    The beet salad.
    Lisa B.

    I finally tried Black Pork yesterday for lunch with my friend. The whole experience was wonderful. We had the guacamole with puerco, an Asada taco, a chicken empanada, a black salad and a beet salad. That would've been enough by itself, but I also got a cheeseburger with mashed potatoes. All of the food was fantastic. I also had a latte which was very good as well. The owners, Veronica and Luis, could not have been nicer. I originally wanted to try the spinach salad, but they were short on ingredients. Luis made a tiny spinach salad for me so I could taste it. It had caramelized pears and cranberries, and a delicious dressing. I will let the photos of the food speak for themselves. At the end of the meal, Veronica brought us each empanada. They were banana and dulce de Leche. They were heavenly and a great end to a wonderful meal.

    Not what you would expect for the location. I was looking up burgers in Long Beach when I came upon Black Pork. I actually didn't even look at where it was located, and I assumed it was closer to the dtlb area. I wanted to try the burger with the black bun, but there were out of the bread and were currently making some more. Instead, I tried the chicken sandwich, and it was so good. First of all, it's HUGE. And gorgeous. It's truly Instagram worthy. That and the fries in the gold bowl. They really have their presentation down. I wasn't even that hungry, but I ended up eating every last bit of it. Now I want to go back and try something else.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]A small neighborhood restaurant with limited space but food packed with flavor![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love their cute restaurant front and decor inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ordering is simple and service feels like you're getting a home cooked meal. The wait for food wasn't long but you know that your food is being cooked fresh since you kinda have an open view of the kitchen. I always gravitate towards chilaquiles when available on the menu, especially empanadas and tacos. Everything we ordered had good flavor and by the end of our meal, we were pretty stuffed. Give this spot a try!

    Fantastic food and excellent service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh. We'll definitely be back!

    This was my first time at Black Pork (I've been wanting to go for a while) and finally got to try them out during Long Beach Food Scene Week. They had an affordable three course meal that really gives you the chance to experience their food & service. If you've never been (like me), you order at the counter and they bring your food to your table. I arrived around 5:30 for a later lunch/early dinner and by about 10-15 minutes later all the indoor tables were full. I tried the mango & spice iced tea and fell in love. That's saying something because I usually don't like flavored iced tea but this one doesn't fall into the pitfalls so many do. It wasn't overly sweet and didn't have that fake fruit flavor to it. Whatever the "spice" was also added a nice depth to the flavor. I honestly started googling mango spiced ice tea at my table to see if I could find a recipe to recreate this at home. The mussel starter was quite good. I found them a little overly salted but not to the point where it impinged upon my enjoyment of them. Empanada: The outside was perfectly crisp and bubbly without tasting/feeling oily. I had the chicken and liked both of the sauces with it. Korean BBQ & Mashed Potatoes: So good. The person at the table next to me was complaining to his dining companion that the mashed potatoes weren't smooth but I enjoy a good chunky mashed potato and these were so flavorful. Scoop up a bit with each bite of meat and you have a winning combination. Service was very friendly and quick. Super happy to have finally experienced Black Pork.

    The food here was incredible. Great flavor, quality, and presentation while being affordable. We had the beet salad, mussels, pork belly skewers with mashed potatoes, and criollo shrimp. My favorite was the criollo shrimp and beet salad but they were all hits. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The establishment is small and casual which is in itself an appeal since you can enjoy a high class meal in flip flops.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's an order at the counter set up but they bring out the food to you. The woman (I believe she is the owner) who took our order was SO patient, helpful, and attentive. She mentioned they make all of their teas and syrups in house so will definitely need to try it out next time I go.

    Porchetta & Pork Belly

    This place is amazing! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The food quality is for fining dining, but it's affordable and you don't have to dress up for it since the place is simple and chill.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The owner gave us a free dessert, too. Make sure to chat with them! Sometimes they're just hesitant to approach you :) The garlicky mashed potatoes -- chef's kiss

    Mussels
    Adriana F.

    Delicious and savory food! I went in last week for take out and phone ordered 3 empanadas.. to my surprise they gave me 3 extra as Veronica said they had a BOGO deal on empanadas that day. They were all flavorful but my favorite were the pork and papas con chorizo. Then the sauces they give you to go along are just chefs kiss! I previously dined in with my husband during LBFS week and I still haven't gotten over the curry mussels, so tasty and full of flavor! In addition to the BOGO deal on the empanadas Veronica and I had a heartwarming conversation. It felt as I was talking to a comadre I had known for years! Good vibes and delicious food.. what more can you ask for? Can't wait to return. Thank you for your hospitality Vero!

    Burger

    The burger was amazing. Huge portion. Cooked nice and slow. Prime meat. Amazing customer service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice indoor and outdoor dining.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Defiantly going back and recommending. Hidden gem in LBC

    Clam chowder in bread bowl
    Ahmed Z.

    The food is a definite 10/10. This is definitely a hidden gem. The service is very friendly and the husband wife due is amazing. They are very welcoming warm people. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is a little small but it's definitely an advantage, it will never be too loud or unbearable because people (my self included) can be very loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All the empanadas are amazing and their green salsa and chimichurri are to die for. The cubano sandwich a reimagined version but it hit the nail on the head. There's nothing on the menu that is not either a 10 or a 9. Can't wait to go back. Been there 3 times already. The clam chowder definitely the best in Cali.

    Yum

    My best friend and weekly lunch buddy was very excited to bring me here for lunch on Wednesday. He raved about the food, particularly the chowder, and the Cuban sandwich. This is not in the best neighborhood in Long Beach. It is not a fancy-pants kind of place. The bar next door was being pressure washed inside and out when we slid by to the front door of Black Pork! The menu was intriguing, the beef sandwich grabbed my attention at once. The gal behind the counter was very nice about explaining the options. The steak sandwich which I had ordered, turned out to be fantastic. The steak was perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned perfectly presented and I ate every single bite. The French fries were exceptional! Very crispy, hot fresh seasoned, even crave-able. I am still remembering them 5 days later, they were that good! My friend got the chowder, he let me try it and it was 10 out of 10! So creamy, filled with yummy clams, potatoes, and dreams! You Must get the chowder! He also had the Cuban Sandwich and it was also THE BEST! I could go on but this is our kind of place. Humble, mom and pop turning out awesome delicious food in a clean cozy unassuming venue!

    A SALT MINE

    Similar to another review .. I don't get the hype??? Doesn't the cook at least do a taste test before the food is served to customers ????.. or they just don't care just to save money?? I just ate a pound of salt...and I like salt but this was out of control. What a waste of $5O+. This pork thing was sooooo salty and the skin was so chewy loaded with fat instead of meat....and the mash... it was just a pound of salt as well with a hint of potatoes. My husband warned me and threw his entire meal away and I didn't believe him so I served myself and a little portion and it was enough to make me sick ... Why?!?!?!?!

    This is one of my favorite coffee shops in Long Beach. I actually discovered it on accident when I…read morewas dropping off a friend to the airport and stumbled across a photo of the plants and thought it was right up my alley. The space just feels light and happy, and the drinks are on point. If ur not happy they are totally down to fix ur drink til you are. And they're delicious, I've had a few interesting creations including a strawberry latte that was made with love. The baristas here know what they're doing and they're slinging good coffee. Great place to meet up with a friend or catch up on work. It's a bit of a quieter space but a good neighborhood hang.

    I wonder what # coffee shop this is for me…read more I picked out this spot because I saw via photos on Yelp that there is ample seating inside to do work. I ended up showing up around 12:40 and there were some people but not a whole lot. I was still able to fit me and my life at the table with my coffee. I landed on ordering the pistachio latte. I went on a whim with this because I'm such a Spanish latte girlypop. Ironicallly they're known for their Spanish latte, but I ordered the pistachio latte instead. We were feeling... experimental. And I'm so happy I did! I loved this coffee so much. I don't know what bean they use but it is amazing. It's so rich and smooth. The pistachio nut is nutty and more a background singer. Not overly sweet at all. It is definitely in one of my top coffees for sure. I definitely plan on coming back to this coffee shop for both the space and quality of coffee. Also I need to try the Spanish latte, duh. The only sad part was my friend ordered a blueberry donut & she said it tasted store bought and not good. I can't comment on that because I did not try it but I figured I would add it in here. There have a private room you can book as well! I didn't take a photo of it unfortunately but it's to the left of where the cashier is. Parking is on the street & they have two entrances. WiFi is available and I think there's 2 or 3 restrooms I don't remember lol

    This place is so pretty I love the colors in here!!!! Oh how I wish I could buy up all the cups and…read morestickers and pins they have!! They have vegan friendly pastries, there are non dairy options!! The drinks are DELICIOUS and the service is great!! They are so patient and friendly, I feel like they really enjoy working there I hope I can come back again next time we are in town! Thank you for a pleasant time!!! The prices are so good, so are the prices!! It's great quality coffee and iced drinks!!! The ice lasted longer than the drink without melting! My mom was impressed which isn't easy to do, she loved her Rad berry drink! I got the lavanade and it was very good, nice and tart. Hey with the money you save after buying their yummy coffee, buy up their merch!!! It's also good quality and very creative!!!

    I've wanted to try Rad Coffee for the longest time, but the closest one has been Long Beach (not…read moreexactly close to me). Well if Long Beach doesn't come to you, you go to Long Beach! My better half and I are in our mid-life goth era so we made the trip to satisfy our horror cravings of the day. Rad Coffee is located off of Atlantic Ave & E 35th St. There's a parking lot in front and in back, so on the rare chance it's overcrowded you can find a spot (even on the street). Lots of clashing chaotic colors inside! You order at the counter and pick up your drinks on the side counter next to the bathroom (which is closed). Also closed is a sizeable covered patio, which is a shame since it'd be nice to chill there and not just get it to go. Maybe it's another covid casualty, or maybe it's more about lack of employees to keep an eye out (there was only one during our visit). The menu has lots of specialties in addition to your usual coffee fare. We were adventurous so my wife got the Cinnamon Toast Crunch while I had the Peanut Butter Crunch. Yeah, their house creations have cereal and coffee Frankensteins so it was an interesting choice (both are super sweet). Overall we'd stop by again when we're in the area. I dug their pinball machines while you wait. They also have plenty of merch for sale (shirts, shorts, stickers, mugs, etc.). If you're on the health-conscious side, they also have a hearty selection of vegan friendly treats.
