El Sauz Family Restaurant

Great food at a reasonable price and service goodServers good and food very freshIf you want Mexican food at a reasonable price Use El Sauz

Hi,This weekend we were looking for something different in the Mexican food category. So, of course, we pulled out yelp to give us some guidance. We weren't overly hungry, and just wanted a bite, but with the cost of food today, it is stupid to not check yelp reviews first!Based solely on yelp reviews, we decided to give El Sauz a try....It is a smallish restaurant, but it has a private parking lot, which is a plus in Long Beach! Inside it is clean and has adequate seating. We decided to order the chicken nachos (photo below) from the appetizer part of the menu. The portion was huge! Good chips. Plenty of chicken and cheese. It also came with sour cream and Guacamole. The serving was so big, two of us ate off of it, and we still had leftovers!!El Sauz is not gourmet. But the food is decent. Portions huge. Prices fair and good service to boot!I would definitely go back!Jim

My first time being here and I must say overall my experience was a great experience. I went on a Tuesday and I sat inside to enjoy my food, the ambience was very cute and simple and there was no wait. The customer service was amazing The waitress was very quick and fast. The food came out fast, the establishment was clean I ordered the wet carne asada burrito and I also had an michelda definitely probably one of the best mi I had in a very long time. The burrito was a nice size. I was able to take some home to have for lunch the next day and it was still just as good as when I first ordered it, I definitely will be back to try other items on the menu.

El Sauz, you are the eternal flame that keeps this city going. It's from all those burners you have going on when there's a line of customers in the dead of night. The menu is all good. And of course tacos are fully loaded with a transcendently spicy salsa. Never change, love you

I ate here about a month ago and I'm still craving their tripas tacos omg they're so good

Absolutely love this place. My boyfriend and I frequent El Sauz pretty regularly and we've never been disappointed. On top of great Mexican cuisine they have amazing dessert like rice pudding or cheese flan.

I'm not going to lie, I fear for life everytime I come here lol I low key get scared. Other than that great amazing food! Really like their birria tacos!!!! But everything overall is really good!

If you're out in Long Beach this late night spot is always the best place for a bite before heading home. It never disappoints! Fast service and always consistent. I got 2 orders of the Birria quesadilla and it was amazing, my only wish was that there was Birria consomé for dipping. The green sauce was good and definitely spicy. If you're planning to eat there on a late night don't expect a nice table set up, it's more of a simple place to sit quickly with some good food or order to go

A Delicious Evening at El Sauz Mexican Restaurant Last night's dinner at El Sauz Mexican Restaurant was another reminder of why I keep coming back! This gem of a place has a taco window that never disappoints, offering a variety of mouth-watering options. Whether you're in the mood for something classic or adventurous, they've got you covered with their wide selection of tacos.As a regular, I have my go-to favorite -- the chicken and shrimp quesadilla, accompanied by perfectly seasoned rice and beans. It's consistently delicious and fills you up without breaking the bank. The pricing is very reasonable, especially given the quality and portions of the food served.The ambiance at El Sauz is casually inviting, with a lively atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. It's a great spot for an evening out, whether you're with family or catching up with friends.Overall, my experiences at El Sauz have always been excellent, marked by friendly service, fantastic food, and a welcoming vibe. If you find yourself craving some authentic Mexican fare, I highly recommend you check out their taco window and maybe even find your own favorite dish! Only thing is parking could be difficult. I know my review is long I just had to get it all in. :)

I am obsessed with this place! Even before I tried the food as everyone knows I do Uber Eats all over the So Cal and OC areas. I notice when restaurants are booked and busy. Shoutout to Emily for being so polite. Honestly I enjoy small talk so I can get to know the food and people. I can early with my mom and she was patient and kind. The place is adorable and is a "hole-in-the-wall" so to speak so I love that! I provide honest reviews. So the FOOD duh! Amazing and this is reheated. Only one star because I didn't eat in the restaurant so I heated it up. It's very good though! I'll just be back. Also one star because as soon as you go to your car people are asking for free food which isn't cool because people work hard to eat out in this day and age. Thank you for the pure love Emily and kitchen staff!
