Shredded beef taco.
Jeannie M.

Solid choice for some CA Mexican food. Been at their Seal Beach location for as long as I can remember and the food is consistently good. Service is good and the view is unbeatable!

It's a tiny hole in the wall next to the pier that's been a mainstay of the area for years, but that tiny kitchen is serving up some legit Mexican dishes! This afternoon my son wanted some Taquitos and I decided on a Super Burrito figuring I would share with him. No need, the Taquitos were a good size, and it came with a pound or so of guacamole, and a massive tin of rice and beans with tons of cheese. My burrito was massive, filled with essentially everything (as a super burrito should be), and it came with about ten large tortilla chip rounds and a bunch of super tasty homemade salsa! Either dish on its own would have been enough for both of us; we were eating like Kings. :P More important than anything else though was the service, the owner was super friendly; while we were there I saw him help a family that was a few bucks short, and he seemed to know all of his regulars by name. Just a good vibe, and the kind of local business that you want to support. [one item of note - it is cash only, as are many of the places along that strip] We'll be back, and I hope to see you there! :)

Jr (small) deluxe burrito. Comes with guacamole and sour cream. Chicken, beef, pork, even vegetarian.

Been here a lot since "discovering" it. Real made from scratch food. Service is outstanding. Simple decor. A couple of booths at window overlooking park/ocean. A few parking spots in rear, but adjacent to a large public parking lot just north of restaurant.

Cute cozy hut along the beach. Perfect for quick bite or to go, or after beach day bite to chill. Nice service and perfect menu to choose from. Quite clean with cool ocean breeze and view of the ocean and folks walk by. Foods are good and tasty. We ordered #7 2 beef tacos w/ bean & rice plus a beer, total with tip is $30.

Chili rellenos and shredded beef taco plate

Always a warm welcome at this place! Feels like home thanks to Great waiters like Antonio! Friendly, Dependable and always fast service and tasty food! My Favorite is the shredded beef taco and my husband loves their chili relleno and beef taco plate! It has the best view of the Seal Beach pier and the beach itself!

Chips and spicy included

Cash only...... There is a small parking lot in the back. You also have the option of free street parking for 2 hours. I'd describe this place as a hole in the wall. You see it when you walk off the pier. They have a walk up window and indoor seating where the wait staff will take your order and serve you. The customer service is impeccable. We were seated quickly and were given fried corn tortillas and spicy salsa. Very crispy. We ordered the super burrito and split it. It comes with rice and refried beans and lettuce in it. The top is smothered with a red sauce and topped with cheese. The sauce is flavorful, but not spicy. I would order it again. It was plenty for two. You also have the option of making reservations for large parties. The bathrooms are clean and a treat not having to go to the public restrooms. I highly recommend this place and the super burrito. Just make sure you bring cash.

Cheese enchilada with diced onions

Very friendly and fast service! Just moved to town recently Mom and I have decided this our favorite Mexican restaurant!! Cash only they do have a ATM inside. Great location right across the street from the pier, casual ambience. They have parking and back, but can usually get parking on the street.

I've been coming to California Cocina in Los Al and this place stays consistently good. I always…read moreget the nachos and they are amazing every time -- loaded, flavorful, and definitely one of my go-to orders. Even the rice and beans are really good, which says a lot because those sides can make or break a Mexican spot. The people here are always nice and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. This place always seems busy, which is usually a good sign, but they have plenty of tables so it never feels cramped. The ambiance is great with a good atmosphere and enough space whether you're coming with family, friends, or a bigger group. Good food, good people, and a great vibe. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to.

I used to LOVE this spot. I'd get shredded beef tacos and it'd feel like the tacos were so stuffed…read morethat I left feeling really satisfied. Now when I go, the taco is more tortilla than it is protein. There's barely any meet in the actual taco. It's kind of disappointing. They also sell most things à la cart. So for example, you can get guacamole but chips are extra. I get if you're getting a small 2 ounce thing, you might want that for your taco so you don't necessarily need chips. But if ordering the larger 8 ounce option, it seems wild that by itself without chips that would be closer to $8. Usually when I go in, they keep the receipt because they don't require signature. But today the girl at the register tried to force me into an awkward tip. I read the receipt, "No signature required" and she bashfully took it back. It was mad awkward. Idk I think today was my last visit. Used to feel like a gem, now I leave hungry. :(
