Taco Beach never disappoints! Julio is our go to server and he is on point never missing a thing! My husband goes for the coldest beers in Long Beach and I go for the wings, but honestly, their entire menu is really good. Delicious! We have been going to Taco Beach for YEARS and we have not experienced a day when the service, food or drinks were not up to par. If you have not already tried it give it a try don't be overwhelmed by all of the regulars - it's our home away from home! read more

This is one of our favorite restaurants in Long Beach. It never disappoints! We always get the El Jefe margaritas, and let me tell you, one is enough! They are so good. Some of our favorite menu items are: the Pipeline Burrito w/asada, the Spicy Ramon Burrito (amazing), the Tostado w/chicken and the Reina Salad is really good, too. We have moved away from Long Beach, but when we visit, we never miss the chance to go to Taco Beach. The service is also the best! read more

The food has been downgraded over time Baja fish tacos were a gem . Not they are mediocre at best . My recent visit would be my last . My food was over cooked , fish tacos were over fried and super brown from the outside , tasted like old old oil . The sauces were water with flavor . The service is still okey and the inside is the same like day one . Miss the tacos we use to eat on pine st . read more

Service was very good, the remodel they did looks great. I like the vibe and the ambiance of you just want a cold beer and watch a game and have some snacks. But as far as the main entrée they are very poor quality and flavor. And honestly it's not that hard to make tacos or enchiladas etc. so you gotta really be bad as a business if you can't produce a good taco or enchilada, they both tasted like a TV dinner quality. Won't be coming back. read more

Came here for lunch with a friend.Only one other person in the restaurant now I know why especially when it was taco Tuesday! Music was WAY too loud we couldn't even carry on a conversation. My chicken Tinga taco might as well have not had any filling in it for the amount of chicken they gave you. We both got crispy beef tacos. They were absolutely horrid not sure what they put in the meat, but it tasted awful The fried fish taco was way overcooked. Waitress only came by one time she must've been too busy with the one other person in the restaurant to check on us Will we be back? That is a hard NO this place is way overpriced for what they serve. I will stick with Great Mex down the street. Prices are better and food is a 5!! read more

This place has good salsa and chip. I was in the area and craving some Mexican food. I got their enchiladas plate. It was good. The restaurant was spacious and has a surfer boy vibe. The staff were friendly and chill. Overall, it gave a good beachy feel. The burritos were also tasty. They had own parking lot. Just a chill spot for a quick bite. read more

For airport food? Pretty good. Large enough breakfast burrito to be split, fresh ingredients, generous portion, reasonable price. Would recommend for a quick bite before your flight! read more

Wonderful spot to come and get your chips and salsa fix along with a the great dishes you all know and love... I like that we were able to come with 10 unannounced and they were happy to accommodate, and when more of our friends came, the help actually seemed happy that more came... the service was a 10, the food was an 8, and another 10 for the staff! read more

Came in here for a quick drink with a dear friend and Roni made us feel like family. Friendly, professional and personable. The triple threat of excellence. I will be back. Tha k you Roni! You are amazing!!! read more

Not a bad spot. Open floor plan, clean, and very fast service. Parking is hard in the small lot that they have, so we parked on the street. On Taco Tuesday they have some great food and drink specials. The place was full of other patrons, so they must be doing something right. Tacos were ok. Not particularly flavorful or large in size. I think they are good fodder to have while drinking, but nothing I would go out of my way to order again. They were not particularly discounted either, but they did offer fish and shrimp options, so it all balanced out. A great middle of the road solution if craving Mexican food without a long line in a casual environment. read more

This is a little spot on the corner street. They have decent parking and a nice little outside patio to sit at. Service was great since there weren't that many people there and our waitress was very friendly. Came here on a date on a Thursday evening and ordered the Carne Asada and El Pastore combo plate that came with rice and beans. Rice and beans were decent. The gardeners seemed a little dry and lack flavor to me. Their salsa was delicious though. I also had a bingo and another margarita and that was really good. read more

Taco Beach has that laid-back, good-times energy that just pulls you in. The kind of place where you can grab a seat, order a drink, and not worry about anything. The tacos were on point--simple, flavorful, and just what I wanted. No fuss, just the kind of food that hits the spot. I didn't go too crazy with the menu, but everything coming out of the kitchen looked solid. The bar was moving, and the margaritas were crisp and clean. I even spotted a bottle of AsomBroso behind the counter. I love seeing places that know what they're pouring. What really stood out, though, was the team running the place. Everyone was in a good mood, quick with service, and made it feel like you were among friends. That goes a long way. Taco Beach has its own thing going--easygoing, flavorful, and fun. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Long Beach. --Rick read more

We were so happy to bring our friends from out of town to visit our beloved Taco Beach. We have loved this place for a long, long time. Never have we ever regretted bringing friends somewhere so massively. It was absolutely awful. Everything from the restrooms being disgusting, both men and women's, to the awful, awful, inept service, to food that looked so inedible I simply pushed it aside and didn't even give it a chance. It was so gross. I don't think I've ever not even at least tasted food at a restaurant. It took forever to be given the opportunity to place our orders but even worse, after that, the food took over an hour to prepare. When we inquired about it, it didn't seem like the server related at all, to how unreasonable the wait had been. And when we asked if at least the kids could please get their food, his response left us wondering if he cared one iota about how terribly things were going. My husband kindly offered an "out" asking if they were understaffed. The server replied, "no, we just have a lot of orders coming in tonight". Wild. We've been there before when it's been even busier and we're just not clear as to what the issue was. Chips weren't refilled even after I'd politely asked. No attempts at making amends regarding the delays, etc. And honestly, the shrimp taco that was served was just terrible looking. Slimy, rubbery looking cheddar melted on top. No way. This is a far, far cry from what it used to be. I don't understand why and I'm so, so sad about the turn for the worse. We won't be able to bring ourselves back. It was honestly that bad. read more

Nice location. Easily accessible. Food options are good. Updates menu is nice. Need happy hour. Need to put some ceiling fans outside and a tv on the patio. That would be nice. Service is good. Food is tasty majority of time. Sometimes it can lack seasoning. A happy hour menu would be helpful. read more

Came by myself for a quick lunch in between my classes and I got taco combo plate. I got the grilled mahi and Michoacán tacos. I thought that the mahi was really good. On the hand, the pork on the Michoacán was very tender but I would say it is a bit lacking in flavor. The service was really fast, and it is nice and bright inside--perfect for lunch. They also have a full bar and a lot of TVs for the people who like to watch games. The menu is also well-priced. I'd say I found a cool lunch spot right by my school. read more

This place is ridiculous, they charge for each topping separately. You end up paying $20 for a mediocre burrito. Just because you are at the airport. No thank you! Service is not good either. read more

The atmosphere is upbeat. The food is always really good. The loaded fries and nachos are one of our favorites.

I really want to like taco beach. It's just up the street from my workplace, and they have a good happy hour special. But, their tacos are just kind of bland and average tasting. I got one fish taco that tasted like a fish stick in a tortilla with some shredded lettuce, and an al pastor taco that was very bland. The tacos at Hole Mole are better, but Taco Beach has a better sit down atmosphere to hang out with friends. I'll have to try other items before I give up. read more

The tacos were stone cold. Ordered four el pastor taco's . Meat was in chunks with onion's. No lettuce or cheese. When we'd had them before they were hot and shredded pork with lettuce and cheese. read more

Another walkable, close to my house joint that we frequent from time to time. They have ICY COLD beer *yum* and the food is pretty good. I enjoy sitting at a table by the open windows on a summer day with the breeze coming in. Sippin' on that icy cold goodness. Delish! They tunes are always bumping and they play the best station. 90's on 9 via Sirius XM. (I asked!) You'll love it too if you grew up in the 90's like it did. ;-) The only complaint I have if the owners are reading; it's past time to fix the outside sign. I drive by it multiple times a week and notice it. It would look so much better if you freshened it up! read more

Update: Service is markedly improved as per the last 7 or 8 visits. Food is always consistent and terrific. My only complaint, going back to their first day open, is their Corona beer bottle salt and pepper shakers... the pepper shakers have holes entirely too small to function, so you have to pry the plastic cap off to get any pepper. I've brought this up for years... nothing has changed. STUPID business decision. I don't get it... just use an ice pick to make the holes big enough to make them functional. read more

Taco Beach - Asada Taco, Carnita Taco, and Carnita Quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

Absolutely worst birria tacos I've had 1. About a quarter inch worth of bland meat along the bottom of what seemed like those El Paso crunchy taco shells you see at the grocery store. 2. The consomé, which is supposed to be a cup of the broth the meat was cooked in was this disgusting cup of pure oil. Like they straight up drained the oil from the fryer and served it. 3. Made me sick after. I don't know how you put this under the "Specialties" on the menu and mess it up this bad. read more

Great food, service and ambiance. Christmas time is fun too, as they decorate with lots of lights and decorations.

We found this restaurant at the airport and despite the $16 price tag for burritos, we were happy with our choices. The carne asada had no fat and was placed with a heavy hand inside the burrito with rice and beans if desired. Sour cream and guac are extra, but everything was fresh and filling. read more

My friend and I went there last night for Taco Tuesday. We each ordered 2 tacos from their little taco only menu. We also ordered a Seltzer to share. When the tacos arrived I instantly smelled something bad. I was like what is that smell?! I smelled my tacos and almost gagged. The cabbage must have been bad! I flagged a server down to tell them. He grabbed plate took it away and called our server over. She was so nonchalant and did not even apologize. We asked for our check and went across the street to eat! Ya'll it was so bad the smell lingered!! And I'm not one to make a fuss but I was scared to eat anything else there. Service was already not speedy and then the lack of concern to make it right topped it off! read more

I got the fish taco and Al pastor taco. Usually with the Al pastor there's pineapple but there wasn't any here, maybe they just forgot ‍ the fish taco tasted a little too crispy but still good. Seemed to be only one served for the whole place on a Wednesday night. Overall I'd like to come back and give this place another try! read more

its average americanized mexican food. Not really authentic and not on par with taco surf or Rubio's which arent great but a bit tastier. Pricing is also a bid deceiving and when you order combos vs customized orders which are charged at a premium. read more

They stole from me. My total was $15.44. I gave a $2.00 tip. They billed my credit card $19.44. not sure how that happens. The gave me a side of sour cream that was $3.44. Also when I called they give no way to answer or leave message. This is the only way I can contact them. Check your receipts/ charges. read more
