    Very nice , very clean, great customer service. I forgot to take a picture of my food, but we got tacos, regular asada and birria asada with cheese, a veggie burrito and piña frescas. We were also given fresh chips and salsa, two types of salsa. We were offered a second round of chips but when they came out they were burnt. The waitress did offer to make new ones though, but we declined. I really loved how clean and nicely setup they were the most, but I would still also recommend to give their food a try!

    I live in the neighborhood and was walking by and saw a sign for Chilaquiles on the window and had to give it a shot. Most important thing first, food was great. The chips were perfectly sauced, my carnitas were as flavorful as I'd expect them to be. Great dish. Even more importantly though, the customer service is phenomenal. The girl Mona who was working the front was very welcoming and obviously loves her job. She was attentive without being too much, just fantastic. It's a small but adorable place. They have a cute Instagramable wall for pics for ppl who do that sort of thing. It was nice having a leisurely Sunday breakfast at a cute little spot in my neighborhood. I'm definitely going to coming back and trying more options. Hmm....birria chilaquiles?

    Had the Chilaquiles  took the kiddos after church  My daughters had pancakes and another had fijtas.

    The birria Plate
    Jessica O.

    I got the Birria (Goat) plate it was delicious and I tried both the salsas they were delicious as well. They serve you a lot & the price is so reasonable. Mona my server was such a sweetheart. I will definitely be coming back soon.

    Sooo goood and the service is excellent!!!

    Food was delicious.. services excellent!! ..unlimited salsa and chips and the best part of it too is the Agua Fresca.. We got the pineapple and it's free refill..

    Birria lunch combo #5

    This place is a 10/10, clean environment, friendly hospitable service , quick on getting the food out, I got the lunch combo #5 of 3 quesa birria tacos , it was reasonably priced with great portions even consomé, and chips/salsa while you wait . Salsas tasted fresh , will be back again !

    Enchiladas Verdes

    Food was fairly priced especially for the portion you get. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. The vibe gives off hole in the wall Mexican restaurant and the food definitely drives it home. I will probably be coming here more often due to the nice vibe, excellent service and tasty food.

    When you get inside it's a place where you order and then find a seat. We got here on a Saturday…read morebefore noon and it was already packed but no wait to place our order. First of all one of their workers with the mastche and tattoos is so cute which is always a plus for the ambiance. It didn't take long to get our food. About 5 minutes and they brought it out to where we sat since we dined in. First of all! You need to get an aguas fresca. We got the medium for the orange mango and the Jamaica. They are so natural. I'm a huge fan of artificial flavor so this was a huge shock, but it pairs so well with their food. My only regret isn't getting the large. For the food we got the burrito 2.0 asada and the chivichanga chicken. The burrito was great but very heavy on the beans. Make sure you get extra green salsa. It's their best and a perfect balance of salty with a hint of sweet. The red salsa gets spicy. If you can't handle hot Cheetos don't eat it. Now the chivichanga thing was perfect. It's so tiny but the fact it's about $5 was perfect. I have never had something so well priced and portioned before. The way I can describe it if you ever wanted to taste high class Taco Bell that will make you want four more then you need to try it. And I mean this in the best way possible. It's so cheesy and savory and yummy!!! Truly just from these two dishes we will be coming back to try the rest of the menu. Our next dishes is to try the tacos!

    The tortillas tho…read more... Have been hearing a ton about this place, so came to give it a try. Interior is super cute with tons of seating. 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.

    For a chain taco place the tortillas taste like they made them in the back. I tried the 6 mini taco…read moresampler and substituted the mole taco for the Calabacitas vegetarian taco. They were all delicious and they give you the option to sub out anything but the starred items which are fish and shrimp and vegan tacos. They have two vegan options and 6 vegetarian options. Also good for people with allergies and now they serve beer. I had heard they were really good and they did not disappoint. Have to come back and try the breakfast options they sound great. They've got a couple burritos on the menu as well to try. Friendly and helpful guidance from the staff and nice little indoor and outdoor dining area.

    Guisados has a special place in my heart. When I worked in Boyle heights, it was our go to place…read morefor lunch so I was pleasantly surprised to find a new guisados in Long Beach, so close to home. The food is always so good! My go to is the sampler to get a little of everything. The cochinita pibil is one of my all time favorites and the mole poblano. Absolutely delicious!! The service here is good. We didn't necessarily have a great experience though. They messed up our order and we never got it fixed. We just happened to be there when there was a big party there too and it seemed like staff was a bit flustered. I told the workers about our order and they just forgot. We waited for over 15 min and when I went up to ask again, they realized they had forgotten about us and hadn't made our correct order so we decided to leave it and just go. Regardless of that hiccup, the staff were very friendly and they were apologetic about the situation. I would come back for sure and give it another try. The Boyle heights location has always been on top of it and I've never experienced a bad visit so I wouldn't say this location is bad off of one visit. The space is small and has inside and outside seating. We tried to eat outside but that bigger party took up a lot of the seats out there. They have a beautiful mural inside too and we luckily got a table. Overall, guisados is a must and I'm happy there's a location closer to me now.

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. My girlfriend ordered a mojito and it tasted more like a margarita than anything. Our appetizer was okay but for the price you pay you don't get much. My burrito was decent, nothing to write home about. But you could definitely get a better one in Long Beach for $5 cheaper. My girlfriend ordered a salmon special which was about $30. I've never had a more overcooked piece of fish in my life. When the server asked how our food was I informed her the food was extremely overcooked. She didn't seem to care and there was no offer to find some kind of solution. I wasn't expecting a comped dish or anything special, but a little acknowledgement would have been appreciated. I wouldn't reccomend this place but if you're going to the club there and want food I guess this could be a decent option.
