We've been wanting to try this place and finally pulled the trigger. It's very small inside but cute. We shared the 3 taco plate with chips and salsa. I think the chips and salsa should be standard and not $3.99 additional charge. It was good though. The tacos we got were chicharron, carnitas, and chile verde. All guisaidos style but very good. Beans were well prepared and rice too. Michelada is served with a tall can and very tasty. They didn't have a lot of items on the menu I think because of staffing issue. Service was great overall. read more

Came here on a Wednesday around 1pm. Table inside and outside. Tables couldve been cleaner. No bathroom. Parking lot in front. Ordered to go. Serivce was okay. 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. All in all for price 9$ for two tacos to taste I wish serivce and tatse was better quality. read more

I came here because of all the great reviews, so I was honestly expecting a lot more. The food was pretty mid across the board not terrible, but definitely not memorable or worth the price. Portions were mid , the flavors felt bland and overpriced for what you get. The biggest disappointment was how expensive everything was compared to the quality. I don't mind paying more for amazing Mexican food, but this just didn't deliver. 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. read more

I recently visited La Chancla in Long Beach with my partner, and unfortunately the experience left a bad impression. 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. read more

I had the queso birria tacos and they did not disappoint. The quality of the tacos were great and they tasted great. It was the first time I had it so I'm unsure how the price is compared to other places but it was 3 tacos for 15. I also had a michelada which was also great. The service was great as the person helping in the front was friendly and made sure we got what we needed. The restaurant itself is quite small but clean. Overall we had a positive experience and if I was in the area I would go again. read more

After seeing the reviews and all of the folks on social media raving about this spot - we decided to go and grab some dinner. We spoke to a few in line as we were waiting and they were all raving about it as well. I was a little thrown off because practically everything was premade and in hot trays. It was almost like cafeteria style, there were a few items that came out of the back. The food was OK, for me there wasn't much flavor in it and for the price I was hoping it would have been a little more fresh. The staff was friendly, and they were very accommodating, it was just the food and maybe all of the social media influencers created such a buzz that my expectations were higher. I'm not sure we will be going back. read more

First time trying La Chancla after good words were heard from my friends. It is a very nice and cozy place when I arrived. With ample seating and bustling with people ordering. I ordered the 3 tacos with rice and beans. I got the La verde, shrimp, and chicharones tacos. The best taco for me was the shrimp taco because of the tangy/spicy sauce they have already on it. It gave the shrimp depth. I can't wait for the next time I am in Long Beach to go again. read more

Five stars for the flavor and quality of the meats and the handmade corn tortillas. The 3 taco platter definitely seems like the way to go here for the best experience. But the rest is a semi-cautionary tale: The carne asada fries were super basic and pretty underwhelming for the price, though the carne asada itself is absolutely delicious. My husband got a mole burrito and requested it wet, assuming it would be covered in mole or at least complementary-flavored sauce. It came slathered in their signature, super tangy green sauce which did not exactly go well with their rich and sweet mole. My husband was pretty put off by the flavor combination and just couldn't do it, and this man will eat anything. A heads up could have been nice. Mango agua with the chamoy/Tajin rim was fine. First few sips were bomb, but it kinda gets meh quickly. Smaller size would have definitely been the better call. --- You should still go try this establishment. Just do it for the tacos. read more

I have ate here before and wasn't disappointed, BUT today I order à chicharrón burrito and only had one piece of chicharrón the last bite of my burrito they stuff it with so much rice even when I ask for lil bit rice. Not coming again read more

Wow were we blown away. We ordered this via DoorDash and everything was so good we had to order it twice. We tried the california burrito, asada, chicken tinga burrito, mole tacos, chille relleno tacos, and quesadilla. Every item ordered was cooked to perfection with flavor that you could tell was homemade. The food was too good I had to leave a review! Now we definitely have to try it in person. read more

Cool taco spot. Good tacos. Good customer service. It's a cool spot to try. I recommend.

Amazing tacos! A Long Beach must. The tortas are also very very good. It's hard to make a choice. Reminded me of a Mexico City spot. If you've never been to Mexico City then this place will give you that feel. read more

Omg I was so satisfied. We'll come again, thank you! read more

I recently came here with my family after a day at MOLAA museum. We were craving some authentic Mexican food and happy we found this place because it was exactly that! The food smelled delicious as soon as you walk in. We were warmly greeted upon arriving. You order at the counter then the food is brought out to you. Do yourself a favor and get an agua fresca because it will come with chamoy rimmed cup. Messy and delicious! We had gobernador tacos ( shrimp tacos), quesadilla, soyrizo burrito, (2) 3 taco plate to try different proteins everything tasted authentic, fresh and delicious! There were Mexican party jams, good food and vibes at this spot. The name got my attention but I'm coming back because of the food. read more

The customer service is really good the workers are very nice. The reason I have a 3 stars because the food was very salty. The chilaquiles sauce was really sweet and salty. The taco de chicharron was also salty. The good thing was the michelada and the chicken taco. I wish I could put a higher rating but I think that's fair. read more

So we usually door dash this place . And we should have just done that Saturday. We went there. Waitress forgot to bring a drink. She neglected to put one item on the order. And most important, one family member who has not eaten pork in over 15 years, ordered a chicken burrito and got pork. Ate a few bites b4 noticing. Also waitress never brought silverware or napkins. We will door dash from now on. read more

Found this place by searching Yelp and was not disappointed I had the carne asada tacos and my husband the spicy shrimp. Both were excellent. The chef was so kind and friendly. That's what sets a good restaurant apart from an excellent one read more

I was in the area and wanted a quick bite but nothing too heavy... pulled up the Yelp app and it lead me here. We arrived around 8:30 on Saturday night and there was only another family dining. Parking: 5/5 in a huge lot next to North Gate si parking is a non issue. Food: 5/5 We decided to try some tacos Baja shrimp, birria, spicy shrimp and gobernador and boy I'm glad we did. They are made with tortillas he has a mano and they're pretty big! It had some delicious tasty salsas and it's garnishments! No need for extra salsas. The shrimp gobernador came in threes $12 and the tortillas were a little fried with melted cheese really really tasty! I took some nachos home and ate them later on. Prices are less than regular so about 4 dollars per taco. We got our agua Fresca with our check in. Super refreshing. Ambiance: 5/5 it's not a full restaurant but more of a quick meal. No frills just straight to the point! It's a decorated with lots of cute indigenous curtains and has a picture of mom with the chancla. I was glad I stopped by. This will be a place I would definitely come back to if I'm in the area! Give it a try you won't be disappointed! read more

I came here today out of luck. I do not live in this area but we were looking for some good home-like food. We stumbled across La Chancla and I am so happy we did. The food was delicious and tasted like something my Tia's would make for me. I tried the mole and the birria and it was amazing. I live in OC I will definitely return if I'm in the area. read more

My Dad and I stopped here after a kayaking trip in Redondo Beach on a Saturday night. Cute, buried at the end of strip mall. I had a wet burrito with rajas and soyrizo. So delicious. My dad three tacos, two with carnival and one I can't remember. The portions were huge. The service was fast. They were busy to go orders. I think the tortillas are made fresh. If I lived in the area I would definitely come back. read more

My husband and I came here after spending the day in Long Beach. We were originally going to go to a taco stand but it wasn't open yet so after a quick search we found La Chancla. And boyyyyy are we happy we did. Walked in and instantly loved the vibe. We were greeted by who I believe was the owner, he was very friendly. He took our order which for my husband was the birria tacos, for me was 3 taco plate with Tinga, asada, and pescado and we had two aqua frescas. First sip of my horchata and I was already knowing the food was about to be bomb. The food came out quickly and my husband and I dug in. Everything was absolutely amazing! Not one complaint. Everything was fresh, Tinga was juicy and flavorful, asada seasoned properly, fish fried perfectly, birria was rich in flavor. Even the handmade tortillas were soft and tasted great. Rice and beans were exactly like someone's abuelita made them. Now I'm back home in Vegas and I think about these tacos several times throughout my day. read more

I had the best torta of my life here! Not to mention, the place is super cute, and everyone is very friendly. Highly recommend!

Service here was excellent but we got there just before the rush, which would have seriously impacted that. The food was only OK. It is a small hole-in-the-wall place, which I tend to prefer. The sauces were overly vinegary and taste of the cheese enchiladas was very bland. The taco trio we selected was OK with the carnitas being the best of three. I was hoping for more given the small location read more

I've been here several times and my experiences have been average. I had the baja shrimp tacos and the shrimp tasted dry and overcooked. Also the salsa that came with it was very sour so it didn't pair well together. The guacamole was ok, a bit mushy and flavorless. When you check in, you can redeem a free aqua fresca so I chose the mango flavor. It was watered down and did not have much mango flavor. One of the downsides here is that there isn't much seating available and they don't turn on the AC so it feels like sitting in a sauna. Since this restaurant is located in a large plaza, there is a good amount of parking available. read more

Love this cute little spot! The food and service were amazing! It's like guisados but better! Highly recommend!

Chicken enchiladas and double rice (per request) since I don't like beans. My dad got a chile verde plate with corn/flour tortillas. Everything was made from scratch so the tortillas were soft and fresh and the horchata is natural too. None of that powdered stuff! The workers are kind and patient and answered all the questions we asked! Come here, it's amazing! read more

Food took a while but was worth the wait! We stumbled upon this spot after an appointment we had nearby. Would definitely come back!

Food, service, and experience sucked. Enough said! I had high hopes for this place too

Horrible, soggy tacos, salsa is not salsa it's liquid sauce. Worst cinco de mayo experience ever. Reviews are not accurate

Food was delicious. Only tried take out and the service was friendly and quick. Looking forward to trying the other items on the menu

Our first time at this hole in the wall Mexican place and we were happy we tried it out. Food was excellent, I had a chciken taco salad and it tasted very fresh. The chicken was tender, beans and rice were good. Great combination with the large horchate. Service was excellent and the place is clean and friendly. I will definitely come back again and try other items on the menu. read more

Small taco place delivers big on flavor. Especially with their birria tacos. Nice little place with good lighting. Affordable specials on the chalkboard as you walk in. I got the three birria tacos with consume combo. And a three taco combo. If you check in on Yelp you get a free agua fresca to enjoy with your meal. The tacos here have an extra-thick, fresh handmade tortilla. Birria tacos- The cheese and pickled onions in provide good texture. Paired with the consume, each bite is as flavorful as you make it. carne asada tacos- okay. The proteins were a little tough but that's nothing a little lime and salsa couldn't fix. The free horchata helped digest these pieces. The combo comes with rice and beans. The 3 tacos themselves were enough to get me full. I'll be back read more

This restaurant has good vibes! I really enjoyed the vibes and the music. I ordered a queso torta asada with everything for 11.99. It arrived it 5 minutes and came with a tomatillo salsa. It was freshly made and pretty hot - too hot to hold. I didn't get any utensils, but then again I am eating a sandwich... The cashier came to check in and I asked for and received a spoon, so the service is good. The bread is very thin and the salsa has a medium level of spiciness in my opinion. The queso is mostly on the outside of the bread. It has a really good texture but is pretty salty. Honestly there isn't a whole lot to write home about, but it's still pretty decent read more

The food was absolutely decision and the servers were friendly and very helpful. Everything about our experience with La Chancla catering was perfect. read more
