Top 7 Mexican food in Long Beach, California, United States
Reviews on Mexican food in Long Beach, California, United States. For some, a tour of the Queen Mary, docked here since its retirement in 1967, evokes waves of nostalgia for the days of the huge ocean liner with its opulent rooms, 1930s deco décor and teakwood decks. Others, particularly the younger set, are entranced by the spine-tingling haunted ship stories on the nighttime ghost tour. But for everyone, a visit to this floating hotel and museum is a must on any trip to Long Beach. At one time a less-than-appealing place to visit, Long Beach has transformed itself into an upscale tourist resort, with many waterfront attractions, including a new, state-of-the-art aquarium with a fabulous shark exhibit, two excellent art museums, charming shops, public golf courses, the annual April Grand Prix international auto race and lots of recreational activities along its eight-mile stretch of beach. Take the kids to the waterfront entertainment complex with rides and live performances or to the farming demonstrations at Rancho Los Alamitos. Feeling romantic? Cruise the canals of Naples (that's right, Naples Island in Long Beach) in a genuine Venetian gondola. One thing is for sure: tensions and stresses dissolve in this laid-back, friendly city.

Don't expect a sit down service type meal but if you are looking for the best authentic tacos (and other Mexican) than this is your place. Get in line and place your order. Don't forget to order one or even two beers so you don't have to get in line again. Go enjoy the incredible salsa bar while you wait for your food to be delivered to your table. The Mahi taco and the shrimp taco are a must!

Fabulous restaurant, great live music, heaters for outside seating, fantastic service and delicious food. One person in our party had crutches so we needed the shortest way to the restaurant from our car. The shortest way was parking by "John Garey Fitness and Pilates" and taking the sidewalk pathway to Playa Amor. We initially tried to park by BevMo, but this was a much longer walk. Construction at this location should not deter you from eating here. It just made finding the restaurant more of a challenge. Hope you get a chance to eat here. We loved our dinner here!

A friend recommended Super Mex to us having lived in Long Beach and being a huge fan of Mexican food - we were not disappointed.Service was quick and often, the chips and salsa were so good - we had to tell them to stop bringing us more or we would keep eating them! Portions were quite large and so filling.Overall the drinks and food and service were all great and we would definitely go back!

My Husband and I had a late lunch. He ordered the Seabass which isn't on the menu. He thought it was delightful. The price $29.99. I ordered Chicken Veracruz for $16.75 and it was excellent. The Chips they serve are just ok because they aren't warm or salted and they were all broken and it also had too much Cilantro for me. If you like Cilantro it will be good for you. Overall great service and one of the best Mexican places in Long Beach!

Just visting Long Beach overnight, a friend found this cute little place near our Air B&B. My husband tried the Beerito to quench his thirst and he's been ranting about it ever since. Not being too much of Mexican cuisine experts, we relied on our friend to suggest a few items. I tried the evening special of a choice of two Tomales, my husband had Chicken Chiquiles with a side of Black Beans, and my friend had Pork Carnitas. All of them were so delicious. I couldn't believe the amount of pork my friend had on his plate! My husband was so impressed by the "Beerito" beer he had..thirst quenching and a definite compliment to the meal.

What a treat! We were coming off the ferry from Catalina and asked the parking attendant for a great Mexican restaurant. She sent us here and I wish I could go back and kiss her for the recommendation! The Waze app brought us right here. We were quickly seated. Chips and salsa had a spicy sweet kick to it. I got the lunch special Taco Dorados y Enchilada. It was a crunchy beef taco and chicken enchilada with green sauce. The crispy taco looked home cooked and the soft taco was so soft and buttery. Beans and rice accompanied and drinks were included. Everyoneâs meal came out but mine. We think they just forgot it. Luckily we didnât have to wait long before it arrived. The meal was wonderful. Restroom was single person only. It was clean.

We met friends there and had a ball. The atmosphere lends itself to have a fun time. The happy hour pricing on drinks was exceptional. Glad we got there before 6. Our server Maggie, was an absolute delight and added to our enjoyment of the evening.My wife had the Shrimp Lime Salad and liked it a lot. I ordered the Carna Asada Burrito and was disappointed. The burrito was bland and the refried beans were gray and pretty tasteless. But with that written we will go back for another happy hour.
