Tacos Lionydas - Long Beach

Tacos Lionydas emerges as Long Beach’s al pastor paradise, operating from 1772 Clark Ave with legendary trompo-cooked tacos that create irresistible aromas throughout East Long Beach. This beloved evening operation (6pm-12:30am daily) specializes in authentic al pastor featuring pineapple-topped vertical spit cooking that draws long lines of devoted customers. “Unbelievably good pastor that works with every dish they have on their menu. Combine that with the sweet aroma of the pastor being cooked on a spit with pineapple chunks just to lure everyone in…” Their $2.50 tacos showcase perfectly seasoned meat with traditional toppings, while their $10 burritos feature generous portions and unlimited salsa bar access. The operation includes carne asada, specialty items like asada baked potatoes, and an extensive salsa selection. “Their salsa bar and menu offerings, such as burritos ($10) and tacos ($2.50 each), are highly praised. Generous portions and high-quality products make it a repeat destination.” Despite past permitting challenges, this family-run stand has built a loyal following through consistent quality and authentic street-style preparation methods that rival Mexico’s best taquer??as.
