Great juicy flavorful chicken tacos, best tacos ever. best salsa I've ever had in awhile and added so much to the tacos. It's slightly expensive but honestly worth it. 4 chicken tacos 4 life read more

Guisados has a special place in my heart. When I worked in Boyle heights, it was our go to place for 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. read more

It's my first time here; the food is good, but the service is terrible. The Latina woman with glasses is extremely rude and has a bad attitude. She was in a bad mood, and that's not the customers' problem; if you don't like your job, look for another one that makes you happy. It is sad that owners leave their businesses in the hands of people with a bad attitude. read more

For a chain taco place the tortillas taste like they made them in the back. I tried the 6 mini taco sampler 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. read more

Guisados - Sampler mini tacos - Tacos Near Me - Long Beach, California

Some of the absolute best tacos I've ever had. The cochinita pibil in particular is one of the most flavorful things I've ever tasted. I will say it's not necessarily "authentic" casual Mexican food but more fancy and "New Mexican". Regardless of that, this place is outstanding and highly recommended. read more

Really delicious tacos! The service was really nice and answered all of our questions. I will say there is very limited seating, they only have a small outdoor seating area so it's definitely more of a place to get takeout from. The tacos were a little pricey for the size of them but they were very tasty! read more

Continuing on to finding "thee" breakfast burrito (you can see my last review), this one was much tastier than the last place. The bacon in this burrito was good. My main complaint was the size. I'm not sure the picture does it justice but it was quite small. When I took it out of the bag I was pretty surprised (and disappointed) at how puny it looked. The guy helping me was nice and I'm not ruling out going back to try something else but for $10.50 I won't get the burrito again as the price didn't match the size. I would say it was worth $6ish. read more

Guisado opened up a new location by my house a while ago and i finally got to try it again. The food was extremely fresh and lived up the legacy of the original location. The restaurant is a smaller little building but has a nice outdoor patio and a few indoor seating options. The cashier was a great help in us deciding what types of meats to go with, and our food was brought fairly quick given the rush. Our total was about 50$ for just 7 small street tacos and drinks but it was definitely worth it and would go again! read more

Love this tacos spot! I always passes by this place since it's in my neighborhood. Decided to visit for lunch by myself. Glad I went during non busy hours because I was able to meet the owner and got served quickly. He kindly explained to me what's in their tacos and which one was his favorite. Super friendly made me comfortable while eating. My personal preference lean towards the Bistek en Salsa Roja consisting of steak, tomatoes, and red peppers. The other one I ordered is the steak Picado. Small tacos for $4.50, but they are packed with meats. I got full from one taco. Very good and didn't disappoint me. Menu options offered pork, chicken, chorizo, and even vegan. The hibiscus flower tea is so refreshing! Took the rest home and added some lemonade. They had outside seatings. Super cute! Was a bit windy so I just sat inside. Definitely enjoyed my experience and can't wait to go back. read more

WOW! I have heard of this spot for a while but finally had a chance to come try it out. First off, cozy yet upbeat spot for tacos and burritos. I'd comfortably come here for a business lunch even, if you want something light and casual for the vibe. I ordered the strawberry horchata and it was so very difficult not to chug the entire thing! It's that delicious! Sweet, fresh, creamy and sweet. I even bought the horchata mix to take home because I can't wait to add it to my morning coffees and cocktails. I ordered for food the sampler and customized it (6 mini tacos): 1. Chicharron 2. Mole 3. Cochinita pibil 4. Chuleta 5. Tinga de pollo 6. Calabacitas My personal favorite were Chicharron and chuleta, but they were all amazing and full of flavor! My friend ordered vegan tacos and she said her favorite was the vegan peppers! 10/10 , new favorite taco spot. Can't wait to try the chile relleno taco next! As far as customer service: so friendly, welcoming and attentive! Felt right at home. read more

I've been a fan of Guisados since they opened their original location on the border of Boyle Heights and East Los Angeles in 2010. Since that time, they've expanded to ten locations from Burbank to Beverly Hills to Long Beach. This location in Long Beach is off Redondo and Anaheim. Guisados are slow braised stews and meats. They have a fresh spin on tacos and it's nice to be able to eat the juicy meats in their corn tortillas. For first time visitors, I highly recommend trying the "OG Sampler", which allows you to have 6 bite-sized tacos of their best sellers. You get two beef (steak picado, bistek en salsa roja), two pork (chicarron, cochinita pibil), and two chicken (mole, tinga de pollo). It's the best way to understand what this place is about. They do have several vegetarian friendly options and, if you're vegetarian, then they have a sampler that you can enjoy as well. Occasionally, I'll order their full-sized tacos. My favorites are their cochinita pibil and their tinga de pollo as they're juicy with a little bit of a kick; however, I do enjoy their shrimp fajita taco as well. Prior to their expansion, their east LA/boyle heights location was a five-star experience in 2010. With their expansions, the challenge has always been with being able to transcribe the experience to every location. While the vibe has changed a little, I'm appreciative of the fact that they still have pretty good, stewed meat tacos. I'm glad that I can enjoy this in Long Beach, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants something different than a carne asada taco. read more

Guisados is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. The tacos might not be the fanciest to look at, but they're packed with flavor and always hit the spot. They remind me of the meals I grew up with, which makes them even more comforting, and they're always ready quickly. The prices are a little higher than your average taco spot, but the freshly made tortillas and rich, homestyle flavors make it worth it every time. I usually order delivery, but on the occasions I've gone in, the staff has been friendly and efficient. Their outdoor patio is also a nice surprise, it feels like a little oasis tucked next to a busy street. read more

Juicy, flavorful, and great portions! Whether you sit inside or enjoy the peaceful garden space, you'll find yourself right at home and even more thrills once your food arrives. For years I went to the location near Dodger's Stadium and was pleasantly surprised to learn of the Long Beach location. Enjoy take out, catering, or dining in; the tacos will not disappoint. The staff is helpful and will elaborate on options available. They take pride in the work and it shows with the flavorful tacos made. I love the steak and mole ones the best so far. Can't decide? Enjoy their taco samplers! There's both veggie and meat options read more

The Guisados in Long Beach is definitely a vibe. First off there's parking in front of the restaurant and if they ever ran out- you can park at the grocery/ parking right next to it. How awesome that you can see your chefs cook your fave tacos, the merch is also defined on point. This spot has plenty of seating compared to the OG Guisados for sure. Some tables and some outside seating. We definitely loved the sampler- you get 6 mini tacos of the beef, chicken, pork and veggie flavors for less than $12. We caved and got regular sized tacos after of our faves! Chiccharon, Tinga de pollo, Beef Picado. The chorizo quesadilla was also a hit with my kids and for sure they'll ask for next time. The tostada ceviche is refreshing and good. It is actually one of my faves to get at Guisados. The agua frescas- I always love the Horchata here. I have tried the cold brew but this time chose the pumpkin horchata and I'm glad we did. The service- consistently amazing. read more

Taste good but they need to more food in the taco. Huge tortilla and they put more beans than meat.

Honestly such an underrated spot. I went to their Boyle Heights location years ago, expecting your usual grilled meat taco offerings, only to find out their signature cooking method is to braise their meats. Braising brings out so much more depth and complexity of flavor. They have a taco sampler which is a great introduction into their most well-known menu items. For me, the Cochinita Pibil is literally addictive - the mild still has a good amount of heat, but it's the perfect complement to the sweet pork. Just recently tried their breakfast burritos too, the bacon was perfect. Cold brew horchata or the agua fresca... it's just all so good. read more

Tacos, Ceviche Tostada, and Horchata Cold Brew were delicious as always. The big let down was the burrito. Lacking a lot of flavor, and definitely smaller than you'd expect when you see the name burrito. Other than that, the restaurant is nice, cool location in Long Beach. Service is great as well, they brought our order to our table and checked in on the food before we left. I do recommend coming here but stay away from the burrito, there's a lot more flavorful items on the menu read more

I'm not that guy, but today I'm that guy. This is their breakfast burrito. This is the saddest burrito I've had in my 47 years of existence. I tried this place when they opened here in LB and wasn't impressed. Tried it one more time and this is what I got. ...fool me twice, shame on me! read more

Big fan of Guisados! I started going to the original Boyle Heights location and have been hooked ever since. I usually stop by the Pasadena spot when I'm nearby, and now I'm a regular at the Long Beach location too. Honestly, everything I've tried has been amazing--sampler plates, ceviche, shrimp and fish tacos, all so good. The aguas frescas and tamales are definitely worth getting as well. Staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the vibe is great every time. Consistently delicious food and good energy. Highly recommend! read more

This was my first time visiting Guisados in Long Beach, and it was a great introduction to their menu. At the recommendation of the helpful lady at the counter, I went with the taco sampler, which ended up being the perfect choice for a first visit. The food came out quickly and each taco had an impressive depth of flavor. You can really taste the care that goes into the slow cooked fillings and sauces. The server was super helpful in guiding me on what to try and even lit the space heater on the patio, which was a thoughtful touch on a slightly chilly night. If you've never been to Guisados, I highly recommend starting with the sampler. I'll definitely be returning to try more of their taco selection. read more

Food - 9/10 We got the sampler platter, a couple individual tacos, the ceviche tostada, and a couple aguas frescas. The sampler was great to try many tacos without much commitment, highly recommend. The pescado taco was good, fish was fresh and the rest of the flavors were balanced. Our favorite was the cochinita pibil, it was so good we got another individual taco. The citrus flavor on it is just perfect. Price - 8.5/10 At a glance, I thought $4+ per taco was excessive but let me assure you the cost is totally justified not only in quality but in flavor. The sampler platter for $12 is a good deal as well. Overall, eating for this cheap in SoCal is rare. Ambiance/Service - 9/10 The service was great. Amicable people. The ambiance was nice too, their patio is cute and cozy. Overall highly recommend whether you are a local or visitor. read more

Ordered on DoorDash On DoorDash with all the fees and tips it can become a bit expensive ordering food online. I chose Pollo Tinga, Pollo Tamal,Veggie Taco, Fish Taco & Habanero Salsa this includes free Pico De Gallo and Crema. Let's talk about the food. Pollo Tamal -- Chicken Tamale. The chicken was highly seasoned and tender and the masa was tender and flavorful I would buy this again. 8/10 Pollo Tinga Taco Spicy|Chicken Taco. Soft and tender corn tortilla flavorful chicken it was very good. 8/10 Veggie Taco A medley of grilled veggies and a drop of salsa verde it was ok and needed a more flavor. 7/10 Pescado Taco -- Fish Taco I didn't like the presentation it was way to messy - the fish lacked flavor had an odd taste and in my opinion was undercooked and spongy not good at all too with much cabbage and whatever that sauce was it wasn't good. 3/10 Side of corn tortillas delicious tender and fresh tasted homemade. 9/10 Habanero Salsa spicy and so good on those tacos and tamale. 10/10 Condiments Crema was bland 2/10 Pico de gallo 8/10 Habanero Salsa - spicy and soo good 10/10 Salsa Verde - creamy and so good. 8/10 It's never personal.. Overall my take on this restaurant is good my issues with the fish taco was mine and based on the other reviews seems to not be the norm always remember taste is subjective so come out and experience this food for yourself. On the way home. Stop by the Long Beach aquarium it's in the area you can walk off the food with this amazing adventure you will thank me later. Bye for now! Just me Shawn C. read more

I have all the positive words in the world to say about this place. It was so good that the first day I tried it, I went back the very next day for more. Food? It is easy to see they put quality and care into the food they give out. I highly recommend the mole and bistec rojo tacos! Those were so juicy and flavorful To add, the service is very friendly and the outside patio is shady and provides a very calm ambiance outside of a very busy street.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and I finally decided to treat myself to a solo date night--and it was absolutely perfect! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly and helped right away. The staff was incredibly friendly and took the time to answer my questions and offer suggestions since it was my first visit. I ordered two tacos: shrimp and chicken mole. Both were excellent, but the shrimp taco stole the show for me--it was spicy, flavorful, and exactly what I was craving. I also tried their fresh melon juice, and it was so good! I chose to sit on their back patio, which was beautifully set up with string lights and heaters, making it cozy and inviting. It was so nice and a great space to enjoy a peaceful meal. I've already told so many people about this hidden gem. I was surprised it wasn't busier for a Friday evening--Long Beach is definitely sleeping on this spot! I can't wait to come back and try more from their menu. Highly recommend! read more

I've been a huge fan of Guisados for years. This was my first time stopping by the Long Beach location. Guisados is consistently great across all locations. All of their tacos are amazing which makes it hard to choose. The sampler is a great option because you get to try 6 mini tacos. For my visit this time, I had both steak tacos and the quesadilla. The tacos have tender slow cooked meat and a lot of delicious flavor. I love their horchata too. The employees at this location were friendly. We enjoyed our tacos on their outdoor patio.

Guisados is a staple of LA and I'm thankful for a location in Long Beach. Came here on a Monday afternoon to have lunch. We ordered the sampler platter, elote tamales, chicken tamales, and the ceviche. The sampler platter is great because you can choose any 6 that you want or default to the first two of each protein (chicken, beef, & pork) The tamales were super delicious. The elote felt more like a dessert because of how sweet it was. I enjoyed the ceviche. Light and refreshing. I do prefer shrimp but the white fish was pretty good. Staff were great and I love the local support for the people of LA. Love supporting a business that supports the community. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is really nice. It actually kind of reminded me of eating outdoors in Boyle Heights location. Highly recommend this place. They're very accommodating for food allergens and preferences too! read more
