We went on a Sunday for brunch, and we waited an hour. The atmosphere was entertaining, and we made friends with all the other folks waiting. The food was ok, our server was great, and the chef must LOVE Oregano. It's in everything!!

Where do I begin… Rivera’s on 7th in Long Beach. Wow. It was like a religious experience. Check it out if you’re in town - you won’t be disappointed! It’s as authentic as you can get, and clearly cooked with love. If Google had 10...Read More

Last take-out order is 7:30 pm and dining room closes at 10 PM. Food tastes authentic here. I like that they don’t skimp on veggies and herbs like other Mexican restaurants. It makes a difference. Everything taste home-made: cooked with love. Chicken Tortilla soup: 5/5. The best I have ever...Read More

Heaven Authentic Delicious Family owned and run. Jorge in the front with his wife and the parents cooking. They have a hot Diablo salsa. Tangy with a kick. Some places you want to support and give your money to… this is one of them. Enjoy

Ordered one soft chicken taco to go. It was a good size, since I was expecting a street taco. The flavor was good, but the two tortillas that it was wrapped in, the outer one was hard...not sure if it was over cooked or old. ...Read More

I think we’ve been coming here for the menudo since 2009? It still is some of the best menudo around. I just had the Albondigas the last time we stopped by, very good!!! I was not disappointed.

We went there for lunch with Chef Paul. It’s a cozy spot with sweet decorated interior. The food is delicious (and I am not a fan of Mexican cuisine ;-)) we could adjust our dish so I think it was awesome!
