Los Reyes has delicious meats, spicy salsa, and a burrito that weighs at least 1 pound.
The food is amazing. Great Prices. The service is quick and efficient. The environment feels like home. Come try the quesadillas de maiz.
I wish they posted prices on the menu! I had to come back for the bean & cheese burrito - it's so good! $7 is a little steep but the tortillas are fresh and the burrito is big as hell. 100% worthwhile. The red salsa is straight fire.
Delicious authentic Mexican food! It's a hole in the wall but definitely worth it. Must try the quesadilla and taco gobernador!
My buddy and I were up in Long Beach, and found ourselves walking along some main street looking for a place to eat. We didn't want to lose our parking spot, so we walked over to different locales on a Sunday afternoon as dusk approached. We turned a corner to see if this place was open. Outside, we spotted a picture of some taco or quesadilla brimming with huitlacoche. Say no more--we're going in. My friend can't eat cheese products and therefore needed massive accommodations made to his order. I, however, ventured for some flavors I've only ever had a place called Aqui es Texcoco in Chula Vista: huitlacoche and flor de calabaza. Neither of us had any regrets about the order. The crisp on those (handmade??) tortillas made every bite feel like absolutely regal. I'd wager to say that these hefty quesadillas lorded over any others I've had. The flavors were intense and the portion felt enormous. I didn't even miss the meats as my two options were so delightful. Factor in that smokey sauce and I was in heaven. Yeah, our order took a while. So what? These are precisely the kind of flavor profiles I'm willing to wait for and pay for. In a world of cheap low-effort joints or overpriced glitzy nothingness, this hole-in-the-wall punches above its weight.
Tried this spot a while back after hearing they had authentic Mexico City tacos (June 2021). I was super disappointed after having them back then. They were dry and the tortillas tasted like they needed more cooking. The avocado was a nice touch, but didn't make up for it. It also took forever to get them even though they didn't appear to be too busy. I remember the person taking my order wasn't the friendliest either. Back then they had close to 870 followers on Instagram. I vowed never to go back. Fast forward to December 2023 and I see some delicious looking quesadillas on my Instagram feed. I took down their address (didn't recognize it) and drove on over. Low and behold, it's them. I busted a u-turn and went back home. Today, I was looking through Instagram again and they popped up because Brian Addison, who I follow, liked one of their pictures/reels. I trust the guy with food so I decided to give them another chance... so glad I did! This time, I ordered a quesadilla de asada. I was hoping to get their flautas in a cup, but the person taking my order said they ran out (around 4pm on a Sunday), so I settled for the taquitos dorados (two chicken and one potato). The quesadilla was absolutely delicious. A 10/10 and a must have. The potato taco dorado was a 9/10 and the chicken taco dorado was a 6/10 (chicken was a bit dry). They provided curtido (fermented cabbage) which was cool, so I added some of that to the chicken taco dorado. It made up for the dryness a bit. I made sure to order ahead this time. Looking at the reviews, it doesn't look like that's improved. I got there 20 minutes after placing it and it was ready to go. They didn't skimp out on salsa, which is always appreciated. This time around, the person at the register was much friendlier than the person that helped me out a couple of years ago, so that's another improvement. Looking forward to coming back for another quesadilla and trying some other items out. LBfoodcoma (on IG) recently featured their tamales and they look delicious, so I'll have to give them a shot. They are now up to over 5,000 followers on IG. Wishing them continued success!
Just tried this place as they were catering at The Beach Flea Market at LB City College. Had the shrimp and cheese tacos and the carne asada tacos! The shrimp tacos were amazing, want more!! The carne asada was also good, mostly the meat, but still felt like something was missing. All their other food looked very good as well. Can't wait to try them again!
Tried this place today for the first time, and I'm sad it took me so long to get in here! We tried carne asada, al pastor, and papas quesadillas. They were all delicious. The salsa was tasty too. We also had the pina agua fresca. Everything was great. I can't wait to come back and try more things. The cakes look delicious too!
