" I’ve been coming to Los Kuinitos for years, and I must say, their carnitas are one of the best! Freshly made, full of flavor, and the prices are very reasonable. It’s a little crowded sometimes, but worth the wait! The salsa adds a perfect kick to the tacos. Just remember it’s cash only! Definitely my go-to spot when I crave authentic Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon this gem while searching for authentic Mexican food in Long Beach. The chicharron tacos are to die for! The staff was quite friendly on my visit, and they even offered recommendations. However, with limited parking and the cash-only situation, it takes a little bit of patience. In conclusion, great food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Los Kuinitos is a classic! Their food is outstanding and feels traditional. The carnitas were perfect, and I highly recommend going with the tacos. The down points for me were the poor hygiene among the staff and the lack of indoor dining options. I believe this taco joint can do better in those aspects. " (*Curated Review*)

" So disappointed! I had high expectations after reading positive reviews, but my visit fell flat. The service was incredibly slow, and after waiting 30 minutes for my order, I found it was made incorrectly. Likely won't return, as the experience soured my taste for this place. Perhaps they were having an off day? " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was mixed at best. The food here often tastes fantastic, but I often find poorly cooked items during my visits. I would like to see them focus a bit more on quality control. If they could improve their consistency, I think that would make it deserving of its reputation. " (*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*)
