    The set up outside Hermosa Brewing Co. in Torrance.
    Rebekah B.

    I'm gonna give it a 5 star. The people were super nice and the homemade tortillas are delicious. I tried the pollo, asada, mushroom and carnitas. I must say that the carnitas was my favorite. The salsas were also very good and the habanero was FIRE!!! This place was at Hermosa brewing co in Torrence and it was my first time coming. I will be back.

    Almost didn't write this due to the food being great, but poor service can ruin even the best meal. We visited Smog City at 5:30pm on a Wednesday. It wasn't busy. The menu had no prices. When I asked, I was told tacos were $5, mulitas $7, and a taco combo plate $13. My order totaled $16.50, which seemed high. The receipt later showed $15 plus tax. When I questioned this, the cashier advised that asada was more and the owner was condescending instead of deescalating the situation, making patronizing remarks, and telling the cashier he didn't need to explain himself. He even claimed this was their first negative experience in 5 years. It was literally over $2 and could have easily been remedied but his immaturity and inability to understand how the customer is right, ultimately led to this escalating. After requesting a refund, the owner struggled to find my order in the system and eventually offered cash. He then gave me the food anyway but insinuated I was at fault for inquiring about the pricing and overcharge. Another couple joined us and experienced a 25 minute delay with their order, which was deemed lost when inquiring with the team and needed to be re-fired. The food was solid, but the owner's alpha attitude was uncalled for. He handed me his card, suggesting I find them on Yelp, and later sarcastically wished us a great night as we were leaving rather then let cooler heads prevail and coming by to see how everything was an to apologize for his ego.

    Happy camper when she gets Buddha Boy Tacos for dinner!

    I LOVE Buddha Boy Tacos! Not sure what my favorite thing to order is because I love it all. I usually stick to one thing once I find something I love but I've never been disappointed when I switch up my order with them. A few of my favorite things are the tacos (duh), Carne asada nachos, and the mulitas. You can taste the freshness and quality! I usually have them at a local brewery but I also attended a wedding and they were the caters! The presentation was beautiful! I loved the set up they did and again the flavor was just delicious! They always have the best people serving as well, they are so sweet and provide great service! You won't be disappointed with Buddha Boy!

    Al pastor mushroom and chicken taco along with amazing side salad

    Amazing! I meant to take a picture, but I ate the tacos too fast. . Luckily my wife took a photo before clearing her plate I tried all the proteins, and all were delicious. My favorite was the pollo asada and carne asada. Add that to the homemade tortillas and you've got a match made in heaven. So so good. Very friendly owners, great service, fantastic food. Definitely had to write a review.

    I finally got to writing a well deserved review for BBT's handcrafted culinary creations. The passion that founders, Marcus and Lexi, put into their casual yet gourmet-eats experience continues bringing me back for more to lay down some F-words..."Fresh, Feisty and Flavor-filled!"...Oh, did I mention the handmade tortillas? I like ordering my picks well done til there's crispy crunchy cheesy/meaty crust at the edges of my every bite topped with plenty of their signature BBT Creamy Cilantro Green Sauce...Muy muy tasty. I actually got to meet, "El Buddha Boy".

    Deep discussion on food. Impressed enough to stop and chat

    This is as good as it gets. I was introduced to Buddha Boy Gourmet Tacos at a friend's party. I was beyond impressed. Last week I was putting together a party for my wife, last minute planning of course and reached out to Buddha Boy. They were amazing, super responsive and easy to work with. They showed up on time and had no problems setting up in a smaller space. Marcus was head chef with a crew of two others. I wanted to impress my friends and they did just that. Most are foodies in the most extreme way and Buddha Boys quality of food, hand made tortillas and fresh dips, sides and veggies with a variety of delicious proteins made the experience magical. I honestly would give out more stars if I could. This is only for those looking to impress and have a premium food experience.

    When the craving hits, it's always tacos!…read more I stopped by Tacos El Goloso on PCH and ordered a mix of street tacos (carnitas and al pastor) along with the tacos dorados de birria. I've been here before, and the birria tacos were exactly what I needed for a late-night craving. Crispy on the outside with a good amount of filling and strong flavor - they really hit the spot. I ended up having four of them. The consomé on the side was really good too - rich and flavorful, almost something I could've just had on its own. The street tacos were solid. The carnitas had that tender, slightly crisp texture, and the al pastor added a bit more seasoning and contrast. Nothing overcomplicated, just straightforward and satisfying. Service was friendly, and the setup is quick and casual. In the South Bay where places tend to close early, it was nice that they were open until around 10pm. Overall, this is a no-frills taco spot where the focus is on the food. Easy choice when you're in the mood for tacos.

Today we got consomme, chips, and cucumber agua fresca. But the drink tasted a little on the stale side as if it's been there for days and not replenished daily. Not sure what happened. Usually it's on point but somebody dropped the ball. So taste the agua fresca before you walk away to make sure it's freshly made (fyi). Otherwise, food is great and consistent. Service: sometimes it's good sometimes not just depends on the day I guess. Ambiance: busy, always busy so maybe call or order online if you don't want to wait.

I woke up early to lounge and go for a dip at Hermosa Beach. After 3.5 hours, I was hungry and looking for something closeby, filling, and refreshing. Service was friendly, quick and overall solid. No major complaints. I absolutely loved the tacos I ordered: Pescado, Tinga, and Papas con Chorizo. The last two tacos had a little kick of heat to them which were enjoyable; I seriously considering purchasing more for takeout cause that's how awesome they were. I also got the Armando Palmero (2/3 Limon, 1/3 Jamaica) - perfectly tart and really complemented the savory flavor profile of my tacos of choice. The only callout I have is that the countertops and tables could be cleaner, but I shouldn't be too critical about this since I came in right after the lunch rush prior to any cleanup from said rush. I'm already looking forward to the next time I'm in the area because I have the melon & horchata agua frescos top of mind.

It's a bit tight, but having dedicated parking is still a huge plus. To Start: They kick off the meal with complimentary chips paired with three distinct salsas: a rich red salsa with a good kick, a bright salsa verde, and a fresh pico de gallo. Every single one was full of flavor. The Main Course: Veracruz Fish: Hands down the star of the night. The white fish was cooked to absolute perfection and paired seamlessly with sautéed vegetables, rice, and beans. A must-order, Chicken Enchiladas: Exceptionally flavorful with well-seasoned, juicy chicken. A special shoutout goes to the rice and beans--they easily hold their own as standalone stars on the plate. Chile Relleno: Well-prepared and tasty. While it wasn't my personal favorite of the night, it's a solid choice if you love traditional rellenos. Shrimp Cocktail: Generously portioned with plenty of fresh shrimp and avocado, though the sauce base wasn't quite to my personal taste. All in all, Maderos is a true gem delivering vibrant, authentic Mexican cuisine. We will definitely be back!

I like to bite into the burrito and it be crispy bc of the bacon, and I usually never have to ask anywhere else for this. The eggs and cheese were okay. I just had really bad heartburn afterwards. Not coming here again for breakfast burritos, I don't recommend them. Service is always great. It was an early Sunday morning and they do get a lot of foot traffic since they are right there on the pier. The spot is very small to order. If we are dining in, I usually prefer either of the PCH locations.
