The food was really good and my Mexican American wife (from El Sereno) says it reminds her of her mother's cooking. She loved the posole this time and last time she also loved the albondigas. I've had the hard shell tacos but I really judge a Mexican restaurant by the rice and beans. If they get that right the rest usually follows and these were just right, perfect. We're definitely returning regularly.

Hmmmm...I miss the old Kanye. I was buying California Burritos here back when it was Pepe and Chepitos. Something is missing now. The burrito recipe doesn't taste as good as it did under the old ownership. I think they removed the guacamole or some of the sour cream. It just doesn't taste as creamy and rich. It also seems like they raised the price of the CA burrito but removed the 2 tostadas and salsa cup you would get with it as your complimentary "chips and salsa". I know businesses have it tough, and wages and ingredients are going up every day, but if the price goes much higher, they will price me out of what I am willing to pay for this burrito. Right now, they are $13 and with the LB tax rate, it is $14.65 before tip.Now, it is hard to find a good California burrito around Long Beach, so I will be back for now. Plus, it looks like they started serving coffee and espresso, so that seems cool. Might try one of those next time. I just hope the next California Burrito is better or I may start looking around for a new spot.

Small little spot by the Long Beach college. I was driving my school bus and wanted to kill time so we stopped by to see what was around and the taco sign got us. Lol . Very simple inside and menu is all up on the board as well as lunch special . I got the 3 tacos and picked carnitas (you can only pick carnitas , chicken , I forgot the other meat for lunch only) . Comes with onions and cilantro and a small drink . You can get the salsa just ask for it . Oh yes and the cashier (super nice). Tacos are good

Solid Mexican spot by CSULB campus. I have the pleasure of being allergic to both corn and fresh tomato, and the staff were happy to accommodate with my restrictions. Portions are huuuuge so my carne asada fries are going to give me at least 2-3 more meals! I'll be back and happy to support a new local owned business!

Service was great. That was the ONLY great thing. I consider myself a taco LOVER!!! I'll try any hole in the wall in search of the best tacos.... And I greatly hate that I wasted my time here. The tacos meats were bland- I got chicken and carnitas. The green sauce was pretty good... I suppose I should have known to expect no flavor if they put packets of salt on the side... no self respecting track needs salt. I guess I'll stick to my favorite taco stand and the taqueria in Huntington Beach. This place was a waste of $$.

I love love LOVE hard shell tacos, but they are sometimes hard to find, and sometimes not so good. But not here. Light and crispy shells, moist and flavorful shredded beef, lettuce, tomato and not too much cheese. This will be my new go to. The young man working there is super pleasant and attentive. I highly recommend!

I tried the Barbacoa and Birra tacos.Both were DELICIOUS. The person who took my order was very helpful. He explained the items on the menu and his recommendations were spot on. The prices were very fair for what you got. I will definitely be back.

Finally!! A Mexican Food restaurant in East Long Beach that serves authentic Mexican dishes. I had the albondigas last week and this week I had the posole. They were both delicious. My husband had the hard chicken taco combo and he said it was great. Also need to mention the service- it was amazing! I felt like I was back in my home town having dinner. This ELA girl is one happy Mexican!!
