The Most Delectable Food Stands in Long Beach

Angel’s Estilo Tijuana Tacos

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (8)

"Food:Tacos - Carne Asada and Al PastorHaving been to the location near Dodger Stadium in the past, I was super excited when I saw that there was an Angel's stand near my house. Like the other locations, the Al Pastor is the king here. It is flame grilled on the trompo (rotating spit) and then thrown on the flat top to give it an extra crisp. The al pastor tacos are 5/5 and its worth getting the al pastor on whatever you decide to order. The carne asada is okay, nothing special, and definitely not as good as the al pastor. 3/5 on the asada in my opinion. Tacos come with cilantro, onion, avocado spread (think like a lite guac), and salsa.Restaurant / Service:The stand is on the side of the street, so there is no seating, but parking is quite easy. Something about eating tacos on the hood of a car never gets old to me. The service was okay, they were not overly friendly, but they were not mean at all.Notes:Tacos are $2.75 each."

Mr Menudo Oficial - Bellflower

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (135) • $$

"So good!Was craving menudo and decided to stop here. I did not know it was a walk up window and I thought there were tables in there.The person at the register was ver patient and friendly. We ordered 2 small menudos and a cheese and jalapeño tamal. We ate in the car, and it was so good! The menudo was good but I think it needed salt. There was meat in every single bite! The tamales was good but it did need more cheese.The establishment is small eith a walk up window and no tables inside. There are people waiting inside and out. The food comes out quick which is a plus.If you don't mine eaticarvery good menudo in your car...please try it!"

Tacos El Garrion

★★★★★ 4.8 (5)

"We were at the savers in the plaza and saw the setup, had to grab some tacos after seeing what was under the canopy. Really friendly folks, fresh pressed tortilla and a ton of meats to select from. We got the Al pastor to try and they were one of the best high quality tacos we've had, let alone street side. We're in OC but would gladly drive here just to grab some tacos, burritos, or etc. Tacos came out to be $2 each which for the quality is an absolutely deal. Had all the fixings for you to choose from, bomb salsas, but just all around nice people (family?) and bomb tacos."

The Quesadilla Calling

★★★★★ 4.7 (19)

"Wow. If you find this pop up stand anywhere - immediately get yourself a quesadilla. These are not your typical quesadillas. They are packed full of flavor and are humongous and was served with some homemade salsa as well as a fried onion. So darn good.I also added mac and cheese for $4.99 and the way they grilled the mac and cheese right on the grill where you got that crusty cheese cover with the gooey mac and cheese inside was incredible. 5-stars all around. Friendly, but to be prepared to wait a bit if there are a lot of orders ahead of you; there was only one owner working when I went, but it made for an INCREDIBLE beach snack on labor day!Hope to find this stand again; they were popped up on the Cherry/Ocean Long Beach Alamitos Beach on a weekend."

Beach Lin Plaza

★★★★★ 4.9 (7)

"Been to these guys a hand full of times since last month, great spot for some late night street tacos! 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!"

Poultry Palace

★★★★☆ 3.6 (47) • $$

"I really love the theming of this food stand. It's located across from the Toy Story Midway Mania. The items that they sell here will vary from time to time. Permanent items on their menu are the chicken drumstick box and corn of the cob. They'll also sell turkey legs and chimichangas. The prices here are pretty standard for Disneyland. It's one of my go to spots to grab something quick to eat."

LA's Ahogadas

★★★★☆ 4.2 (6)

"This place is authentic and giving the public some different traditional Mexican dishes. We started with tacos de canasta. My personal favorite taco de canasta was the one with chicharron. The sauces that they come with have a lot of flavor. Another thing that stood out was the beans, with meat and bacon drenched in the juice meat. Carne con su jugo is the name and it's self explanatory. Last but not least, I tried their main dish which is their torta ahogada. I got it with carnitas, buche and cuerito. It is drenched in their homemade sauce and has a very good kick but you can enjoy it. The attention we got was really good and they kept checking in on us to see if we wanted something else and asked what we thought of the food. I like the location and you can eat your food outdoor or inside they do have one table. The music in the background definitely kept me there since they were playing 90s hip hop. I'm definitely coming back."

Mc Burgers

★★★★★ 4.7 (3)

"First time here. Got a chili burger and a taco. Burger was 5 stars taco 4 stars. Two people working very nice and prices are good. Just starting working very close to them and we'll be back frequently."

Flaccos Tacos

★★★★★ 4.5 (51)

"Best burritos in the city!! Come catch him on Taco Tuesday, Thursday- Saturday unless he has events. Follow his IG @flaccostacos"

Tacos Como En El D.F. Taco Truck

★★★★☆ 4.4 (64) • $

"It's been a minute since I was making my sometimes twice daily treks between LAX and DTLA stopping at every taco spot in between, so I've in a way lost track of some of the new stops in town. That includes the Tacos Como Taco Truck, which in my mind was just okay after a quick Saturday early evening visit. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere?While Tacos Como is a pretty standard truck, they set up a robust covered stand of peripherals and tacos towards the aim of a DIY model. You order your tacos, you're given the meat and tortillas, and you can have at it. Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost?At $1.25 each for standard sized street tacos and the prospect of endless peripherals, Tacos Como is a good deal. Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food?These tacos were just okay. From the tortillas to the meats, I've had worse and I've had better, and that to me defines a two star review. The highlights were the salsas and the chorizo, and the low points were the carne asada and the tortillas. Single Star. Star 5: Would you be excited to go back?There are so many amazing taco spots in town that I simply can't get excited about going back to Tacos Como. No Star."

Any’s Tacos

★★★★☆ 4.2 (67) • $

"Cabeza tacos are amazing here. Meat has a nice char flavor and perfectly fatty. Love the wide assortment of toppings, salsas and sides. The al pastor looks amazing but it was pretty dry. Location is a bonus because there is a churro stand right next to it."

Birrieria Barajas

★★★★★ 4.6 (52) • $

"Where do I begin with this? Let's start of eating it right away. I heard about the place and decided to try it out. No doubt, one of the best birria.We got here around 9a on a Friday. Parking is of by a market, can be tough but street parking is available. Go here early to avoid long lines and wait times.We ordered taco and taco dorado (goat and beef). Consome is delicious and so are the tacos. Goat is definitely delicious, I would get the goat itself dip it in their consome. Yum!Will definitely go back here and recommend it for early bird. They're here until 2pm. Psa: they only take cash."

Sunkissed Bread & Bakery

★★★★★ 5 (11)

"I love how unique Sunkissed bread's products are! Their Earl Grey Salt Bread, Cornflake Miso Cookie, and Sweet Potato Tart are my favorites so far but I've yet to try everything! I enjoy the Asian flare that each dessert has and that it's not overly sweet. I've purchased Sunkissed baked goods at pop ups and have ordered from them online. It's always a great experience. Definitely recommend supporting this delicious, family run, small business!"

Toma Tu Tamal

★★★★☆ 4 (4)

"Toma Tu Tamal makes one of the best Tamales I've ever had. They don't skimp on the meat either. Whether it's pork or chicken or cheese and peppers. They are all delicious. They even have a Vegan option as well. So if you want one of the most delicious tamales you've ever had. Definitely check them out."

Tacos Y Que

★★★★★ 4.8 (270) • $$

"Good food + Good service = Happy customer!I was on my way to LA to meet another Yelper for lunch when I realized it was Taco Tuesday! So, I searched on Yelp for a keto taco joint for us to meet at. I found this 5 star establishment and was a little skeptical. Nonetheless, we settled for this location. It was the best decision ever! When I got to the location, parking was a breeze and I walked in. It was bright, airy and clean. I was greeted at the door and was helped immediately. The owner was friendly and personable. I asked for keto recommendations and he suggested a keto burrito. I ordered a keto burrito with steak picado AND shrimp for an extra charge. Okay, I splurged a little... I probably should have ordered the tacos as they were $1 off tacos for Taco Tuesdays. BUT, I was hangry and wanted the double cheese. If in the area, I would definitely come back!"

Tacos El Chino

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Came by the other night after seeing them on Instagram. Im a sucker for TJ style tacos so i decided to check them out. Ordered two asada and two al pastor. These tacos are pretty good! The meats are flavorful and cooked just right. The taco man was friendly. Im definitely returning."

That Burger Guy

★★★★★ 5 (7)

"Having tried That Burger Guy's smash burger at a pop up event, we can't have burgers anywhere else. It's BOMBDIDDLYUMPSHIS. Their proprietary seasoning is addicting, the amount of juice is perfect, absolutely mouth watering. We had the pleasure of hiring them to cater one of our business events, and it was an absolute hit. Everyone raved about the food, excellent service, and their cool set up... like an organized traveling restaurant with the homey backyard feel. Don't diet till you try it!!!"

Tacos El Fredazo

★★★★★ 5 (32)

"Had Fredazo for our baptism recently. Hands down the best option for food and service. We never had an issue, everything that was promised was delivered, they kept in contact prior to the event and the day of. They stayed on site until the food was finished, far beyond the contracted time. Great service.The food, top of the line quality and full of flavor. Everyone raved about the tortillas and the salsas. We had asada, pastor and chicken. You can't go wrong with that. The Esquite bar was a hit. We will definitely be calling them again."

Big Brian's Meats

★★★★★ 4.7 (13)

"Big Brian's Meats was at my daughters' school for some special function along with some other food stands. I figured there must be a reason they were the busiest and there was. The food was fantastic and I've since followed on IG and ordered 3 or 4 more timed.This afternoon, my wife and kids has pulled pork, tri-tip, mac & cheese and cole slaw. We had a quick picnic and still gave ribs, mac & cheese and a little cole slaw and tri-tip for dinner. Even though we stuffed ourselves, we have plenty for a second meal and it was very reasonably priced.As we left the park I told my wife a 5 star review was way overdue."

Bachi Xpress

★★★★☆ 3.7 (33)

"Portions are good and quality of food as well. Crew is really nice and accommodating. Been here twice already. I'll mod def be back"

Smash N' Sizzle

★★★★★ 4.7 (25)

"I've been interested in trying Smash N' Sizzle for awhile now, and my schedule has finally aligned with one of their pre-order windows this afternoon! The order process was pretty simple -- I responded to their Instagram story and they reached out with follow-up questions, menu options, and pickup details.The pickup was from a home residence in the city of Garden Grove (off of Brookhurst Street and Hazard Avenue), nearby Pho 79 if you're familiar with the area. The exact address is provided with your order! The owner, Aamir, was very friendly and professional when I picked up my food and the burgers were packaged very neatly in separate boxes. I ordered two smash burgers that included three patties each, which cost $15 per burger. They included caramelized onions and jalapenos, which were a delightful surprise. The patties were a little salty, but upon reading the other reviews, I see that the owner pre-marinates the patty meat. The prices were also steep for just the burger, and I thought my order would come with fries on the side, but that doesn't take away from the quality of the food.All in all, I would return for future orders and would love to see them open a brick-and-mortar restaurant someday, ideally in Garden Grove still. 10/10 rating and five stars all around for a seamless ordering experience, delicious food, and timeless customer service."

Ronto Roasters

★★★★☆ 4.3 (253) • $$

"Stopped by to grab something to drink and decided to go with the Meiloorun juice, it consists of Minute Maid lemonade, pineapple juice, blueberry, lemon & cranberry juice and desert pear. I asked for extra ice so it won't be sugary and it was delicious! I dumped it in my canteen so it will be cold longer and last throughout the day. Customer service was quick, there was no line when I got there. They serve three different kind of wraps, breakfast wrap is available from open to 10:30am, veggie wrap is available all day and the Ronto wrap is available after 10:30am."

Tacos El Pecas

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Came across this Taco Stand two days ago. I absolutely love tacos and had to try them. These were delicious, juicy, not dry and well seasoned. The staff is pleasant, friendly and helpful. They are located just before you cross the bridge by 177 Ave on Vermont headed north before you get to the 91.They serve:BucheSuaderoCabezaPolloAsadaChorizoPastorTripaThwh were all good. The pollo was very good, considering most pollo tacos are dry, their's were not. All were seasoned well and you could tell the difference with seasoning in each, they did not taste the same, I will be back.I can't end without talking about their accompaniments, the avocado salsa is creamy, semi-spicy and very smooth with balance. The roasted salsa brings a char smoky and spicy flavor, the smoke segues nicely with the other flavors and enhances whichever taco you choose to add it to. The salsa verde is slightly citric from the tomatillos and gives the acid side to the flavor profile. I enjoyed these tacos and the se ice was spot on good. Update on the way"

Clemens Kitchen

★★★★★ 5 (23)

"I returned to try the menudo and it was absolutely delicious. The juice was flavorful and full bodied. The panza was soft and delectable. The meat was generous (but not cut small enough! I had to tear pieces off bc of how huge the meat slices are and juice would splash on my shirt, or I would burn my mouth and fingers trying to rip the meat apart with my teeth and fingers.) Other than the pain and looking like a doofus because I had to tuck napkins into my collar, It was worth it! Also, their tortillas are SO DAMN GOOD. She makes them by hand the flavor is stellar. I would like to bring my family here for menudo breakfast one day!"

Corner Burrito

★★★★★ 5 (6)

"Ok y'all. THIS PLACE IS BOMB!!!!!!!It's so good it's almost a problem for me. And now he added night hours for tacos?! (I'm never gonna get fit for Hawaii)... he knows my partner by name (that's a lot of burritos and tacos!!!!!)1- the owner/chef is super cool and chats with everyone 2- morning burritos : I've only had bacon and tri tip. Boyfriend looooves the pastrami, and we are waiting for my mom to try the chorizo.The trip tip is so bomb and bacon is goodThe tater tots are a nice touch.I wanna try with the veggies but he sells out by the time I stroll by (trying to act cool like I didn't plan my whole morning around this)3- tacos!!!!!!!!! Chicken and asada (super flavorful) he has red or green sauce. My favorite combo was asada with green. My partner likes chicken with red. Either way I was upset when I finished my third taco :) 4- it's just him and his food is bomb so when you go (and you really should go) just remember it's worth the wait. I've never seen anyone complain but it gets CROWDED so I've waited a lil bit but knew it was worth every minuteDang...now I want tacos(I'm not kidding I'm literally planning our week meals around this!!) I shouldn't admit this, it's truly embarrassing (maybe I need taco Addict anonymous)"

Yakitori Cartel

★★★★★ 4.7 (6)

"Been trying to track down this pop-up and kept having schedule clashes, but this time it was held in Montebello at the Blvd Mrkt, just a hop, skip and a jump away from home. After a slight delay setting up, I checked the skewers they were slanging and saw some great selection! Tri tip, pork belly, dark meat, chicken albondiga, bacon and egg and nopal! The pork belly was especially crispy, and tender on the inside. Tri tip was great with any of the sauces! I'm happy to know they will be returning to the Blvd Mrkt Fri, Feb 9th 2024. So I will definitely be back for more! Hang on to my pen, Yakitori Cartel, I will get it from you next time!"

Masarap Cafe

★★★★★ 5 (8)

"Don't sleep on this spot at the Redondo Beach Farmer's Market on Sundays!! The food may sound unfamiliar on the menu (I had never had West African food before - let alone West African-Filipino fusion), but it is DELICIOUS! Wow! And couple that owns the booth is so incredibly friendly. I was checking out the menu and they offered me a sample of whatever I wanted. A great way to introduce people to the food. I tried the eggplant omelette and the salmon. Both bursting with flavor. I wound up leaving with a chicken wrap, which I thought would be something smaller since I had already bought food from other booths. It was not small at all but packed with veggies and amazing flavors. Their sauces are perfection. I will definitely be returning to the market next time solely for that eggplant omelette."

Tacos El Diablito

★★★★★ 4.7 (29)

"My wife and I booked Diablitos for a family event. From the start, everything was smooth and communication was fast. We tried their tacos one of each and their aguas frescas. The cherry on top was their guac. Wow, what great classic flavors. Diablitos does it classic and right. We have no complaints, only praise to the quality and profesional service they gave us. Presentation was beautiful, very well organized. Their service was on time and efficient. They cleaned up quick, left no mess and left everyone happy. Thank you again, we will contact you for future events when they come up!"

Aria Cafe

★★★★★ 4.7 (21)

"Ordered the garlic noodles with shrimp. The shrimp had a delicious seasoning, and they were very large. I felt the pasta was missing something-- not sure. Maybe if they had an option to add a cajun seasoning to the noodles, it would go better with the shrimp."

Tacos Arandas

★★★★☆ 4.1 (81) • $

"super good! ordered off of ubereats and was impressed!what we got:pollo burrito (5/5 yums): super filled and hefty! it was super good and we added cheese and it made it better. the green salsa definitely made it more refreshing.pastor burrito (5/5 yums): i think i preferred this one over the pollo because it was a little bit more flavorful and it had a slight charred tasted!ensalada agua fresca (5/5 yums): HUGE BOTTLE and tasted really good like a sweet fruit saladbonus points: gave so much radish!"

Leggo’s Kitchen

★★★★★ 5 (15)

"I am SO incredibly happy that I found you for my son's birthday party. The food was absolutely amazing and the set up was so professional! The customer service was amazing and we will bebooking more parties and events through you. I posted on my page and I'm already referring you to everyone I know. Thank you thank you thank you. The al pastor was absolutely delicious along with the marinated asada and the marinated polloasada. Ohh and the salsas, the corn salsa, everything seriously, I could go on and on! Everything was incredible! Ooooh and the watermelon agua Fresca was a HUGE hit. Thank you again! Can't wait to have you back out!!!"

Flavor Burst

★★★★☆ 4.2 (5) • $

"Hidden and tucked away inside and behind the Aquarium of the Pacific, this little soft serve ice cream shop is a nice way to cool off and beat the heat when visiting the aquarium. I've actually been here twice now. Both times the ice cream was been nothing but delicious. The soft serving ice cream does melt fast though but boy does it hit the spot.You can get it in about 8 flavors I believe. Maybe a few more. We got cottoncandy and chocolate. The swirls do give the ice cream a nice appeal and the texture is nothing short of spectacular. Service is ok. The prices are very reasonable and its a nice spot to go to in order to relax. There's plenty of chairs and seats available there. Overall if you're an ice cream fan like me, definitely check em out when you're here. Its located just left of the bird sanctuary in the little alley. The view is lovely and ice cream taste even lovelier."

Daniel's Backyard BBQ

★★★★☆ 4.1 (94)

"So I had originally saw his post on someone else's OG page.... And then I saw his breakfast burritos. I'm a breakfast burrito guy and trust me..... I don't promote what I don't like and enjoy.Before I could go and visit his spot, I went to an event he was catering, and let me tell you, he was the talk. I walked up to the window and was going to ask for a small plate and he said." Stop, you have to try Dino rib,sausage,..... I'll just load you up", next thing I knew I was enjoying hot delicious plate of heavenly goodness.Thanks for catering and the recommendations. We will be going to your place and supporting your business"

Carnitas El Bigoton Becerra

★★★★★ 4.6 (18) • $$

"To be honest idk how this popped into my Yelp recommendations. Maybe I was looking for white aka as guerito menudo. Decided to go check it out after all the reviews. I was there straight up 8:00on a Saturday morning. Service was fast and they are very friendly. The environment was more of a home style backyard very clean and welcoming. I was need up taking 1 1-2 lbs of fresh carnitas and 1/4 of the mix. Brought them home for everybody to enjoy, and they sure did. I will be back this weekend for the Menudo and I'll keep you guys updated. I do remember them saying they have red white hominy no hominy Pata and other items."
