The establishment was clean and spacious. Service though really stood out. Everyone was so welcoming and accommodating. I didn't even notice my cup had a chip but the server (ugh - I forgot to get his name) saw it quickly and switched it out. That is attention to detail that anyone else would have missed. I will definitely return!

We came right before noon on a weekend. There was no wait to sit down but the parking lot was still…read morefull since it's so small and many other locations have spots blocked off. That is the downside of this place: parking. It's in a center with a lot of great places so you may want to find street parking before coming in that's mostly what gave the star rating for this in addition to the food taking a while to get to the table. They bring out chips and salsa which was great since they will take a while to get your food. Other tables that would come in later would get their food sooner. I got the green chilaquiles thinking it would come out sooner but it was the very last thing to arrive. My partner got their food before mine and I still sat there as other tables for their chilaquiles first. It took about 20 min get our food. The chips and salsa they give table side are tasty. Don't eat too much of it esp if you get the chilaquiles since it's a lot of chips. The salsa is not spicy at all! My partner got the Birria omelette. It was pretty good but the egg itself was a bit overcooked. It was a strange combination but the Birria was tasty by itself. He would come back to try the meat in a taco. Could have used some sort of lighter element. Everything was too savory on the plate. The plate was screaming for something fresh on it. The cafe the olla was so good. A little on the sweet side but that is what is is. The chilaquiles were good too. I would say maybe add more salsa or get something else because it was way too much chips. This is def something you would share for the table a not got for yourself. I would come back to try something without chips. It's really cute inside. So well decorated but I can see how they can have a wait if it fills up since it got fully crowded while we waiting for the long wait to get out food.

I have not been here in 3 years. This is my 2026 review…read more Went here today for Taco Tuesday. Waited about 10 minutes for our waitress to take our order. Ordered everything all at once since the worker was playing cashier, waiter and host. It started to get busy so I did not want to wait any longer then I had to. Ordered a Margarita, Michelada, 7 Carne Asada Tacos, 6 El Pastor Tacos and 2 potato tacos. We were served Chips and Salsa as we waited. Our drinks arrived about 10 to 15 mins later and Tacos arrived 10 minutes after that. The Carne Asada was just ok. It was rather over cooked. The al pastor was better then the Carne asada. Potato tacos could of used some more flavor. So it was a hit and miss on the taste of the tacos being served. The salsa was tasty along with the chips that tasted fresh. The service was very slow. I am not knocking on our waitress. She was trying as the place started to fill up. She stayed calm as more customers started to come in. By the time we were done eating, about an hour or so later.. she finally received some help. I was relieved for her. Overall, this is a mom and pops restaurant. A family affair with their own children working in this restaurant. I wasn't to harsh on the service because I understood the pressure she was going through. Netti who was our server, waitress and host did her best to accommodate us. I really recommend staff management to support Taco Tuesdays accordingly. Lucky alot of the people in the restaurant were very patient with the service being provided. They could use some work on this subject I recommend supporting this family restaurant. I will try to order other things on the menu next time.

I've seen and heard so much about this cute hole-in-the-wall spot, but words can't describe how…read moredisappointed I was. I asked the person on the phone what their best seller was, and she confidently recommended the chilaquiles. I asked if they could make it spicy, and she assured me they could...it wasn't! I also added protein (carne asada), and she mentioned there would be an extra charge of $10, I just didn't know the final cost until after ($30ish). I don't mind paying for great taste and quality, but this was, unfortunately, a bit of a tough bite to swallow when it came to the meat portion size. The real kicker? I thought maybe there was more hiding under the egg... yolk's on me...there wasn't! The sauce tasted like it came straight out of a can (green sauce), and it didn't have that fresh, homemade flavor I was hoping for. The dish itself was very soggy, which just didn't hit the mark for me. We all have different taste buds, so I still encourage others to try it for themselves, but this dish definitely didn't crack the code for me.

We were completely torn on what to order (because honestly, everything looked amazing), and he was so patient, kind, and genuinely helpful while guiding us through the menu. Thanks to his spot-on recommendations, we ended up ordering a few delicious items -- and that spritzy mimosa? Absolutely top tier! Chris was friendly, polished, and incredibly professional, elevating the entire visit. Not only did he share fantastic food and drink suggestions, but he even sprinkled in some bonus tips on achieving and maintaining perfect hair -- now that's above and beyond service! The ambiance was cute, cozy, and peaceful -- the perfect vibe for a quick birthday weekend pit stop before heading to another lunch reservation. We will absolutely be back, and we're definitely hoping for the full "Chris Experience" again. Thank you, Chris, for making the start of my birthday weekend so memorable!

Heard about Dilly's Sandwiches having the most unique rotating set of beers on tap in Long Beach,…read moreso had to come to try it. The taste portions were very reasonably priced, allowing to create your own flight (or two). Specifically scheduled an early afternoon to come to the Lakewood Village neighborhood of East Long Beach. My wife found an angled parking spot right in front. It wasn't too crowded inside and the four of us found easy, comfortable seating in the brightly decorated dining room. One places and pays for the order at the counter, with the proprietors being very friendly and engaged. They brought out our beers after the pour, and the sandwiches a bit after (since each is individually carefully made). Beers: - Northern Lager [Oxbow] - ($5 for 13oz pour) was clean, crisp and a hoppy aftertaste. - Infinite Hotel [The Wayfinder X Bierstadt] (marked as $3 but charged $4) is a rice lager and was the favorite of the group for its drinkability - Winteruption [JK's Farmhouse] ($3) is a cider with very strong maple syrup overtones: never tasted anything like it. - Hyper Paradise [Rare Barrel] ($4) - saison and ale with mango and passion fruit. I liked this beer very much. - A Place Like Home [Pure Project] ($3) - Nitro poured Extra Special Bitter. - Double Negative [Grimm] ($4) - Imperial Stout, which I really enjoyed. - Amongst Friends [Sante Adairius] ($4) - a cherry saison, unusual and was glad to sample. A lot of work was put into creating this flight, with the careful pours and markings to make sure I knew what was what. I really appreciated the opportunity to sample all of these on-tap. In terms of the food, the group as a whole really liked them, though I guess I wasn't as impressed with my two samples, mainly because it used non-descript deli meat in OK quantities, heating them up when necessary. Hot Beef ($18) was my wife's, and it had been griddled with cheese to form a crispy lattice. The Ham and Cheese ($16) was served cold and had potato chips inside which my mother-in-law liked (saving the other half for home). Our friend and I split the Hot Turkey ($16) and Pastrami No 19 style ($20). The pastrami meat was piled high and the cole slaw was crisp and good, but was served cold (should have read the description more closely) and mediocre rye bread broke apart quickly. The Hot Turkey ($16) was served on ciabatta that had been grill pressed for a long time, creating a wonderful crust as good as any sandwich I've had. But the filling was OK, using standard turkey breast slices from a loaf and an ok stuffing...using hand carved turkey would have made a big difference here, but understand it's hard to do. Strangely, even though it's a pickle adorned shop, each sandwich just came with an ordinary pickle spear, what one would expect from a diner, not a deli. And the prices are on the higher side, especially with no sides and most not being particularly ginormous. But I loved how each sandwich used different breads, and how some of them were toasted very well. And having the opportunity to try these unique beers made it a really good experience.

If I had to guess, Dilly is the passion project of someone who clearly loves sandwiches and beer…read more Just a guess. And I appreciate and respect them for this endeavor. We ordered two: -turkey ($16): shaved turkey, lettuce, avocado, pepperoncini and dilly spread on sweet brown bread -ham & cheese ($16): honey- cured ham, pimento cheese, and potato chips inside white bread All the veggies in the turkey sandwich made it taste v fresh. The combination of crunchy lettuce and creamy avocado was really nice play on textures. There is an absence of cheese on the sandwich though the dilly spread did its part. It's a solid turkey sandwich. In contrast with the turkey sandwich, we ordered the ham & cheese which is like a version of ham & cheese on steroids. They sub out the cheese for a pimento spread and add in potato chips for an added crunch. I liked that it's served on unpretentious white bread which gives it 90's school lunch. Such a fun sandwich. Highly recommend ordering the mac salad. The version here is light on the mayo but still delivers a nice punch. I'll definitely be back to try their other creations.

WOW!!! What an amazing little gem…read more This little tiny hole in the wall, literally makes some of the best freaking clam chowder I have ever had. It has a smokiness and umami to it that I have never experienced in a clam chowder, and it is FANTASTIC!!! Then I had one mushroom taco, one pork belly taco, and an empanada (I couldn't eat the empanada come out because I was too full from everything else). The pork belly was cooked perfect. Fell apart in my mouth with just a fantastic flavor and texture, and the mushroom tacos were so on point. Not to mention the service here. Veronica was absolutely delightful. She took a lot of pride in their food, and let her talented husband has produced. You absolutely must give Black Pork a try. There are tiny little gem, that's absolutely priceless.

So much flavor! I had two pork belly tacos, one mushroom taco, and one shrimp taco. If you're…read morehungry then four was the perfect amount since they're small. My favorite was the shrimp followed by the pork. The shrimp were cooked to perfection and sitting on a bed of cheese which I didn't expect. The spicy mango salsa complimented it perfectly. They also provided an amazing green salsa too but I used it sparingly not wanting to cover up the flavors. If you're a shrimp fan these tacos are a must. Since pork is in their name I had to get the pork belly. The meat was melt in your mouth tender and delicious but the skin was really hard to bite through. I used a knife to cut it up which helped. I wish it had more of a chicharron texture but I still loved them. The mushroom one was my least favorite. It was good but not much flavor. The green salsa came in handy for that taco. To drink I tried the "guava and spices" iced tea. She made this to order and I was blown away by the flavors. Service was friendly and the restaurant had counter, tables, and patio seating. Parking is nonexistent. Zero parking at 10:45am. Had to park in a residential area around the corner. I truly loved the food and will definitely be back. They had an interesting variety of choices on the menu from chillaquillas to porchetta with mashed potatoes.

Waters were delivered and asked if we would like anything else to drink other then water. Ordered a White wine and Red Sangria. Alcoholic Beverages were delivered and they both were so refreshing. For our main entrees, we ordered a Ceasar Salad and Walnut Salat with balsamic vinegar sauce. All was delivered and all was very good or should I say delicious! A couple of hours goes by with good conversation and great beverages. Our waiter continues to assist us on any needs we have. Kudos to our Waiter Elias! He did an exceptional job. This is my go-to spot in the Bixby Knolls area. I was told they have a new management team that recently took over this establishment. I could have not noticed since the service has always been immaculate. A restaurant that is in the nice area of town. You can't go wrong coming here. For business or just being socially casual for pleasure, this place fits the ambiance. Plenty of parking on the street. Good foods and great service right here.
