Beasties - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

The most AUUUUUHHHHMAZIIINGGG burgers I've ever had hands down. A little drive deep into Long Beach, outside is a pretty nice seating area. I got the "DOS" with fries. They have fountain drinks... only thing I was bummed about was they advertised they had grape Fanta but didn't haha... but it's all good. It's right next to Barnes And Nobles so it's great if you want to walk off your food. 10/10 from me and hubby. Service was quick (no one was there) ... I'll be coming here from now on. The smash burger is too good to pass up. read more

I haven't written a review for awhile, but I needed to write one because a lot of people aren't talking about "quality fast-food" (quite an "oxymoron" in itself), which I think Beasties lacks. Now, I'm a person who believes in foundation. If a pizza place can't make a good margarita slice, or cheese pepperoni, we have some problems. Likewise a burger joint. Prior to Beasties, this use to be a Eat Fantastic. Eat Fantastic wasn't my favorite fast foot joint, but it was decent: it tasted like a burger, it had the right flavors, not too salty and just enough pepper in the smash, and you could actually taste the lettuce and tomato on there. Beasties on the other hand... it tasted like burger meat that was lacking. Lack of spice, primarily had salt, a bit too much oil, but no lasting flavor. There was sauce, which I couldn't really distinguish the flavor beyond some kind of cheap in-house "secret sauce" dressing. Lastly, nothing in the cuisine tastes like Mexican food. The problem I see with fusion is when you take two different cultural ingredients, and you think mashing them up would make something good. We know Kogi BBQ was successful in doing this, but if you can't make the quality ingredients, you might as well call it "a weak taco." I had the Smash Taco and Beastie Uno, and both of them were disappointing. You need good burger meat if you think you're serving good burgers. If steak house couldn't get steak right, we can stop right there. read more

First time here and my tastebuds are happy. The Uno burger was delicious and the addition of chorizo was a great flavor to a burger. They checked on us to see how we were doing and were super nice. Great service! Plus their local decor was vibrant and lovely. We'll be back for sure. read more

Beasties - Uno burger with no onions - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

Beasties has the best smash burger I've eaten; I've eaten at Win-Dow, Heavy Handed, and other not so well known smash burger establishments. None come close to the flavor this burger has; I ordered the Dos combo--the beef patties are the perfect thickness (thicker than the above mentioned burger restaurants), everything the burger has in it combines so well--this burger is a potion in between two buns. This is my new favorite burger, I can't wait to go back!--wow! 5 out 5 stars! read more

The food is yummy. Good portions. The place is small but clean. Nice patio. The ice cream is so good. The staff is nice and friendly. We will definitely go back. read more

Beastie fries all the way and horchata soft serve !!!!!! A must !!!! Smash burgers were good but the Beastie fries for the win 10/10 read more

The burgers were amazing I love smash burgers and I really like the spin of a Mexican fusion smash burger. Gives it nice spice and the queso sauce was nice. I'd give them a solid 4 only because of the service. The guy in the front gave me weird comments and felt super offputting when I was inquiring about potentially collabing to help their social media. Nonetheless the food is really good and their fries are crispy. It is on the pricier side compared to The-Window on 2nd street but the burgers are relatively bigger so it makes up for it. Other than the offputting service I'd eat here again. Thank you! 8 mukbang up @maarrjack read more

Went on 2/7 at 745pm. Restaurant closed with lights on and noise inside. Paper is taped on all doors and windows.

We ordered the uno smash burger, taco, and fries to try. The quality is exquisite, and flavors are very unique! 5/5 would recommend! The fries are cooked in beef fat, which gives it a rich and delicious flavor! We will definitely be coming back. Can be a bit hard to find though. Beasties is next to the Barnes and Noble! read more

Been waiting a while for beasties to finally open. Service was friendly and helpful. Got the beasties "Burgerito" which is their signature item. Its a burrito sporting beef tallo cooked fries, 2 smash burgers, thinly sliced caramelized onions, and thinly sliced fresh jalapeños, crispy chorizo crumbles, white american cheese, their special creamy sauce and fresh guacamole. Most items here come with their special queso sauce for dipping your already insanely indulgent burrito! Queso is a little on the spicy side as its supposed to be. The whole thing is a five star flavor bomb! The smash tacos were amazing as well, they are like the Dubai tacos made famous on tik tok, but better. Their Smashburger were amazing, with spicy flavor, perfectly formed meat crust, facilitated by their use of a shortrib, chuck roll, sirloin, brisket, angus ground beef blend. Fresh not frozen. They have a really cool street art piece inside the rest, that is yelp/ IG worthy. Its a major upgrade from the old fantastic burger that was there previously. They have beer & wine, and some tasty agua frescas. Check them out, you wont be disappointed! read more

Beasties - Single burger combo with tacos - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

LOVE this place!! I keep going back when I want a burger with Mexican flavor. Typically, I order an UNO Mexican Smash Burger, easy on the jalapeños or Tacos Combo that comes with queso dip - thank you Baby J .everything comes with the queso dip, seriously DELICIOUS! Last visit, we tried the Chili Relleno Burger with grilled cheese-stuffed chili poblano (mild spice level), including pico de gallo and beastie sauce..OMG it is one of the best things I have tried! Honestly, this burger delivers big flavors and is crave-able. Can't stop thinking about it when I want a burger. My friend, literally took it over. The fries are cooked in tallow-incredibly good. Also, we tried the new Smash Bird Chicken Sandwich with Cotija Cheese Ranch, topped with fresh Guacamole, made fresh everyday, not tasteless frozen guac! If I just need something sweet - my favorite is the Mexican Hot Chocolate Soft Serve Ice Cream. Can't wait to try the Churro Banana Sunday: banana dipped in Churro, fried, add soft serve cream, chocolate sauce. We love sitting on the patio, a chill spot just next to newly opened Barnes & Nobles and movie theater. Want to give a shout out to the super nice staff! They are great to explain about the quality of the ingredients. Honestly, it is one of Long Beach's must go if you like a little heat and flavor. read more

Food here is delicious! I tried this place for the first time with my husband and really enjoyed the fries (which were perfectly seasoned and crisp) and burger with cheese sauce. It was packed very well for pick up and was super comforting for dinner. :) We will definitely be back. read more

We ordered a regular burger with beastie fries to go. I actually enjoyed the fries more than the burger. The further I got into my burger, I found myself increasingly repulsed by it. There is this underlying taste that gets old quick and everything just tastes ... Smashed together... It's missing something for that harmonious taste, otherwise it becomes overwhelming. These burgers taste like Tommy's chili cheese burgers. I think it's worth giving them a try. read more

I love this place!!! really great food. The Uno burger has really great flavor, and the fries and queso are really great too. Everything is clean, service is great, and prices are fair. A great place to eat when you're going to the movies. read more

Saw this spot had their Grand Opening this past weekend. I was in the area today and wanted to try it out. I made the right choice. I had the Dos combo. Burger was delicious. I did not have it with the special sauce. Mostly because I wanted to try it out first and add it if needed. It was not needed. Cooked perfectly, with nice crust that the chorizo definitely helped out with. Could immediately taste the chorizo on the first bite. Fantastic!! The grilled onions, cheese, and peppers added a good spicy kick. Not too hot, but just right. I also did not use the nacho dipping sauce for the burger. But I did use it for the fries. The fries are amazing too. The beef tallow definitely changes the taste, in a good way. Never had fries cooked in beef tallow. The texture was very crisp, smoking hot, and just chewy enough inside. Their fountain drink machine was down today, but that did not change this review or the food. The store was extremely clean and the outdoor eating area and tables were clean and all had napkin dispensers. $16 for the Dos combo which includes fries and a drink. Good price for the quality and taste of the food. Portions were right on point too. I will definitely be back when I'm back on the Eastside. read more

Excited to be first in line at 4:38 am for the Beasties Mexican Smashburgers Grand Opening today, Saturday, September 20, 2025 in Long Beach, California. My first time to try this place. I met Tom Capler, one of the co-founder and we had a wonderful chat. He was kind enough to give me a $20.00 gift card for being first in line. DJ Josh played some cool latin music. I had the original burgerito with cheese dip and it was muy delicioso "very delicious". I highly recommend this place if you are in the Long Beach area. read more

Not only is this food delicious, it leaves one feeling delightedly full and not sluggish!!! After taking to the owner, the processes that is used to cook the food is tallow and not traditional oil. Incredible in how these small changes towards a more healthy option really make such a huge difference! I've had a few of Beastie's different burgers/burger-itos options and love that the menu expansion to the smash bird-eritos and other chicken options. And the desserts.... Forget about it!!! Just plan to save room. It is all so absolutely delicious! Do I sense a secret menu coming in the future with the addition of these new available ingredients in hand... maybe?!! Who knows.... With the options currently offered, it is easy to hodge podge together some delicious options not exactly on the menu!! Probably frowned upon, but enticing as someone with various diary restrictions. Excited to see how this menu changes and grows with this place!!! A warm friendly staff has always greeted me and been very helpful with recommendations. Another enjoyable note is the presentation of Beastie's- from the graffiti styled flowers while walking up, to the mural inside of the restaurant, the vibe feels a bit higher end than the average local burger joint. At night there are super festive lights that make you want to have a drink or two and stick around for a bit. The patio is a great hang out spot! 10/10 recommend Beastie's!!! read more

I've been to Beasties a few times now and overall the food is great. Service was fast and friendly. Old school walk up windows to order and pick up. Limited indoor seating and a nice heated patio if you are eating in. I've tried the Uno smash burger, the smash tacos, the burgerito, fries, the Uno Rellano burger, and the horchata soft serve. The Uno and the Uno Rellano burgers are probably my favorite. Great mix of flavors, with the onion, chorizo, cheese, sauce mix. Combo is the way to go and priced right. The fries are crispy just how I prefer them. Tacos and the burgerito are solid and great dipped in the queso. I don't think I've ever seen horchata soft serve on a menu and it is surprisingly very good. Yesterday I noticed they have added chicken options to the menu as well. I'll have to try those later. This place should be in your rotation. read more

Wow wow wowwwww...I was not expecting to love Beasties as much as I do! It's seemingly simple food with the menu centered around smash burgers, tacos, and burritos, but the flavors are not. We tried the burgerito, dos burger, and a single taco, all of which were delicious. They use several meats, including chorizo, which was my favorite part. The queso that came on the side had a nice kick, and the fries in the burgerito were perfectly crispy. I loved the spicy green peppers that came with each meal, too. We got the horchata soft serve to go and it was perfect and not too sweet! We'll definitely be back soon. read more

We ate there Saturday for lunch and we were only ones there so we should have known better. Soggy bread and partly frozen fries. My grilled chicken sandwich was a frozen chicken patty warmed. We spent $50 and should have sent back. Please don't waste your time or money here. Teenagers working and we're no help and they won't except cash either. We are never going back for sure. read more

Been here 4 times since they've been open. I've enjoyed the burgers and the tacos; they just added chicken. Great food, and they wrap in foil for you if you want to sneak into the movie theater next door Cashiers are always helpful and friendly. Shout out to Andre's great customer service. My favorites are the loaded Beastie fries; the Uno Burger & the tacos (chicken) not on the menu. Fun friendly atmosphere and they also serve read more

Beasties was an absolute disaster. The fries were so hard I felt like I was chewing on stale cardboard. They didn't even taste like potatoes -- more like something dug out of the freezer and forgotten for months. I honestly didn't know about this place but The burger? A total monstrosity. It's literally 15 different meats smashed together into one flavorless brick, and they couldn't even bother with a sprinkle of salt or pepper. Just heavy, bland, and gross. Whoever thought this was a good idea clearly doesn't understand food. To make things worse, even the drinks were a disaster. The soda machine clearly wasn't set up right every drink tasted mixed together, like flat cola with a splash of everything else. Honestly undrinkable.

Tried Beasties for the first time as it's a new burger spot in my neighborhood, but sadly I was disappointed :( I got the uno smash burger combo which came with the smash burger, fries, and a fountain drink. The burger was an interesting concept combining chuck, short rib, angus beef, brisket with jalapeños and crispy chorizo on top! However, considering how many meats they've combined it actually lacked flavor. The chorizo and jalapeños were the main star of the show bc that's where the burger got most of it's flavor, but I'm not a spicy gal so maybe it's just not my type of burger? The fries were overly fried (and I love a fried hard fry!) because they were way too chewy to be enjoyable and they lacked flavor. I read reviews and I wish I had the great food everyone is raving about! The environment is a vibe because they have indoor and outdoor seating which is nice. The service was good. I can confidently say I won't be returning, but if you want to try an interesting smash burger maybe give it a try. read more

First let me start by saying, the place was empty on a Friday. The cashier was friendly, I'll give them that. So now let's talk about the food...Umm where do I start... The meat in the dos burger was subpar. The meat was dry and they covered it up with white cheddar cheese with a side of plastic like spicy nacho cheese sauce. Can I even call it nacho cheese? If turn you turn it upside down, it didn't even spill! Stuck to the cup like cement. We also got the beasties fries! Such a disappointment as well, with the same plastic nacho cheese sauce top off with unflavored guacamole and dry meat patty. Overall the best part of the meal was the ketchup and water! read more

Came here with my family after my sons bball practice. Service was friendly and everyone was extremely helpful. Ambiance was chill, it's next to a move theatre so it's easy to miss. I got the burgeritto and my family all got burgers. The chorizo patty was so delicious. I also liked that it's smash burger style. The side of queso was good, could have been a little more spicier. Overall a unique delicious place. read more

I got the Dos Combo, their signature burger with two patties. I appreciate the experiment but I'm not a fan. I like spicy food but this was too spicy, especially for a burger. The cheese sauce was nothing to write home about but came in handy for dousing the flames. The fries were fine but had a funny taste, like someone dropped a baggy in the oil. The soda machines were fine but there was no lemonade option. Very uncomfortable seating. Left thinking it was worth a try but wished I'd gone to In-n-Out down the block instead. read more

Ok, I came here excited to try as it was featured on TV and as usual they sell you on how good, different and creative it is. Well, it is a regular smash burger, taco or whatever you want to call it, the sauce was just average or slightly below in my opinion, believe me, nothing to write home about. The sauce to me was just regular nacho cheese with added herb or spices. The fries were over cooked. In short, not too sure if I will be coming back. read more

The food was very good, I love the Mexican/smash burger fusion. Yum yum. Definitely a place to try out! Service was good, people were nice. They had cute little drawings on the boxes. read more

Kids menu time! I enjoyed the burger and fries, my little one less so. I am sure they expect families to come in, so an option for the littles would be nice. They still want $8 for a plain burger, and despite being assured the sauce wasn't spicy, it had a kick. Once the sauce was scraped off she took it down! read more

Delicious and different, but not tooo different. Am becoming a regular... yum. We like that there is plenty of parking and other places like the cinema nearby. read more

It was different I liked the tacos better than the burger though. Solid choice I'm glad I tried them out

Good burger but I am not sure the price was worth it. The burger was identical to the size + taste as The Win-dow for double the price. I suppose the price increase is due to the meat mixture they use at Beasties, but it wasn't mindblowing enough to justify the price point. At this price point, I'd rather pay more and go straight to Sideburns. I actually didn't order the Chile Relleno burger because I expected a sizable burger, but boy was I wrong. I'm still looking for the hidden cameras because I feel punk'd. Glad I tried it. I'm not even slightly upset I tried it because it was a good burger, but not sure I would try it again. read more

The "uno" burger was a decent size and the flavor was yummy. It looks on the smaller size but it makes up with flavor and was filling. It was too late for me to have ordered the "dos" or "tres" ( one, two or three patties). My 10 year old loved the crispy chicken. One piece was enough. Lastly, don't sleep on the churros! Best churros I've ever had (besides the ones my mom made when I was a kid) read more

I really wanted to like this place, but the burger just had too much going on. There were so many strong, mixed flavors competing with each other that they never came together or complemented one another. (Grilled onions, jalapeños, chorizo) The burger patties alone had good flavor and quality. The beef tallow fries were unfortunately a miss, too--over-fried, almost translucent, with a heavy lardy-ish (?) taste that was off-putting. Decent pricing, but there's just too much going on with their burgers and fries. read more

Horchata soft serve is next level, creamy, thick and the chocolate soft serve has such a rich flavor profile of cinnamon and spices. Got the uno, burger was tasty, maybe a little spicier than I'd usually have it. Maybe lite jalapeno next time for me. The burger came with queso, fire. read more

This was my first time trying Beastie, and I was impressed! I was helped right away and the place is really nice and clean. I ordered the smash burger and Beastie fries--both were delicious! Honestly, I'm surprised this spot isn't more hyped up because the food was that good. I'd definitely recommend checking it out! read more
