“ With historical presence in LB, their food has preserved OG quality as well! Over the years, we have eaten many quality dishes here....one of my favorites is, the BIRRIA Super Burrito with green salsa on the side. The salsa is served warm and delicious. The burrito is stuffed with tender beef and is a delight, even the next day! Some other favorites are Fajitas - any meat, Hard shell taco plate, and ceviche. All amazing! 100% Recommend! ”
“ I've come here for birthday dinners with my favorite people for years and it's never disappointed. The staff is great (Sandra and Adal) and adjusted to a last minute seating change quickly and calmly. Even when there's a wait you know you'll be taken care of. The food is delicious and the drinks are well poured. It's a bit loud but it's fun to people watch too! ”
“ One of my favorite spots when I want Mexican cantina food in Long Beach. Service is excellent and the food is very good. Very fresh guacamole and 2 different salsas. ”
“ Not my first visit here with coworkers and it definitely won't be my last. The food and the atmosphere definitely authentic. The service also did not disappoint!! ”
“ We had a fantastic lunch at Los Compadres! The Caldo Mixto, packed with shrimp, fish, and octopus, delivered an exceptional depth of flavor. The Gobernador tacos stole the show; crispy tortillas stuffed with tender shrimp sautéed with bell peppers and melted cheese created a perfect harmony of textures and tastes. The fish, shrimp, and octopus ceviche was generous, fresh, and delicious. The Fajitas de Res, with tender steaks, onions, and peppers, had a beautiful presentation, great flavors, and was absolutely fantastic. I also recommend requesting the salsa casera--a smoky and flavorful salsa made from charred tomatoes and peppers. Every dish we've tried so far has been absolutely delightful. I highly recommend this restaurant!!! ”
“ Food is delicious and everything is fresh . Staff is attentive and are constantly checking up On you to see if you need anything else . I ordered Ensenada style fish tacos and they were delicious . My husband ordered a carne asada wet burrito but he did mention that the enchilada sauce tasted like It was canned . I ordered an horchata and it was so yummy and refreshing just wish their glasses were bigger because yes they are pretty but they are too small. The ambiance was very nice . Overall I had a great experience and would definitely recommend. ”
“ I had company dinner party last night. It was great to have amazing foods, cocktails, and service. I noticed the parking is still issue there. That is why I got there an hour earlier. The bartender was cool, the staff are so friendly, the chips and salsa, guacamole dip are all fresh, delicious. I tried again fajita mixte, chicken, shrimp, and beef for the 2nd time. So good!!! My hubby joined our dinner and he liked his hard shell shredded beef taco plate. We had a great time. Always good foods and services!!! Thanks. ”
