Whenever I come back home to LB, I always make sure to come visit Tacos El Sapo. Without a doubt, some of best tacos you're gonna find out here. They offer a wide selection, but most importantly, they offer trompo style pastor and a salsa bar. The employees are friendly and offer a quick bite to take home or eat next to their truck. I always bring new friends here or meet old ones here as it's open late and can serve a long line fast. The pastor taco tuesdays are a must! There could be some improvements such as better chopped or washed onions. I know they offer grilled onions, but when I do, i feel like they give me a little. The cabeza and lengua can get pretty dry at times, but i get it if it's a late night and there isnt many people ordering it to make more.

This place is good. But I have to say....I feel like the burritos are getting smaller. Its the size of a taco bell burrito. So if you want a 4 bite quick burrito. This is the place.

Located on SW corner of PCH and Atlantic, open pretty much everyday after 6pm to midnight. Very simple menu: tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and mulitas, choose your meat. They do have an indoor trompo for the pastor. We ordered tacos with asada and pastor, and both meats were flavorful and void of much gristle (chopped to the perfect consistency for tacos). Tacos are $1.80 a piece now, and the tacos are regular street size (not oversized as I read in some review). The are generous with the meat, but at the end of the day, I was still pretty hungry after devouring 4 tacos. I also ordered 1asada mulita ($3.00) to take back. There was no pineapple piece for the pastor, and because it was indoors, no open flame causing that smokey char with pineapple that can elevate pastor to a different place. Wouldn't come here just for the pastor. This is a food truck parked at a service station. The front does have 3 different salsas (I love the use of restaurant dispensers here...keeps everything cleaner and allows you to put the perfect amount). They have a large topping bar (cilantro, sliced onion mix, diced onions, quartered limes, radishes, and cucumbers.) that was VERY fresh. There isn't much parking available here (maybe 6 spots), and the sitting area is just some stools (no tables) to encourage you to be on your way. The tacos did come out pretty fast. All in all, probably in the bottom half of taco trucks that I've eaten at in LA....but that is still good enough to grade it with 4 stars.

Yes, I do recommend this place the only sad thing is that today may 18, 2025 I didn't all my tacos tonight. It's the 1st time this happens

Came here during the late hours and I can say this is one of the best tacos I've had in all of SoCal. Authentic tacos, burritos, and quesadillas are the only items you'll find here and that's all you need. The workers were friendly and amazing, the man who took my order looked so happy to be there. The tacos and quesadillas are well cooked and come out in an instant, not dry at all and filling in so many ways. There is also various sides such as onions and salsa verde available. They also accept Apple Pay and Card here, come here and support your local businesses!

I might be a little obsessed with these tacos... My first time here was Valentine's Day right after getting off a plane from LAX. It was almost midnight and I was craving tacos before heading home. My bf mentioned this place and I've been in love with them ever since! We got 8 tacos and 2 pineapple drinks for $12! What a bargain! One of the cooks let me try the buche since I never had it before and he prepped it like a taco for free! It was good but I stuck to the pastor and asada. My bf, on the other hand, loved it and got it along with the lengua. Okay YOOO the condiments table!! So the red and green sauce is already fire, you add the guac sauce and it's just *chef's kiss* exquisite! Now if you're a fan of heat and spice, add the habanero pickled onions and you will not regret it. All the flavors in your mouth just combining, my mouth is just salivating as I type about it. It def has a kick from the habanero that's why it's a must to get the pineapple drink ($1 only!) I've been here three times in the past 10 days... Great customer service, unbeatable prices, delicious quality tacos! Try it for yourself, you will become addicted!

When I'm in town visiting my family and we're craving tacos, this is where we get it. I've tried the tacos, quesadillas, and burritos, and everything is good. Of course, their tacos is what keeps us going back. Love their tripas tacos, and love the texture of their tortillas. And I like all their sauces and toppings they offer.

Rating 5.0 TLDR: Best late night tacos I have EVER had. If you're in Long Beach, or willing to make the trip, get the tacos here. You won't be disappointed. This place is what you imagine authentic tacos are: the smell, the ambiance, the taste, LETS GOOOO!!!!! I dreams of these tacos. Ngl. Not TLDR: They asked me where I wanted to eat after the concert. "I want tacos." I told them. "Okay, there's a couple here, we just passed a few more, they told me. I responded, "NO. I want the most authentic street night tacos this side of LA county". This side being Long Beach of course :), and Tacos El Sapo fufilled that craving. You want authentic Mexican tacos, come here. My mouth is watering just thinking about delicious tacos as I write this review. In fact, I just had some tacos here in Sacramento, and it was not as good as these. Overall, you want yummy tacos that will leave you satisfied after a late night, check this place out.

Love their Crispy Tripas Burrito and their Cabeza tacos. They do accept Apple Pay, card, and cash. Parking is a bit hard sometimes but plenty of street parking with a little walk. Their horchatas are only $1 and delicious. Highly recommend this place if you're going to pick any taco truck, you might as well come here. It's affordable and fulfilling.

Gaspar I.

Used to love this place. They changed they're taco sizes to a ridiculously small size. Not even a kids size.

Asada, pastor & lengua tacos with the fixin's! Yum!

Maggie N.

Love their tacos! Their quesadillas are even more amazing. We love coming here during the weekend and always look forward to their friendly fast service. Our favorite tacos are the asada, pastor, & chorizo. Ask for everything on it and make sure they give you the grilled onion & chili pepper! One of the great things about being back in Long Beach is the availability of great cheap food within walking distance!

I believe this place is only here on weekends around 6 or 7pm. I went to this place because I was so excited to have a taco truck in Long Beach. To be honest, there is not that many of them here, and all the restaurants close super early, especially for a night owl like me. So, I was super happy and excited to have a place like this close to my house. This place is between atlantic and pch, in front of a mechanic shop. However, there is no parking at this location you are more likely going to park on the street or the nearby residential neighborhood. The lines was pretty long but the service is decently fast because they only serve tacos, burritos, and quesadillas. They have a self serve salsa station with all the fixings: cilantro, onion, cucumbers, and radishes. They also have these like green kid size tables and chairs for people to eat and sit on, but there is not that many, so most just take it to go. Now, the food. The food was okay I was pleasantly surprised with the quality, because my expectations of taco trucks around here are low. Side note, the food truck has an A letter grade from the health food inspection department. The food of tacos around long beach are usually sub bar but this one is way better than them. Not the best, but good enough for me to come back when i just need some food to hold me over. With 6 tacos and 1 burrito, it came out to 12.50. My only concern that there is no price shown on the truck so that s concerning to me since they can change the price however and whenever they feel like it. Back to the food, the burrito was a decent size, the meat had a little bit of fat and slightly burnt, but it didn't bother me that much. The tacos are really tiny too, but the flavor is there. Overall, I recommend coming here if you're in the area and need a little snack or dinner when everything else is closed.

Food was delicious and really fast. Ambience is nice and not too busy because they service quick. $1 Tacos Tuesday and Wednesday for pastor only but you can't beat that anywhere in Long Beach when every other spot is $1.50. They're pretty good tacos and if you tag them on your story you get a free drink which they honored for us we got an Horchata. Overall $22 for 10 Pastor tacos and 1 asada burrito w cheese is a good deal. Would recommend! I don't think it's El Sapo - Truck anymore. It's still a truck but not it's called ; @Tacos_elsantoniño. That's their instagram and the truck name very good recommend . read more

Really good taco truck with quick service and solid food. The area might look a little sketchy, but that's usually how you know it's going to be good. There are a few spots to sit, but it does get pretty busy at night. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and it's worth stopping by for a late night bite! read more

The food tasted great and the service was super fast, which I appreciated. I was disappointed with the portion size. I ordered a burrito and it was way smaller than what I'm used to back home. For the price, I expected something more filling. I left still hungry. If you're looking for quick, tasty food, this place delivers--but don't come expecting big portions. Ambiance is okay don't go too late At night. read more

After so many "touch of the divine", "moment of bliss", "hint of eternity" type of reviews I was genuinely looking forward to something special. So I was genuinely disappointed to discover that my tacos were a perfectly routine, run of the mill, nothing special affair. The carne asada was missing that cooked over charcoal flavor that makes it so delicious. The al pastor in the chorizo were nearly indistinguishable. The al pastor was missing any of the complexity that makes al pastor so amazing and the chorizo was missing any of the crispiness that makes it such a joy. The service was friendly and the salsas were great and I'm happy for all the people who found this place to be so amazing. But I think if they tried a few more taco places they might change their tune. Either that or I happen to go on exactly the wrong night. read more

The flavors in the al pastor taco all work together in perfect harmony! I love to visit this taco truck for a quick bite. There's usually a line but the food comes out extremely fast so the wait isn't too long. I've had their tacos and burritos. I usually get about 4-6 of the carne asada and al pastor tacos. The al pastor is absolutely DIVINE! It literally melts in your mouth. Not to be dramatic but there's seriously a few seconds of complete serenity with each bite! You can taste every note of the homemade corn tortilla, the perfectly marinated and slow cooked pork and the splash of lime, onions, cilantro and salsa (green salsa only for me!). I'm a little sad that they aren't always parked at the PCH location (in front of the tire shop after hours). They need a storefront ASAP! read more

This is the best taco truck in Long Beach so far. Been to other and it's was ok but this stop is the bomb. And their sauce I like it better then the rest as well. My favorite meat was cabeza, tripas and lengua but I haven't try the rest yet. And pretty cheap for a taco. 1.25 each and don't forget to ask for their grill onions and jalapeños. read more

Omg the best street tacos ever. We tried the chicken, and the condiments that come with them are sooo good! Only downside was that we didn't have enough cash on us to buy enough of them. Luckily we live close by and will be back for sure! read more

Sonoratown

Sonoratown continues to be one of my favorite places for tacos. We are so lucky to have it in Long…read moreBeach. They're known for their handmade flour tortillas that have an amazing bite to them. They were just awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand award this week for their excellent, affordable food. One thing that I appreciate about their tacos is that their meats have varied textures. The costilla (rib meat) is a crowd pleaser as you get the taste of the grill/charcoal. They have tripe that is crispy with corn nut texture. Cabeza (face meat) has a stewed texture. Unlike most places in LB, there is two hours free parking conveniently located across the street at the Harvey Milk Community Lot. This is easily one of the best options for tacos in Long Beach and, if you haven't had it yet, then you really should! This is the type of place that we need to support!

The tortillas tho…read more... Have been hearing a ton about this place, so came to give it a try. Interior is super cute with tons of seating. We ordered caramelos with the poblanos inside, as well as their horchata. Tortillas are some of the best I've had. Super soft and flavorful from the grill. The fillings and salsa were good too, but it was really wet, and the bean ratio especially compared to the meat, was a little off. Always am going to want more meat. Horchata was unique since it was coconut based. Overall solid spot with patient staff. Tacos La Rueda is still better, but will be back when in Long Beach.

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 food itself was actually decent and flavorful, so I'll give credit where it's due. However, the service was extremely disappointing. The employee who took our order had a very negative and dismissive attitude toward us from the start. It made the entire interaction uncomfortable and honestly took away from what could have been a good dining experience. I'm not sure what the reason for the attitude was, but as a Black couple we couldn't help but feel unwelcome based on how we were treated. Customer service matters just as much as the food, and no one should feel uncomfortable when spending their money at a business. Because of the way we were treated, we won't be returning. Hopefully management takes feedback like this seriously and works on improving the customer service experience for everyone.

The café is small but intentionally minimalist, the kind of design that instantly transported me back to Japan.

But the detail that stayed with me most was the wall of "Reinne Checks" on the left: little receipts where people had written notes to their loved ones.
