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.“

“Wow, just wow... what a great experience. Not your average Mexican cuisine, more like Mexico City gourmet... not that I don't love me a good street taco. Came for my birthday and everything was damn near to perfect... even the suggested Mexican wine turned out to be amazing. Watch out California...“

“Tito's is really good. We decided to eat there based on the all the positive reviews and sure enough, it checks out! Excellent breakfast burrito is enough for two people. Parking is going to be tough though. If you're lucky, you'll get a spot close to the store. Otherwise prepare for a bit of a walk. Worth it though!“

“❤️🥰😁❤️😁🥰❤️😍🤩❤️😎🥳❤️ 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“

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

“Service was good food was good. Small place but great will go back. They had a large party and looks like they just started so they offer to give free fruit drinks because the large party was taking their present. Portion was not small but not to little. Come and enjoy.“

“Love Joe’s the food is amazing!“

“The food was amazing, the service was great. The patio and dinning room were close for some reason, but it didn't matter I got my food to go. My friend told me about this place. I was just in the area for work, but I'd definitely recommend this place!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“My husband ordered the machaca plate that was delicious. I ask for the cheeseburger with fries (my bad). The taste of the machaca plate was way better than my order. But we have a good time here. Taste of Mexico in Long Beach. 👍
Good service. Love the people 💕
Cozy place. 🙂“

“I recently had dental work done and needed some of the ingredients finely chopped. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. They listened to my needs and went above and beyond to fulfill them. I am very happy with the service. Now on to the food. The food tasted great and was very refreshing. I had a boss bowl with al pastor. They were able to chop everything up for me so I would have very minimal chewing. I'm glad I decided to try this place out for the first time. I missed eating delicious food. Looks like I found my go to place to eat when I get sick of this liquid diet.“

“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 😬“

“Ponchos has great food wonderful lunches“

“Always excellent food, margaritas, and prices. I am still sad they got rid of the “Mexican pizza” from the kids menu last year, it was one of the only things my son with autism would consistently eat while dining out. But they still have great dishes overall- shrimp tacos are the best!“

“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!“

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

“I had to taco 🌮 plate, delicious food & got chips and Salsa...“

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

“Amazing food and service! Don't live anywhere close, but if we ever come back we'll definitely stop by again. We celebrated our bdays and anniversary, and we couldn't have picked a better place. Bartender was very nice and all the drinks he made were great! Thank you!“

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

“best place to eat and friendly“

“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!“

“Praise YAHUAH THE LORD!!!!

Got some brisket tacos, fish and shrimp.

A fellow reviewer ordered the Mini Plate and 2 tacos and they assisted me with taking the photo of their order. Thanks for the assist, You know who you are 😁“

“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.“

“Chanclazo tacos are tortillas smothered in melted cheese with a mole-style sauce on top. Filling portions wrapped in a tortilla gooey with cheesy goodness. The rajas and soyrizo tacos are amazing. I will note that it seemed like they were training new staff when I went so it required some patience but the execution was perfect so the time it took was worth the wait. If you’re thirsty the agua frescas are huge and generous, I got the mango and it was great. The pepino agua fresca looked super fresh and tasty too.“

“Exelente servicio y muy buen sabor en los tacos“

“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!“

“Super nice service and food“

“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.“

“Bryce took care of my friend and I last night and gave the best customer service experience I’ve ever had! He was incredibly polite and helpful. We were more than pleased with everything about our date and want to thank him again for being so awesome.“

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

“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!“

“La birria está muy rica ...!!! (chivo) RECOMENDADO!!!“

“I didn't order any food (it loosk fantastic though!) but I sat at the bar for a drink and my bartender Brian was beyond amazing. Honestly my favorite airport as someone who is a very new and nervous traveler. Everyone here is great. Highly highly recommend skipping LAX and John Wayne to come here. It's the best 😊“

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

“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.“

“We stopped in here for a drink before we went to dinner and had been here once before. The bartender is super! He makes the absolute BEST skinny margarita I've had in a long time! The first time we went we had some nibbles and enjoyed that as well. I would recommend this place it is a small place but very charming!“

“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.“

“Ordered their awesome breakfast burritos. Such a great deal for $7.50. Each burrito is at least half a foot and filled with goodness.

Six variations of burritos here:
- Ham
- Bacon
- Beef Machaca
- Egg and Cheese
- Chorizo
- Sausage

I called ahead the night before to make sure my order would be available the next morning so I could just pick up and pay on my way to work. Completely honor based and I was good for word. LEO's delivered on the product.

I was told to pay cash or via Zelle. I didn't realize they did not take credit cards. Oops. I came up short for 24 burritos. I made my way to F&M on 3rd Street to use their ATM. No big deal. There's also a corner store on the next block south that has an ATM machine but I didn't want to incur those pesky fees.

Paid and then had to hit up the salsa bar and package my own little containers. It's cool if you have a couple of burritos but with an order for the size of my small department, it took way too long to package. I packaged an entire plastic bag of salsa, onion, jalapeños, and pickled carrots.

Easy to order but picking up did not go as smoothly as I hoped due to the payment SNAFU.

Office raved about the burritos. So hearty and delicious.

TIP: If getting a large order of breakfast burritos, call ahead and pick up all your commendable condiments from the grocery store.“

“Buy 1 of each tacos…………..“

“Great place, great people. Food was out of this world. We had the oysters, ceviche combo and camarones a la diabla. The oysters and ceviche were amazing, and the camarones a la diabla were exceptional! They made it extra spicy and it was perfect.“

“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.“

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

“The food is delicious...the tamales are fantastic especially the pork ones and their sopes also delish oh and let’s not forget their tacos take ur pick any of them are delightful 😋😋😋 it’s a small place so it’s best to go at odd hours not around lunch or dinner time...but when u go u will not be disappointed I guarantee it!!“

“I’m so happy to have this restaurant in my community. The damn thing is the size of a closet and makes fantastic food and I have yet to see anyone (customer or employee) not smiling.“

“love this place everything is good.“
