My wife and I walked to the Long Beach Promenade to check it out. Unlike the Farmer's Market that is held in the same area, recorded music blared from a DJ located at the center of the market, drawing you in. The 20 or so stalls were a mix of food vendors (some freshly prepared, mostly prepackaged) and folks selling crafts, jewelry and apparel. I didn't recognize any vendors from ones that I've seen at previous farmer's markets in the past. It's basically one block, so doesn't take long to peruse every vendor. Vendors were friendly, eager to inform/teach. Didn't end up buying anything this time, but good to know about this, since within walking distance.

And the chicken wings from Shlap Muan were amazing (we got Cambodian Dirt, Jalapeno MSG, Pekang, Water Buffalo, and Spicy Elephant). Shlap Muan had the longest line by far but it moved quickly and well worth the wait. Try the LB Night Market...you'll love it!

Usually there is a massive line to order food here but today there wasn't any. I was able to order and get my food in less than five minutes. The tacos were really good. I paid six dollars for two and they did not skimp out on the portion. I couldn't even really eat my taco properly cause there was so much meat on it. They have a small area next to the ordering window where you can sit down to eat your food. Well not really sit down, you have to stand and eat lol, but I didn't really mind. I definitely want to eat here again next time I come to the swap meet. Some of the other items on their menu look good like the hard shell tacos and the torta. This is a hidden gem and if you haven't tried it, I highly recommend you do.

Just Hot Dogs is basically a little walk-up shack with a drive-through that's been sitting in the same parking lot forever. Businesses around it have come and gone, but this place is still standing. It's a true little mom-and-pop type of spot. I think it's a couple running it, and every time I've been here they've been really nice. More importantly, the food has stayed consistent. They're known for their Chicago-style hot dogs with the poppy seed buns, but they have quite a bit more than just hot dogs. I've tried the roast beef, which comes with the dip, and their fries are really good. They taste like they're made fresh and I'm pretty sure they're hand-cut. They also have things like chocolate-covered bananas and Balboa bars. I got a chocolate-covered banana this time, they asked if I wanted nuts, wrapped it up in foil and had it ready to go. One little thing I really appreciated was that when I told them some of my order was to-go, they actually asked when I wanted them to make it so it wouldn't sit around and get soggy. It's such a small thing, but that's the kind of care you get at places like this. I've been here a few times now, and the quality has always been consistent. The prices are also really reasonable, which feels harder and harder to find nowadays. It has that old-school neighborhood donut-shop kind of feeling where you recognize that it's just a couple of people running their little business and doing their thing. I hope they stay around for a long time. Places like this are getting harder to find, and I'd much rather spend my money here than at another chain.

Been to these guys a hand full of times since last month, great spot for some late night street…read moretacos! They said they're normally there from 7pm to 2am Tuesday through Sunday. Both times we went was during the week. The tacos here are excellent, I normally stick to asada but they have all the normal meats including fiery el pastor, pollo etc. I've seen people ordering burritos also. The asada is juicy, salty, and pretty much everything you want from a street taco. They're two bucks a piece and cash only my friends, you know the drill. Our favorite part of this place is the awesome spread of extra you get for free at the end of the stand. All the radishes, cucumber, onions, limes you want! And they don't just have bags, they have little plastics cups for all the sauces, double points for that. The green sauce is bomb, and the guac sauce is also excellent, not too watery like other taco stands I've been too. Give them a shot if you're a fan of street tacos, you won't regret it!

Was in next door and had drinks so looking for some solid good late night foods. Went here and was behind 3 people but it move quite quickly. Typical taco food truck menu I would say but they do have 2 separate bars: one for the sauces and the other is for the veggies and they have plenty of it plus it well clean and well stocked up. Service is nice and friendly, not bad for waiting. Ordered a burrito ($11) with 1/2 marinated pork (which is quite good), and 1/2 with tongue (interesting, not bad but I wouldn't do it again for the burrito, for taco - yes) w/o cheese & bean - basically meats w/ rice and everything else. The portion is quite HUGE, 2 people can finish w/ that for sure. Overall, it was very tasty burrito w/ a lot of condiments, she even gave me grilled onions with it l, which are sweet & delish. Glad that I decided to stop by to give it a try. Will definitely come back for more.

It appears they may be adding unauthorized tips or hidden fees to transactions. When I questioned the workers about the discrepancy, they refused to explain or fix it and simply claimed they were not the owners. Be extremely careful when paying here.
