This place is still delicious as always. The quality and consistency of their food cannot be beaten. They are always very friendly and helpful with any questions you may have about the menu. There is also plenty of seating inside with decorations covering the walls, but also outside seating if the inside is full. I always recommend this place to others as my go-to food spot. read more

Asked for pastor got asada, some mold on rice container so it's been sitting for a while.. Otherwise genuine food and was pretty good read more

The owner of this establishment has a horrible attitude, bad service and his food service is a joke. I'd prefer Ancestros for better quality food. If your reading this you should value your customers alot more. And for the record I did not "flip you off" check your camara. My attitude was calm and collective. What we didn't like is that you told my partner you were going to take apart the 4 tacos and re-use the meat with onions and cilantro to correct the order of 4 sopes. Something about that just didn't sound right. I'm not jumping to conclusions but I'm starting to wonder how your really serving your customers with canceled orders. Are you re-using meat on canceled orders for the next customer? As I mentioned earlier your very confrontational! read more

Oh wow my sopes were amazingly delicious. It was so good I couldn't stop thinking about it. I WILL definitely come back. The staff were friendly and inviting. For it being a small restaurant, there's a good amount of room for you to eat and enjoy read more

I was so impressed with the taco plate. It came with a nicely charred green onion. The beans and rice tasted light and fresh. The corn tortillas look to be handmade and they have just the right consistency to hold the taco. The asada had the perfect chewiness, tasted very fresh and flavorful. The salsa was good as well. Overall just incredible for a small taqueria in Long Beach. Great service and a clean interior. Highly recommend. read more

OMG. Why isn't there a line out the door?! I dropped in for a quick lunch and the food was soooo good! Got a 2 taco plate with asada and al pastor. My favorite food is Mexican food but so many restaurants oversalt the food. Here, the food is full of flavor without it tasting too salty. Especially loved the grilled green onion, it had a slight crunch on the outside. The homemade tortillas?? To die for. Pillowy and soft. I will drive the 20 minutes to come here next time I need tacos! read more

Mama Juanas Taqueria - 2 Taco Plate - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

Mama Juanas Taqueria is always a good place to stop off at if you ever want a bite to eat. Their burritos our outstanding! I recently went there and got a Cali Burrito. 10/10 best burrito I've had in a while. The service was and always is top-notch! The staff is always friendly and polite. I also love the fact that even when it's totally crowded and there are lots of people getting food, there always is a place to sit whether it's inside or outside. As I said in my last review, if you haven't already checked it out, you def should because it is some of the best food in Long Beach! read more

The Asada fries were the best Asada fries I have ever had in my life. I also learned that their tortillas are handmade, so I will be back to try their tacos. The service was phenomenal. The server went above and beyond. The restaurant allows you to order to go or you have the two other options to either sit inside and eat or outside, in what looks like a comfortable seating area. read more

Pretty tasty food here! I loved everything i got. Get the asada tacos on the home-made corn tortilla and add a grilled jalapeno and onions! Soo good and also the asada burrito was solid and flavorful! They have food options such as asada, chicken, asada, al pastor, or chorizo, Probably the best spot for good tacos. Get the red salsa and green salsas. Both tasted great! Service is fast and friendly. Lots of parking in the back area between this place and the dentist office. They have a nice patio outside. Hope this location can stick around because this spot always changes. Food rating Also taco in corn tortilla 8.8 Asada Burrito 8.5 read more

This is a five-star review but I have to admit that I'm a little bit upset. I'm just upset that this place opened up in my neighborhood because the food is so good. I'm going to want to come here everyday I stopped in to try their carne asada fries and was literally blown away! It was delicious as a composed dish, but every element was good on its own. The meat was tender and flavorful. The fries were seasoned and cooked to perfection. Plenty of cheese. The crema and Chipotle cream sauce....were amazing! I topped it with their homemade salsa verde. The staff was very friendly and the service was quick. The place was very welcoming. I paid about $18 with tax and tip. The tape was optional but I support small businesses The portion was definitely shareable so it was worth it. I will definitely be back read more

One foot inside the door and we were warmly greeted. We were given time to check out the menu and we proceeded to order. I was sold at handmade tortillas!

I hope this new place survives because it changes quite often. We saw that new orders have taken over the space and when we realized it was Mexican food, we knew we had to stop. We actually came for the soft opening but early in the day so it wasn't busy yet. Plus, no one really knew that they had opened. Inside the taqueria, they have a picture of a woman who I assume is Mama Juana and I actually forgot to ask. It also looks like it is family owned. I ended up ordering the taco plate with one asada and one al pastor with cotija cheese. The plate came with rice and beans that reminded me of my tias food. Everything was delicious and I wanted to order more food but decided to wait till my next visit. A few days later my boyfriend went back for their burrito and he said it was amazing. There are so many great dishes on the menu so I am sure I will be back soon. Tell your friends and family about this place, they will love it especially if they love authentic Mexican food. read more

Been wanting to try this place since they opened little more than a year ago. Ngl, I avoided it because the vinyl sign out front was crooked for too long (iykyk). Tonight I stopped in on a whim. My order: Taco plate - chicken and asada with rice & beans Chicken sopes Bean & cheese burrito Chicken burrito Chips & salsa Total: $54 Goal: Two bites of everything. I'm a sopes freakazoid (been mad at Lola's since they removed them from their menu): Hands down the best I've ever had! It's one large serving and it is ridiculously good. Generous amount of cotija and perfect seasoning on chicken. A must try! Bean & cheese burrito - I am SO going to tell anyone that will listen about this simple but perfect burrito. Chicken burrito - very good. I took a bite but I was already full. Chips & Salsa? Did not survive the car ride home. They are seasoned and warm and fresh. The green salsa was my fave. The red was good but pretty hot. Spice lovers will appreciate. The reason I went: TACOS - Delish! Tasted like a friend's mom made them. The grilled scallion? Chef's kiss! Food is bomb. Ambiance great! Soccer game was on. Staff was warm and welcoming. Don't hesitate. Try this local spot. read more

I got the carne asada sopes this time and I must say they're really good. Carne asada is on point and I'm willing to stop driving across town to taqueria on 4th just to enjoy my sopes here! I love their green salsa. The red one could be a lil more spicy and also the queso fresco + sour cream combo is so good! I really like the queso they use read more

I was looking for a Mexican restaurant and I found this place and I saw the bad review. I really liked how they stood up for themselves and for their business so I decided to try them.

Things we got: 3 carne asada fries and el pastor tacos and everything was good the chipotle sauce is delicious definitely worth more than $1 that person's was refusing to pay. read more

Went here for lunch after 2pm. Small Mexican joint in the corner of Long Beach Blvd. I believe the soft opening just ended. There was a small sign right in front outside stating tacos come on in. There was no restaurant signage in front. So I assumed this place just fairly opened. Went inside, only a few tables inside. Very small and tight. At the front counter and ordered 3 tacos (Al pastor and Carne Asada) and a Torta meat sandwhich with a can of soda. All came within 10 minutes. Presentation was nice and the flavor was good. No complaints. Now comes the Good and the Bad. Good: Food was fresh and tastes Great! Ambiance is chill so far. Bad: Small portion for the prices you are paying. Example Taco and torta sandwhich we ordered. When ordering, they already had a tip menu and a tip jar, a sense of obligation to tip. Place is small. Parking may be hard to find, pending what hours you go. Traffic is noisy due to LB Blvd. People can see you eat when the stop at a red light.. This place has alot of potential to be successful. Advise, this establishment needs to be more engaged with their customers. Be friendly and have some customer service etiquette, since you are trying to increase sales. This place is like ordering food at your multiple taco corner stands but have a roof over your head. Love the name! Catchy! I assume it is someone's Grandma = family member. Overall, I'll be back again to try something else. read more

I had high hopes cuz the place looks so cool from how it's such a small place just in the middle of a street. I had the carne asada fries and I kid you not there was no more than a tablespoon of meat in my order. All you could taste was cheese. When carne asada fries are bland you know the place is not good. I also tried their horchata slush, which should be reworded to their vanilla syrup concentrate slush. I was rooting for this place but I regret not going to king taco instead from how expensive this place is. Just one taco is over 3 dollars, and I can't even imagine how little meat they probably come with. My partner had the sopes and he also agreed that it lacked meat. For a second he even thought he ordered vegetarian sopes. And for what they charge I would have expected at least a tbs more. :( it's always a disappointment walking out of a meal hungry read more

Cute new spot on a funny little street where several businesses have been homed over the years. Mama Juanas is a family owned Mexican food spot where they make their own tortillas. Our family stopped in to get burritos and tacos and they did NOT disappoint! The carne asada is tender and flavorful and salsas are delicious! The service was excellent, even at close to closing up shop. Street parking. read more

Solid little Mexican spot located literally in the center of 36th St at LB Blvd. It's a small space with just a few tables, so limited seating. It felt like they were still getting their bearings as a newly opened spot, but their service was friendly and effecient. Their menu seemed to revolve around their meats: asada, pollo asada, al pastor, or chorizo, in your choice of vehicle (burrito, torta, tacos, or bowl). The pollo asado is bijol-yellow and slightly charred. The carne asada is tender, marinated, and a little smoky. My teen inhaled his chorizo burrito so I didn't get to try that one, but I imagine it was delicious as well. Their corn tortillas are handmade -- small but dense and slightly chewy, they're perfect. Both the red salsa and green salsa were fresh: the red was smoky, robust, and packed a punch of heat while the green one was bright, tangy, and less spicy. We will definitely be back! read more

With an almost 5-star rating, I expected much better. The beans were undercooked, the rice lacked flavor, and the tacos were just average. The red salsa was far too hot, making it difficult to eat, and the pico de gallo had an off-putting aftertaste. There are way better tacos spots in LB! read more

was in a hurry, so I called in my order. I started in Spanish, and I'm pretty sure the guy immediately clocked my very L.A. Spanish, because within seconds we smoothly transitioned into that classic Spanglish. Respect on both sides. Order placed, no issues. He was super friendly, bilingual (English & Spanish), and cool enough to trust me and start the order before I even got there -- always appreciated. I ordered carne asada fries for my daughter, plus a sope (the pictures convinced me), and an asada torta for later. The fries were actually very good. I wouldn't have been mad at a little more carne asada, but what really impressed me was how crispy the fries stayed -- not just at pickup, but all the way through. That alone puts them above a lot of places. The sope was solid -- fresh fried masa, topped with queso fresco and crema. Maybe a little bean-heavy and a bit light on the meat for my taste, but still very tasty. I finished the whole thing like it was something mama made, so clearly it did its job. The asada torta was big, flavorful, and honestly reminded me a little of Mexico. Could've used some avocado, but overall a very good torta that held up well later. It's a small shop, simple setup, plenty of parking around, and everything was freshly made. No shortcuts, no attitude -- just good food and good people. Bottom line: this place gets it right. I'll definitely be back read more

this place deserves a zero star rating for their super bad service. my husband and i walked in and were getting ready to place a big order for our family and my husband asked if he could use the restroom and the lady said he had to wait and gave him a dirty look, which i was observing her and she kept giving him dirty looks as she just walked away. when we got to the register he asked the young lady and she also ignored him and said she would have to go outside and open the door and proceeded to ignore him. at this point I said if she can go and open the door firs as he really needed to go. she went to go open the bathroom door and returned to the area but didn't proceed to take my order, then the older lady asked me to step aside for other customers and i said i wanted to place my order, and she said weren't you going to wait for your husband and i said no i'm ready... she proceeded to ask me again with a bad attitude "don't you want to wait for your husband? and i was like why would i need to wait for him, i'm ready now. at this point i said never mind you can attend the other customers and walked out. i'm amazed that people will treat customers like this for no reason whatsoever delicious . never going back that's for sure. we ended going to the brand taco spot and it was read more

A small space with a few tables and good to-go options. We ordered carne asada fries, carne asada tacos, and Al pastor tacos. The food was a good portion, but I really enjoyed the red salsa they provided. It was tangy and added the right amount of heat to our food. Service is friendly. The fries were good too, they just come with a little chipotle sauce which makes them different from other carne asada fries in the area. read more
