Really enjoyed this daytime lunch! We sat at the bar which had a great view of the beach without having to be in the sun. Ordered the chorizo meatballs and they were delicious! The outside of the meatball was crispy and the inside was soft and chewy. It had a little bit of a spicy edge but it wasn't overwhelming. I think anyone can handle the level of spice on these meatballs. Since it was our happy hour, we ordered the carafe of sangria made of their red wine. It was sweet and ended with a mild wine taste; absolutely perfect! We got about five glasses out of it. The only thing that was a downfall was the customer service. It took a very lengthy time for a server to check in with us and it was a little challenging to get their attention. Which was a bummer, because we were sitting at the bar. Overall, I would recommend this place and will return. read more

This place is great, with a few areas that I feel could use improvement. Came here for brunch on a Saturday around 11:30am - noon. We were able to get seating on the 2nd floor, overlooking the beach. The latin music and shift to house disco music was a vibe. The couch seating and tables were not the most comfortable. It had no type of support, you practically fell into the seat and you are sitting so low, that the table comes up to your chest/neck. But whatever, after a few drinks, it didn't matter. Will have to add also that their silverware and glasses aren't thoroughly cleaned. I had to send my champagne glass back as it had lipstick residue on the rim and my spoon had food stuck from last person. However food was delicious and staff was friendly. We ordered a bottle of champagne, a carafe of sangria, along with a few mixed drinks. We had their burger, sandwich, steak, chilaquiles, taquitos - all wonderfully executed. We also ordered the flan for dessert. Customer service I felt maybe could have improved. When we were leaving, we noticed the cute Happy Bday acrylic sign with a flan that was being sent over to a table. Although it was shared to our server we were there celebrating my mom's birthday, it was sad that the server didn't take it upon themselves to also provide the same detail and attention that the other table got to my mom. We were ok to pay for the flan, but the detail would have been appreciated. Especially as people picked to celebrate their birthday at this restaurant. read more

Holy Crap! How does this plate get good reviews. It is louder that a 747 at takeoff thrust inside. You can not hear anybody but loud drunks and it was 7 pm. Food was very average and trying to be clever. Terrible salad and had some tacos that I could not eat. Server was trying so hard for a tip and being clever. How about this tip" Never pet a burning dog" Will not be going back to this trap. I can not think of one good thing to say as even the bathrooms need a code to get in and they smelled like an open grave! Avoid like the plague. I gave 2 stars because the server almost seemed to understand the food was so subpar and the margarita had so little tequila! Sure wanted to like this place. read more

I was pretty disappointed with my experience here. When we arrived, there was no host present for about 10 minutes, which made things feel really disorganized right from the start. When the woman finally showed up, attitude came off as rude and unwelcoming, like we were an inconvenience rather than guests. The overall vibe of the place just felt off between the lack of attention and the negative energy. The music was good and the view spectacular but couldn't even convince us to dine in we left to yard house instead. Unfortunately, first impressions matter, and this one missed the mark. read more

Decided to come here for the beachfront view and that's exactly what we got. Pros: beachfront view, decent food, ambiance is lively, service was okay. Mussels and skirt steak was good. Cons: parking, and wait time for walk ins and ordering. Food: lomo saltado's sauce is based on bbq sauce not like the typical lomo saltado you'd expect. Additionally they were not filet mignon, they were tough and hard. I recommend for the beachfront view. read more

Gaucho Beach is an enchanting beach cafe restaurant with a tantalizing view of the Alamitos beach. Their menu is a blend of Argentine and California cuisine. Its indoor and outdoor seats were very spacious. I came to grab a Pederoso Smoothie (orange, mango, kale and pineapples) and Spinach Empenada. Drink was refreshing and fresh; Empanada was scrumptious and soft. I dig both items. Staff were cordial and professional. Prices were a bit expensive given its prime location. However, its quality was unmatched. Overall, I had a good order experience and enjoyed their empanada & smoothie. read more

Let me start by saying this: the views are doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Absolutely stunning. Ocean breeze, beautiful scenery... it's giving "this could've been a 5-star experience." And baby, shoutout to our server Kristen (I believe that was her name), because she was sweet, pleasant, and clearly doing her best in what felt like a very... chaotic situation. Now--let's talk. The garlic butter fries? Don't play with me. Those were GOOD. Crispy, flavorful, seasoned like somebody's grandmother was in the back saying, "Taste that again." Loved them. The espresso martini? Eh. She showed up, but she didn't make an entrance. I've had better, but I've also had worse, so we'll let her live. Parking? A mess. But it's the beach, so I'm not even going to hold that against them. What I will gently side-eye... is being served what tasted like tap water in small plastic cups. I'm a little bougie--give me a real glass so I can feel hydrated and respected. Now here's where I had to start blinking slowly... It took an hour to get our food. An. Hour. And not a peaceful, "we're sipping and chatting" kind of hour. The kind where you start wondering if the chef went fishing for your meal personally. On top of that, I had to ask about my espresso martini three separate times--only after noticing a group that came in after us already had their drinks and appetizers. Oh? So we're skipping tables now? Interesting. And then... my entrée. I ordered the brunch steak and potatoes, and when I tell you that steak said nothing... I mean not a whisper of seasoning. Not even a suggestion. And the chimichurri? Equally quiet. Just vibes. No flavor, no personality, just... present. Overall, this place has all the makings of something special--the views, a kind server, and those fries (again, don't play with those fries). But the timing, attention to detail, and flavor? They need a team meeting. Would I come back? Maybe... but I'm coming for the fries, the view, and a little prayer. read more

Every dish we've tried has been full of flavor and genuinely worth ordering. Surprisingly, compared to other Thai spots, it's usually not overly packed and honestly I'm almost scared to say that because I don't want it to change. The service has always been great, the food comes out quickly, and the portions/prices feel reasonable. So far, our favorites have been the pad see ew, tom yum soup (medium spice), egg fried rice, fried calamari and the beef BBQ which was so good we immediately ordered a second plate. The mango sticky rice is also really good, but the portion is on the smaller side, so we ended up getting two orders since one plate is hard to share with more than 2-3 people. Parking has been easy for us so far since there's both a parking lot and nearby street parking. Definitely one of our favorite restaurants that's officially in our regular rotation.

The restaurant itself is nice and clean, including the restrooms, which I always appreciate. The staff was very customer service oriented and did a great job making suggestions and giving tips about the menu and spice levels, which was super helpful. I started with the Money Bags, which are basically fried dumplings. Mine were a little overcooked, almost close to burnt. They still had decent flavor, but I'd personally rate them about a 2.9 out of 5. I also had the green papaya salad with mild spice, and the spice level was perfect, especially for people who are sensitive to heat. I usually stick around medium spice at Thai restaurants, but even the mild here still gives you a nice kick. For my drink, I got the Thai tea, which came topped with a Thai tea popsicle that slowly melted into the drink. Such a cute touch, creative, and tasty. For my entrée, I had the basil garlic sauce with sliced steak and a side of rice, which I really enjoyed. For dessert, we shared the mango sticky rice. It was good, but I do feel like it was a little overpriced for the portion size. Maybe part of that is because of the specialty rice they use that has the purple hue. I know a few places in Long Beach where you can get more for the same price. That said, the presentation was really cute with the flower garnish and everything looked beautiful. The atmosphere was nice. It has an open kitchen concept, so you can actually see the cooking happening, which adds to the experience.

Tell me to meet you somewhere and I'll be there. Simple as that and less stress for me. Anyways, that's how we ended up at this place. Trying to find happy hour with food in the area was somewhat a challenge. Either they were finishing up or it wasn't that interesting on the menu. Of course some places offered amazing drink deals but no food. We ended up here actually across the street still looking up for places but the rooftop patio was what caught our attention. The restaurant itself looked bare as there was no one inside. Still on the early side but noticing people going in and then heading up stairs. After a few debates on here and there, we gave up and found our way here. Checked in with the host, letting him know that we just wanted happy hour upstairs. It was about two flights of stairs which the place looked quite industrial with all the metal beams and stairs. Downstairs was beautiful but completely emptied. Everyone wanted to utilize the rooftop patio as it was beautiful out. We were greeted by someone which mentioned to us that any bar seating was available. There was a section towards the back that was pretty lively. I think it was booked for a group. Instead of the bar area, we asked to sit along the rooftop counter that looks out to the street and building across the street. Way better view and perfect way to spend the afternoon hours. Staff were all pretty sweet and very friendly. Whatever we needed they were they to help. Both the regular menu and happy hour menu were quite impressive. As we just wanted HH, it was given. They had drink special for 10.00 and small bites for 10.00 as well. Didn't hesitate and started off with some drinks. The red sangria with mixed fruits was a nice clean and refreshing treat. Tasteful without that aftertaste. And the Le Pistolet Fumant, a delectable tasty drink with mezcal with a hint of pineapple. And other well drink that was perfect for a nice afternoon. HH drink special was quite tasty to start off. Food wise, started off with an order of the Caesar salad, simple but delicious. Fresh crisp Romaine lettuce and slices of Parmesan and crouton bits. Nice crunch with each bite. The dressing, wow pretty tasty. And an order of the Mac and Cheese . Most places it's either a hit or a miss and let me say it was a HIT. Quite cheesy and full of flavors that a second order was had. A dish I do recommend for HH. We also had an order of the Brussels sprouts which was excellent. A nice glaze and crunchy with chunks of house cured pancetta. Nice big chunks I must say. Lastly the beef sliders with Wagyu beef patties. Honestly, this was the least favorite of the dishes we got. You would think it sounded great but it was quite tasteless and nothing major to report on. Served with brioche bun and shredded lettuce and tomatoes and a lemon aioli. I had high hope for it when I saw the group next to us order it but it was a little disappointing. Overall, the Mac and cheese, Caesar salad and Brussels sprouts were all hits. The sliders, disappointing. Other items on HH didn't look too ingesting for us but it was for other people. The rooftop lounge and bar area was the place to be when we were there. It picked up real fast after we got seated. Picnic style tables being occupied by large groups before HH ended. Just the rooftop alone was great and beautiful. It a place that's good for a drink and meal with friends. Downstairs was beautiful but seemed more of an intimate experience. Overall, it was a great choice for a meal during HH.

If you want fresh seafood at a reasonable price, this is the spot. For first timers we took it easy. I went with the fried fish and scallops. My wife chose the fried fish, shrimp and scallops.

Besides fried product, they also have a grilled option. They offer outside seating, picnic style. It's not a fancy seafood spot.

Crab legs, oysters, shrimp, and sushi. Your typical buffet desserts also. Everything was freshly prepared and wasn't dry / old feeling (like how a lot of other buffets can be).

Our table was seated right in front of the singer, yet we felt completely overlooked the entire evening. We never received basic items like bread, water refills, extra napkins, or even straws unless we repeatedly tried to flag someone down. When our calamari arrived, it was missing something as simple as lemon, and getting our waitress's attention to fix it was nearly impossible. She was extremely difficult to find throughout the night--it honestly felt like we didn't have a server at all. The lack of attentiveness made the whole experience frustrating and uncomfortable. It was clear the outdoor area was understaffed, but that doesn't excuse the level of service we received. On top of that, the food was overpriced for the quality. You're essentially paying for the view, not the dining experience. You're better off at the Cheesecake Factory where the prices match the quality of food and the service is exceedingly better. It was exhausting looking for our waitress. It would've been nice to have a manager making their rounds to voice an opinion to in real time. I also want to mention the hostess with dark brown hair in a low bun, who came across as rude and dismissive for no apparent reason, which set a negative tone from the beginning. My twin sister and I were trying to seat our party together and she just didn't seem accommodating but just dismissive. I had heard great things about a server named Ashley from others in my party, and I really wish we had been seated in her section. Based on this experience, I won't be returning or recommending this place to others.

I've been walking by this charming beachside restaurant for months, and its stunning ocean views have finally convinced me to give it a try. The colorful buildings and lively atmosphere have made me curious about the delicious food and sunny spot it must offer. When parking, it's a good idea to download the Passport app, if you plan to go before 6pm especially when parking enforcement is out in full force. This way, you can pay for your parking spot quickly and easily, avoiding the risk of receiving a ticket in the time it takes to get back to your car. By paying for your parking through the app, you can ensure that you're not stuck with an unexpected fine, and you'll also be supporting the city's efforts to streamline parking payment processes. I was taken aback when we had to sit ourselves at a table, it's not something I'm used to at a beachfront restaurant like this. But, considering the stunning ocean views and the fact that it was a weekday, the lack of assigned seating wasn't a bad thing - it added to the casual, laid-back vibe of the place. Our waiter was friendly and enthusiastic, but it took a bit of time to get their attention - we had to wait for a while before someone came to take our order. Despite the delay, her demeanor remained warm and welcoming, and she made sure to check in on us regularly to ensure we had everything we needed. The pineapple Margarita was a decent drink, but it didn't quite live up to my expectations. While it did taste like pineapple and had a unique blue color, it wasn't particularly impressive or memorable. Having had better versions of this cocktail in the past, I'm not sure what the point of the blue color was, as it didn't add to the overall flavor or experience. Overall, it was just an average drink that didn't stand out from the rest. The Gaucho burger was a solid choice! While I opted for medium-well, it came out slightly more rare than expected, but the juicy half-pound beef patty still packed a flavorful punch. The combination of melted provolone cheese, fresh tomatoes, caramelized onions, and spicy habanero chimichurri on a toasted brioche bun was absolute perfection. The tangy kick from the lemon aioli added a delightful contrast to the rich flavors. Despite the slight misstep on the doneness, the Gaucho burger was good, but wouldn't get again. The steak and chicken empanadas complicated were excellent! The steak was tender and juicy with a nice char, while the chicken was crispy on the outside and tender within. Both dishes were well-seasoned and allowed the natural flavors to shine through. My sister wasn't too thrilled with the fish and chips, unfortunately. She found the batter to be overdone, giving the fish an unpleasant texture. To make matters worse, the fish was prone to bursting with juice, which was a bit messy and unappetizing. The tartar sauce, which she thought would add a nice tanginess, ended up being off-putting instead, with a weird taste that didn't complement the dish well. Mixed reviews for sure do not know if I'll return. read more

arrived at the restaurant at approximately 3:55, waited for 10 minutes in the hall beside the bar for someone to acknowledge that we were present. we stated we would like a table for dinner and were told by the bartender take any table that's open. So we did five minutes later someone came over and cleaned the table and asked if we needed assistance.. we said we had come for dinner and she said I'll send over the waiter... 10 minutes later, the waiter arrived, and we told him we would like to have a menu.... He proceeds to find a menu and brings one menu for three people..... that's right one menu for three people.... we look over the menu and order two steaks, and one salad and calamari...... Approximately 15 minutes later, a server, not our waiter brings steak and the calamari..... Anticipating that the other stake was forthcoming, I was mistaken.... After requesting to see our waiter after 10 minutes, we asked where the other steak was..... said, let me look into it.... Five minutes late he shows up with the second steak..... The steak that was served to me was un edible..... I tried my best, but I just could not eat the steak...... I asked the server if he would send the waiter to me so that I could show him what my problem was...... after a five minute wait and no waiter I decided to go to the bar and ask for the manager.... I explained to him what the problem was and he could see that the steak was un eatable.... he did refund the money that I had paid for the steak....... I only wish that I would not have included a 20% tip for a waiter that was non-existent..... but that's what happens when you have to order pay for and include the tip before the meal is served..... this is a poor poor policy....... So buyer beware if you plan on using this restaurant, I wouldn't pay before you see what you are about to receive.... with the service and food as poor as it was presented to us this restaurant will not be around very long..... There are too many good restaurants that deserve our patronage.....Carl read more

Can't even begin to describe how awful this place is!!!!! As a former employee for Almost a year... If only you all knew what was taking place behind closed doors!!!! To start You wouldn't believe the amount of CROSS CONTAMINATION happening here. The surfaces food is prepared on is absolutely disgusting and never ever ever cleaned or sanitized. They don't even wash dishes with soap or sanitizer and only spray them off and run through the machine with water. Health Code Violations? Ha! Long Beach is Notorious for Health Departments not doing their jobs and being paid off by places like this that are owned by the city. The amount of rodents and bugs and disgust in and around this place would make anyone never want to step foot near here again. This place seriously needs to be shut down immediately due to HEALTH CODE VIOLATIONS The owners of Guacho? Who are they? Management? Who are they as well? Who actually controls what's Happening here? The amount of corners being cut to just make money is insane. There is no management and employees are left constantly having to pick up the slack of the business. Employees give inventory through group chat to a manager and that manager then gives the order to his manager and then that person doesn't order what's needed on time for the business to have what's on the menus and then the employees are left telling customers we're out of items. This has been going on since the start and has not changed. I could literally keep going and going and going with how horrible this place was and is. The amount of employees you see come and go, the lacking all around from everyone is ridiculous. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF LONG BEACH SOMEONE SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN!!!!!! YOU ALL ARE BEING FOOLED I PRAY NOBODY GETS SICK OR DIES!!!!! THE AMOUNT OF FOOD POISONING HERE IS ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS TERRIBLE BUSINESS read more

If you're looking for a dining experience that combines stunning ocean views with great food, Gaucho Beach is the spot to be. Nestled right on the beach, the location is unbeatable, offering a fantastic view that sets the perfect tone for a relaxing meal. The ambiance is warm and inviting, matched by the friendly and attentive staff who make you feel right at home. Now, let's talk food. I ordered the Blue Cheese Burger, and let me tell you, it was a showstopper. The patty was huge, tender, and juicy, packed with flavor in every bite. Paired with fresh, golden fries, it was a burger experience worth savoring. The Calamari was another highlight--crispy, perfectly seasoned, and totally addictive. For drinks, Gaucho Beach doesn't disappoint. I tried their Old Fashioned, and I might just say it's arguably the best in Long Beach. My coworkers were equally impressed with the Inferno Margarita, which they couldn't stop raving about. Not everything was perfect, though. The Artichoke and Feta Dip was underwhelming--not terrible, but not something I'd order again. On the other hand, the Pollo Frito Chicken was absolutely delicious, showcasing a perfect balance of flavors. Unfortunately, they were out of the Lobster Roll, which came highly recommended by our waitress, but hey, that gives me a reason to come back! All in all, Gaucho Beach is the total package--great food, an amazing beachfront view, and a vibe that makes you want to linger. Whether you're grabbing a casual bite or celebrating with cocktails, it's a place that delivers on all fronts. Highly recommended! read more
