" I really wanted to love this place since I've heard fantastic reviews about their carnitas. The flavors were great! However, I was disappointed with the service. The staff seemed overwhelmed and forgot my order. After a long wait, I received my tacos cold and lacking toppings. Such a bummer because the food was really good otherwise. I might give it another try, hoping for better service next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been a loyal customer of Los Kuinitos for over five years because their carnitas are always fresh and flavorful! The only downside is the limited seating and parking, which can be frustrating. I also prefer if they took credit cards instead of cash only! Overall, love the food and will continue to support this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this place! Los Kuinitos serves the best chicharrones and carnitas around Long Beach. Each bite is bursting with flavor, and their salsas are really good too! The only downside is it’s cash only, which can be a hassle if you’re not prepared. I wouldn't mind not having seating inside if I could take my food to enjoy at a nearby park. " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, the food at Los Kuinitos is amazing. The carnitas are incredibly delicious! I particularly love how they prepare their tacos. Perfectly stuffed with meat and sometimes with a sour crema finish. However, the prices have crept up recently, and I wished they offered a seating area. Guess I’ll just keep getting takeout! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious is an understatement! Every time me and my friends visit this spot, we are never disappointed with their carnitas. They are consistently great when it comes to flavor and freshness. Although the wait can be annoying, especially on weekends, it’s always worth it. Just remember to bring cash! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was quite pleased with my recent visit to Los Kuinitos! The carne asada tacos were superb, and the portions were plentiful. I love that they throw in some extra toppings for no additional charge. A downside is the lack of seating; we ended up eating in our car. But the food made it all worthwhile! " (*Curated Review*)

" Los Kuinitos is hit or miss. On some days, the food is fresh and delicious, while other days it seems less consistent. I ordered carnitas and got a very small portion for the price. While I love their flavor, it feels like they are getting stingy. The staff needs to engage more with customers so that they feel valued! " (*Curated Review*)
