The East Side Longos or ESL is a Latino American gang that was formed in Long Beach. Their enemy's are all Asians, and rival gangs are the Nortenos and Fresno Bulldogs, ESL identify the color grey, blue and black they may use the sports team Raiders. The gang was formed in Long Beach, California.
The East Side Longos, claim areas around MacAuthor Park, located on Anaheim Street and are primarily based in Central Long Beach. Their territory stretches from Daisy Street to Junipero Ave between Pacific Coast Hwy and 4th Street. They share this region of Long Beach with three of their main rivals the Rollin 20 Crips and the Insane Crips as well as Barrio Probe.

Their other cliques consist of the Malditos (Little Bad Ones), Night Owls, Primas (female clique), Stoners, Pee Wees, Tiny Locos, Dog Town, and the Chicos Malos (CMS).
On August 31, 2001, the Los Angeles City Attorney sought a gang injunction against members of the Eastside Longo. The injunction had to be broken down to cover two areas, due to the Eastside Longos having the largest geographical area in Long Beach. However, after the injunction police noticed an increase in gang-related crimes.
The Varrio Longos 13 and the East Side Longos harsh treatment towards different ethnic groups are the primary reason for the formation of Asian, Samoan, Cambodian, Laotian, Vietnamese street gangs such as the Tiny Rascal Gang and the Asian Boyz.
In Fresno California they started to gang up on a Bulldog member of a different criminal group and was harassed by one of the East Side Longos, the victim was harassed a couple times then committed suicide, later the victims older brother showed up with a Luger pistol killing several unarmed Longos that were formed in Long Beach living in the city of Fresno California. The East Side Longos responded with several shootings at the Fresno Bulldogs.
