Daysha the light skinned bartender is literally the besttt!! she is so sweet and has great customer service. she was very fast with our drinks especially with how packed this club was. 10/10 recommend her!! read more

July 19th 2026 Sunday This spot did not have to many people inside for the FIFA world Cup Final match between Argentina vs Spain. It was very accomodating since everywhere else was packed! We wanted to find some shade as well since it was 90 degrees outside. In parallel to this event, there was a city event going on at the same time called Beach Streets. That event was awesome as well! We were hungry so we posted up here from our bike ride. My wife and I got ID'd just to come in. Why ID if it is a restaurant, did not make sense? We did not have a host to sit us. Sit as you see was the service provided. Once we sat the waiter took our order. We wanted Sangria but come to find out they had nothing in stock. A restaurant that is Spanish desent and has FIFA world cup soccer being televised with out Sangria wine. Big surprise there!. We ordered a pitcher of Margarita. 10 mins to drop off and took another 17 minutes for our waiter to take our order. Ordered ceviche, empenadas and Lomo Saltado. All received within a 15 min time frame. Not going to complain about the taste, all is good. Presentation and billing is my problem from my dissapointment statements listed below. To get to the point, my complaints of dissapointment in details. This place is expensive!! The presentation of the food delivered was nothing special. The quanity being served for $26 a plate did not do justice. $16 appetizers of Ceviche and Empenadas. The margarita pitcher was $55 and it was filled mostly with ice. Lacked liquor, a bit stingy on their serving. Received our bill, they automatically but a 20% service charge tacked on my bill! Keep in mind It is only two people not a party of 6. I want the option to decide myself if the waiter is worthy of a good tip with provided service. The guy was hustling trying to take everyones orders. What type of management understaffs on a FIFA World Cup Championship game? Just one guy taking care of the entire restaurant is not acceptable. He was nearly non existence on our stay. Also, what type of managent doesnt stock alcohol up for the big game? The place looks and feels runned down. Tables looked old, restaurant was hot. Plastic Forks and spoons provided with one napkin. Lol. Just full of dissapointments. My final bill came out to $140. The nail in the coffin for me to rate this place only 1 star was the automatic service charge attached. I disagree with this restaurants billing policy. They stronghold you to pay for service, even if the service is bad. Overall, the taste is good, but if your going to charge me $26 for a plate, at least give me some silverware and clean my tables. I have been here a few times since the early 2000s. This place needs a makeover. Tables are dirty outside and inside. Charging for high quality prices for a place that doesnt deliver the ambiance. Total dissapointment on my visit. "My experience only." Ask them to remove the service charge. Complete BS read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. This place has only two bathrooms, and the women's restroom is literally a single stall. The line is so long it spills into the dance floor, with people bumping into each other and drinks constantly being spilled. The floor is sticky, dirty, and honestly unsafe. I had just paid the waitress for a drink when staff suddenly started yelling that they were closed and began pushing people out. When I tried to use the restroom before leaving, I was turned away by an extremely rude and unprofessional employee. The cover charge is $15, and it's absolutely not worth it. The environment felt chaotic and uncomfortable, and I witnessed multiple instances of people being touched inappropriately. Overall, this was a terrible experience and I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

First time coming here, parking is either metered street parking (if you can find any), or paid lots. We went to a paid lot and walked to the restaurant. Before 10pm it's a restaurant and after it's a nightclub. Our waiter was great she got all of our stuff very quickly. After 10pm we had to go to the bar. The nightclub would get a little full since it's small. The restroom is on the other side of the location so you need to walk thru the dance floor to get to it There's only 2 restrooms, one for women one for men. The attendant let like 5 guys go in at the same time asm door is almost always left open (weird lol) and women restroom always has a line. I personally probably would never come here again lol read more

I purchased a Groupon and used it here tonight. I had a really nice time. Good drinks and very decent food. My server Claudia was very friendly and on point. I really enjoyed my experience here! read more

This place is cool for sure, but there's one bartender who is vibes for sure! Her name is Daysha(I hope I'm spelling it right) she's so sweet and attentive and baby she slangs them bottles!!! I've come 3 different times and she took care of us for my friends birthday and she did AMAZING!!! Great energy and she's beautiful! read more

HORRIBLE PLACE ! Food is absolutely DISGUSTING! Their service is a DISGRACE ! The vibes at night are HORRENDOUS! My girlfriend's phone got stolen right out of her purse, security and the workers were no help whatsoever. DONT waste your time and money here absolute waste of space in Long Beach , hopefully the establishment gets shut it down!! read more

DONT COME HERE. My phone got stolen out of my bag and security were no help whatsoever. Not a nice place don't waste your time here. It should get shut down and investigated. read more

My daughter's phone was stolen, little support from security despite recognizing the possible suspect.

KEEP AN EYE ON THE BARTENDERS WHEN BUYING DRINKS!!!!!!! MAKE SURE THEY ARE SHOWING YOU HOW MUCH YOU ARE BEING CHARGED INSTEAD OF GOING BY WORD OF MOUTH AND ASK FOR YOUR RECEIPTS!!!!! They WILL charge unauthorized tips. We went here on 11/22/25 for a night out. My boyfriend payed for two rounds for a group of 5. The bartender (short Latino dude who got mad anytime anyone asked for water as the dispenser they had out kept running out) stated that 5 palomas came up to $77. My boyfriend handed him his credit card and the man not only does NOT bring the machine over to have him sign but also blocks the view and did NOT provide a receipt. The second round was 5 vodka red bulls that also came out $77 and once again our friend strikes again taking the card and covering the machine so we can't see which was odd as every bar in the area would have YOU finish off your transaction. My boyfriend prefers to tip cash as he 'd rather give it to the person who services us. So we found it odd that a couple days later we go back and check and see that each transaction was charged an extra $10 each. We called another group member who also bought a round of 5 Palomas and she too was told it would be that same price and was charged $97. This man not only tipped himself on top of the cash tip but also did it to multiple people. Who knows how many others he has done it to that night let alone his entire time he's been employed there. Judging by reviews, more people have had similar issues and delt with bartenders who finessed more money out of people who were genuinely just there to have a good time. read more

Popped in here for a drink before starting the night. They have valet parking which makes it easy to get around pine Avenue. There was a sugar cane in my drink that I loved. The ambiance is great and their snacks were a good accompaniment to the drinks. Music and vibe were chill. The bartenders take care of you and it set the mood for the evening. read more

Place sucks, it's tiny and humid. They're a "nightclub" by night but it just seems like a school dance. Went with some friends and got kicked out bc a friend ate the ice from an EMPTY cup and they weren't 21 yet. I understand that but a warning would've set us straight. Security acts like you killed the president and won't hear u out. Def turned us off from coming back. Tell your security to relax and instead make sure ppl aren't getting harassed. Just go to fullerton for a better time. read more

I went here this past Saturday and it was packed. I went to the bar and this girl named Daysha took my order. She was super fast and my drink was bomb. The next few drinks I had I made sure to go to her. She's super friendly and knows how to handle a busy bar. I hate going to a bar and waiting forever for someone to take my order. If she's working you definitely won't have to wait long. read more

Came here on a Friday and Daysha (Dee) provided me and my friends excellent service. Her personality was very welcoming and she always ensured that me and my friends were taken care of. The customer service alone from Dee will be the reason me and my friends go back. The food was pretty good here too. The music was nice - just wish we could have more of a variety of sounds to enhance the vibes. However, if everyone gives customer service like Dee then I will forever give Alegria 5stars read more

Great music and vibes!! Definitely a place to go to on a Friday or Saturday night to dance. Look out for the bartender Daysha- she is a whole vibe and is super quick to get your drinks! Highly recommend this place to have a fun night out!!! read more

Such a great vibe!! Came to visit LB for some girl time and decided to stop in here. So glad we did, ended up being here the whole night and Daysha took great care of us! Highly recommend read more

Daysha was absolutely incredible! Professional. Polite. Kind. Knowledgeable. The vibes were amazing and Daysha made it happen for my table. Grateful for her and when I return I want her. Thank you! read more

This review has nothing to do with the restaurant itself. This review is to warn people about a bartender that's tipping herself more. She was a young light skinned African woman with long black hair. She's adding additional tip then what's given to her. I got a $9 beer and tipped $2 she added an additional $3. She also did the same to my friend's tabs. It's not about the amount but that's not right. read more

bartender was amazing!! Daysha was super efficient and served us will a smile! Such an amazing person!!

My first time here and Daysha was amazing! I will be back again for a date night ! The drinks she made us were amazing !

Daysha is such a great bartender ! I will be back it was my first time and she made it a great experience!

Our bartender Daysha was the best experience I had here!! she was quick to service me and my homegirls and made my experience here the best!!! ask for her and make sure you tip your bartender girl!!!! read more

Went to go have dinner with my wife waited more than an hour to get my food. They got it wrong twice gave me someone else's food the waitress Claudia gave me very bad service and then I was overcharged for three drinks and guacamole. First and last time there. Would never go back keep an eye on your receipt. read more

I'm saddened by having to give this rating to this place. The food was mediocre but what hurt the most was the red sangria. We often visited this place before the pandemic and the food was amazing, the drinks were always great and the restaurant was always full. The sangria which was the main reason why we would go there. This time it was a total flop. It tasted like fruit punch. We were the only ones in the restaurant with loud music. I see that the restaurant is now advertised as a nightclub. Well the music was as loud as it would be in a club. The waiter was pleasant but nothing over the top. Needless to say, this was my last time there. read more

My boyfriend and I went to this nightclub yesterday and we had a blast! The bar tenders impressed me with how quickly they turned around drinks for everyone and they were not stingy with the pours. The bartenders were walking around passing shots out and there was plenty of space to walk around the dance floor. The only thing that needs improvement is the amount of bathroom availability. I had to wait almost 30 mins to use the restroom. We will definitely be back! read more

Wanted to try this place since moving to CA and in my opinion it was as disappointing as all latino type cuisine in SoCal. The paella had frozen veggies like green beans, lima beans and zucchini for some reason. As you can see from the pictures it was a watery mess with huge chunks of peppers and and onions. Just bad. The other dish we got was the bistec a caballo which is flank steak with 2 eggs over easy. Eggs were raw not over easy, the bistec was ok. Potatoes were ok. Bottomless mimosas were room temp and the fountain soda was watered down. In my opinion, don't waste your money. Our server was fantastic, friendly and cordial. Sorry, she didn't give us her name. This restaurant is suffering from an identity crisis, perhaps if they stick to cuisine from a specific region they might do better instead of everything from every Latin country and failing. read more

I really wanted to like this place, but we had such a disappointing experience when it came to service. We went on a Friday night. At the time there were a total of 6 parties(including ourselves) at Algeria. I ordered Paella and my boyfriend ordered a non- paella dish. His food arrived first. We assumed that mine would be right out. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case... my paella came out 20 minutes after my boyfriend's entree arrived at the table (he had already finished his entire meal by the time mine arrived). I understand that things happen, but what was disappointing is all we got from the staff was an under the breath "sorry." The paella was great, but the poor service brought down the entire experience.o read more

Giving 5 stars because we had walked up and down that entire street, almost every bar we walked up to was empty but told us we couldn't go in without a reservation and also could not sit at the bar. Places were empty, it was shocking. Went to Algeria and saw the same thinking it was empty but we'd get pushed away, COMPLETE opposite!!!! It was so great!!!! We sat at the bar, had mimosas all morning. There was a DJ, nothing loud or crazy since it still was the morning but really made the brunch vibe better. The bartender was so sweet, little older man and was making new shots and always came on over to us to try something new. It's funny how things work out because this spot was probably the best vibe and energy here. The staff was so great!!!! Come here first before any bar read more

Food has totally changed the quality! very dissatisfying. From Frizen Mussrls to veal tasting old and no fresh!

Service ok. Food disgusting. Rice tastes like uncle bens. Ropa vieja was like mush. Vibe eh.

Came here Saturday night for Flamenco dinner. Show started 8 pm and our server Claudia rushed us to close the check to be ready to leave around 9:15pm. Paid extra fees for no reason (already paid everything online). Red Sangria was ok. Food was disgusting, very cheap. We got wrong order, Claudia said that was not our plate, i told her we already tried from the plate, but she took the plate away and served the same plate to people next to us ( so disgusting). Show dinner menu online and inside restaurant is not the same, they have better options online than what they provide over there (lame). Show was ok, singer, the guitar player was good, dancers were meh, not professional at all. Restroom smelled very bad and not clean at all. This was first and last visit to this place. My fault ignoring similar comments and still giving a shot. read more

-10 stars. Unless you like unauthorized $700 tips. I made the mistake of going here when COVID had just ended. They were charging $50 for a table outside. They sat us down and we had to move to another table because a girl had just thrown up. I should have called it a night. We stayed and my credit card statement reminded me of that night when I saw an unauthorized charge of $700 on top of the $200 for the food. The restaurant did not help me reverse the unauthorized charge they added. Furthermore synchrony bank made me write them a letter to get my money back instead of just calling it fraud. Nalegria. read more

We went to Mother's Day brunch this yr and it was awesome. I ordered Bistec Al Caballo which without asking was cooked perfect at medium with a little pink. Sides were beans n rice. They serve authentic Latin dishes with variety. We had mimosas (sparkling wine) and a few rounds of shots. The bartenders were great too. Live DJ had us grooving in our seats and dancing in the bar. Small dessert menu but the churros were delicious as well. Service was lacking. We had to literally flag down servers as additional guests arrived and even had to let one know her attitude was horrible. We will be back for sure!! read more
