50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Long Beach

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“❤️🥰😁❤️😁🥰❤️😍🤩❤️😎🥳❤️ 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“

“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.)“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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 😬“

“Very simple little place. I ordered a classic large bean and cheese burrito. My sibling ordered the carne asada burrito con todo.

Very happy with our order.“

“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)!

“My go to here is the wet birra burrito with red sauce. I don't live in Long Beach but make it a point to stop here when I'm in the area. Without exaggeration probably the best wet burritos I've ever had. I would highly suggest dining in for this experience, it makes a difference.“

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

“Super nice service and food“

“Went here after a horrible experience down the street at another restaurant.I walked in a grumpy jerk, and they were still so nice. They turned my day around. The food is made with care and is generously portioned. One look at their chip basket (freshly fried from hand made tortillas) proves they do not cut corners here! They are also polite, friendly, and professional, which is something you can no longer say about other restaurants in the area. It's clear from the patrons in the dining room that this is a well loved neighborhood hangout. Was told about this place by work friends, and have already told others about it. A real hidden gem!“

“Tacos Aztecas were delicious, reasonable prices, tortillas were just made by the mister, service was great, the young waiter very serviceable and nice, the restaurant is a small place but my supervisor, my coworkers and I were happy with the service and the food, first time there.“

“Good Food, Good Service 👍“

“The pretty young staff has a great friendly attitude, she takes the orders, serves the food, cleans up after you leave, checks on your needs and if everything is good.
She's a top tier employee.
I hope they treat and pay her very well. I'm a repeat customer because of her honest professional vibe. 👀🌠🎶👍🏼👍🏼“

“Winter today and got the osada burrito Asada burrito for my husband and the Asada tortillas for my daughter. Both said that they are the best that they have had in a while. The burrito was so big that my husband can't even finish it very well proportioned. I recommend this place to anybody because their food is awesome.“

“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.“

“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 love the food here and so good“

“I've patronized this business on many occasions. My experiences have been mostly positive. The food is good, however I do have high standards when comes to the food that I choose to consume. That's why prepare my own meals way more than I eat out. Anyway, I recently had lunch there on 5/31/26 and I had a minor incident with my cocktail. I found a piece of plastic in it which was believed to come from one of the garnish skewers that they used to decorate the cocktails. It was unfortunate because I was enjoying my meal and cocktail. My server Cynthia was great, her service was more than adequate. When I bought it to her attention she immediately called the manager over. The manager Bryce was very apologetic and professional. As far as I'm concerned, he couldn't have handled the situation any better. Although I didn't request or demand that my cocktail be comped, he immediately went to the bar himself and returned with a fresh cocktail for and offered to remove from my bill. I gratefully accepted his offer and finished enjoying my meal. Everyone makes mistakes, however how you make it right is what's important. Tequila Jacks was represented well by Bryce and Cynthia in that situation. They are to be commended. Thank you both.

“2nd time here and I love the atmosphere! Will come back again!“

“A small, local Mexican eatery with great service and drinks.

The GM, Ashley was extremely friendly and made suggestions for both food and drink.

The street tacos were sublime and the margaritas hand made.

We went back for breakfast and the breakfast burritos is HUGE!“

“Snow was so very helpful and friendly! We appreciated her asking about gluten free options- unfortunately we couldn’t eat anything being made at the restaurants but we were able to grab some quick “to-go” options!“

“Exelente servicio y muy buen sabor en los tacos“

“Cabeza 9
Carnitas 7
Lengua 3
Asada 8
Chicken 9
Buche 8
Chorizo 6

Respectable taco shop in the East Long Beach area. The tacos are a bit expensive at $2.5/taco, but the wet burrito at $11 is a steal! Taco meats are respectable, but tend to vary from visit to visit. Long line at lunch may take 20 min standing in the sun for an order.“

“The servers are friendly and food is delicious! Good prices.“

“The menudo is the BOMB! Love the Machaca con Huevos burrito as well! 😋“

“My now fiance and I used to live out in Cali in our teens and ate here all the time - no joke! We just came back into town for a visit and we knew exactly where to go - EL BURRITO GRILL! The head chef/owner we were ecstatic to see he still was in charge because the food was just what we were expecting. Delicious, comforting, authentic Mexican food. The portions are huge and you always leave happy and full with leftovers! It hasn't changed a bit and we are thrilled its still standing proud and strong!“

“The service was great they are very friendly and the food has a lot of flavor. I was not feeling great and wanted a soup or caldo and found them on google at the time I came they didn’t have caldo de res but she suggested albóndiga soup 🍲 and it was delicious. I will definitely come back to try their tacos and other food.“
