YessVera's Tacos in Long Beach is hands down my go-to spot for tacos. 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.

I love Vera's Tacos. It's conveniently located in the back of a market where you can do your shopping and grab a bite to eat at their namesake taco truck after. The carne asada here is delish - it's flavorful and tender. I like it taco form, but it's also great in a burrito. Whatever the case, the carne asada is solid. My favorite thing I've eaten so far are the tacos dorados de papa. For about $10, you get 4-5 taco(?) in a little foil tin. They're deep fried, topped with lettuce and crema. The tacos have just the right amount of potato to keep them meaty after a dip in the fryer. The toppings keep it feeling fresh. Deliciouso. Prices are very reasonable, if not cheap. Highly recommend Vera's Tacos if you're looking for something quick and easy. read more

This taco truck is located in the parking lot for Vera's market with plenty of parking in their parking lot. Omg the carne asada sope was so good and the size of it was the size of 2 sopes. Everything about the way it was made was perfect. The carne asada fries though I feel like it was missing something. I ordered it with everything on it onions and cilantro ( didn't see much of either). I probably wouldn't order this again , but the sope definitely You request the hot sauce you want at the window, but they have a self serve veggie condiment area which was very clean and organized. The menu didn't show prices of anything they had, would be nice if prices were listed. I will definitely be back for more sope and make try something else read more

Why the 5 stars... 1. Affordable 2. Flavorful and fairly portioned dishes 3. Made fresh to order 4.Self-serve freshly made salsa and other condiments 5.Location; Food truck right in front of Vera's Market Can't believe I'm barely making a review for Vera's Tacos. This is the spot. If you know you know! People mainly do takeout orders, but there is a small seating area to enjoy your food there. It gets crowded, which is precisely the reason I gave it 5 stars. If you haven't tried it yet, get the Carne Asada fries! It's only $10! read more

Iykyk it goes down over here. My first time getting food from here but it won't be the last. Best price for a meal in town. I can't even describe how good the burrito was. To die for. Very affordable, not overpriced like Taco Bell or chipotle. Authentic cuisine over here. The service was good. Keeping up with the demand. They have a little patio with chair and tables. Families vibes on the west side. Come and get you some. read more

One of the better taco trucks I have been to. I work nearby and frequently hit it up on the way home. Extremely affordable as well, which is refreshing in this day and age. Big fan of the potato tacos. Quesadillas are packed with meat, the chicken has good flavor. They keep everything in the salsa bar fresh and full (lemons, onions, cilantro, cucumbers, radishes, and four types of salsa). It is connected to a market and there is ample parking. read more

"Amazing hidden gem! The Tacos de Papa here are the real deal--crispy, perfectly seasoned, and super authentic. You can tell they use quality ingredients even though it's quick service. If you want a fantastic, fast Mexican meal that hits the spot, this is the place!" read more

Moving from the Bay Area to Long Beach, it's tough to find those "go-to" staples, but Vera's is hands down the best. After trying several mediocre trucks in the area, this is the only one that masters both the meat and the sauces. **The Highlights:** * **The Food:** The carne asada, pollo, and carnitas are flavorful and consistent. * **The Sauces:** You have to try the spicy guac and the signature orange sauce they are rare standouts. * **The Service:** Incredibly fast! Even on busy days, I've never waited more than 10 minutes. **Pro-Tip:** Seating is very limited and there's likely no restroom, so it's best for a to-go meal. I take all my out-of-town visitors here and it never misses. I'd love to keep it a hidden gem, but they deserve the props! Eat here NOW you won't regret it read more

The portions are really good. Their carne asada is the best. Not chewy at all. Tacos the papa; delicious!!! Their wet burrito? BOMB!!!

Best tacos in town! Me and my coworkers are there every Tuesday! The red salsa is so delicious

I just happened upon this store about two months ago and I bought some things in the grocery store and I felt like I was in Mexico ha ha! And then I discovered the food truck right behind it and I feel like I'm a connoisseur of Mexican food this was some of the best food I've ever had. I got a quesadilla just cheese with jalapeño and it was amazing and expensive and served pretty fast. The ambience in the store was cool. It made me feel once again like I was in Mexico and the service was great. read more

This place is amazing. We bought a house a few years back around this area. We didn't know that it existed until more recently. We come here at least once a week for the tacos and Tacos de papas. The convenience store is an added bonus. read more

Foooood is delicious try the asada fries, tacos, sope, the salsas are allllllll sooooo goooood! Try or all

Vera's is a local legend for sure--my friends and I have been coming here for a good amount of years. It's a taco truck, but a taco truck that remains parked right in front of Vera's Market. The nice part is you can grab a drink or other things you need from the market. Somehow, tacos just taste better coming out of a truck! Food always tastes super fresh and is made pretty quickly. The market/truck are tucked away just a turn off Wardlow street. I've always been able to find a parking spot here, but just keep in mind it's a one-way parking lot strip with only so many spots so it may be a little tight. There should be plenty of parking in the neighbor as well though. There's a few tables outside you can sit down in but we've always gotten food to go and it still tastes great. I've tried pretty much all the meats here and you can't go wrong, they're all delicious--there's a huge variety and a wide selection of vessels to put them in. The tortillas for the tacos have that homemade taste and texture to them. Personally my favorite is the carnitas--it has just the right amount of crisp texture and meatiness to it. The cabeza, which many places don't do, is also great and is actually well made here. The lengua also has a great texture and flavor...but again, you can't go wrong with any choice here. I recommend you also try the potato tacos (tacos de papa)--it's almost like having mashed potatoes inside fried hard shell tacos (dorados). The greens and crema they put on top are just so subtle and really compliment it well. It comes with 4 per order so it's good to share if you come with others. The prices are also great--for how big the burritos are, they're practically more economical than getting tacos! They also do all-meat burritos if you're into that. If you're super hungry, consider a quesadilla which is pretty big for the price. Even coming here post-pandemic, it's still great to see they're thriving with great food at great prices. The staff are friendly and they do take card. Also, for the lazy like me--they give you salsas in a bag once you pick up your order. Otherwise per usual at a taco truck you grab veggies and toppings separately on your own! For any taco/taco truck lover in the local area, you gotta stop by. Once you're there, it'll become obvious by how many people are coming and going with to-go orders that it's worth the trip. read more

My family and I love Vera's Tacos! This taco truck by the Vera's market has some impeccable flavor! Their prices are a bit cheaper than the standard and they serve fairly generous portions. I really love their Asada Fries. The meat is always so tender and flavorful and the fries are quite crispy! Recently, we tried out the Wet Burrito and it was huge, super filled, and so delicious! They get the food out pretty quick and they have a small outdoor dining area by the market as well! The lady that took our order was very nice and patient with us! read more

Vera Vera Vera!! I mean... I will dream about these damn tacos and burrito for at least another day or two. DELICIOUS!!!! This taco truck, turned taco stand, turned outdoor restaurant is out here slangin' some serious flavors. I've been here a few times many years ago and finally stopped by for a trip down memory lane. I thank the lord for whose ever heavenly fingers have been blessed in making this food. I started off wanting a carne asaba burrito but the aroma from the truck was telling my tummy to order more. AND I DID! I ordered, carne asada fries with guac, potato tacos plate, one carnitas taco, one pastor taco and ofcourse my carne asana burrito. I know it was a lot so asked that you mind ya business around my food portions. . Every bite took me to flavor town. From the grilled onions, cilantro. Jalapeños and salsa my mouth couldn't stop opening up for another bite, even when my stomach said no more, I took another bite. lol this place is it!!!!! Come here and buy everything on the menu. You will NOT regret anything you order. I'll be reheating my burrito for dinner because it was a monstrosity that could feed a small village but my ass is greedy. I'll be back VERA!!! read more

New items added the menu! Vera's is a taco truck of their word! They told me they would add new items (I had my fingers crossed for nachos) and they delivered! I got their nachos and wet burrito (also a lengua taco, but that was for my cat, who must of been a latina in her past life cause she ate all of it) and it was very delicious! The green sauce is a bit spicy, but I love spiciness, so it's great for me! For others who may not like spiciness, I'd say "beware". Love this place! read more

When my girl does her happy dance while eating, I know she wants to give the place a 5-star rating. However, I have never seen her do her happy dance AND not say a damn word while eating like she did at Vera's! This is some next level ish! I don't think we said a single word to each other until our plates were cleaned our first time here. Something about the meat at Vera's puts you in a state of bliss. The tacos come with double tortillas that are both soft and crisp, chopped onions, and cilantro. Her favourite was the pastor, while the suadero melted me like I was the Wicked Witch of the West! And the sauces....MMM! You cannot go wrong with the spicy avocado sauce, though each sauce is good in its own way! Although the carnitas taco was jam-packed, the flavour was pretty standard. Grab a pollo or asada taco, throw some green and orange hot sauce on it, and you'll smile internally with each bite. I know a lot of people love cabeza, but it was just too greasy for me. Other menu items I've tried include the mulita, tortas, burrito, and sope. I'm not a cheese guy, and I even liked the mulita! The hot sauces are necessary here because of the thickness of the cheese, though. The best option I've found for the torta was carnitas. The bun was buttered and grilled, there was avocado in the filling, and it was only $6! The burrito was unremarkable. However, it was deceptively filling for its size! Conversely, the sope wasn't very filling, but it was certainly tasty! It came with a crisp, thick tortilla and was topped with refried beans and fresh cheese. Tacos de papa are a great option for my vegetarians out there. The shells were fried and crisp, the potatoes were soft, and the toppings were fresh! Three tacos are $4.15, four tacos are $5.51, a torta is $6, and a mulita is $5.51 after taxes. I love a good deal! The parking lot is small, and you do have to drive through a couple of crowded (with parked cars) residential streets when you leave because the parking lot is one way. You're better off finding street parking on Delta or Wardlow. read more
