    4 tacos lunch special
    Gustavo E.

    Perhaps some of the most mid Mexican food I've ever eaten. Not very clean inside and lots of the upholstery is peeling or falling apart. It's also really hot in here, I think their AC doesn't work or something. We ordered our food and it came out pretty fast. Not surprising considering we were the only people in here. It wasn't anything special, my friend had a Cali burrito and I had the 4 tacos with ground beef. Would not eat here again.

    Shredded beef tacos.

    Okay, so admittedly, the vibes sitting down here were WAY off. The floor and a few tables were dirty, there were no other diners inside. The menus were slightly sticky from probably years of chip grease-laden fingers perusing them. If you have even a remote preference for ambiance, consider eating on the patio or taking it to go. The restaurant just had a funky energy, smelled like old furniture and cooking oil, so maybe don't bring a date or business lunch there. Unless, of course, they are into the kinda neglected dive-y vibe and your whole purpose is to impress them with the deliciousness of the food. Yes, it's greasy. Yes, it's extra cheesy. It's also the best shredded beef crunchy tacos and slathered super deluxe wet burritos. Hands down. Bring a healthy appetite and maybe a bib. It gets messy. For fellow South Bay natives, this is verifiably LBJ's little cousin. The recipes are super similar, if not the same. Gen X'ers and Millenials -- they have our Special C. You can still live and die by their rice and beans. And yes, the chips are whole fried discs and their salsa is still drinkable. And yes, you should still takeout and head to the beach.

    First off, I only came back to this location because of the bad waitress at the other one on Carson. The waitress here named Jazmine and Givanni are ALWAYS amazing; even remembering my order. The super burrito is outstanding!!!! Aneheim and PCH. I'll be back!

    One thing I have to say about this place is the food is still delicious like back in the days . I could not believe it but the only thing that made me mad. I found some hair in my salsa. That was a big turn off, but I ordered 2 shedding beef burritos and 1 chunky beef wet burrito it was fire but they didn't give us any guacamole or sour cream on top of our burrito. I was so mad about that. but besides that the food was good the place needed to be kept up a little bit. They should have the girl work the front counter clean the front area. but the next time I go back, I'm definitely making sure I tell them step-by-step how to make my food.

    Ambiance was your average Mexican restaurant. I only saw two employees; could be why the tables needed bussing. Service was prompt and friendly. The waiter offered suggestions for my cravings. We ordered a huge wet burrito, mini chimmis, rice & beans to go. Everything tasted great! The bag was filled with tostadas and salsa.

They're known for their handmade flour tortillas that have an amazing bite to them. They were just awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand award this week for their excellent, affordable food. One thing that I appreciate about their tacos is that their meats have varied textures. The costilla (rib meat) is a crowd pleaser as you get the taste of the grill/charcoal. They have tripe that is crispy with corn nut texture. Cabeza (face meat) has a stewed texture. Unlike most places in LB, there is two hours free parking conveniently located across the street at the Harvey Milk Community Lot. This is easily one of the best options for tacos in Long Beach and, if you haven't had it yet, then you really should! This is the type of place that we need to support!

We ordered caramelos with the poblanos inside, as well as their horchata. Tortillas are some of the best I've had. Super soft and flavorful from the grill. The fillings and salsa were good too, but it was really wet, and the bean ratio especially compared to the meat, was a little off. Always am going to want more meat. Horchata was unique since it was coconut based. Overall solid spot with patient staff. Tacos La Rueda is still better, but will be back when in Long Beach.

I stopped by on a Friday afternoon and waited about 20 minutes for a table. The wait was well worth it because each dish offered an explosion of flavors. My favorite dish was the birria, with the salmon ceviche as a close second. The mole was great too, but I'd say the other two dishes were more memorable and something I'd return for. I can't recommend the birria enough, as the flavors were reminiscent of what I've had in Mexico, very authentic. The space is small and can feel a bit tight, but sometimes the best food comes from these types of "hole in the wall" places. Ultimately, I'd say give Lola's a try! You can't go wrong with Mexican food!

The soup here lacks the tastebud awakening zip that Don Chato's has. The ono fish taco experience was my fault... I hate fried fish taco, so I had lofty expectations, but due to the fact that I do not prefer corn tortillas, guacamole or raw onions, led to much disappointment since It has all three. Totally my fault. The butternut enchilada was lacking in the expected savoriness... this is being polite. The potato taquito was okay... but I am not a taquito person, so if you are I would seriously encourage you to try it. The star of the table was the Mexican corn. It may not compete with Cornman in Lincoln Heights, but it was decent. I scraped off the onions and toppings on the ono tacos, put the fish on the flour tortillas that another person didn't want, and topped the fish with refried beans, street corn and a but if the chicken tortilla soup broth to make due. When you are driving more than 30 minutes for this experience, I think you would agree that it was less that a proper way to celebrate a birthday. Oh and if there isn't any street parking. It'll cost you about 9 bucks in the lot. I didn't use the restroom, so I cant review its cleanliness. Our waitress was flawless taking orders and delivering food The restaurant itself has a great layout and an outdoor courtyard complete with propane heaters and umbrellas - I loved that... but my favorite part was out front, no not the seating area in the former parking spaces, nope... it was the collapsed woman on the sidewalk, walking her dog with snot running out of her nose because she was huffing some aerosol can of whatever. This truly set the mood upon arrival. Two stars for being close to a lot of other food choices to visit afterward.

I'm not sure what the reason for the attitude was, but as a Black couple we couldn't help but feel unwelcome based on how we were treated. Customer service matters just as much as the food, and no one should feel uncomfortable when spending their money at a business. Because of the way we were treated, we won't be returning. Hopefully management takes feedback like this seriously and works on improving the customer service experience for everyone.

In addition to all those basic menu items they have some stellar creations. I opted for the carne asada plate - simple and not spicy.

The chips/ salsa starter was addictive. Huge basket of fresh warm chips, and a salsa like no other! Chunks of veggies and just the right spice. It was hard to get those chunks on the chips but it was delicious. My carne asada was tasty, a large portion with grilled scallion and rice. I wish some of the "bean soup" had been pureed to be a bit thicker but the broth was good, with a variety of beans. Hubby's dish had an interesting flavor, very spicy. He wished the broth had some rice, though, to accompany it. We could come back weekly to try many more entrees. Their salads sound tasty, too. Service was great.

Very sweet as well. Happy hour menu offered a good amount of items for a great deal. As well as draft beer and cocktails. Regular menu is great as well which we've had before. Food, an order of the tostada both with shrimp and aguachili. Served with two small tostada and handful of crevice on top. Both were quite tasty and very well flavored in the juice. Also two of the street tacos with birria. They were quite small but did have a major punch of flavor to it. And well priced at 2.50 a piece. Of course the crinkle cut loaded fries with added carne asada. Seemed like it was a popular item as every table had it. It was good but a little skimpy with the topping. Lastly the chicken wings, lemon pepper flavor. Six piece tossed in the sauce. It was good but way too salty for my liking. We still enjoyed everything we had. As we got the shot with the jersey earlier, the person who was affiliated with the sponsor brand was walking around with more shot. I must say, it does hit the spot big time...lol...

(Looking at phone the time on their phone). What would you like?" We order. Drinks are brought over along with the check for full price drinks. Me "Can you please fix this check? It's not 6 yet and you are still on Happy Hour, that's why we rushed over." Server "Oh yeah, today we don't have Happy Hour so there is no discount." Me "What so you mean, we ordered these drinks on Happy Hour and now you are telling us there is no Happy Hour as advertised."

We ordered the "made to order table side guac" for 15.50 for an appetizer. About 10 minutes later, a guac is delivered to the table that was either run through a blender or was taken from a tub with a spoonful of pico mixed in. So much for the advertised table side experience or fresh avocado. The guac we buy at Trader Joe's and from Costco are way better. Third Interaction when ordering an entree. I order enchiladas and they have red or green sauce. I ask, Can I get both red sauce on one and green sauce on the other? Response, "well there's an extra charge for that". Besides being lied to about "Happy Hour" and about the "Table-side" Guac and them being told a basic request is going to cost extra, it's is c extremely clear that this place has no respect for their customers and no expectation that anyone will return. I know the 6 local people in our group will never return.
