    Taco Truck
    Flora W.

    It was a cold January night in Long Beach. To celebrate my boyfriend's birthday, I got us tickets to see a comedy show at the Laugh Factory. When I was researching what restaurants were around the Laugh Factory, I found there are food trucks right outside. I decided this is the place to be! There were multiple taco trucks down the street. We chose Tacos El Trompo and we are so glad we did! By far, the Asada Burrito and the Asada Quesadilla were probably the best I've had from a taco truck. I have a lot of respect for food truck owners who hustle every day and this team sure does! The food was hot and delicious. It smelled amazing and it was even better eating it on the sidewalk on a cold night. My boyfriend and I shared these two items. I usually can't finish my half but this time I did! It was THAT good I had to eat it all! Haha! Next time I'm in Long Beach, we'll definitely plan to visit Tacos El Trompo again. We both can't wait!

    NTT Indy Car Grand Prix Long Beach occupied original food truck area on shoreline. All food truck seem to move to nearby street or gone for the time being. Tacos El Trompo is the only one in the area today. We really want some Mexican food truck. I am so glad to find Tacos El Trompo truck there. We ordered following items: Chicken Quesadilla - decent with large portion 2Beef Mulitas - good taste Shrimp Cocktail with Chips - Excellent 2 Esquites - tasty 3 Fish Tacos - Ok Fish Ceviche -Ok Asada Nachos- good 2 Jarriots soda and Sprite While waiting many people ordered their Asada Fries They have excellent spicy hot sauce. If you like spicy they have the sauce you want. Food was prep quickly, all above only takes about 10 minutes of wait. Thier original location is at 1370 Garylord St. Long Beach CA 90813.

    We went up to sample a couple of individual tacos to make sure they were good before we ordered, and boy were they good. We went back and bought a burrito, spicy hot dog and a mulita. Those were just as good as the tacos. There are about 4 or 5 other taco trucks next to each other, so for a taco lover, it can be very conflicting on which taco truck to choose, but we followed the line in front of tacos el trompo and it did not disappoint.

    Friends enjoying that good food

    Great juicy flavorful chicken tacos, best tacos ever…read more best salsa I've ever had in awhile and added so much to the tacos. It's slightly expensive but honestly worth it. 4 chicken tacos 4 life

    Guisados has a special place in my heart. When I worked in Boyle heights, it was our go to place…read morefor lunch so I was pleasantly surprised to find a new guisados in Long Beach, so close to home. The food is always so good! My go to is the sampler to get a little of everything. The cochinita pibil is one of my all time favorites and the mole poblano. Absolutely delicious!! The service here is good. We didn't necessarily have a great experience though. They messed up our order and we never got it fixed. We just happened to be there when there was a big party there too and it seemed like staff was a bit flustered. I told the workers about our order and they just forgot. We waited for over 15 min and when I went up to ask again, they realized they had forgotten about us and hadn't made our correct order so we decided to leave it and just go. Regardless of that hiccup, the staff were very friendly and they were apologetic about the situation. I would come back for sure and give it another try. The Boyle heights location has always been on top of it and I've never experienced a bad visit so I wouldn't say this location is bad off of one visit. The space is small and has inside and outside seating. We tried to eat outside but that bigger party took up a lot of the seats out there. They have a beautiful mural inside too and we luckily got a table. Overall, guisados is a must and I'm happy there's a location closer to me now.

    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.

    So, I turned to TikTok, the treasure trove of foodie recommendations, hoping to discover something…read morespecial. That's when I found this gem! 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.
