Pleasantly surprised to have this experience of flavor, ambiance and service. We normally go to Nico’s or Marlena because of its consistency of flavor and location to home. Viaje is the equivalent and then some. The chef is from Mexico City and is the real deal. The food, starting off with the ceviche 9/10, ribeye appetizer 10/10, branzino 10/10 and then the dessert of the tres leches 10/10. Ok, so you don’t quite believe me, well, try 11/10 for the consume broth for the lamb appetizer!! David was our server recommended we just try the broth since we were so full. We were dipping tortilla chips into the broth like little kids it was so good!! It didn’t matter how full be were!
Food all came out timely and together nice and hot. It’s rare to have everything taste that good from start to finish. Price may be an obstacle for most, but doesn’t break the bank like a Michelin Star place. Viaje is one of those restaurants that need to stay on 2nd St…it is the very best on that strip if not all of Long Beach.

Came here for NYE and exceeded all expectations. Ordered the aquachiles, barbocoa flautas, Zuchinni blossom quesadilla, the chicken mole, branzino, skirt steak. And Everything was delicious and so flavorful!! Service was attentive and warm. Food took a little longer but it also could have been how much food we ordered. 12/10 experience!

Totally impressed so much that we made Christmas Eve reservations for my family flying out from Chicago. They left a voicemail 5 days before Christmas Eve saying they won’t be open and cancelled our reservation . I WOULD NOT BOOK THIS PLACE FOR ANYTHING IMPORTANT

We chose this place for an engagement dinner for 16 guests. The service was so amazing and the food was so delicious! We had an amazing time and we loved the fact that they personalized our menus. It was such a sweet touch.

Viaje is one of my favorite places now! The food was truly delicious — every dish crafted to perfection. The carnitas were absolutely delicious, the salmón al pastor the best I’ve ever had, and the ceviche outstanding. Mexican gourmet with a modern touch, plus crafted cocktails that were spot-on :) The space is beautiful, the décor carefully curated, and the music at the perfect volume to give ambiance while still allowing real conversation. Service was attentive and warm. I’ll definitely be back!

Every time we go here I'm extremely pleased. The cocktail menu changes frequently with innovative drinks and creative combinations, and the happy hour drink menu is also different! So plenty of options each time you go.
Last night for dinner, we had the Carnitas and the Arrachera. Both were incredible, but I favored the Carnitas. Good food. Great atmosphere. A must in Belmont Shore and Long Beach.

Stopped in for drinks and dessert tonight and the service was fantastic. Great warm dimly lit ambiance and everything was delicious - great selection of creative Mezcal cocktails.
The tortilla and pulpo were stand outs, along with the mezcal cocktail.

So the food was fabulous. Waiter was wonderful I don't recall his name at this time it's my fault , Brianne who originally made our reservation was also wonderful everybody was very kind. Food was wonderful really really Good. The downside for me personally was We started out with the reservation for 16 It did go up to 21, it was during the week, day before Halloween so it wasn't really busy but it wasn't exactly slow It was actually very quaint, We did not do a preset menu. I never do that because you never really know if people are coming for drinks they might just want some snacks they might actually want meals which then they can order but I don't usually like to do that I let people decide.. they also told me that cupcakes did not have a service fee, but they later backtracked said new management said charge. Which we didn't actually bring cupcakes we brought little high tops from Frosted up the street those were magnificent and I set up my own little table decorations which again they were very helpful and very kind. Last minute about four people didn't show up so they did in fact charge me per person for people not showing up, (about 5 )as well as $3 per person for my hi top cupcake sandwiches. they didn't have cakes and it would have been ridiculous to buy 17/18 individual desserts would have been ridiculous price wise clearly. Again don't get me wrong definitely would go back definitely small party three four people regular reservation would definitely stop in for dinner even do take out drinks were also really really good. Overall the evening was very lovely My daughter did enjoy herself

Great food, all pork items were amazing. Great spot to go with friends.
We've been meaning to try out the this place since it opened and what better excuse than an expiring resy credit from Amex Platinum.
Good attentive service in a modern and dark space.
Food was delicious and on point. The ceviche was flavorful and so was the black ink aguachile.
The lamb portion was massive!
We will definitely be coming back to try more dishes.

I went here for one of my dearest friend’s birthday. We watched the world go by while the most delicious food and drinks came to us. Fresh and savory food perfect for sharing. The quesadillas with flor de calabaza and hongo were made with quesillo, fresh simple melty cheese and crispy tortilla. Everyone enjoyed the crispy potato and mushroom tacos. The service was outstanding. Special events or happy hours this place is an all around gem in Long Beach.
