The tacos were bomb and the service was fast. The only downside was the fact that the facility didn't have a restroom.

Food amazing!!!! Plus short wait time, it makes everything about this restaurant a 5 star business. Soon to be the best Mexican stop in world read more

I've tried a few tacos in my day, in Mexico and the US. This place is definitely worth a visit. I tried tacos de picanha and al pastor. Fire! The picanha was my fave. Plus the tortillas were superior. People forget the vessel must also be in top form. I also got Jamaica and of course it was delish. I could drink a liter of that stuff. All together came out to just over $20 for the meal. I left full and extremely happy. Highly recommend. I went around 2pm and no line. Service was great and the restaurant was clean. Lots of seating. read more

Los Trompos Taqueria - Picanha y al pastor. - Tacos Near Me - Long Beach, California

Finally had the chance to try this place recently after hearing raves from my colleagues. This place replaced Dickies BBQ. There were always a long line the few times after they just opened and I never got the chance to check them out until recently (last week) and since then, I came back twice!! So, they are definitely on the pricier side. However, they offer a discounted cash price for all of their items so if you want the discount, bring cash. Also, the service is super wonderful! I love everyone who works there! Super nice. I love that they have a fresh salsa bar for you to pack/get your own salsa and everything else in between. They sell glass bottle Coke, which I always prefer over the American can version. My favorites are the burrito (not the cali one, too much) and tacos, with arrechera, top sirloin, and rib eyes! So good!!!!! read more

I'll give this place 3 stars. I like the concept and this was my second time going. The first time, I ordered a quesadilla and a Cali burrito. They messed up the Cali burrito and gave me a regular asada burrito instead. I ignored it and just ate it, but the al pastor was very dry. Second time, I ordered the same thing again. Unfortunately, the Cali burrito came out looking like a complete mess. It was so sloppy and falling apart that I couldn't even eat it. I honestly don't understand how a cook thinks it's acceptable to serve a burrito like that. At this point, I guess they're just not very good at making burritos. The al pastor was dry again, the salsas weren't very good, and overall the food just doesn't match the price point. Too expensive for the quality you get. I probably should've asked for my money back, but I was already home by the time I opened it. read more

Tacos were good I'm loving their al pastor the asada was too greasy for me. I ordered the horchata it was pretty good too. I only got two tacos and I'm glad I did because they were pretty big and they aren't cheap in price either so you're getting your moneys worth. It's street parking on Broadway only and there is plenty of seating inside. The customer service kind of sucked they kept forgetting if we asked for it to go or for here. Also, the girl asked me if i ordered tacos and how many? Then some guy was calling out numbers and he tried to give me a burrito just because I made eye contact with him. I could have easily said yes it's Mine but no I wanted my tacos!! We went pretty late on a Thursday night like 15 min before closing which I also do NOT recommend. read more

Long Beach is a really interesting place for tacos, and Los Trompos Taqueria--which opened just a few weeks ago in Downtown--is one of its most unique new additions. What sets Trompos apart is its focus on Mexico City-style tacos cooked on a trompo (vertical spit). I actually just spent the past week in Mexico City. One of the most memorable bites I had there was a picanha taco off the trompo at La Once Mil in Polanco. What's interesting is that this isn't a taco you see everywhere--even in Mexico City. But it is the signature taco at Los Trompos, which made this visit a must. I have to say that the tacos are different; however, the picanha taco here absolutely delivers. The meat is juicy, well-seasoned, and served on a handmade corn tortilla. It's also the only taco they serve pre-dressed--with guacamole and grilled onions--while they instruct you to dress up your other tacos at their well-stocked salsa bar. I tried four tacos (picanha, al pastor, ribeye, and arrachera). All were solid, but the picanha clearly stood out and is the one I'd come back for. Add some salsa and a squeeze of lime, and it really comes together. I also appreciate the handmade corn tortillas. Unfortunately, I couldn't clearly differentiate between the ribeye and arrachera, despite their price difference. I'd also like to see a bit more textural contrast - either from a stronger sear from the outer layers of the trompo or some added crispness from the tortilla or some other element (chicharron, tortilla chip, chapulines, etc). Long Beach is lucky to have a wide range of regional taco styles--from Sonoran and Sinaloan influences to Tijuana street tacos, with growing representation from Mexico City, Jalisco, Ensenada, and even the Yucatán. (Note: street parking can be tough, but they offer validated parking at IMT Gallery 421--check the photos for details.) read more

Checked out this new spot in downtown Long Beach and overall had a solid experience. Service stood out, the cashier was patient, friendly, and helpful. We tried a few tacos, and the ribeye was the definitely the highlight. Super flavorful and well seasoned. The al pastor was good, and the carne asada was just okay. Note that guacamole is extra, but they give you a side that's enough for about 2-3 tacos. The also have aguas frescas (jamaica, horchata, piña). I tried the pepino, it was a big sweet at first, but once the ice melted, it balanced out nicely. You can tell they're still working on their system. At times they called out numbers and brought food to tables, and other times you picked it up at the window. Parking might be tricky since it's on a one-way street. I got lucky with a spot out front, but went around 7:30pm on a Sunday. read more

It's in the name: those cones of roasted meat on a vertical spit, carved to order, presented to you in different formats. That's what I tried to get here on my first visit during lunchtime for take-out, and the food was delicious, but pricey. I live within easy walking distance and had been to this building (it's across the street from the LB courthouse and the unit used to house a Dickey's BBQ). Didn't realize it had opened until reading a Yelp friend's review, so made the walk over to pick up some tacos. It was fairly busy when I came before lunch rush hour. One orders/pays first, then wait for your order to be prepared and called out. There is a bit of seating inside, and it's an open kitchen with 4 trompos clearly visible. Three different aqua frescas are offered, otherwise, it's bottled and canned soda only. It's a good self-serve salsa bar, with a lot of various things to grab and package while one is waiting for their order. The three salsas range from a spicy tomatillo, to a medium molcajete salsa, to a very hot habanero. There is also pico de gallo for the timid. Pickled red onions, lime wedges, chopped cilantro, chopped white onion, slice radish and sliced cucumbers round out the offerings. The to-go packaging is smart, with the needed plastic condiment cups and lids right there, but also paper trays and single sheet aluminum foil for the non-sauces. My purpose was to sample the meats on the trompos, so focused on the ones with beef (the 4th is the typical al pastor). Picanha, top sirloin, and arrachera (skirt steak) were my choices, all on mulitas ($6.50 normally, a bit less if paying by cash). Have found at other places where mulitas are offered, that they could often be the best value since stuffing them with meat is more possible than for a taco. Not so much here: wouldn't call the amount of meat to be generous, but it was enough. The picanha and arrachera were the best, and the ones I would try again. They do have the premium option of ribeye ($7.27 for the multitas) which I skipped today, but looks like those come with grilled onions (which would have been fire with this beef). All the trompos are the electric kind so didn't get the charring that occurs with the gas fired ones that are used in an outdoor setting (and makes a cool show, especially at night). But this is the only Mexican place I've been to that had 4 trompos going at the same time, either. Super happy that this is so close by, and hoping to stop by whenever I can. read more

Omfg this was SO GOOOOOD. New taco place near where I live so I walked over for lunch. It was so fresh, literally hot off the grill. There's a self service area for sauces and other toppings. I just got diced onions, pickled onions, cilantro and limes. There were plenty of seats. Mostly 4 people tables. I will definitely be back! read more

Wow!! Is the perfect 3 letter word to describe the quality of their cuts of meat!! The arrachera was soooooo tender and flavorful! We also got the picahna again very tender and flavorful! We loved the fact that they ask how we'd like our tacos de tripa, soft or crunchy. The little salsa bar is great too. read more

I haven't been there in the morning, but definitely don't recommend the trompo meats in the late afternoon. it has all been sitting out all day and does not taste fresh at all. good news is that I didn't get food poisoning, so that's a plus. Besides the pico de gallo which was pretty standard, all of the salsas recipes are terrible. The corn tortillas, although made fresh, are way too thick and mealy. The stuffed potato was great and seems like it could easily be split into a meal for 2. read more

Would come back and recommend it 1000% read more

Found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try after my shift in Long Beach. I tried 3 tacos; the sirloin, the picanha, and arrachera. Honestly couldn't really tell a difference in flavor but they were all good and super tender. I got two picanha burritos to go afterwards. Service was great and fast. Place was chill and clean but parking may be tricky. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area again. read more

Los Trompos Taqueria - Picanha burrito. Really good especially with the green salsa. - Tacos Near Me - Long Beach, California

Fantastic Trompo Meats & Massive Quesadillas! This place was really good! The first thing that blew me away was their "homemade corn tortillas", you can absolutely taste the difference when they are made fresh. The Portions & Plates The Quesadillas: Absolutely massive! Be prepared for a huge portion that you can really sink your teeth into. The Tacos: Really good overall, and they do not skimp on the meat. The portions here are very generous. The Meat Sample Feast I decided to sample all of their trompo meats. When they brought out my plate, the server kindly pointed out which meat was which, but by the time I sat down to eat, I completely forgot! Here is how they stack up: Al Pastor (3/5): This one was just okay for me. It was missing that distinct, punchy seasoning that immediately takes you back to the street taco vendors in Mexico. Picanha (3.5/5): The flavor was good, but the cut of meat was a little on the tougher side. Arrachera & Top Sirloin (5/5): Absolutely amazing!The depth of flavor in both of these cuts was incredible. Eating these immediately transported me right back to the neighborhood where I grew up in Mexico. They are a must-order! The Verdict: Between the giant portions, the amazing salsa bar toppings, and those nostalgia-inducing meats, Los Trompos is well worth a visit. I'll definitely be back for more Arrachera and Top Sirloin! read more

Stopped by based on the hype the place has been getting. Waiting in line to order and my GF needed to use the restroom. Apparently this place was permitted to build without a public restroom. When we asked a staff member, we were told to ask the cashier for an access code to use the parking structure restroom?? Not sure how the city or building & safety figured this one but just a heads up...if you need to wash your hands or use a restroom plan ahead as there apparently is not one within the establishment. Didn't even bother ordering at that point and left. read more

The papa loca just fyi is a cut up potato similar to breakfast potatoes not a smashed stuffed potato like I am used to getting in Mexico but it's still very yummy, just a different version. The rib eye is by far the best, a very thin cut but it's well served (not skimped) and taste is perfection. I also had a taco de tripa and as per usual as most places in the US that serve tripa its very overcooked, i understand the reason for it but im always looking for a freshly cooked tripa. Still tasty tho. The jalapeño cebolla order is a thick cut grilled onion. I only mention because i was expecting cebollitas ( green onion) again still very tasty. I really hope this place maintains what they have because they're quite yummy. Some restaurants tend to downgrade their quality overtime. If they maintain what they have they will be here for the long run. Lastly, you get a discount for paying cash read more

My partner and I decided to give this new taco spot a try, but overall, it didn't live up to the hype. I ordered the asada, al pastor, and chorizo tacos. The asada was dry, and the al pastor was the same . Out of the three, the chorizo was the best, but still nothing memorable. By the time we received our food, the tacos were already lukewarm--even before adding any salsa or toppings. Once I added salsa, the taco felt completely cold, which was disappointing. On top of that, customers who ordered after us (with larger orders) were served first, while those ahead of us waited longer. Let's not forget customer leaving dirty tables. The dining area needs attention--the tables were not clean, which made the experience even less enjoyable. Overall, it feels like an overpriced taco spot ($5 per taco) that's been overhyped by social media influencers. read more

This place is amazing and soooooo good i will be back again and again and they have flan and it was so good

I try a place out 2-3 times before leaving a review. Fair to say I gave this place my usual trials. We tried to go on a weekend for dinner but we waited in line for 30 minutes before we felt the line move a little so we decided to come back a different day. We gave it another chance and tried it as dine out a couple weekends ago. Again the line was extremely long but we waited. The food was okay and needed some extra salt which helped bring out the flavors on our tacos (rib eye, Al pastor, arrachera, carne asada). We figured this is the type of food best eaten fresh and warm. The salsas also needed salt. As a dine-in experience this very past Saturday around 4:30 pm, the tortillas were good, but the tacos (rib eye, carnitas, arrachera, carne asada) still needed salt and so did the salsas. The spice level was mild in all the salsas except the orange/red salsa. The place was not too busy this day and we got our food somewhat faster than before. The place was not very clean. I wiped our table myself because I got tired of waiting for an employee to come clean it, there were crumbs and drops of idk what all over the table. Also, the salsa bar was messy with their fixings (lemon wedges, onions, cilantro, etc.) everywhere and the salsas themselves spilled all over. Overall, I was expecting to be wowed by their tacos which look extra delicious on social media but the flavors are just meh. Add on to that the possible long wait times and not a very clean place, I don't think I will be returning. read more

I saw on TikTok that this spot just opened up and wasn't too far, so my fiancée and I decided to check it out! It wasn't very busy at all, and we got our food fairly quickly. The ambiance was decent with loud music, a soccer game playing on the TV, and a few people around. This spot is definitely on the pricier side, with tacos costing around $5 each. They do offer a cash discount, FYI! Our total, including tip, was $63.26. Sides and sauces are self-serve and set up in the corner. While we waited for our food at a table far to the right, we saw a small roach crawling on the floor, so just a heads-up! The food spread looked amazing, but it was pretty mid. The al pastor had a good texture but lacked flavor, and the meat was very oily. The guacamole's texture was great, but it had no flavor. The rice and beans were salty. read more

I had been going here regularly for a while since it opened and most of the time it was really good. Although, as others pointed out, this wasn't always the case. Unfortunately, recently, I got a picahna burrito and it was just awful: unbelievably oily, falling apart, too much meat, almost no rice. I should've taken it back but I just didn't have the time. I can tell where the inconsistency comes from. There's one guy that when I get it from him it's always really good. But I could tell it was a different guy that made it this time and it was just awful. It's a shame. I hope they can figure this out. Maybe I'll try it again in a few months, but this most recent experience was so offputting to me I'm not sure I'm gonna come back. It was a very unpleasant experience to eat and left me feeling bad for the next day and a half. I think I probably should've not eaten it. I had terrible indigestion and just felt very gross and oily for a very long time afterwards. read more
