    Brisket and chile verde pork
    Coco G.

    Visiting my family in Long Beach today, ordered tacos for takeout. They are so generous filling the double tortillas that you can actually split each one into two!! They did not have the chili beef today so I ordered the brisket and smoked chicken and my husband ordered the chile verde pork and the brisket also. My brother went to pick them up and they were ready on time and the staff is helpful. My sister-in-law made a cabbage and kale salad and provided lime tortilla chips with salsa and guacamole on the side and it was a full delicious satisfying meal! We'll definitely be back!! Can't wait to try the chili beef which is apparently packed with super flavor!! Highly recommend!!

    Stopped by this new LB taco spot today and was pleasantly surprised. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavor...and fittingly, the place is called Alma, which means "soul" in Spanish, because these tacos definitely had some soul in them. The smoked brisket taco was the star -- topped with a mild salsa that let all that smoky goodness shine through instead of covering it up. Easily my favorite. The chili braised beef taco (the owner's pick) came with a bright orange habanero-style sauce that brought some heat and a little sting, but in a good way. Best part? I walked out with a smoky, slightly spicy burn lingering on my tongue for a few minutes -- and honestly, I loved it. Kind of a cool after-effect that is likely the product is Smokey slow cooked patience. Plenty of seating with outdoor patios and indoor space, clean atmosphere, and reasonable prices for the quality. I only tried these two tacos today, so there are probably more stars in the Alma sky waiting to be discovered. Good food, friendly service & good experience. I'll definitely be back.

    Service was excellent. Friendly staff who know their menu and will help you choose something if you're unsure! The indoor restaurant and outdoor patio were clean and spacious. If you prefer the outdoors on a beautiful day, the front patio has no cover and the back patio is covered. We ordered 5 different tacos since it was our first time visiting: smoked brisket taco, fish taco, chile verde taco, smoked chicken taco, and creamy tinga taco. The smoked brisket taco was moist and had a good smoky flavor. The fish taco had a crispy crust and it was on the sweeter side due to the pineapples. The chile verde taco didn't have much flavor, but it was lightly spicy. The smoked chicken was Smokey like the brisket but with small chunks of chicken. Lastly, the chicken tinga had a texture that I wasn't familiar with, which made it a bit odd. After all the tasting, our two favorites were the fish taco and smoked brisket. I've heard that the churros were good, so I ordered some. The crunch was perfect, but it had a bit too much sugar for my palette, so after I shook some sugar off, it tasted better! Overall, friendly service and great space. I grew up eating Mexican street tacos, so this fusion of tacos is different and if you're into the fusion, you'll enjoy this spot!

    So happy that Alma's replaced the bagelry. It's important to have epic craft tacos next to Lazy Acres and my CVS. Second time here. Each sauce is different and complex. The Chili Braised Beef is my favorite, with its slow burn, and satisfying tenderness.

    Smoked chicken tacos were delicious my friend got the vegetarian tacos. She loved them. We both had the mango frozen drink, delicious ! Love the prices ! Super healthy, and fresh five stars

    My office staff love coming here. Clean, friendly and delicious tacos! And they love the churros! I think they come weekly. My family loves it as well. It's quickly becoming a well known taco spot.

    Found this place while s shopping in the complex and decided to give it a try. There is plenty of seating available inside, along with additional front (uncovered) and back (covered) outdoor seating. The interior decor is very modern featuring beautiful gold light fixtures and artwork that give the space a stylish feel. At first glance, the menu looks small, but we were pleasantly surprised to learn they also offer a few new options. I'm glad we tried them because every taco was packed with generous portions of meat and incredible flavor. Our order was taken by the owner Ryan, who was extremely friendly and took the time to explain the menu and the new items in detail. The menu itself is also very helpful clearly listing what comes in each taco. I ordered the pork Chile Verde and the Creamy Chicken Tinga tacos. My husband ordered the Smoked Brisket, Chile Braised Beef and Al Pastor tacos. For the kids, we ordered a California burrito and a Kids menu quesadilla with Al Pastor added. We also ordered Chips and Salsa and chose Table Salsa. Starting with the kids- Happy kids mean Happy parents. My daughter loved her Al Pastor quesadilla, it was cheesy soft and delicious. My son enjoyed his burrito so much that he kept showing me the inside and even asked me to take a picture of it because he loved how it looked and tasted. My husband loved all three of his tacos, and I couldn't resist trying a bite of the Al pastor. The meat was incredibly tender and silky. It literally melted in my mouth. My Pork Chile Verde taco was exactly as described- flavorful without being spicy. The Creamy Chicken Tinga, on the other hand, had a nice kick and was absolutely mouthwatering. The chips and salsa were great as well, though I do wish they provided two salsa containers instead of one. We finished the salsa quickly, but still had about half the chips left. Overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for tacos with generous potion, and amazing flavor.

    Great new restaurant. They have amazing food we tried the bean burrito and almost all the tacos. Very fresh and generous street tacos. Very tasty salsa and we ordered extra to douse the tacos. My absolute favorite was the chili meat taco. That one was delicious. I hope they keep their quality longer then just now in the beginning because the tacos are amazing. You can also get a good beer or topo chico to pair which makes it even better. Highly recommend. Great service and clean and nice ambiance!!

    Brisket Taco, cheese quesadilla, chips and guacamole.

    I live in the neighborhood across the street from here. I saw the sign go up a couple months ago for a new taco place. Who doesn't love tacos!? I finally tried it today with my friend who keeps raving about it. She's been at least a half a dozen times; probably more. She LOVES it! Anywho, I got a brisket taco, cheese quesadilla to share and she got guac and chips for us to share. YUM. All of it was scrumptious. The brisket was so tender and tasty. The cheese quesadilla was cheesy deliciousness on a home made tortilla. *drool* The chips were perfectly salty and the guac was very flavorful. I'm picky when it comes to guacamole in restaurants and this is easily #2 in my eyes. The girl cashier was very sweet and friendly. The food came out rather quickly. Oh! They have Coke products which makes it even better (Diet Coke is my #1 ~ I refuse to drink Diet Pepsi HA!). Try this place out. You won't be disappointed. I can't wait to go back and try the other types of tacos plus a bean and cheese burrito.

    Churros
    Tiarra J.

    Update: Updating this to 5 stars based on the churros alone. They absolutely put this place over the top for me. Crispy on the outside, soft and warm on the inside, coated in cinnamon sugar, and served with three different sauces. Every bite was fresh, indulgent, and exactly what a churro should be. I came back specifically for these, and they did not disappoint. 10 out of 10. Do not skip the churros.

    Delicious tacos. Generously filled. Both the creamy chicken Tikka and cauliflower were fantastic.

    Brisket taco without the cotija since I'm milk intolerant but that was delicious!!!!
    joy a.

    I'm writing a review because I was pleasantly surprised by this place. I was looking for street tacos, but we decided to try this place out. The person who took our order was extremely sweet. She was very patient with all of our questions and all of my good preferences and changes since I am intolerant to milk and even though I had to take out some sauces and cheese felt like my two tacos had so much flavor. I have the brisket taco and the fish taco and I am definitely coming back for both of those! My brother had the fries with brisket and my husband had the California burrito and they both were happy with their meal as well. I'm sensitive to heat as well so the avocado salsa was a good option for me. The place was very clean and there's an outdoor area that was very cute with lights up, but it was too cold for us to eat outside since it's winter time. My family is looking forward to going back! I definitely need to work on taking pictures of my food before I do reviews

    Tacos: cauliflower, brisket, braised beef
    Michelle M.

    Incredible addition to the neighborhood; everything was phenomenal. I had the cauliflower taco, the braised taco and the brisket taco as well as the brisket burrito; truly phenomenal food and i've been doing Mexican food for many years and many years in Long Beach at that. I loved the artisanal flair which makes for unique & incredible recipes and food (both fresh & flavorful). Casual ambiance. Clean, bright, cozy but well balanced space (6ish tables?). All staff were pleasant and helpful too! It's extra impressive when it is a brand new spot and they are pretty much perfect without having to work out the standard newbie nuances. Def recommend!

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.

Our service was very slow and the drinks took a very long time to come out. We were some of the only people in the restaurant, so I can't blame it on being very busy.
