" I love Tacos 'El Sapo' for the price and the variety. I always go for their tripa tacos, and while they are good, they could use a little more crunch. The atmosphere is casual, which I enjoy, but it can get crowded on weekends. The staff remains friendly despite the rush. I also appreciate how fast they are at getting orders out. Despite a few minor adjustments needed in the food, I will keep coming back for their amazing al pastor and salsa options. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have had tacos from all over LA and I can confidently say that Tacos 'El Sapo' holds its own! The quality of their meats shines through every taco. I particularly liked their pollo at times; it's just so juicy and well-spiced! I would have given it a perfect score, but sometimes it takes a bit longer when they are busy. Definitely a taco truck to visit if in Long Beach! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Tacos 'El Sapo,' I'm reminded why Mexican street food is the best! Their tripa tacos are spot on, not overcooked, and just the right amount of crispy. The staff are always busy, but still cheerful and helpful. The only negative might be that they’re cash only, which is not ideal sometimes, but the tacos definitely make up for it. So excited for my next trip! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can’t recommend Tacos 'El Sapo' enough! The variety of meat was impressive—especially loved the tripa but the al pastor was also spectacular. The salsa bar was a nice touch. The staff was friendly but a bit overwhelmed during peak hours. I had to wait, but the food was worth it. I felt like I was back in Mexico, enjoying street food with my family. It’s a must-try if you're in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my experience at Tacos 'El Sapo'! I tried a few different meats, and every single taco was packed with flavor. The portion sizes for the prices are more than fair. The staff was top-notch; they made me feel like a valued customer. I will definitely be coming back on Taco Tuesday! Thank you for an incredible experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Tacos 'El Sapo' after hearing all the buzz and let me tell you—I was not disappointed! The al pastor tacos were juicy and delicious. I indulged in three and they were quite filling! The staff was super friendly, which added to the experience. My only complaint was the wait time but with the food being so good, it’s easy to overlook that. Overall, a fantastic spot for tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Tacos 'El Sapo' when a friend recommended it, and it was one of the best decisions ever! Their asada and al pastor tacos are my new favorite! The flavors are rich and authentic, bringing me back to the street food I enjoyed in Mexico. I can't wait to go back for more. The only downside was the parking situation; it was a bit tricky. But overall, the food makes it worth it! " (*Curated Review*)
