50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Long Beach

“Delicioso, es como estar en Sinaloa“

“Fourth time ordering their green chilaquiles + asada . Really good, authentic taste. I always like the presentation of their plates as well. :)

I've tried their chicken salad and it was fresh and good size.

Their churro balls are bomb!

I also like that they offer home-cooked meals and local vibes. Affordable and diverse menu too for Mexican and American food.“

“Overall it was good , female bartender very nice Taller gentlemen very nice JT, most everyone , very nice welcoming , bareback or guy behind bar gave off a uncomfortable vibe , his facial expressions told the story , if he treated any of my customers like that I would fire him , I didn't eat since my appetite was destroyed by guys horrible vibe , he was very nice to 2 women giving them drinks but when 1 of them offered me her shot , the look on the bartender guy was angry , my 1st time there so his actions where for nothing NOT GOOD SPOT I WOULDNT GO BACK“

“Had 6 tacos and breakfast burrito. Very good for the price, portion is good. Arrived earlier than store hours by mistake but owner was very welcoming and start my order right away. Will return to try out next item on menu. Cash only. Parking street is typical of 4th Street, aka none.“

“Had an amazing meal in a chic and cozy booth with spot-on decor, food presentation & atmosphere. Great margaritas!“

“Love Joe’s the food is amazing!“

“Me and my son and my daughter had breakfast there in the atmosphere was great the staff was really friendly it was like a home away from home and we enjoyed every minute of it thank you so much I live up the street and we'll be coming back here at least once a week for sure!!!?❣️“

“The staff here is very friendly. The manager welcome you as you come in and thanks you as you leave. Food is fresh right off the grill and very tasty. I had their nachos and a two piece. Surprisingly the chicken breast was very juicy. Will see ya guys again soon. Keep up the good work.“

“El fin de semana celebramos la quinceañera de mi hija en Rivera's Restaurant y todo estuvo excelente. Desde el primer acercamiento George siempre fue muy amable y comprensivo con lo que esperábamos para nuestra fiesta. La decoración y sobre todo la comida y atención a nuestros invitados fue excelente. Estamos convencidos que volveriamos a tener otro evento con ellos.“

“I really enjoyed this place. The atmosphere was great and the food was delicious. This was my first time here but definitely won’t be my last. My hubby had the menudo. He said it was heavenly. I had a veggie quesadilla that was very good. I also had a cheese enchilada (which was average). The also have a small parking lot which is always a plus.“

“The wet burrito is large and very good. I really dont have much to say besides everything was really good, im content, I got a big wet burrito that's very saucy, and I appreciate the good service from beginning to end. First time trying this place but I probably will for sure come here again when I crave a wet burrito, also you can pick all your toppings for I would assume a majority, if not all, of their items so thats pretty cool.“

“Today was our first time here...and OMGosh...it did not disappoint! Friends & family have recommended Los Compadres and finally got to try this place! Food was sooo DELICIOUS, friendly atmosphere, customer service was EXCELLENT! We definitely will be going back...we cant wait to try other food on the menu...totally recommend it!“

“The venue is cute, the decorations are authentic, you feel like you step into a warm family’s home. It’s a family owned restaurant and you are greeted with a warm staff, all happy to help and guide you through the experience. In my foodie adventure chronicles, my friend brought me here for dinner and we enjoyed a hearty and delicious dinner, everything was cooked with love and the seasonings were amazing. We had the tacos with rice and beans and the flautas. We wrapped up our dinner with the delicious churros with ice cream dessert. It was such a good experience and the food was AMAZING. Will come again to try the rest of the menu when possible.“

“Awesome Chile rellenos the only issue I had was a bit pricey for what I actually got my girlfriend loved it we actually went back for more two days later we asked for chips and salsa I got a nice big bag with a large container of salsa so all in all a nice place to visit I just wish it was a little less than almost $20.00 for 2 Chile rellenos with some lettuce on the side and pico de gallo still ok once in a while but if you have the budget then yes I do recommend this place as a nice way to spend a nice evening with someone special dating etc.“

“❤️🥰😁❤️😁🥰❤️😍🤩❤️😎🥳❤️ We love Enrique's and their entire family ! They are such wonderful, kind and loving people who help so many people in need and we all love their food and we love them XOXOXOXOXOXOXO Love, Chris and Larry Laulhere“

“Realmente la comida es deliciosa 😋“

“Great food , great taste very delicious food yummy yummy“

“There are many Mexican Grill restaurants that exist but none of them are anything like La Chancla. The food is rooted in grass roots to the core Mexican meals. Set up like a chipotle where you can see the meal prep in front of you, minus the corporate restaurant vibes. The music is bumping here and this "hole in the wall" is more like entering a wonderland. Reasonably priced and food packed with flavors that will leave you satisfied. They're true to themselves and show you with their art why you can count on and bet on them for a fulfilling meal. La Chancla has changed the game and set the standard for me as far as what real Mexican food just like home is like.“

“Ponchos has great food wonderful lunches“

“The food is good and the staff is friendly. However they need to be trained to operate the cash register better. I bought a $11 burrito and was charged $3.28 cents tax. The tax should have been around $1.10. Maybe the added $2.18 was added gratuity.“

“This place is the very best spot in Long Beach. ❤️👍 Believe me, I KNOW excellent Mexican food. My long search for a place to eat lunch is OVER. This place is it from now on. The service was fast and friendly too. 👍
The plate was so hot it can burn you. It was so good.“

“We participated in the DineLA offering which was a delicious meal at a really good price. The service was a little slow, but they were very busy as it was a Friday night. We had a 7:30 reservation and it was after 9 before we were able to leave. It's a good restaurant though and we frequently go.“

“Good Food, Good Service 👍“

“best place to eat and friendly“

“My family has been coming here since I was a child. Their menu has changed over the years, but we've stayed loyal to them throughout. They have something for everyone. We all have our go-to's. Mine is their green wet burrito (vegetatian).“

“It’s our favorite Mexican Restaurant in LB.“

“Came in for taco Tuesday and got a great deal for the price.

2 Smoked Brisket tacos which were maxed out portion wise, Rice, beans, chips and an Horchata to wash it all down for under 10 bucks…

Can’t beat a deal like that with a stick even if you wanted to! Not to mention the tacos were great, the Brisket was tender and very flavorful. Staff were very friendly as well.

If you’re looking for a good taco Tuesday deal don’t sleep on Hole Mole.“

“Excellent service. Excellent food. Definitely returning. Thanks!“

“We were grounded and had to spend a few more hours at LGB. Brian made the wait enjoyable (at the bar next to Taco Beach). We had some eats and a few cocktails. Food was good. We had the burger and some nachos. The chips had a great crunch. Oh man and if you like heat- ask him for the SPICY salsa. It’s not for the meek. Thanks Brian! We’ll see ya the next time we come through LGB!“

“Friendly atmosphere and home style cooking. It reminds me of eating at my grandma's house.“

“Great food! friendly staff“

“love this place everything is good.“

“Really flavorful food. Great taste. Nice atmosphere. Had a couple dishes, Cocacho Relleno and a Fried Fish. Also the agua fresca de piña was good. Prices are reasonable for the amount of food you get. Service was ok. I would come back to try more. Only negative thing was parking.“

“As far as authentic Mexican food goes, you won’t find better. Some of the items we really love are, any of their soups, carnitas, birria tacos are some of the best I have ever had. For breakfast the chilaquiles or this yummy deep fried crusted French toast. Don’t forget to try an aqua Fresca they are made fresh daily. They also do a great job at catering. Their taco bar set up is fancy enough to have it at wedding.“

“I ordered the sopes with asada, and they were absolutely delicious! The meat was tender and flavorful, the toppings were super fresh, and the combination of crema and cheese brought everything together perfectly. You can really tell the food is made with care and love. I’m giving it 5 stars not just because it tasted amazing, but because this place truly deserves the support. If you’re looking for authentic, tasty food, this is the spot! Go check them out and show them some love. You won’t regret it!“

“Agradable lugar.La comida muy rica y el personal muy amable.“

“I was doing some plumbing there, and out of gratitude they offered us some lunch...man that food was so good. I had a burrito and a Mexican drink that was like purple...it was so good I'm working down the street again and am about to back, just wanted to take a second and write about how great thier food was.“

“I don't know where they got their recipes from but for the price and the service, their food is delicious and the service is even better. Definitely get any taco with rice and beans

Kid-friendliness: There are booths for family seating

Wheelchair accessibility: No automatic door, but there are no steep walkways“

“Only stand I go to, best pastor tacos, can’t be beat“

“Food is fantastic and the bartenders are the best !! Posole on Sundays with JoAnna and Jesse !!!!“

“In Long Beach for a cruise I will take tomorrow with Princess! Staying at the Hilton near by and came across this fabulous place. The food is delicious and the price is just right! So was the service. I’m Dominican from Orlando, so if you ever come this way, stop by!“

“I got the 2 tacos and beer for 6$deal. Fresh Ingredients and a superb flavor. been coming to this establishment for 10+ years. The food is always delicious no matter what you order. The carna asade is so juicy and flavorfull with that green salsa. I always enjoyed the carnitas here. I brought my mom here as well may do it again on friday!“

“the food has always been fresh the cook in the back always tries I order food not on the menu and they get it right all the time..the atmosphere is quite and calm plenty of parking wheelchair accessible you have to come and check it out for the authentic flavor and friendly atmosphere...“

“Visiting from Arizona where I have great Mexican food at our favorite places. Hacienda Ruan has great Mexican food too!!! Had beef taco, cheese enchilada, rice and beans. All of these were excellent and authentic, made in the style I really like.
Olga was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely return.“

“Head to Leo's for the best Taco Tuesday deal in town! This place never disappoints and the service is pretty quick! (considering how busy they get for lunch)

You can choose from all the traditional options like chicken, carne asada, al pastor, carnitas for street taco style. Or try the fried potato taco to mix things up. My current favorite is the fish taco, which is served with pico, lettuce and spicy mayo. Regardless of the preference, these tacos are $1.75 on Tuesdays (and Fridays). I also grabbed an order of chips and salsa for $1. They have a fresh salsa bar with all the accoutrements including 4 different salsa varieties, limes, onions, cilantro and marinated veggies.

I have also swooped in on non-taco days for breakfast burritos which are also super delicious. I do wish this place had margaritas, but I'm not going to deduct a star for that.

Edit: shout out to Ashley who takes all the orders and never gets it wrong!“

“First time here, I am not mad at it. They were quick to make my food even though I ordered a torta. The cashier was very friendly and welcoming. Was recommended by my partner. This spot is clean and they have several tables inside where you can sit. Their postress and flan looks so good. Def will come back when I get some money in my pockets. Their salsa verde was 🔥“

“Exelente servicio y muy buen sabor en los tacos“
