" This is a solid spot for quick bites. I appreciate that El Rubio's Jr prides itself on using fresh ingredients. The taste of their tacos speaks volumes–very authentic. I must also commend their employee's friendliness; they really make you feel welcome. The atmosphere is no-frills, just simple and straightforward, but that’s perfect for grabbing food to go. I always leave satisfied and look forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic little gem! If you love authentic Mexican street foods like tacos and tortas, you’ll find them all here. I ordered a carnitas taco and a spicy salsa, and it was everything I dreamt of! The price point is just right, and you definitely get your money’s worth. I do recommend taking it to go; the inside space is limited and not the most comfortable. Overall, I can’t wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great prices for amazing food! I can’t get enough of their carne asada tacos. You can taste the high-quality ingredients, and every taco I've had is delicious. The staff is friendly, making it a positive environment. I’d love to see more seating options since it tends to get full quickly. Overall, a fantastic spot, just be ready to have your patience tested a little during busy hours! " (*Curated Review*)

" It's tough to find decent Samoan and Mexican food in one place, but this spot nails it. I tried both a breakfast burrito and some lamingtons and thoroughly enjoyed both. The burrito was filling, and I appreciated the blend of flavors. The staff were friendly, although it took longer than expected for my order to be ready. Also, the lack of seating can be an issue, but I would absolutely recommend picking up food from here for a picnic! " (*Curated Review*)

" The variety of offerings at El Rubio's Jr is impressive. I appreciated their take on fusion food, blending flavors from Mexican and Samoan cuisines. My favorite was the BBQ ribs, which were succulent and well-cooked. I also enjoyed the breakfast burrito, it has a unique twist, unlike anything I’ve had elsewhere. This place is definitely worth trying, just be prepared for a wait during busy times since they cook to order. Overall, it’s a hidden treasure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I was just passing through Long Beach and decided to stop here based on the reviews. I was blown away by how good the tacos were! They have a variety of meats, but I went for the classic carnitas. The flavors were incredible, and you can't beat the prices. Just a heads up– the dining area isn't large, so it might be better to take your meal outside if you can. I'm definitely going to spread the word about this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a mix of Mexican and Polynesian cuisine, which might sound odd at first, but I assure you it works! I ordered their qesa-birria tacos and they were heavenly. The broth for dipping was the highlight for me. My friend went for the BBQ chicken and said it was one of the best he’s had. The prices are low and portions big, making it a great place for a quick eat. The only thing I wish is for a bigger dining area as it gets crowded quickly. " (*Curated Review*)
