Tacos El Sapo

This is my GO-TO taco truck. They have never disappointed me. Everything on the menu has been great. The serving process is easy and the food always comes out quickly.

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.

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.

The burritos are really good and filling! I also got an horchata water and it was really good too! I tried the tacos de cachete and the meat was perfectly seasoned.

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!

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.

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!

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.

BEST TACOS EVER!!! It's worth the drive and wait in line! I highly recommend this place!
