The chicken was pretty solid too, while the chorizo wasn't my bf's favorite but I enjoyed it. There was a decent amount of seating when we went and our food came out fast, which was nice. The only downside is parking. Downtown LB parking is always hit or miss. Overall, a really good taco spot with flavorful food and quick service. I'd definitely come back for the carne asada.

At the time, I enjoyed the food and considered the drive worthwhile. However, after the restaurant changed cooks, I noticed a decline in the overall quality and stopped returning. Today, I decided to give it another try and stopped by for a small bite. I ordered the vampiro, but unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. The meat lacked noticeable seasoning or flavor, which was particularly disappointing given the restaurant's claim of cooking with mesquite coals. The tortilla topping also appeared to be more like a pre-made tostada than a tortilla toasted over an open flame. Traditionally, I would expect a lightly charred tortilla, which adds flavor and texture to the dish. Based on this visit, the quality has not returned to what I remember from two years ago. I was disappointed with the food and do not plan to come back to this location or any other for that matter.

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.

They have a sit-down restaurant, a karaoke room, and even a walk-up window outside if you're just looking to grab something quickly. They're known for their tacos and their spicy habanero salsa, which definitely is spicy, be warned. LOL If you're dining inside, the chips and salsa are top-tier. Sooooo good and addicting! My personal favorite is the shrimp quesadillas. They're tiny, but mighty when it comes to flavor! I also like ordering their oysters. So far, they've always been clean, fresh, and hit the spot. They also have Micheladas, both the traditional version made with alcohol and a non-alcoholic version made with mineral water. Both are really good, and I highly recommend giving them a try! And for dessert, the rice pudding is served cold, and it's honestly one of the best I've had. Everyone I've brought here has been happy with their food and their choices, which says a lot because I've brought many friends and family here. As far as parking goes, you can usually find street parking, there's a parking lot, and there's also parking behind the restaurant. I will say the neighborhood is a little sketchy, but if you're local, it's really not a big deal. If you're coming from outside the city and aren't familiar with the area, I'd recommend just dining inside. There's a lot of homeless and liquor store activities across the street. It's usually not a big deal, but again if you're not used to it, you may freak out. Overall, El Sauz is one of my go-to spots for the late-night munchies, post concert, club, bar etc.

Super high quality. I loved my seafood chile rellano, they did not go cheap whatsoever on the filling and it was enough to eat the next day as well. My husband got the birria tacos (not pictured) and they were also really good but a little steep for not coming with rice and beans. Ceviche was fresh as well as guac but guac did not come with the chicharron like mentioned in the description. Enchiladas were good too, loved the heat of the sauce. We will be returning if back in the area soon!

I barely had time to scope out a table, when my three street tacos loaded with tender steak, cilantro and onions were ready. I added some green sauce and grabbed a few cucumbers from the condiment area and sat down with another solo lady diner. Corn tortillas sturdy enough to be single layered held up nicely through the meal. I like simple, quality, affordable food and Panchos fit the bill!

YessVera's Tacos in Long Beach is hands down my go-to spot for tacos…read more I've been coming here for a few years now, and tacos are one of my top five favorite foods, so I'm pretty particular. I've tried almost everything on the menu, with maybe one or two meats left, and everything has been great. I've had the tacos, nachos, burritos, and even the horchata, and they always hit. The sauces though... OMG. That's really what takes it over the top. They're so good I've definitely taken an extra one or two home to use with breakfast the next day. My favorite meat is the asada, and I also really enjoy their potato tacos, which I almost forgot to mention. Super flavorful and always satisfying. Customer service is really nice, and even though they're usually pretty busy, you still get your food fairly fast for the amount of people there. Just a heads up, parking is super limited, so I definitely recommend calling ahead, placing your order, and then picking it up. It's a food truck setup at a market, so it's not really about ambience, but they do have some outdoor seating if you want to sit and eat. Vera's tacos is just a great little spot with consistently delicious food. Definitely one of the best taco spots in Long Beach. Flavor Profile (for reference): Umami-forward (savory, salty depth) Acidic or bright (tangy + sour) Pungent and intense (spicy and bitter notes) Drink Preference (for reference): Bitter-forward cocktails Balanced acidity Light sweetness only, not overly sugary

Dependent on the time you go, it can be tricky to get in and out of the parking lot. It's sort of a one-way in and one way out situation. I've had their tacos, nachos, burrito, bowls, and tacos dorados of papa (potato). I have no complaints about any of these. My favorite meat go to are their Carnitas and chicken. When I ordered the burrito bowl, I usually ask for a half steak half chicken. The taco dorados are a hit with my family as an appetizer or l I'll order a couple orders for family gatherings. Very tasty! They also have a veggie and salsa bar outside of the truck, which is very helpful to take radishes, limes, cilantro, and onion. They sometimes have pickled onions as well. There's salsa especially the orange one is so fire. I usually go inside the bodega to get a full-size one for my house. The green salsa which is made with avocado is really good too. The cashier is on point with your order and the cooks do the best I can with turning around food. Depending on the time, you can wait about 15 -20 minutes sometimes. They also have a few table tables that are covered with a tarp for shade where you can sit and eat as well.

The food (especially the less common meats) and service was solid. The food truck has a semi-permanent location in the parking lot of the Magnolia Tire Shop, on the NE corner of Anaheim and Magnolia. We drove here this time, and there are parking spots here. There is a large canopy with folding tables and stools, enough seating for 20 people or so. They have a large variety of meats, paired with different types of Mexican favorites, so got mostly street size tacos, along with one mulita. There is a small self-serve salsa bar, with 3 different types of salsas (in pump containers to keep the mess down), 4 types of condiments (sliced cucumbers, limes, a very, very hot pickled onion mix, and a diced onion/cilantro mix. It was a Friday, so none of the specials applied making the meal not particularly of good value for a taco truck. Tacos are $2.50 each, each small corn tortilla piled high with the meats. My daughter tried the Pastor (the trombo is located inside the truck) which she said she enjoyed, especially with the pineapple. Mom liked the Taco Pollo that she got. My wife tried the mulita ($7) with the birria and cheese, and she liked it with the green salsa. My neighbor and I tried a sampling of the 2 offal meats here (buche and tripas...which is $0.50 more per taco), all on a taco, along with the cabeza. All were very good, especially the cabeza and tripas....wish other restaurants would use this quality of tripas in their menudo. Payment is expected at time of order and is cash only. I forgot to get drinks so my daughter got a pepsi and bottled water, and also got an order of grilled cambray onions and jalapenos...wish they had been grilled a bit longer. The gentleman manning the cash register was friendly, and called out our number in under 10 minutes. There was a steady stream of customers, never enough to overwhelm or create a large line. With the canopy keeping the sun off of us, it was fine eating outside....though I later realized in my pictures that all my food photos had a pronounced red tint to it.
