Avis sur Taqueria La Mexicana Long Beach
Cash only… enough said. Chicken taco comes with green salsa and asada taco comes with red… the red is pretty spicy but delicious!
Shout out to JULIAN.I have been to this spot many times the service is always exceptional. Especially today busy and rainy JULIAN got me in and out with all the really great food. Definitely will be returning.
The best taco shop in Long Beach. Ive gone to this one many times and it never let's me down. I got an asada cali burrito and added guac and pico for less than $14. It is cash only but they do have an atm inside the seating area. Ive never had a complaint about the food that they serve. The service is always quick and friendly. They do get busy because they are so good but I dont mind waiting because I know the food never disappoints! Keep serving delicious food like this! Thank you. 🙏🏿🙌🏿🤤
THIS place that I lived down across Redondo from, is the measuring stick I use for any and all tacos, I've had to endure here in the MidWest. Some have some especially close, but nowhere close to the authentic taste of the PERFECT taco/burrito/etc. How we MISS YOU and will always plan to visit when we make it back to Long Beach. ❤️ I lived in that apartment for 14 years, would walk my dogs to get food, and only once did I ever have to explain thoroughly what I was looking for. They knew me by face, and always knew it was either Lengua or Al Pastor burritos. I truly hope you never close, and if you do, pass it down through family.
Amazing meat plates and tacos! The adobada is to die for and their rice is just perfect. I’ve been coming here from over a decade and they never seem to disappoint. A little on the pricey side but great quality food and flavor so it’s worth it
Food is always great, highly recommend it!! Only mishap I've had here was when I ordered chicken tacos for my daughter and they gave me asada fries, didn't noticed until I got home . My daughter was happy regardless.
Good no frills taqueria. It can get busy, so for to go orders it's good to call ahead. If you don't get through, try again, often they will call you back if they missed your call. Not a lot of seating, cash only although there is an ATM.
Loveeeee my custom bean and cheese burrito I get here. Hard not to get addicted and order them more regularly. Especially cuz they are an astounding price! Ugh, now I’m craving one… lol
Taquilla: Quality Over Quantity Taquilla offers a unique dining experience that prioritizes quality over quantity. While the portions may be smaller, the quality of the meat is exceptional. The flavors are simple yet satisfying, reminiscent of home-cooked meals. However, the long wait times can be a significant drawback. Despite the delicious food, the extended wait can sometimes dampen the overall experience. The red salsa, a standout condiment, adds a fiery kick that complements the dishes perfectly. If you're willing to be patient, Taquilla is a great choice for those seeking a taste of authentic, high-quality Mexican cuisine. Just be prepared to wait for your culinary reward.
It was a busy Friday. Had tree service guys work on both our front and backyard. They worked up some serious sweat pruning and cutting over ten trees on our property! Dang, watching them made us hungry! (For the record, we did some clean up too after they left) So, we were were hankering for a burrito. Husband suggested coming back to Taqueria la Mexicana. That sounds good to me. We got there and he wanted me to choose the meat. Lengua, gotta have the lengua. I like having something I cannot cook at home (one day I will try though). Burrito is stuffed with a good amount of lengua, refried pinto beans, seasoned Mexican rice, cilantro, onions. side of salsa (be sure to ask for this!) If there is a line, you may be waiting for your order. We were there around 4 pm and waited around 20 minutes for our order to be ready. That is quite OK because the lengua was absolutely the best, so tender, so well seasoned without the saltiness at all. Their blend of seasonings paired with their method of cooking resulted in the most perfect lengua. The price was $8.50 for the burrito. good price for the taste and quality. Cash ONLY so bring some paper money. If you forget, there is an ATM in the waiting area. Parking is street parking as it is in the neighborhood on 4th Street. Learn to parallel park. lol. So, do not delay, treat yourself to an awesome lengua burrito. (or the many other choices on the menu!) Buen provecho!
Prices are decent, asada was flavorful. We got asada fries, super nachos and a regular burrito. Nachos had too much beans for my liking and made the chips soggy quickly. Place is tiny but inviting. Better than other places in the surrounding area
I ate my bean and cheese burrito before taking a pic. Sorry! Finally made the decision to stop by this taco stand on the corner. I’m glad I did. I ordered the bean and cheese burrito and an order of chips and guacamole. There were a lot of chips. (Mine were a little stale. I think it was just the time of day.). The burrito was stuffed (required both hands) and it was on a very very good tortilla. The homemade very thin and charred kind. Yum! The menu is extensive. The service was great. It’s a cash only place, so don’t stop without it. There are a few covered sidewalk tables in the shade. Family friendly. Good food!
Taqueria La Mexicana is one of the favorite places in Long Beach to get some tasty tacos. We usually order the lengua tacos (yummy) with a orange or coca cola soda. Just like old times. They only accept cash so if you do not want to pay that crazy fee for an ATM withdrawal that they conveniently have inside make sure you do not forget to bring cash. Parking is also a little tough so you may have to walk a bit. Enjoy.
Love coming to this place but their customer service lacks!!! I moved away and was in the area and tried calling and calling and calling to place an order and no one ever answered. I probably called over 15 times and no one ever answered. Huge disappointment so I decided not to come. Not the first time that they haven’t answered their phone. Too bad would have ordered for a whole family of 8 and they would have made some moneissss. Wish they actually took calls of orders. Again. Big disappointment they can’t just answer their phone.
Been here a few times in 15 years of living in LB and every time I come here i’m reminded of why I don’t come regularly. Expect to wait over an hour for your food. When it finally does come out it’s soggy and mid. This recent time I waited over an hour for Asada Fries, dont know why it would take that long. They literally put out 1 order every 10 minutes.
Flavor-wise, the carne asada combo burrito was average. The burrito feels like there's a lot of unused space inside of it as you get tortilla excess with each bite. They also don't provide any chips/salsa. Indoor seating is available but there is no Valentina/Tapatio, napkins, or anything on the tables. Cash only. I think this is just a no-frills kind of place, which if you are then there's nothing inherently wrong with it, but if that's the case then the taste or volume should be above average.
I used to love this spot and recommended it to everyone I know but I can’t take the risk anymore . This place served me spoiled meat in my taquitos not ONCE but TWICE.. I waited a few months and tried it again only to be disappointed I had already left to work with my food , so I did not return :( please guys food safety is most important!
I have been a regular at this place for more than 20 years but it's quickly going down. It lost its appeal. The al pastor burrito I loved got smaller and the price doubled within just a couple of years. It's more expensive than ordering in the restaurant and they still take cash only!! I understand the inflation and things getting expensive but not 100% price increase that makes the product restaurant expensive. I also ordered double meat and I don't think it was double. Yesterday, I ordered it, and the kid with perfectly manicured, fingernails and painted shiny nude color who took my order to-go took it incorrectly and I left the place with the wrong burrito. I had to drive back and correct that. No apologies, no one word Just unprofessional, entitled kids running the greedy place. Totally disappointed!
