First time eating here definitely was different than what l expected . Customer service was good employees were attentive to my needs. The tortillas are made from scratch daily and through the day, the meats are yummy. There wasn't any of the sides that l like for instance chopped onions, cilantro, lime, cucumber,lime, radishes all in all l enjoyed the tacos

I have since come back here almost weekly for tacos and they always deliver such high quality ! But I had to update and say I tried the chile relleno burrito and WOW , a must try. Such a well done chile and burrito over all. Tastes homemade in the best way!

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.

the steak taco is juicy and flavorful. the meat was so good i didn't even notice there was black beans in it

I was shopping over by Guisado's and realized it was 2pm and I hadn't eaten lunch yet! So I dropped in for a few tacos and grabbed a tiny table in the corner. I got one steak taco, one chicken and one shrimp. Although it was my favorite, I wish I hadn't eaten the shrimp first because it was spicier than I anticipated! Delicious, but just know it's a tad spicier than the others. The steak and chicken tacos were so full of flavor and SO juicy. Just a simple piece of avocado on top, no filler stuff. This was the perfectly sized lunch for about $17. I just wish they had a couple options for sides, like esquites, or chips and guac or something. Someone came over and took my plate before I had a chance to bring it up myself, so that was nice. Before I left, I washed my hands in the restroom because they were sticky. Then, I went outside just to see what it looked like, it's so cute back there! I can't wait to come back for breakfast and try tacos next.

Sampler mini tacos

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.

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.

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!

Samantha I.

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!

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.

Pescado, Bistek Roja, Cochinita Pibil

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

Sallie R.

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.

In Tacos we trust.

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.

Food was delicious. I had a cochinita pibil taco that had me wishing to go back to Yucatán, it was that good. I also had the chuleta taco - pork in chile Verde sauce it was good. The staff is very helpful as it was my first time there. My friend had the 5 taco platter where she sampled different types of meats. I will definitely be back and order the Cochinita Pibil. The aguas were good and sweet- had the melon. There are plenty of tables available indoor or outdoor.

1st time visit and checking out what the hype is all about. I drive by it regularly as it's…read more conveniently located on 7th street. Parking was easy. They had 2 ordering options either by a kiosk or at the counter. Counter ordering was ideal for me as a first time guest. I was able to sample some meats and beverages which was helpful in deciding my order. The best drinks were the Horchata and Watermelon. 2 of us ordering meant we each chose one and shared. As for food, my go to is always a burrito. I thought it was really good, especially the homemade tortilla. It was the perfect amount for me, even providing 1/2 as leftovers. It exceeded my expectionations.

About two years ago, I regularly visited this place every Friday and occasionally on Saturdays,…read moredespite the roughly 20-mile drive from my home. At the time, I enjoyed the food and considered the drive worthwhile. However, after the restaurant changed cooks, I noticed a decline in the overall quality and stopped returning. Today, I decided to give it another try and stopped by for a small bite. I ordered the vampiro, but unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. The meat lacked noticeable seasoning or flavor, which was particularly disappointing given the restaurant's claim of cooking with mesquite coals. The tortilla topping also appeared to be more like a pre-made tostada than a tortilla toasted over an open flame. Traditionally, I would expect a lightly charred tortilla, which adds flavor and texture to the dish. Based on this visit, the quality has not returned to what I remember from two years ago. I was disappointed with the food and do not plan to come back to this location or any other for that matter.

El Sauz is THE late-night munchies spot!…read more I've been coming here for years, and one of the things I love most is that they're open late. I've ordered food here as late as 2:30 AM! They have a sit-down restaurant, a karaoke room, and even a walk-up window outside if you're just looking to grab something quickly. They're known for their tacos and their spicy habanero salsa, which definitely is spicy, be warned. LOL If you're dining inside, the chips and salsa are top-tier. Sooooo good and addicting! My personal favorite is the shrimp quesadillas. They're tiny, but mighty when it comes to flavor! I also like ordering their oysters. So far, they've always been clean, fresh, and hit the spot. They also have Micheladas, both the traditional version made with alcohol and a non-alcoholic version made with mineral water. Both are really good, and I highly recommend giving them a try! And for dessert, the rice pudding is served cold, and it's honestly one of the best I've had. Everyone I've brought here has been happy with their food and their choices, which says a lot because I've brought many friends and family here. As far as parking goes, you can usually find street parking, there's a parking lot, and there's also parking behind the restaurant. I will say the neighborhood is a little sketchy, but if you're local, it's really not a big deal. If you're coming from outside the city and aren't familiar with the area, I'd recommend just dining inside. There's a lot of homeless and liquor store activities across the street. It's usually not a big deal, but again if you're not used to it, you may freak out. Overall, El Sauz is one of my go-to spots for the late-night munchies, post concert, club, bar etc.

Del Real Foods Birria is premade birria that tastes better than this, and you can buy it along with…read morea premade bag of diced onions and tortillas from almost any grocery store. We were so excited to try this place but left very disappointed. It was about $2.7 per taco considering 6 tacos were $16.5. So yeah, given the price, there are higher quality options locally. These unfortunately were crunchy, chewy, premade tortillas, cheese not grilled in properly, birria and chicken so dry and stringy and also tasted premade (you can tell when the meat doesn't retain the juice and is dry, and the flavor is stale), and pickled vegetables that somehow didn't taste pickled. The other problem was the portion of the consomé size, which was way too small. The best thing was the grilled onions and consomé because you literally can't possibly fk that up. Although the consomé was a bit too gravy-like, and thick which considering the quality of everything else...was off putting. Ambiance felt fast paced, cramped parking, and a little dirty from being dated but it also had a fun, casual nightlife vibe. The service was fast and kind. They answered questions quick and politely without rushing us out of line. We had really high hopes for this place. This was not a first time either, we tried these guys years ago but even then it was mid. Now it just confirmed it. We do not recommend coming here unless you are craving tacos you can't make at home with premade ingredients, or find at another restaurant.

I can see why this place went viral on tik tok!…read more I saw the special on the sign out front - 13.95 for 3 tacos/ rice / beans / fountain drink and I was sold. I mean...what a bargain! I came at 5:00 on a Wednesday and luckily there was no line. (I've driven by and kept driving because the line was so long...) The guy taking my order was really sweet and prompt . When I couldn't decide on the drink...he mentioned for an upgrade I could get guava drink that they make with guava they grow- SOLD! And it was definitely the right choice-sweet and fresh! I got two chicken tacos and one pastor. The chicken was solid pieces of high quality chicken and so flavorful and moist. The pastor was nicely seasoned. The beans were soo sooo tasty!! I wish I had more-I gobbled them right up!! They have a couple tables outside as well as inside tables. The salsa bar had a nice range of options- I recommend bringing your own container cause the containers they have are waaay too small to enjoy enough of all the amazing salsas. I looove their green lime salsa.

Kique's has an amazing taco Tuesday deal! ($1.95 per taco) It is a small spot and gets PACKED…read moretuesday evenings. When you get there be wary to not wait in the wrong line. There are often two lines, one to order your food and one for the salsa bar. Be sure to make sure you are waiting in the correct line. My go to order is 1 shrimp, 1 fish, and 1 asada taco. My favorite is forsure the fish taco! The asada also has a nice seasoning and isn't greasy or overly cooked. The salsa bar has multiple salsas that are mostly mild. If you prefer spicy salsa you can ask a worker to get you the habanero they keep in the back. Pairs well with the shrimp and fish taco! 9/10
