I had the pipeline burrito with shredded chicken and it was delicious. The service was great, especially our waitress Emma. I have a family of 8 and she was able to find a table for all of us to fit comfortably. Even though we have some picky eaters, everyone was able to find something on the menu (what a relief)! The food and the atmosphere were wonderful and we will definitely be back. read more

Recently had the pleasure of eating at Taco Beach on Bellflower. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the food was great. What made our visit even better was our server Emma! She was so friendly, attentive and helped me choose gluten free options from the menu. Will be back again and hope to get Emma as our server again! read more

This is our fourth time eating at Taco Beach. Each experience has been of the same caliber. The place is clean and the staff are amazing. The portion sizes are generous. The fajitas are enough for 2 to share. Everything is fresh and flavorful. This is our new favorite Mexican restaurant. Bye bye chain locations. read more

Really enjoyed the shrimp and Michoacán tacos. Very flavorful. Nice environment and helpful servers.

ala carte: 2 Veggie tacos with black beans - cabbage for lettuce with super-lime chipotle creama. Yummy! ate one, gave the other away and as it was gobbled down I think she said "that was good, Kate" ;~) read more

Been here 3 times and have enjoyed all of them. Their house salsa is really good, along with the fish burrito and anything with their "diablo" sauce. Nice place just to hang out too. Will be back! read more

Best Mexican food I've ever had! I highly recommend you stop by and try it out! The service was great as well!!

Delicious shrimp tacos, wonderful homemade corn tortillas, good drinks. The service is great as well. Go on Taco Tuesday for taco specials.

The food is good, location is even better. The only problem is the servers don't know what alcohols are available and the bar tenders don't know how to make a drink. Not to mention that drinks take so long to be made (even when it's a slow night) that you get your food beforehand nine times out of ten. Wish it was better I would come way more often. read more

The service at this place is horrible. We arrived at 9:30 AM on a Sunday morning, no one else in the restaurant and it took them until 10 o'clock to get us the food. Ordered a sangria, it came in a stemless wine glass with four chunks of watermelon five cherries, two slices of orange and six slices of cucumber submerged in it. By the time I fished all the fruit out there was less than a half of a glass of sangria left. The egg tacos I ordered had about two tablespoons of eggs in them. With 10 TVs in the restaurant what do you think they would have on the screens on a Sunday morning? No football! We had to ask them several times to put football on any of the TVs and it took them 20 minutes to get one game on. Just two 20-year-old girls working as server and bar tender. This was not our first visit to this restaurant. Generally we enjoy the food but the service has always been slow. However today was just awful all the way around. We will not be back. read more

The food was horrible. My husband and I have been wanting to try out this place we ordered take out and I was disappointed. The carne asada were huge Chunks and not seasoned. The rice was dry. And salsa was awful! Shredded beef tasted like it was made in a crockpot and super oily. Def not going back. Which I'm sad about since we live right around the corner. read more

This place just popped up in our neighborhood, and we love it! Great tacos (especially the spicy scrimp tacos and Ensanada taco). There are a lot of Mexican restaurants around here but this one is one of the best. It has a nice bar selection, wonderful staff and good food. We'll be back! :) read more

Here's my receipt: Server: Kandace For a party of "2" we ordered: 1 Mexicana Burrito...$9.45 1 Taquitos...$7.95 1 Coke...$2.25 1 Raspberry Tea...$2.25 Total: $21.90 Tax: $2.14 Total Due: $24.04 then we tipped: $3.00 =$27.04 It's during the week We went in about 1:52p, it wasn't crowed. We waited to be seated/ The server says we can sit anywhere. Got our menus; looked around the place looks and feels cozy, abundant of TV screens. except if you are sitting facing the front door in the first booth you see a blank wall so you would have to turn toward the bar if your date is boring..to watch the screens at the bar; well my husband was boring so I had to turn and that wasn't comfortable..what? why are you looking at me like that? He was!...let's just stick to the my review ok?..sheesh! ok anyway He ordered the Burrito with Chicken, beans and rice; it had more beans than rice in it-it wasn't too bad. Me, I ordered the 2 Taquitos with beef. it was smothered with cheese over it, I was expecting with a side order like with rice and/or beans, but no just the Taquitos-there were no lettuce shreds nothing on it..hmm I guess I would have to ask for it that way. I looked down and my plate was clean so it must have been good. I might have to give these guys another try. The price was not what we thought but we should have gotten more on our plate. This place reminds me of it just being a sports bar and if you order food well you wouldn't notice of what is not on your plate anyway because that game would be just overwhelming to even care. So if you are looking for a place to restaurant eat..no, this is not the place to go on a first date. Now if you come in wearing your team jersey yep you've come to the right place. ***I give them 3 stars because this was a sportbar portion, who cares what you have or how much you have on your plate-enjoy the game!***Oh and by the way The Angels beat the Cleveland Indians more like they spanked them..it sucks to be them! Go Angels!!!! read more

I have come in here for Carne Asada fries multiple times and they are delicious!! The carnitas plate is also really good, but I wish they cut out some of the obvious fat pieces. The girls have all been really nice when I have come to dine in, and particularly Kandace at the bar when I come in to watch a game with my friends. I am definitely a loyal customer!! read more

REVIEW INTENDED FOR THE DOWNTOWN LONG BEACH LOCATION........ So, on 3/29/2015, at around 12:10 a.m., my girl and I, walk to the security guard, and pay him a total of $10 for entrance. We get to the bar, my girl is wearing and beautiful red dress and her sexy blonde silky hair. The lady bartender looks and us, and gives my girl a dirty look and walks away. We wait a good amount of time to order our first round of drinks, you'd THINK, it's FRIDAY night and everybody is happy. Guest not, finally the bartender decides to walk back after she is finished bending over, taking shots with customers, (getting more drunk), and having a behind the bar party with other lady bartender. She asks what we want to drink. We ask for a sex on the beach, and L.A. Water, the drinks were not even filled with the minimum amount of alcohol, me being a bartender and all. So our second round were two Modelos. I originally opened a tab with my bank card, so I could pay cash later. When it was time to close my account. I payed $26, tip included, and didn't bother taking the receipt since I payed with cash. We bought their fish tacos, 4 total, $8 more. On 3/30/2015, I noticed a charge of $21.80 on my bank account. I said this couldn't be since, I had a $50 bill and payed cash for the entire visit at Taco Beach. I call the place up on my 15 minute break from work, so I could speak to a manager and dispute the charges. I got placed on hold for 20 minutes and no one ever answers back. On 3/31/2015, I call again and there is no answer for my 15 minute break. I call the Los Altos branch and spoke with Sarah, I gave her my information for management to return my call. On 4/1/2015, Beatriz, the manger calls me and tells me she can't do anything about it, because she has a "signed" receipt. I explained to her as I have to all you readers, what the situation was. She said she couldn't do anything about it. The only thing she did say that she would speak to the bartender that I described to her. I said, "The bartender was slurring her words, her legs were folding under her, and her face was flushed in pink, you really think she is going to remember aside from charging my card, after I handed her $26 cash?" So lets make the math.... Entrance $10 Drinks $21.80 Tip $4.20 Fish tacos $8 Total $44 Not bad But after they didn't remberse, the additional $21.80 from my bank card that the drunk bartender over charged me. Total $65.20 Equals a bad review, and a big FUCK YOU!!!! BEATRIZ....hope you get fired, very bad management. ...... I hope none of you have this experience. If your going to have authentic mexican food with excellent customer service.....try Los Compadres. Its about 1 mile north of this shit hole..... read more

Tried it for the first time, great food and service. And the margarita was good too. We live in Torrance and miss our local Mexican restaurant, Taco Beach had salsa that reminded us of our old place. We would go back. read more

So my buddy and I live in the Los Altos neighborhood. We were best friends in high school and always went to go eat at Best Place (the restaurant that used to be there) And when we came back from college for summer break we figured lets give this place a shot. Here's the list of negatives about this place: 1) The chips and salsa are bland. I can make better salsa homemade. They definitely buy there chips from target or something 2) My buddy ordered two carnitas tacos. One was carnitas and the other was ground beef. Even though he wasn't satisfied that they got his order correct, he was so hungry that he ate it anyways without bringing it up to the waitress. 3) I ordered a california burrito that was just piled with fats on fats on fats. Like jesus christ I'm not trying to have a heart attack here! And the salad that came with it was very bland too 4) THIS IS A BIG ONE!!! I ordered a beer. "And to drink I'll have a Shock Top"....wait for it....IM NOT EVEN 21 YET!! "Ok!" the waitress said with a smile on her face. Look down upon me for breaking the law, I don't care, all I know is this place will serve alcohol to minors. I told my friends and they got away with it as well. Might as well pass out flyers to all the CSULB 18 year old freshman on move in day in the dorm halls "Taco Beach! Now Serving Alcohol to Minors!" I mean if that's a tactic thats being used to keep up the business then you guys should be shut down. And even though I'm writing this in September, my buddy and I ate there the week of 4th of July. So who knows how long this under-age drinking has been going on since then. In the end, my buddy and I don't plan on coming back. We'll settle for Taco Bell instead from now on. read more

I've been here to sit down and eat three times. Each time the service was awful! The last time we were sat at this weird end of the bar "table" and we were ignored for over 30 minutes. Waitresses and bartenders would walk right past over and over and not say anything. They would talk to themselves and complain about people right in front of us and still nothing. Finally, a waitress asked us if we had been helped, then yelled for the bartender to help us. She could have easily taken an order. It was absolutely ridiculous. Then the bartender was rude the whole time and seemed mad that we didn't want a second drink. The only time we will come here again is to order food to go. The food was decent and since we live right down the street, we can easily pick it up. No more dining in for us. read more

Taco beach just keeps going up in price and the portions get smaller! Very disappointed because I've been coming here for awhile now. The quesadillas were usually full of carne asada. Now there's barley any carne asada and the little that's in there is dry. read more

We went on Saturday to try the "new" Taco Beach. It was not crowded. We were immediately greated and we were seated in a booth on the side with the bar. We were given menus, chips and salsa and then nothing. The two waitress that were serving this side of the resturaunt never came to our booth. The three booths in front of us all were eating and one of the waitress checked on them several times. Another waitress check on the one booth behind us. Neither of the the waitress ever came to our table to take a drink order, a food order or just to check on us. After twenty minutes we got up and went to speak with the manager. He said he was sorry but that he was short staff. What???? There were people there BUT it was not croweded at all. The problem was a lazy staff. THIS WAS NOT A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION. read more

I have been coming here for about 8 months & lately the service & attitude has dropped. Waitresses getting mad that i didn't sit in there section. Bartenders coming in hung over or worse still sick & contagious. Recently i stopped by & there is adorable Anastacia. This time she isn't adorable she is sick. We ordered a couple drinks, she was in super slow mode but that still did not stop her from rolling her eyes at us. Anyways we also ordered food. She wasn't covering her face with a mask, she wasn't wearing gloves n now i have missed 4 days of work. Now if management or owners condone employees to come in & serve their clientele while they are sick, then that means they are completely negligent. Any employee that comes to work sick while they are contagious they will get unsuspecting customers sick. This is not the first time i have seen employees sick at Taco Beach so I am assuming management nor ownership care & that is why it continues. I will be going elsewhere & i recommend you do the same. read more

The food is good, but it isn't enough to make up for the abysmal service. The girls, while nice, move at the pace of turtles and don't seem to care about sides, preferences, etc. No tip zone. read more

The food is ok. It's not great, and it's not bad. I went in with my family (2 toddlers), and the service was good. They were friendly, and had quick service. The reason I can't give more stars, is because if you live in CA, we have some of the best authentic Mexican food restaurants... and I would prefer go somewhere else for it. The bar looked busy, and they had lots of TV's. I could see how people would go there to watch a game, drink beer, and have some tacos. :) read more

I've been to this place several times and I live near by, I was excited for them to have opened but it's disappointing. The service is horrible, we waited for over 25 minutes to get margaritas and water. I order two tacos with rice and beans and so did my wife and we each just got an ala Carte taco. Service is so slow, also we ordered my son a quesadilla and we got served a quesadilla with no cheese. Who serves a quesadilla with no cheese in it. How hard is this to mess up? Since I've been here almost 5 times thinking they the service will get better and it doesn't, big hands down, skip this place. I would have rated it lower but their is no option. read more

Twice I've gone to this Taco Beach location and twice the service has been completely useless. Never again! Sat there last night for 15 minutes, and no, they weren't busy, and none of the wait staff could be bothered to come and take an order of any kind. They did have plenty of time to talk amongst themselves, though. I thought the first time I visited and the service was sub-par that it might be a fluke. Sorry to say I was wrong. read more

To be fair I tried this place twice, I wanted to love it but hated it. So loud,margarita bad and food horrible both times. On Sunday I wanted to try a cucumber margarita but there was no bartender so they could only serve beer. We won't go back. read more

Not bad food but the busboy threw away my food and drink as I was using the restroom (I had packed to go).

The tacos were not up to par. The taste was just off. All four of us were not happy with the outcome of the dishes we ordered. Food and beers were expensive. It is so much better to head to Hole Mole down the street. read more

We visited on a Wednesday afternoon.The waitresses were cute, food is kinda blah. They are trying to do something tricky with the pastor that falls short and just throws off the natural pastor flavor. Asada fries were the highlight and the steak chunks had good flavor. The fish taco was mostly the crispy outer shell that left me looking for that single bite of actual fish. I would come back, because the waitresses were nice and they provided good service. read more

So good after a great night across the street. Cheap but delicious food. Perfect way to end the night.

Love the white sangria, potato tacos and chips and salsa! Sometimes the service is not as good.

This place could be really good! The menu is broad enough when it comes to Mexican in Socal. They have a full bar and the service has been fantastic every time I've come. They have a bunch of tvs that make it easy to watch the game. My only complaint is that the music is always HORRIBLE! I've been enough to know that every single time the music has been so bad we've had to leave as soon as we were done eating. This is a neighborhood place I'd love to come and have a bunch of drinks at, but with the music, I'm gone after one. Switch up whoever is in charge of the soundtrack there and I would stay much, much longer! read more

This place is right around the corner from my boyfriends house we walk here all the time. At least once if not twice a week. I live in corona so I crave it all the time. They have BY FAR the best Baja fish taco I've ever had. I've tried almost everything on the menu from the chorizo breakfast burrito, to taquitos to fish tacos. I've never had any complaints. The skinny margs are amazing the chips and salsa are always fresh and my food is always hot when it comes to the table. The servers are always friendly and the restaurant is kept spotless. If you haven't tried this place you're missing out. read more

It's a nice local spot,... Love taco Tuesday... Easy going vibe

We so wanted to like this new neighborhood Mexican place, but sadly disappointed as it is overpriced for what you get. Must compliment wait staff - very friendly & very attentive, but they can't make up for pricey items on the menu. Rearranging table set/ups would also help. We will head back to Baja Sonora for better good and much better prices. read more

I have been here a few times since it opened and have always had a good experience. The staff is friendly and attentive, the food is good and the margaritas are strong. The chips and salsa are a great way to start any meal, and I typically order the tacos. The chicken tinga tacos and diablo shrimp tacos are my favorites. Would be a 5-star review, but I did find the beans and rice to be a little underwhelming (I typically just order a la carte tacos instead). We will definitely be coming back for more! read more

Food is good. Website says lunch specials from 11:00 to 3:00 pm. Nowhere does it say dine in only. Have ordered it in the past and had no problems but this time was told by the waitress that the owner does not allow that anymore and you can call the corporate and complain. I said charge whatever the regular price is for the burritos but she said no, it's for dine in only. It's just weird that they can't make a burrito from the lunch menu to go. read more

This is a great restaurant for this neighborhood! My husband and I have walked here on many occasions to enjoy the fantastic margaritas and good food. It will continue to be one of our go-to places. The taco-Tuesday deal is great given that their fish tacos are amazing! read more

I hit Taco Beach for the first time last night and was quite happy with the experience. The place is nicely decorated, lots of flat screens tuned to sports. The service was great...and quick. Candace was our server and she was the sweetest friendliest thing ever. Took our drink orders right off the bat and the drinks arrived at the table quickly. She was helpful when we were deciding what to order and quite patient while we took our time deciding. I ordered two Cali tacos, one with ground beef and the other carne asada. The ground beef was a bit juicy and spiced up quite a bit and it threw me off at first, but after a few bites I decided I liked it! The tortillas tasted hand made and were thick and delicious. Beans and rice were pretty good. The food was not the best Mexican food I have ever eaten in my life, but that is not what I was looking for nor expecting. This is a cute little place run by friendly competent folks. They have great cold beers on tap, tasty chips and salsa and decent food at reasonable prices. It is within walking distance to my house so if I want to relax, watch a game and enjoy a few beers I can get myself home safely and legally with a full happy belly. Don't worry about all the negative reviews. I almost didn't go because of all the low ratings, but I decided to give it a chance anyway and I am glad I did. Get over there and give it a try, you won't be sorry! read more

Our son is always talking about this place and goes there a lot. When his dad and I came down for the day he took us there for lunch. The waitress was so attentive and so sweet. There was so much food, we had to take it home. I highly recommend it and would go there again. I'm so glad we finally got to try it. read more
