y absolutamente deliciosa. ¡Una combinación que no te puedes perder! read more

An Open Letter to the Cashier Who Accidentally Became the Main Character of My Night Hi. Yes. You -- the cute cashier at Guisados. This is supposed to be a restaurant review, but destiny clearly had other plans because somehow YOU became the plot twist of my entire night. I think it was almost 9pm. I was circling the beach parking lots like a lost Victorian ghost, starving, stressed, and waiting for the ocean to fix my life. I had eaten nothing but a sad tuna sandwich that I'm convinced did more emotional harm than nutritional good. Then I saw your restaurant glowing in the night -- warm, golden, dramatic lighting like a spotlight saying: "This is your moment." So naturally, I BUSTED a U-turn so intense I'm amazed the universe didn't pause the scene and add slow-motion effects. I walk in. The steak aroma hits me like a cinematic slap. Juicy, rich, theatrical. Then I see you behind the counter with this calm, soft energy like you've tamed many hungry goblins before me. I tell you: "I have $11. I'm starving. I'm fragile. I need tacos before I faint." You didn't judge. You didn't flinch. You didn't call security. No. You asked if I wanted a drink and then casually delivered the line that may haunt me forever: "The horchata's on me." Sir. That is rom-com behavior. You can't just SAY things like that to someone on the brink. Then you applied your employee discount like some kind of culinary guardian angel, dropping my total to $7.92. I tip $2, because respect is respect. BUT THEN -- the universe, dramatic as always -- decides to sabotage the moment. My phone tap fails. The machine freezes. You ask if I have a physical card. So I sprint back to my car -- which currently looks like anxiety in vehicle form -- and start ripping through pockets, doors, seats, glove compartments, emotional wormholes. I find my wallet. NO card. I was just bout to start walking back, fully prepared to deliver the saddest apology of 2025 for wasting your time, stomach trembling, dignity hanging by a thread. And THIS is where you fully shifted the timeline: Before I even started walking back , YOU ran outside -- literally RAN -- holding the tacos and horchata like an offering from the heavens, saying: "Don't worry about it. Have a good night." Sir. You cannot chase a starving woman into a parking lot with free tacos and expect her to return to normal life afterwards. That's a core memory. That's a plot point. That is CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. I sat in my car under a streetlight and ate those tacos like I was in the final emotional montage of a drama film. They were perfect. You were unexpectedly charming. The whole night felt scripted. And here I am -- hours later -- writing a SECOND review because once wasn't enough to get this out of my system. Thank you. For the food. For the kindness. I will absolutely be back. With money. With friends. And with whatever composure I can gather before walking in again. Sincerely, A very dramatic, very grateful customer read more

If you've never had Guisado's before, I would recommend getting the sampler platter. If you're HUNGRY, you can probably eat the whole thing yourself or easily share it with one other taco lover if you're ordering other things. Their tacos have a distinct flavor that you won't find anywhere else. I've never been to this location before, but the flavors and the quality of their tacos were the same. Consistency is KEY. We did try their tamale which comes with a fried egg (YUM) on top and it was a bit on the dryer side. They keep their place very clean. They are also dog friendly. Well, the dogs we saw were small and in a stroller so not sure if it's BIG dog friendly. read more

Every time I go to Guisados is always a good experience. I've been going for years and tried this spot a couple of times. All their different locations taste the same, which I love. The tacos are just delicious, it's like trying the real traditional Mexican dishes in a freshly hand made tortilla. My fav are steak in salsa roja, chicharrón (it's spicy), cochinita pibil, carnitas en salsa verde. The horchata is also good even though it's on the sweet side, and there's an option for the cold brew horchata which is great! The service is always nice, and they're pet friendly at the patio which I love so you can go with your furry friends and can go to a walk at the beach afterwards! read more

I meant to take pictures but I inhaled my food so fast that I forgot. If God made tacos, these tacos are what he would have created. I got a steak taco, chicken taco, and an elote tamale. Normally, I have to cover tamales in salsa because they are so dry, not here. The tamale was so sweet and moist that it didn't need salsa. The steak taco with the avocado was freaking perfectly stewed and seasoned. I add a dab of habanero hot sauce just for heat, but it didn't need it. The chicken mole taco with a couple onions was consumed in two bites, just perfect. All the meats here are stewed and seasoned so perfectly that they dont need to add lots of toppings and you dont really need salsa. Also, the fresh corn tortillas. Me encanto. read more

I love the food at Guisados so much that I go out of my way to stop by a location if I'm near. From echo park to Boyle heights and Long Beach so I was excited when they opened something closer to me in the South Bay. Ive even put on friends to this purveyor of Mexican classics. But it's been 3+ times now that I've frequented this Hermosa beach location and 3+ times that I leave feeling cheated. Their tacos have more beans and sauce than any actual food. The portion of the actual guisado they serve is absolutely laughable. I don't know if the kitchen staff need retraining or if they like to feel like they're getting one over on the clientele. But I would stay away from this particular location unless you like eating puros tacos de frijol. read more

The tacos are so good it should be illegal! These tacos have no right to hijack my palate like this! I came in ordered 3 and literally swallowed them only to order 2 more!! The steak, pollo and pescado was off the chains. I had to try to the Nopales as well! Everything was excellent!! I also recommending their cafe horchata. Thank god for places like Guisados! They just get it!!! Great chill vibe and friendly kitchen staff too. Just amazing across the board! read more

Second time at Guisado's and it hit the spot on Taco Tuesday. I tried the 5 taco mini sampler of meat tacos (as opposed to the veggie option). My husband had a chicken tamale and a fish taco. My favorites out of the 5 were the chicken tinga, chicken mole, and the steak with green peppers/bacon. However all had good flavor. The Jamaica agua fresca was decent too, not super sweet. Guisados has a fast casual ambiance, very modern and clean inside. It does not have a traditional ambiance (if that's what you are looking for) but it is good for order at the counter and quick service. read more

The michelada was excellent - so much chamoy and tajin. We got sampler platters of 6 mini tacos each, and all were good, but the mushrooms and chorizo were superb. The aguachile was also very tasty, but so spicy that it was hard to eat. I love to stop at this place when I'm in town. read more

Review for aguas frescas only. I am a sucker for a good agua fresca, but only if it is freshly made. The stuff that comes out of the machines is ok but it's basically just sugar water. I think the aguas frescas here are freshly made. If not, they fooled me. They have a standard horchata one but also offered some different interesting ones, like a cold brew horchata and their take on an Arnold Palmer (Armando Palmero--half lemonade and half jamaica). The cold brew horchata is a regular horchata with cold brew coffee thrown in and it was delicious. The Armando Palmero was tart and refreshing. I loved it and could have drank endless cups of them. I would have loved to try their food but we already had ordered food elsewhere. This location is just a stone's throw from the Hermosa Beach boardwalk. read more

Delicious tacos & great location...but pricey Food: Ordered the tacos camarones & tacos pollo. The shrimp taco was incredible! I might have to say that it's the best I've ever had. The size of the shrimp was generous and very plump/juicy! The chicken taco had good flavor, but I wished there were some vegetables or additions to it, instead of just being the tortilla and chicken. *I'm usually not a fan of corn tortillas, but this place had amazing corn tortilla shells for the tacos. I could tell that they were fresh. Service: All 3 workers that I encountered were friendly. Atmosphere: Spacious inside and multiple tables. Good for small groups up to 6 people. It has a clean and somewhat quiet interior which was nice. Location: Great location. Walking distance to the beach. Street parking (that is pay by hour) *The only issue was that it was on the pricier side. Prices range from $4 - $5 for a single taco which I thought was a bit too pricey. I wasn't mad because the tacos were very good. Maybe it Is inflation, but almost $5 for a single taco seemed a bit too expensive (in my opinion) Nonetheless, if you're in the area, I highly recommend coming to this place. Authentic tacos and a great location. If you're seeking high quality tacos with ample options, this is the place for you! read more

Back here again! Always a fast and easy place to get freshly made street tacos, ceviche and tamales. My favorite is the mole poblano, their chicken and sauce is perfect for me and very flavorful. Hubby's favorite is the conchita pibil (slow roasted shredded pork) and ceviche. Kids favorites is their fresh tortillas and their elote (sweet corn) tamales. They can even throw an egg on it if you want. Staff is always friendly and food is served nice and hot quickly. read more

I was alerted to this restaurant by my girlfriend who claimed that they had really good tacos. She lives near East LA and had talked about this place before. We were surprised that there was a location in my beloved South Bay. She was not wrong. I was very impressed by the flavor of the tacos that we ordered. They hand press the tortillas after you put in the order so they are super fresh. They are definitely worth coming back to, we also ordered the ceviche and it was yummy! Even after my girlfriend dropped a packet of Tapatio on my brand new white Sambas. leaving a red splatter all over them I could not be mad because these tacos were just that good!! read more

I got the taco sampler which came with an assortment of 6 mini tacos. My favorite was the steak picado! I really liked how much flavor the meats had very juicy, although some a bit spicy for me.

The family and I had one last meal on our trip to Hermosa Beach and we went on a search for authentic tamales . Living in Boston we are starved for good Mexican food. Service is counter service, but knowledgeable. They brought our OG taco plate to us and explained the fillings. My ceviche (pescado) was incredibly fresh. A perfect light meal served on top of one fried tortilla. The aguachile was a bit more filling. The OG taco sampler was perfect for sharing but could also be a good smaller meal. My son ordered a fried egg on top of his chicken tamale and was very happy. read more

Love the breakfast tacos and burritos. The bacon and potato is my current fav, the hot crispy and salty bacon crushes after a long volleyball beach sesh! Tried the aguachile, be warned it is not for the faint of heart. I fear the devil himself is in the kitchen seasoning the dish with peppers popping off his forearm like Salt Bae. Luckily they have horchata. read more

I was first introduced to Guisados in Echo Park and loved it! I never get the same vibes from the Hermosa location, but it's in my hood, and I enjoy numerous tacos there from time to time.... The other day I ordered a breakfast burrito to go. I was on my bike and I wanted to take it home. I usually don't like to go food, as I like to eat food fresh, but the situation was a bit different. When I got home, they gave me the wrong burrito. There was no way I was going to ride back so I ate the whatever burrito when I ordered a chorizo burrito (honestly I don't know what it was little half inch squares of meat no spices no potatoes nothing) I called later and had a terrible connection so noisy, three times so I gave up...drove by there in my car today and the guy was not helpful whatsoever maybe he didn't believe me as there's always somebody different at the counter there. It's hard to get to know people or them know me. I left empty-handed and very disappointed. I don't know if I will return again. I think I'm done too many good places to have tacos. read more

Been wanting to try this place as we were able to walk to the bars right after and the food was alright. My friends and I all tried different tacos and while we liked the meat, the tortillas were not our favorite. Even though they were pressed and cooked fresh, something about the flavor wasn't the best or maybe just wasn't my favorite. I got one beef taco which was yummy but I had thought was going to be sliced beef rather than shredded and marinated. The chicken was a hit but was super spicy, a lot more than we expected but luckily I'm a huge spice fan. We all said we wished there was an option to do them street style with onions and cilantro and have some salsa options on the side as the tacos themselves were a little basic. The chicken one only had a scoop of chicken and sliver of avocado and the beef was a scoop of beef and beans. The tacos were a bit too simple and the tortillas weren't our favorite so I think overall maybe the tacos weren't our style. I got the sangria from tap and they put fruit in it which was cute. It was quite strong but pretty good. The workers were kind and they made the food quickly and brought it out fresh! Overall the food was decent just wasn't a huge fan, and for about $5 a taco the portions were small and it ended up being an expensive meal. read more
