“II had a reward for free guacamole it’s always great to get free stuff. I ordered the carne asada bowl it was yummy. Will return soon…“

“This is a small place, but it’s very clean and well-kept. Even the restroom was spotless, which I really appreciated. The staff—especially the friendly young lady—were very welcoming and kind.

The shrimp tacos were delicious“

“I got the 3 tacos combo with beans, rice, and a drink @ $19. Best tacos in order fish was great. The fish and batter had a good flavor, next AL pastor was really good not dry, last the shrimp. Not that it was bad, not at all. I just had to make an list. Everything was good and I will be back.“

“Celebrated my birthday dinner with Viaje - it was amazing!🫶🏼 food 10/10, service was great as well. I really appreciated having a corner table so we could comfortably take pics. Try their house margarita (they can do raspberry) and tres leches cake 🍰 so yummy!!!“

“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.“

“Yumm rica comida buen servicio el personal muy agradable muy limpio el restaurante recomendado🥰👌“

“I finally have a local, good, and cost effective place near my house. So far I’ve had their cheese burger and fish ceviche. The burger was big and juicy. The fries were great. The fish ceviche was spiced so if you don’t like spice like me, ask them to put the vinaigrette on the side and add to your liking. But a good overall place that I recommend. They also do take out and call in for pick up. They do Door Dash and Grub hub too.“

“Muy buenos los recomiendo excelente servicio“

“Southern California has a LOT of great Mexican food but this place was next level. The carnitas burrito was had carnitas that was perfectly crispy and the flavor was great. The Birria del Rey plate was flavorful. The service was quick and friendly. The place had a great family vibe. Definitely going to make this a regular stop.“

“So delicious! Many selections for all palettes!“

“❤️🥰😁❤️😁🥰❤️😍🤩❤️😎🥳❤️ 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“

“when we want a tasty meal, we come here. always delicious“

“Delicioso, es como estar en Sinaloa“

“Definitely give this place a try! Friendly staff and delicious burritos - get em wet. The meat is very tender, the salsas and sauces have big time flavor and kick when you want it. Lots of tvs on the patio if you like that, but also open air if you don't.
Margs are wine-based, not full on tequila (But I don't think you'll notice.)“

“Alex! it's obvious you've never been to Don Ruben's Mexican food! The food is good the customer service is good I have no complaints I'm giving it a five-star review prices are excellent you can ask for more there's nothing fishy about it you need to get out and try something and if a place is good of course they're going to have all good reviews I feel sorry for you never seen a good place or tasted good Mexican food and I'm 100% Mexican so get out some try something new unless you're from another nearby restaurant trying to put a negative spin on something but don't revenge is excellent five stars for sure!“

“This place is SO good! I got the breakfast burrito and added cheese and avocado. Omg it was so big I had it for two meals. It was just as amazing for the second meal. Everyone that worked there was so nice, it had such a great family feel. A few customers came in while I was eating outside, and it was clear they were regulars - as i would be if I lived closer! Also, I dont eat meat and there were plenty of options!

There aren't any tables inside but there are a few outside with umbrellas if needed.“

“Friendly staff, excellent customer service. Food was delicious, salsa bar & mouthwatering hand made tortillas!“

“first time & i loved it. its a cute little place and prizes are good! Got a carne asada pambazo and it was DELICIOUS. i went straight to eating it, so forgot to take a photo 😅
ps they also got vegetarian options & you can pay with zelle.“

“la comida estava delisiosa, el mesero muy atento . excelente servisio“

“If you’re looking for authentic, homemade Mexican food, Mr. Valdez Mexican Restaurant is an absolute gem. This cozy mom-and-pop spot truly feels like a labor of love, with everything made fresh and full of flavor.

The mole is incredible—rich, comforting, and honestly reminds me of the kind my mom used to make. It’s one of those dishes that instantly feels nostalgic. And the chile verde? Finger-licking good. Every bite is packed with fresh, vibrant flavor.

Beyond the food, what really makes this place special is the people. The owners are some of the sweetest, most genuine folks you’ll meet—truly salt-of-the-earth. You can feel the warmth the moment you walk in.

This place has quickly become one of our regular spots, and for good reason. If you appreciate real, homemade cooking and kind-hearted service, you’ll love it here.“

“What a pleasant surprise! We stumbled across this place and decided to give it a shot for breakfast this morning... it instantly became our new favorite breakfast spot in OC. It was THAT good. Like, we're already planning to come try lunch here in a few days. The prices were very fair for the portion sizes (the breakfast burrito was huge!). Of course we had to try a couple of street tacos because my husband and I are kind of on a street taco kick right now, and omg. When I say their carne asada is the BEST we've tried so far - and we've tried LOTS - I am 100% serious, it is so freaking delicious! The al pastor too, soooo good. We can't wait to come back and try more! Also wanted to mention the gentleman at the counter who served us, I didn't catch his name, but he was so welcoming and kind. He might have been the owner, not sure. You HAVE to try Roman's if you're in the area... and even if you're not, it's worth going out of the way for. Amazing experience!“

“Es mi primera ves este lugar está más que recomendado el menudo woow 🤤🤤y las gorditas regresaremos pronto para probar lo demás ♥️y quedamos fascinados con la decoración que tienen me encanto dios los bendiga“

“Second time eating here and last time was a few months after they first opened. Tacos are still really good just a little overpriced for the size. Favorite one is la Paz fish taco on a purple tortilla. I like the 2 new added tacos which are the gobernador and the birria cheese. Michelada was ok.
The coffee stand is unique and I like their selections. Staff were all great.
Will try their menudo next time.“

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

“I just got back from going here with my daughter and I always recommend this spot to family and friends, I’ve been a fan of this place since I first went about four years ago.on a date. Such delicious food and unique options on the menu. I also like the atmosphere and the people that work there are always really friendly andcool people.“

“I work right next to this place & I tried it for the first time and can’t get enough of it now it’s nice & quiet & you get a piece of mind while you enjoy your meal I fully recommend 10/10 and the cook and host is nice and make sure I’m good every time I come !!“

“Had a really good time with my friend group. The food was really good. I would get the enchiladas again 100%!! The asada tacos are okay. Regular asada tacos. We also got the watermelon hibiscus pitcher to share, but its honestly not strong. Very watered down. The Margarita on the other hand, very strong. I would get that instead. Guac was also very good. Overall I would definitely come back and eat here. The vibe is good, the food is good, the service needed a little help though. There was several times our table needed something and there was no server to be found. Other than that, great spot. I’ll be coming back again when I’m in town.“

“La Taberna Jalisco is a hidden gem and a must-try for anyone who loves authentic Mexican food.

The food and service are both amazing. Hands down, the best fish tacos I've had. They keep me coming back every time.

If you haven't been yet, you're missing out!“

“This is an excellent restaurant in an attractive space with attentive service. For the quality, the price is more than fair.

The traditional ceviche with fish was fresh, complex, and came with multiple sauces. The empanadas were perfectly done, with the fish ones being a bit strong for our taste and the shrimp ones being really outstanding. We also had very rich, very filling Tacos Perrones whose fish was perfectly done. They serve fried tortillas instead of corn chips, which is both attractive and delicious. My only complaint would be that my margarita was kind of light on the alcohol.

Long Beach is lucky to have this place.“

“I came with my son for dinner. The place looks clean they have 4 tables only but place it’s inviting you know they sell Birria. I order the carne en su jugo. It’s delicious very tender savory flavorful with beans, bacon and onions accompanied by 2 cheese quesadillas . The 5 tacos dorados very well portioned. Meat was tender and tasty, salsa spicy and the consome had lots of flavor. The service was friendly, fast and guy answer all my questions. I’ll definitely come back. You guys should try.☺️“

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

“amazing food and customer service 👍“

“I highly recommended El Gallo Giro for the best carne asada burrito“

“Fantastic hidden gem! Located in north long beach, this authentic Mexican restaurant is absolutely delicious. They have plenty of nostalgic dishes that you may remember a loved cooking for you. They have soups, tacos, and special dishes such as costillitas con nopales. I was left very much happily satisfied. Parking is a nightmare, they have a small lot. It is a mom and pop shop, so please keep that in mind when you arrive. Seating is extremely limited, but they have a couple chairs out front to ensure you're taken care of. Please tip if you can as I'm positive a place like this is not common anymore these days. The ladies who serve and take orders have the most cute uniforms and friendliest of service. Anything upon request!!! Please ask before you do. They have a specific seating order and will be happy to accommodate when you ask! Oh they do serve alcohol, beers and margaritas 😬“

“The food was delicious, thank you 😁“

“my first time here. I ordered a carne asada burrito and it was super delicious.“

“What a fantastic dining experience I had! The atmosphere was absolutely beautiful, creating such a lovely vibe. And oh my goodness, those tacos were incredibly delicious! I'm already dreaming about going back to try the tamales next time. I can't wait!“

“This local spot in Whittier is a family's favorite. They're authentic and Their prices are reasonable. The food is spot on and the variety is plenty. Waking up on saturday morning to a menudito or chilaquiles is the best. Give this place a try and you will keep coming back. On weekends you can use all the parking spots from the other businesses but please do not block anyone. Be patient, good food takes time. Enjoy!!!“

“Very simple little place. I ordered a classic large bean and cheese burrito. My sibling ordered the carne asada burrito con todo. My burrito was perfect the beans very flavorful and plenty of cheese. My brother said his was perfect as well. The guy who made them had a large personality super friendly and hospitable. Very happy with our order.“

“Super nice service and food“

“the prices aren't are not that expensive they got some good food here and good staff“

“We come here often and it’s always a lifesaver when we’re tired and need food. Everyone is always working so hard and super friendly + great service overall. Really appreciate them. We just went again and Alonso was so helpful, quick, and got our large order together flawlessly with a smile on his face. Thank you 🙏🏻“

“Came here to watch FIFA USA game, the food was so good ! But the service was so amazing!!!! Staff kept checking in on us make sure we had everything we needed. You can tell they put a lot of time and effort into their food. I recommend the enchiladas de mole and the margarita flight (passion fruit was my favorite flavor)! Overall a very welcoming environment, I will definitely be back. If you’re looking for a place to catch your favorite team play i definitely recommend coming here !“
