The food was good, but it was CRAZY RICH. Well cooked but deeply fatty or cooked in animal fats. I think I might have enjoyed it more when much more acid (lemons, salsa, something) to cut through the richness. My suggestions to the chef: not all the components of the dishes need to be that rich. The pork can be rich, but if so, lower the cheese load, add more limes on the side or pickles or acid element. Idk. Need something to balance out all the richness. Was missing for me. read more

Not only was the food fresh and absolutely delicious, but the owners are very hospitable and the service is amazing. A must try if you're in the area! read more

Ordered takeout and they did a phenomenal job. All sauces included, packaged my fries so they didn't get soggy, and the food was phenomenal! Ordered the pork belly skewers, a taco, empanada, and side of veggies. Everything was a complete win, I can't even pick a favorite. I ate off of my skewers for days. I definitely recommend. read more

Black Pork - Beautiful pork belly skewers to go. - American Near Me - Long Beach , California

Black pork is a hidden gem! We usually go for the fish tacos which is fresh, light and delicious! If you're going for a good old fashioned burger be sure to have an appetite, it was very tasty and juicy; you will get full and satisfied. We also had the potato ball which we really enjoyed! The portions was just enough to share and it was very savory ! Give their berry smoothie a shot ! Very pleasantly refreshing to wash down your food! Veronica is very sweet to us and goes beyond customer services to make sure our food was perfect. We will be back for the potatoes balls and try other things on their menu!! read more

Gotta love Black Pork's menu, dang! We came starving so we had to order everything from the menu we could haha! For appetizers I ordered the Black Nachos, Guacamole con Puerco, and the Special Pork Belly skewers. To finish it off we had the loaded Cuban Pork and Black Cheese Fried Burger. Presentation and flavor my goodness is a solid 10/10. So good I had to take some quick photos to share! Veronica and Luis are very knowledgeable of there foods and provide immaculate service. The amount of effort this duo puts in to their work & craft made my experience epic. read more

Food was excellent. Service was terrible. I asked the lady at the register if they served drinks she said no. I asked my friend if we wanted to try somewhere else or eat here. I guess that made her mad? She proceeded to have the worst attitude the entire meal. Never checked on us once. Was super accommodating to the only other party in there, but I asked a question about the food and she had one word answers and was extremely rude. It's disheartening because the food is really good but I can't excuse the terrible attitude. I think she was also the cook as well so maybe she should hire front of house staff if she doesn't like questions read more

Could possibly be one of the best meals that I've had in a while. Come check this place out, you will not regret it. Owner operated!! read more

Food was unique and flavorful and delicious and fresh. The mashed potatoes are to die for the beet salad was so fresh and different . Turkey dinner was delicious . The flavors are explosive !!!! the service is awesome! It's like your in your living room with friends read more

Black Pork is an amazing food spot. I don't have a lot of reviews for a reason, when I review something it's because I really like it or really don't. This place was delicious and I'll go there many more times in the near future. The Black fried cheese burger was so damn good it might be my favorite burger of all time. Try the Cuban sandwich it was amazing and the chorizo empanadas with potatoes...chef's kiss. If I could give more stars on food I would but guess what... the staff was so nice and attentive that they get 5 stars too! This is a must try in Long Beach read more

First time visit with two friends and a gem of a restaurant in Long Beach , great and varied menu of delicious , meats and fish . Wonderful hospitality by staff who chatted and welcomed us . I chose pork roast with a hint of citrus , very tender , juicy and tasty . My friends had the pork belly which was also super delicious and chicken tacos beautifully presented . I highly recommend this very inviting restaurant in Long Beach , you will not be disappointed. Kudos to the Chef . read more

I don't recall the last time I was this enthusiastic about writing a review. The owners Luis and Veronica have put together amazing dishes that will make you want to try everything else the menu has to offer. At first glance the restaurant ambiance itself isn't pretentious or a "hole in the wall". You order upfront and pay before you sit down, and the food will be served to your table. So let's get to the meat of it (pun intended). As the name of the restaurant implies, pork is their specialty. We had the guacamole with pork and the pork belly skewers. The dishes were amazing and priced incredibly competitively. I can honestly say I've paid more at fancy restaurants for less. However, do not ignore their other dishes. We also had the mussels, and some tacos. To describe the flavors, three words come to mind. Deep, bold and bright. You can taste the effort and the skills that went into each dish. I've had to be a little vague because I want to write so much more about each dish and their nuances of flavor. I will be coming back very often in the near future because they will get busier. Oh! They will be getting their beer and wine license soon too!!! read more

Some of the best food in Long Beach! Service was excellent. Ambience is that of an establishment that cares about its customers enjoying their experience. read more

Good food, kind of expensive. Big complaint, a surprise, no notice, $1.10 +3% (7% total) credit card fee on bill, not cool.

This place is a little treasure! We shared the mussels in a creamy lemongrass curry broth (Thai inspired), the pork belly kabobs with mashed potatoes that were so much more than mashed potatoes, and the beet, walnut, goat cheese and arugula salad. Everything was made with love and pride. Our late friend, Jae Ri O (Jerry Olivera) raved about this place. He was right. read more

Visited this place today and very impressed by the friendly service (Veronica and Luis). The service and food was beyond great. The prices are excellent. I'm lucky to have discovered this restaurant. read more

Food was really good! We started with Guacamole con pierce. Excellent! Then my mom had the spinach salad (very good) and I had the mussels (appetizer). The mussels were so amazing! My cousin had the beet salad and her husband had the black fried cheese burger. Everything impressed us! We will be back! read more

I've sung the praises of Black Pork here before. I called July 3rd to see if they would be open on the 4th. No such luck, so I ordered anyway to reheat on the holiday. The tastiest Korean Barbecue and short ribs ever, even reheated. And the mashed potatoes to die for. read more

This is a gem of a place. I will admit I reluctantly tried this place. Don't let the menu online prevent you from going.as to be outdated as it seems like they offer different items in person. The food was so flavorful. Loved the curry mussels followed by the criollo shrimp and arugula beet salad. The guacamole was also good and it comes with freshly made pork rinds and pork belly. I would much rather just have it with the pork rinds instead of the pork belly, but that is just my preference and there wasn't anything wrong with the pork belly. They also make this amazing guava/spice tea. The teas are freshly made and can be made to your level of preferred sweetness. I will definitely be coming back to try some of the other seafood items along with the tacos as I really enjoyed everything I had this visit. Black Pork is a place that has something for everyone... seafood, smoked meats, tacos and sandwiches AND the owners are very kind. read more

I want to start with the food we ordered four empanadas pork and ground beef, and the guacamole with chicharon appetizer bowl, and the beef burrito. They do not have any menus outside of what is posted when you first walk right in so you will have to order right there at the register and sit yourself down in what few booths that they have and some bar stools. The empanada was very tasty as far as the outside of the crust goes, the pork was falling out all over the place it was just diced and put in there so when you bite into it pieces are falling all over you, the ground beef was okay but it has some kind of seasoning I guess it's part of their Cuban heritage and I really didn't quite care for it I think some homemade chili would have taken care of it the last all they had was a chimichurri and some kind of what they called a chili but wasn't it was green with a lot of oil and spicy I honestly did not care for it at all nor did it compliment any part of our meal. The chicharron and guacamole bowl was okay plenty of walk and a little too much diced chili in it, the pork that is inside the bowl didn't really have any kind of particular flavor it was bland and the chicharons were okay seems like they are homemade. Now to the burrito my husband ordered it's a good size burrito but too much rice to fill up the binding inside the meat was not tasty on the asada it was too salty and didn't really have much of a flavor besides the salty and kind of tangy taste that was not expected, and no salsa available, only the the 2 that I mentioned. I'm hoping that the owner is just starting out and is going to learn but they are next to a very rowdy bar that all you hear is screaming and loud sounds like motorcycles getting there engines right in the front door where the other entrance to the bar is next to the entrance to this little restaurant. That was quite annoying and loud and the owners really should shut the door to keep the flies and such out, also the marijuana smell from outside from the bar patrons was just too much. I honestly cannot go back there again it's not suitable for inside dining at all, although the owners are trying to spruce things up that's just not the area for them, unless it is to go orders. We spent $40 there, and glad we didn't spend any more. Sorry for such a review but the truth is, what it is. I hope they make it as I'm sure this is their livelihood. read more

I've only tried the wings but they were some of the best wings I've ever had!!! So delicious! My mouth got watery as I'm typing this lol gonna go back for more wings and to try their ribs read more

Is an interesting little spot in a not so great neighborhood right next door to a place that allows smoking of cannabis that you can smell while you are dining. Might not be the best place to take your kids to. The food here was interesting the flavor profiles are a little elevated for most average people. The pork belly skewers were a two and a half to three star. The burger here was better and a solid three star. The rice was kind of interesting with chimichurri and slightly elevated in its execution. There is no parking here you will have to circle the neighborhood and park on a side street which is a huge downer. I wish them well. read more

I don't typically leave a review but this hole in the wall is amazing with totally unique flavors. I had : Burnt ends- amazing Clam Chowder on the house-great Porcetta- yum Mango mousse- to die for Only 4 Star due to location. Enjoy ! read more

Parking a bit tough and the neighborhood is a bit sketchy but the food is really good. I had smoked chicken and rice, the rice was amazing and I am Asian so they did it right with the rice...will go back and try the hamburgers. They were mouthwatering when the server walked passed us and the smell was addictive. read more
