" I stumbled upon El Rubio's Jr by accident while looking for lunch. My expectation was not high as it looks like a small market, but wow was I surprised! The tacos were great; they had a fresh taste and generous fillings. The service was friendly, but there was a bit of a wait during peak hours. However, I didn't mind because I could grab some drinks and nachos while I waited. Highly recommend their tortas and salsas too! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you ever find yourself in Long Beach, do yourself a favor and swing by El Rubio's Jr. They’re not just a taqueria; they’re like a little slice of authentic Mexico. Their tacos get an A+, especially with the house-made salsa. The service was quick and attentive, even during busy hours. My only critique is the parking; it’s tough to find a spot, but that's a minor detail considering how good the food is! " (*Curated Review*)

" Very disappointed. I read all the great reviews and had high hopes for this place. The service was slow, and my order was mixed up. When I finally got my tacos, they were dry and lacked flavor. I would not recommend driving out of your way for this place. The prices are reasonable, but the quality didn’t meet my expectations. Maybe I just hit it on a bad day, but I won’t be coming back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Rubio's Jr is a fantastic spot to grab authentic Mexican food. Their burritos are phenomenal and you can taste the freshness of the ingredients. The staff is friendly and they prepare your order quickly. I love the complimentary sauces and toppings that they provide, it really enhances the experience. The only downside is the limited seating inside, but I usually take it to go. Definitely a repeat customer here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to many places for Mexican food, but the authenticity here stands out. The tacos are bursting with flavor, and I was particularly impressed by their carne asada. Each bite brought a taste of Mexico that I haven't experienced in a while. Plus, the customer service is incredibly attentive. I felt very welcomed from the moment I walked in. Though the seating is a bit cramped, it's well worth it for food this good. Can't wait to come back! " (*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*)
