Food is always good! Tacos de papa, California burritos are my go to. I tried their mulita and asada fries also good. Service is good and they're pretty quick. They offer phone orders

Lang B.

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

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.

So far so good, been a local for about 2-3 years I think. Chorizo tacos haven't failed me. They are really tasty and have a nice juice flavor that wants you to keep munching. I would also recommend the tortas that they sell there. I am still anticipated of trying out the asada cheesy fries since there hasn't been much word of mouth or decent shots on how big the plate is (since Tams on Anaheim in Long Beach have the best big plate of chilli cheese fries for 6.50 something) read more

This place is legit for amazing tacos. They started off as a market but now they have a food truck right outside! The carne asada is flavorful not like how other tacos spots are just plain! I often come to buy carne asada to take to family parties since it comes marinated. I also get buche and have them make it crispy! It's the best I've tasted!!! Must try and I highly recommend it!!! read more

Vera's Tacos are my go to place for a asada burrito, the seasoning they use keeps the flavor popping and having me come back for more. Another thing is I like how every bite of my burrito has meat in it. The spicy avocado salsa is so bomb, it's a must with their food.

Been here a couple of times to try their tacos. Food in general is pretty good, wife and kids love it. Wife has picked lengua, asada and buche meat, I always go for the asada, you can't miss it here. My daughter also loves the quesadillas. Only reason I'm not giving a five is that I need to try more plates to verify their consistency with the taco quality. It has good parking but it might get full, specially on high peek hours. I sure can recommend this place to friends and family. Most likely will be going back this weekend. read more

Family operated market with lots of good stuff and great prices. They have lots of meats, cheeses, and fresh chicharron. They also have a taco truck with tacos, burritos, quesadillas, sopes, and tacos dorados de papa. So far, I've had their tacos de papa. They were crunch, seasoned well, soft in the middle, and with a generous helping of queso fresco and crema on top. The salsa was nice and spicy and their agua de jamaica was legit. My daughter had a cheese quesadilla-- basic, and an horchata- the horchata was tasty and real. Can't recall the prices except for the tacos de papa, which I will be buying on the regular @ a modest $4.00 for a plate of 4. Finally, legit Mexican food and groceries in LB! I would have given it a 5 but their fruit selection is scarce. They have parking, take cards, and give you a paper bag if you forget to bring your own. read more

I haven't actually been to this taco truck, but my mom would pick up tacos on her way home from work. Presentation-wise, the tacos are pretty standard: 2 corn tortillas with your selection of meat. Onions, cilantro, pickled veggies and salsa are on the side. There's also this creamy green sauce that I've never had before. It's pretty dang good and has a nice kick to it. Taste-wise, the tacos are delicious. I've had carne asada, and al pastor, and both are tender and flavorful. With a good helping cilantro, onions, salsa and a squirt of lime, you're in taco heaven. I've also had their mulita and it was pretty decent. Tacos are the item to get though. read more

They bring out chips and salsa which was great since they will take a while to get your food. Other tables that would come in later would get their food sooner. I got the green chilaquiles thinking it would come out sooner but it was the very last thing to arrive. My partner got their food before mine and I still sat there as other tables for their chilaquiles first. It took about 20 min get our food. The chips and salsa they give table side are tasty. Don't eat too much of it esp if you get the chilaquiles since it's a lot of chips. The salsa is not spicy at all! My partner got the Birria omelette. It was pretty good but the egg itself was a bit overcooked. It was a strange combination but the Birria was tasty by itself. He would come back to try the meat in a taco. Could have used some sort of lighter element. Everything was too savory on the plate. The plate was screaming for something fresh on it. The cafe the olla was so good. A little on the sweet side but that is what is is. The chilaquiles were good too. I would say maybe add more salsa or get something else because it was way too much chips. This is def something you would share for the table a not got for yourself. I would come back to try something without chips. It's really cute inside. So well decorated but I can see how they can have a wait if it fills up since it got fully crowded while we waiting for the long wait to get out food.

People leaving one and two stars for issues such as not having online ordering, or being a restaurant that isn't a silent zone or kid free simply isn't right.

Shout out to Jakob for being the sweetest and most helpful server. Amazing service! We knew what we wanted - brussel sprouts, cheese curds (squeakers) with marinara and a double pepperoni & mushroom pizza with ranch and hot honey on the side. Brussels were solid. Lots of fresh grated parm on them. Squeakers (cheese curds) were crispy and yummy. The star - the marinara!!! Perfect flavor - sweet and savory at the same time. Delicious! Then the pièce de résistance - the pizza. Delicious crust, crispy pepperoni and real earthy mushrooms. What took this pizza to the next level? Their house made ranch and their hot honey to dip it in! Bomb! How has this place only been open 100 days? Found it on TikTok and it did not disappoint! Extra star for impeccable music selection and beautiful minimalist pizza parlor decor. Gorgeous wood everywhere!

We took my son here with…read moreour friends and I was almost nervous based on how fancy the place seemed but the staff was extremely outgoing and friendly, making sure we got coloring pages, kids cups, and even gave him a dessert after our meal. Truly the best pizza and parppadelle wagyu pasta I've ever had. And I kid you not, one of the best iced teas as well. I can't wait to come back next time I visit long beach!

I loved Marlena for dinner so much that I had to come back for brunch. I'm actually not a fan of…read morebrunch or breakfast foods in general, but I had a feeling that Marlena could change that. I got the biscuits and gravy, lemon ricotta pancakes, and breakfast pizza. The biscuits and gravy were SO GOOD, I just wish they gave me more! I might've been in a food coma all day though. The biscuits are very buttery, and the gravy is very thick, so it's a decadent and heavy breakfast for sure. The lemon ricotta pancakes were light, fluffy, and bright. I enjoyed them a lot compared to a classic pancake. The breakfast pizza was awesome. Charred pizza crust, topped with hollandaise, good bacon, and few leafy greens to make you feel better about yourself. I enjoyed everything with a fresh orange juice mimosa and thoroughly enjoyed my brunch by the bay.

A couple minutes later, the hostess working on 7/3 gave our reserved outdoor table to a couple who just walked up. We were then told we'd have to wait if we still wanted to sit outside. If reservations aren't going to be honored, there's little point in making one. After such poor service before we were even seated, we decided not to stay and took our business elsewhere. Very disappointing.

Vera's Taco Shop in Long Beach is a spot that should be on every taco lover's radar. Tucked away in the heart of the city, this unassuming eatery delivers big on flavor and authenticity. The tacos and wet burrito here are nothing short of amazing. Each one is crafted with care, using fresh ingredients that make all the difference. Whether you're a fan of classic carne asada, tender al pastor, or something a bit more adventurous, Vera's has something for everyone. The tortillas are soft and warm, providing the perfect base for the flavorful fillings. One of the standout features of Vera's Taco Shop is their generous portions. You definitely get your money's worth here, and then some. The service is quick and friendly, making it a great spot for a casual meal that doesn't skimp on quality. read more

They always manage to mess up my order! i always have to check my food to see if it's correct. Pls have your employees check the orders before handing it out. i ordered a california burrito just an hour ago and i received a burrito with nothing i specifically asked for. I understand there are times where the truck can be busy and human error can happen but this one time it wasn't busy at all. i also waited 15 mins for a wrong order. read more

The lady in charge with the glasses is a fucken bitch! She was so rude, I asked her a question and she gave me such a bad attitude, just because she has a business doesn't mean you have to be nasty with people, seems like she has a stick up her ass! read more
