As a self-proclaimed taco enthusiast, I was excited to try out the vegetarian street tacos from BS Taco Co. Nestled in the vibrant Belmont Shore neighborhood of Long Beach, CA, this quaint taco joint is located on 2nd Street, just across from the iconic Belmont Athletic Club and Murphy’s Pub. On a perfect sunny day, I decided to indulge in their scrumptious offerings, and I must say, I was not disappointed.
To begin my culinary adventure, I ordered three sets of bean tacos, each served with two mini crunchy taco shells, making a total of six. The tacos were generously filled with perfectly seasoned beans, fresh lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and a layer of shredded cheese, making each bite a delightful experience. The house-made red salsa added a zesty kick that melded well with the other ingredients, offering a perfect balance of flavors.
In addition to the bean tacos, I tried two potato tacos with the same mouthwatering preparation, but with a twist – a smoky mole salsa that took the dish to a whole new level. The salsa’s rich, earthy, and slightly sweet flavor complemented the tender and well-seasoned potatoes, making each bite truly memorable.
The mini crunchy taco shells deserve a special mention, as they were the ideal vessel for these veggie-packed delights. The shells were not too thick, yet sturdy enough to hold the generous fillings without breaking apart. The crispiness and subtle corn flavor of the shells enhanced the overall experience, allowing the taste of the veggies and sauces to shine through.
After grabbing my delicious to-go order, I strolled down to the beach on Ocean Boulevard, ready to savor my meal while taking in the picturesque view. The salty breeze and the sound of the waves crashing against the shore added a soothing ambiance that only enhanced my enjoyment of the tacos. With the sun shining brightly above, I couldn’t have asked for a better setting to appreciate the delightful creations from BS Taco Co.
To complete my SoCal experience, I enjoyed a banana Backwood blunt rolled with locally-grown OG Kush, a true classic of the area. The smooth, sweet notes of the banana wrap paired well with the earthy, pungent flavors of the OG Kush, creating a pleasant and relaxing sensation. It served as the perfect accompaniment to my flavorful taco feast, adding an extra layer of satisfaction and enjoyment to my day at the beach.
In conclusion, BS Taco Co. has successfully captured the essence of Southern California in their vegetarian street tacos. The combination of fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and the perfect crunch make their tacos a must-try for anyone visiting the Belmont Shore neighborhood. Eating these delightful creations with the sun on your face, the sand between your toes, and the soothing sound of the ocean in the background is an experience that should not be missed. I will undoubtedly be returning for more, and I highly recommend that you do the same.
