"A Long Beach–based chef's weekend ceviche pop-up from Guillermo Guitron that offers four distinct types of ceviche each weekend and typically sells out, attracting devoted crowds with its fresh seafood preparations." - Mona Holmes

Food is good but the environment isn’t very clean.

My childhood place to eat with my family. I stopped coming after a while since the food quality went down a lot and the tortillas where disgustingly dry however I recently came back after like 6 or so years along with my boyfriend. We were both surprised how good the food was! Even came back a second time and now I'll be coming back more often.

I used to love coming here to eat, but the last few times I have visited, there's always an issue with the food for me. The quality just isn't what it used to be. Either that, or they are purposely giving me the scraps which clearly says to me that you dont want me there. Message loud and clear. They dont have to worry about me ever returning again. I just got upset when I was reminded of my last experience a few days ago. I didn't leave a review then, but I have time today. Anyway, I believe it was either Monday or Tuesday. If the cashier or the cook reads this, then they will know I am telling the truth because they will remember. I ordered a Carnitas burrito with verde sauce cut in half. From past experience, I know to stay there and watch them prepare my food. Whenever I haven't, they would always leave something off that I paid extra for .. like cheese for example, or cilantro and onion...Just little stuff like that..so anyway as the cook is placing the meat in the flour tortilla, from where I was standing it looked like big chunks of fat. I thought I was tripping and didn't want to make an issue, so I said nothing...Maybe it was just once piece and I can pick it out once I get it. This is what I justified in my mind...No problem. So I get to the car, opened my bag, and notice the napkins stuffed in the bag are greasy. Luckily I had him cut the burrito in half, because I was instantly able to see that was something I didn't want to bite into. It almost made my stomach turn. I pulled out 3 big chunks of fat.. absolutely no meat on those pieces..Just straight thick fat chunks. Like why would you mix that in a customer's burrito? You cannot convince me that this wasn't intentional, because he can clearly see the meat he puts on the grill.. He just didnt give a crap, and has no integrity about treating all customers right..I calmly go back inside and spoke with the cashier and showed her what I pulled out. She then goes on to explain that carnitas has fat on it.. I said "ma'am come on..you know good and well, Carnitas doesn't come with chunks of fat like this, and you know u would not eat this. The whole burrito is full of grease. She offered to make another, but I declined. There is no way, I would ever trust that cook preparing anything for me ever again. They have lost my business forever. I'm sure they dont care.. but I hope this review helps the next person. Pay attention to your food before you leave. I will say this, The owner has always been kind to me over the years, so I don't want to bash him at all. I'm not sure if he was there or not. I didn't even think to ask for him so that I could explain the situation because there was no point as far as I was concerned. His cook caused him to lose a customer.

First time coming here, the service was great and the food was delicious, I ordered an asada sope and lengua taco and tripas doradas taco. The tacos are full sized tortillas so careful when ordering or you'll order way too much.

I have visited this place for the last 20 yers and I have tried their pozole, tacos, menudo, juices, etc. The quality and taste of the food has always been top notch. Also, the place is well kept & organized. The employees have worked there for a long time and they always serve you in a efficient, attentive, and efficient manner. Another thing I like is that rain or shine they open their doors every day 6 in the morning.

This place is fire 🔥! Freshly cooked asada, chorizo, pollo, but it's all about the crispy tripas and buche. All came on a big and warm homemade tortillas. Perfectly paired well with the strawberry fresco. Perfect Taco Tuesday.

Worst food ever. I ordered Birria and a quesadilla for two people, the guy who served only gave me 1 container with no onion, no lemon, no cilantro, nothing, just a container with a spoon. I kindly asked if he could give me all of the above and he just stood there, he did not move or talk at all, he got so mad and another guy said "we already put you everything in the bag" and I said no, I don't see it. He asked me to relax, as if I was upset or something. After checking the bag, he said "I thought everything was in there" He kindly gave me a little plastic bag with everything and I left. When I got home I realized the little bag was full of expired food: the lemons were already bad (yellow on the edges and smelled awful), the onion was already bad and smelly, the birria had only bones and water, you could barely see any meat in it. The Jamaica and Strawberry "hand made waters" were bad as well, we couldn't even drink them. I had to throw everything in the trash and spent $41+ on this disgusting food. Definitely not what I expected. If they would have told me the food had expired and they didn't have what I was looking for, I would have never complained. They're prices are extremely expensive, you would think you'd get something good at least. I have never been in front of such dishonest people. Definitely not coming back. After this experience, it made sense why the restaurant was completely empty, there was only one person in there when I arrived.
