Hola amigos, today's adventure brought me to Long Beach Ca. Los Compadres is NOT you ordinary run of the mill Mexican restaurant, no sir, do not dare to place this restaurant with thoes, how dare you sir I've always said, Mexican food is poor food, it all the same meat, veggies, cheese and tortilla. If you can afford a steak, you eat the steak, if not cut that one steak and make burritos not much meat, make tacos, less meat, make flautas/taqueros, less than that quesadillas with some meat. You get what i mean. But this high end Mexican restaurant made me a liar! This high end Mexican restaurant doesn't make poor food, this place make food for kings! Every dish is savory every order id above and beyond, to even sit in this wonderful place you feel the like this is what the rich must eat in Mexico, no my friend this is elegance the service is as if your a celebrity and they are working had to keep your business. When you come, and I hope you do, come with respect because the food earned it. The ambiance: Walking in decore, the furniture make you feel like a wealthy rancher like Kevin Costner will walk in at any time. Packed almost always. The food: beyond description but I will try. When ever you see café dela hoja, order it! If you like cinnamon this is coffee made at its best, no sugar or creamer needed, wonderful magical brood to have you sit and see the world around you better, brighter, sweeter. I has chorizo and eggs and a flank steak. Better then mama's.

First time trying this restaurant and found that the best thing to do was to get there early cause there is await. The ceviche is delicious and if you are only two people is enough for a meal. I would definitely get this dish. Got the carnitas platter and for the price there were generous amounts of pork. The carnitas were tasty and I would recommend flour tortillas with the dish. As for drinks had the house margarita and it does pack a punch. Services was great with the waitress passing often. I would recommend sitting in the main dining room instead of the bar area to get the full experience since the bar plays sports and has the volume of the game loud.

Came to this place and it was a great experience. Our server was on top of the menu with suggestions left and right. The location was family friendly but parking was a little tough to navigate to. They do have parking in the back, but we didn't know so we parked a little further ways on the street. We shared the ceviche, i had a burrito (dry) with Al pastor, my partner had the same but wet with chili verde, the kids shared a quesabirria plate. The food was delicious and had so much flavor. The horchata was good too! House made. I wish I would have tried the jamaica.

We decided to eat lunch and celebrate our daughter's birthday. This place is as authentic as it gets! The best Mexican food restaurant in LBC in my opinion. Everything we've had through the years has nothing been amazing. I can't believe I have not reviewed this spot. It's always busy on the weekends and evenings. Everything comes out piping hot including the chips and fresh made salsa. We've had the burritos to chimichangas and pozole! Their taco dorados are amazing as well! Crunchy and never falls apart every-time we order it. It's a cute restaurant and now that has an outside patio. The drinks are delicious and strong! We ordered the fajitas with steak and shrimp. Omg that was flavorful!

Marie D.

The ceviche was pretty spicy, but it was probably the best I've ever had. I also had the aguachiles verdes and it was really good, and a healthier choice compared to other items on the menu. Everyone enjoyed their meals, no complaints. The margaritas are strong and the portions are generous.

Had lunch here with friends today. Here are my thoughts. I love Mexican food, so I love trying new places. Pros Staff are awesome Quality of the food is good Servers we excellent Variety from the menu was huge Time for food to arrive at the table was fast Cons The bowls they put their salsa in were very small. All gone after dipping 5 chips. Not sure why they do this. Seating a bit crowded for parties of 8 or more Prices were on the high side Portions on the soft shell tacos were small! See photo Overall a good place, but no wow factor! I would rate it 3.5 if I can. Not sure I would come back, but enjoyed my time there with friends.

It's been a while since our last visit, but my family decided to drop in for Sunday dinner. There was a 30-minute wait, which gave me time to admire the new front addition--it looks like they're building a patio to keep up with the high demand! Just to be clear: this isn't your standard "Gringo" Mexican food. It is 100% authentic and tastes just like a home-cooked meal. Everything from the handmade tortillas to the salsas is top-tier. Whether you get the mole, the molcajete, or the enchiladas, you really can't go wrong. My only disappointment was finding out they took the sopes off the menu; they used to be huge and "the bomb." We were a party of five adults and one toddler, and they applied an automatic 18% gratuity (which they do for parties of 6+). Our server, Claudia, was fantastic! My only real gripe is the price hike. Enchiladas used to be under $13, but now almost everything is $20+. It's getting into steakhouse price territory, but the food is still delicious and the staff works incredibly hard. I noticed the happy hour menu. Not what it use to be, $7.77 once upon a time. But still some relief for your wallet. I missed coming here, nice to be back.

Very good food. Our server Joel- was on top of it, even with a full house. The place was overall good vibes with people there to celebrate birthdays and just watching the World Cup. The place has a separate bar area which looked like fun. Lots of parking and they made space for us, so no wait! Excited to go back soon

They are still under construction to finish new patio area at the entrance. We had to park the car toward exit and found no more entrance from the Anaheim St. So slow during late lunch. The service was slower than usual. We ordered the same ones, 2 crispy taco combination and my 2 chimichanga combo. Same quality and same ambiance except new construction area. Little noisy.... Hopefully they finish the new patio area soon. I don't like too much noises when I eat. We loved the Spanish rice, beans, warm chips and salsa. Their house margarita was so good for $14. We miss happy hour from 4. Cheaper margarita, cocktails.... Great place if you like the real Mexican foods.

3 Tacos de Pescado Ensenada (Ensenada fried fish tacos)

Randy S.

Delicious and authentic Mexican food. Enjoyed a refreshing mixed cocktail on a hot summer day with some perfect fried Ensenada fish tacos. I'm pretty picky with my fish tacos because I need the batter to be thin and not moist on the inside. This restaurant's fish tacos definitely met my standard. Love the Spanish aesthetic and decor--gives an authentic atmosphere. Service was amazing as well; especially considering our server mentioned they were understaffed today, they did well for how busy it was.

Zoe C.

Came here for a nice dinner and drinks and were not disappointed. The outside of the restaurant is being remodeled to accommodate outdoor seating. We probably had the best waiter here, he was nice and attentive. We went straight for the meal as it was getting late. We ordered Bacon wrap Shrimp, Cheese Enchilada, Carne Asada plate, Shrimp soup, and Guacamole. We added a Blended Margarita, delicious. Well-blended tasty Margarita. Overall our food was good.

Joseline M.

We came on a Saturday for "early dinner" around 4pm so the restaurant was pretty empty. The vibe here was actually really nice, intimate, spacious, and with fun music that made it feel lively without being overwhelming. The service was fast and friendly, which I definitely appreciated. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the atmosphere. I ordered 3 tacos (pastor and carnitas) with rice and beans. The pastor was dry and really lacked flavor, and the carnitas were overly fatty and could've used more salt and seasoning overall. The beans were bland too, though the rice was the highlight of the plate; flavorful and well-cooked. I also ordered a margarita, which looked great and came in a generous size, but it was very weak and mostly tasted like juice. Overall, great vibe and good service, but the food itself just didn't deliver.

This is great Mexican food! No wonder it is always packed! We don't come very often because of that last statement, but it is certainly worth it for special occasions. We came for my mom's birthday a couple of years ago, and we were a group of 7-8 adults and 5 kids, and we were attended to nicely. The menu is also quite expansive and has almost any type of Mexican food one could crave from tacos and burritos to fish plates, from fajitas to cocteles, from chilaquiles and other breakfast options to caldos. More recently, we came for my brother's-in-law birthday. We were a group of 9 adults and 3 kids. They were very accommodating to the few of us that split plates or with minor substitutions with things on the menu. I almost always get the coctel de camaron because it is my favorite place to get them. The shrimp is always perfectly cooked and abundant, the broth nicely flavored and there is plenty of chopped veggies. The green habanero sauce on the table went very well in my coctel. It comes served with saltines by default, but we requested tostadas. To drink I ordered the Michelada Chabela with a Pacifico. It was a little too sweet and salty for me toward the end. I ordered it because of the addition of Worcestershire sauce, but did not really care for the tamarindo straw or that amount of chamoy and tajin inside the actual drink. In the future, I think I will stick with the regular michelada and request for a couple of dashes of W sauce to be added in. My parents and my sister each ordered the fajitas mixtas, and those looked delicious as well. I like that you can request frijoles de la olla (whole cooked beans) in place of the refried ones. I will have to make it a point to come more than once a year, especially after seeing their happy hour menu. Thank you, Compadres!

Reviews are largely positive. Diners praise the friendly attentive service, authentic flavorful food, and generous portions. The lively festive atmosphere is also well-liked.

This is a bigger venue than the one on pine street as it's trying to give its customers more ambiance. The wait can be long, but they have a nice bar for you to wait in. The servers are very friendly. I will be coming back because the food is muy delicioso. read more

Haven't had great mexican food like this since I was young! (I mean for a restaurant style-- my friends have mom's that can COOK, haha) My Parents used to take us to a place called El Castillo Real in lakewood and long beach.. They had THE BEST Guacamole on the planet. And now, I found my replacement for childhood memories. My best friend took me here about a month ago, and I've don take out twice. Same thing every time (Though I taste off of his haha)- Carne Asada Con Huevos. It's $10.95 inside but $8.95 to-go! Small Guac is $4.95 and is good to share amongst 3 people. CAN'T beat the price for such good food!! Oh and the beans are sweet. Literally! They have a slight sweetness that makes them delicious! When I ate inside with my friends, we had great service. The waitress refilled drinks constantly. I cannot wait to take my parents to this place. It will take them back a couple decades. ;) read more

My boyfriend and I had dinner here last night. It was the first time that we both dined at Los Compadres. We couldn't decide what to order since everything on the menu looked delicious. He had the chicken enchilada mole, and I had the shrimp ceviche. We also shared the shrimp & steak fajita. We were not disappointed. The food was delicious! We couldn't stop raving about it. Right on point with the seasoning. The service was impeccable. Our server, Joanna was awesome and very accommodating. Great service! We both had the michelada, two thumbs up! Way up!

This has been my absolute favorite Mexican food restaurant for years. I've never had anything here that didn't taste amazing. No matter what you order you're in good hands. My personal favorites are the Filete a la Plancha, Carnitas, Mixed Fajitas, Pollo en Mole, and the Carne Asada Flat Steak. Any of these with one of their margaritas will send you home with a smile on your face. Note, this is a pretty loud restaurant and is always full. There's generally a short wait and the parking sucks but that's what happens when everyone wants to eat at your place! Great service and great for groups and birthdays! read more

My friend took me here a couple times for dinner to catch up on things, and we both got stuffed with great food and drinks every time. We always start it off right with cadillac margaritas with the chips and salsa. That Grand Marnier helps to put your mind at ease and unwind from a busy day. If you ain't down with tequila, the Dos XX on tap is a good companion while watching sports at the bar. I then proceed to order the taco dorado y enchilada. I can always finish the hard shell taco with fresh veggies and the cheesy sauced enchilada, but I tend to struggle with the rice and beans. Don't get me wrong, the rice and beans are perfectly cooked, but I end up paying for it later. The hostesses, servers, and bartenders are awesome and provide the best hospitality. Even though there's always a wait, grabbing a drink at the bar helps to make the time go by fast. read more

I have going to this location for years, but unfortunately it seems the quality of food has not been great. For starters the guacamole lacked flavoring. The camarones de ajo seemed to be pre frozen shrimp covered in garlic, lack of flavor. I've this in the past and you can tell the quality of shrimp and flavor were better. Camarones costal azul were over cooked. Both meals came with one scoop of rice and beans smeared across the plate to seem as a lot, but honestly was not. The only pro from the visit were the drinks, other than that would not recommend for dinner. read more

Very warm greeting by host. I arrived just ten minutes before the crowd . Was able to get the last available booth in the bar. Order a cup of Caldo de Pollo ( chicken soup). Soup had one small piece of chicken, one piece on carrot, a big piece of zucchini, and about a third of a new potato. I'm thinking because I got a cup instead of a bowl was the reason for this. However soup was bland. I ordered the Mango Margarita with tamarind around the glass on the rocks, that was the only thing that really was a 3 star, however the bar tender tied to be slick with my 3rd margarita. He poured their standard tequila instead of the Patron (my first two) he didn't see me watching him. I refuseed it. Ordered the Fajita de Res (steak), steak was tender no flavored. Now last but not least My server Stephani, See was a very nice server. Very welcoming, beautiful smile, order was right on point. P.S. folks it is 2:00 day after Thanksgivings place is packed also very small parking lot. Thank God I got here early because I would have drove right by. Ok bottom line would not go back for food. However might go back for Margaritas if in a pinch. read more

I think this place rates 3.5 stars. Clean. large place, prompt seating, and friendly service. Good chips and OK salsa.I had the chile relleno, shredded beef enchilada, and shredded beef tamal combination, with beans and rice. I liked the tamal because they didn't overdo the masa. It reminded me a little of the tamales you get in New Mexico or Texas. The enchilada was good, but the tortilla didn't look or taste homemade, so I was a little bit disappointed. The chile relleno was pretty good, with lots of Jack cheese in the middle. The beans were a bit soupy, and I like my rice a little more tender, but not bad. They also have a large and varied menu. read more

Like the other reviewers have said, the fresh tortillas, salsa, and guacamole are all fabulous. But in terms of main dishes, they were just ok. On recommendation by the waitress, I had the ensenada style fish tacos. Three soft tacos with a piece of fried fish, covered with shredded cabbage and doused with a spicy mayo sauce. The tacos were so doused with sauce that the tacos fell apart and I had to eat them with a fork. The flavors were meh. Los Compadres gets points for fabulous chips and salsa. But no extra points for food. read more

But the food, good, NOT great, not very good.....good. Value for the money for sure but I wouldn't mind spending a few more $$$ for really GREAT! The thing I love to find is enchilada sauce with complex rich flavors....and it didn't happen here. Unless they're putting a different one on the shrimp. Even a can from smart and final has more flavor..... read more

I've had this burrito at other locations, and it always hits the spot. The asada is well seasoned, and the ratio of ingredients makes everything work so well. A must order. Quesadilla with Chorizo (8.2/10) This was my first time having the chorizo from Sonoratown, and I was pleasantly surprised. It had even more flavor than the asada, so I'll probably try the chorizo burrito next time. Plenty of cheese paired with two flour tortillas had it melting in my mouth. Definitely worth ordering. The staff are very friendly, and the place has a cool ambiance. Getting a seat is quick, and I waited just 5 minutes for my food to reach the table. For parking, use City Place Lot C across the street, which offers free parking for the first 2 hours.

Each of these items were delicious, but I'd return for the ceviche and chilaquiles. The ceviche was a delicious mix of sweet and salty. Their tortilla chips are made fresh in-house and paired perfectly with the fresh cut fish. I was also impressed by their cocktails. With family in town, we visited a number of fan-favorite restaurants across the coastline. Panxa stole the show for best mixed drink: the watermelon margarita.

I stopped by on a Friday afternoon and waited about 20 minutes for a table. The wait was well worth it because each dish offered an explosion of flavors.

I can't recommend the birria enough, as the flavors were reminiscent of what I've had in Mexico, very authentic. The space is small and can feel a bit tight, but sometimes the best food comes from these types of "hole in the wall" places. Ultimately, I'd say give Lola's a try! You can't go wrong with Mexican food!

Our waitress was absolutely phenomenal, super friendly and anticipating all of our needs (water refills, leftover containers, etc.). Service overall by all staff was friendly. We were actually presently surprised with the taste of the food, thinking it might be more Americanized but they actually had very authentic and tasty totopos (tortilla chips). The tomato salsa that came with the chips was also very refreshing. We asked for hot sauce too and the house habanero salsa really packed a punch! We ordered carne asada nachos, pork belly chilaquiles (from the brunch menu), a breakfast burrito, poke, and steamed clams. The steamed clams came in a rich tomato broth and the breakfast burrito was massive. The poke was just okay and the chilaquiles a bit too soggy for me, and the carne asada nachos a bit dry. Nonetheless, presentation and portion sizes were respectable. The last comment is that food here is quite pricey but that reflects the likely high rent of a restaurant in 2nd and PCH.

First off...the service is a bit hit or miss. It started off great and then the place got busy so it faltered a tad. I care not because the food is so worth the minor delays. Be patient, my friends and enjoy your drinks. Now to the drinks: Do the weird tamarind margarita. It is so good with the chili salt on the rim. The regular margs are just as yummy but not as odd and fun as the other. Reasonable too even outside of happy hour prices, I thought. I had a lovely house red there that was a good price as well. Something to drink for everyone! Try the cheese chorizo dip too. Rich and tasty. Also, as other people suggested ask for the roasted salsa! Their regular one is really good and fresh tasting, but the roasted is just that much better if you like an extra kick and some unique flavor as well. As for the meals--HUGE portions and amazing flavors! None of us could finish our meals and I was with a couple of big men. I had the chili relleno and this has to be one of the best ever. So often the sauce that they smother it with is canned tasting or a throw away, but not here. It had peppers and onions and it was everywhere. Perfect. My father ate the bacon wrapped shrimp and how can you go wrong with that? They were cooked perfectly. The shrimp tacos were huge and there was no skimping on shrimp. We also had some fish dish that was covered in an amazing sauce (forget which one) but it was also cooked perfectly and was tender and full of flavor. There was no way on earth that we could have even fathomed dessert because there was so much food. Perhaps tonight! Try this place, you will not be sorry! Some people here have likened it to Enrique's...well, not quite, but close and a tad cheaper read more

It's like the difference between a sketch and an oil painting. Los Compadres is the Siqueiros of Mexican restaurants in Long Beach. It's authentic traditional food passed down from generations. We counted 7 feliz cumpleaños tonight, including my beloved. It came down to her choice of dessert: tres leches (her mother's daughter, truly). They say on your birthday it's your mama's "birth day" too. I don't want to take any shine away from my angel, (even if we did labor for 40 hours). I'll just order myself a paloma and mezcalito in a red drink with flower petals. It is the hour of the blood moon after all. I will travel miles and miles for a place that specializes in birria. They don't advertise that - but they should. It's delicious. Served with hand-made corn tortillas. I'm done. I ate everything. My belly is full of prebiotics (tequila), bone broth, and protein. Salud! Let's all just raise a glass and wish all the March Pisces babies a happy solar return. Full disclosure: I shared the caldo de birria with my sister. It's perfectly shareable, especially when you have guacamole on the table, and 2 orders of tortillas de maiz. :) read more

Food on a scale of 1-10, I'd give it about an 8. Don't come here if you're indecisive because it will be overwhelming for you (took me forever to decide on my entree). There has got to be at least a 100 menu items...or more...200 maybe? The place is really big inside, and feels REALLY busy the 3 times I've been here. I recall big screen TV's blaring loud, music too in the background, groups of 10-20 people celebrating birthdays, shouting for Kobe & the Lakers, servers busy bustling through the aisles, kitchen, & bar area, a good amount of people in the lobby area waiting to be seated...etc., get the idea? There's a big part of the restaurant where you may end up sitting really close to people you don't know, kind of like picnic style and its very squooshy, like elbow to elbow. I'd recommend waiting for a booth so you don't get the obnoxious sports fan yelling and screaming right next to you. The service was good though, and I walked out feeling stuffed. Will I go back? Not sure, maybe for lunch when it's hopefully not so crazy. read more

Allow me to begin by praising the remarkable quality of the food at this establishment. The drinks have a delightful strength, the salsa is a perfect accompaniment, especially on a warm summer's day, and the entrees are truly outstanding. However, upon entering the venue, one would reasonably expect a level of professionalism. Unfortunately, this was not the case during my recent visit. I was disheartened to witness the staff, positioned at the end of the bar, behaving in a drunk and disorderly manner. What's worse, management seemed to turn a blind eye to this behavior, allowing an employee to inappropriately touch and mistreat other staff members while loudly using profanity throughout our stay. As a result, I find myself torn. On one hand, I recognize the exceptional culinary experience this place offers, making me contemplate a return visit. On the other hand, supporting a business that permits such disrespectful treatment among its employees raises ethical concerns and leaves me uncertain about whether I should patronize it again. read more

I can't wait to go back. Came across this place while looking for a dinner spot in Long Beach and after reading the reviews I was very excited to head in for some margaritas and good grub. Based on the recommendations of fellow yelpers I went with the Molcajete Mixto, extra tortillas and a spoon. Absolutely amazing, makes my mouth water thinking about it. The shrimp just soaked up the spicy tomato magic mystery broth, chicken was juicy and tender and the cactus/cheese/chorizo were an amazing and delicious surprise. Would have given the full 5 stars on my meal alone, but my friend and I did the order a few plates and share thing (best way to eat anywhere) and his carnitas were terribly dry and flavorless. Tasted slightly better once we let them soak in the Molcajete broth, but still pretty inedible. Hoping this was a one-time mistake because I love me some tender, juicy carnitas and I will be returning to give them another chance. Oh, and tasty margaritas, too! read more

Los Compadres is my favorite mexican restaurant in Long Beach!! We've been going there for years and absolutely love it (especially since we're from New Mexico and are really picky when it comes to Mexican food... ie. I can't stand Enrique's). My favorite meals there are: Chilaquiles (freshly made each time), Camarones Culiche (the green sauce is amazing), Flautas (chicken and shredded beef are both delicious), Pollo en Mole (tastes just like my grandmas), Enchiladas Michoacanas (with quail!), Molcajete Mixto (this even comes with nopal [cactus] in it!), and the fresh oysters are to die for (I could drink the Agua Chile they serve it with by itself... so yummy!). But the best part is the Michiladas (the real deal... with lots of lime juice, clamato, and chile salt rim) and the MARGARITAS! The Margaritas are so strong they are brown from all the tequila- I love it! My mouth is watering just thinking about this place. :) read more

Los Compadres is the ultimate spot for a fiesta with friends! Our time here was nothing short of fantastic, with great food, drinks, and service to boot. The vibrant atmosphere added to the overall experience, making it a go-to place for us. From the Enchiladas to the Mixed Fajitas, Steak, Chicken Tacos, and the grand finale, the Molcajete - every dish was a burst of authentic flavors. The chefs here truly know how to create a Mexican culinary masterpiece. And let's not forget the drinks; they were the perfect accompaniment to our flavorful feast. The service was prompt and friendly, making us feel like valued guests. If you're looking for a place to indulge in a variety of mouthwatering dishes, Los Compadres should be at the top of your list. We left with satisfied appetites and big smiles, already planning our next fiesta at this delightful establishment! read more

My family and I have been coming to Los Compadres on Anaheim Street for many years, and it has become one of our favorite local spots. The food is consistently good, and we always enjoy our meals when we visit. The customer service is friendly and attentive, especially considering how busy the restaurant can get. During peak hours, you should expect a bit of a wait for food, drinks, or other requests, but that's simply because this place is popular and often packed. If you're coming during a busy time, just be prepared to be patient. Overall, we've had many great experiences here over the years. Good food, good service, and a welcoming atmosphere keep us coming back. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for solid Mexican food in Long Beach. read more

Yelpers were right on something but not sure but some of the dishes. I didn't like what I was having the last time I was there. I ordered this fish which came with lots of grease.

It's got a lot of floral around the restaurant and vintage pictures around. The food is a real pleasant surprise. I got the breakfast burrito and it was top 3 best of my existence. Scambled eggs, bacon bits, hash browns and cheese all rolled into a flour tortilla and sealed to perfection. It came out perfectly split in two. Very impressive. It also came with a side salad, which I wasn't expecting but it didn't have any dressing on it. Still good. My wife had the French toast with scrambled eggs and on top of of the toast were strawberries, blueberries, and a light helping of whipped cream. I got a taste of them and they were pretty good. She didn't want bacon and got it with sausage instead. She had a cup of cafe de oya and said it was good and reminded it of her mom. Overall, the price was great and the service was top notch. Can't wait to come back and try more stuff.

Finally visited this restaurant for the first time 2 weekends ago with a friend. We sat out on the…read morepatio since it was a bit warm inside. The menu is quite varied, I couldn't decide on what I wanted. They have TVs out on the patio playing sports; one of them displayed pictures of some of their food items, and that was how I finally decided on their taco shell salad with shrimp. My friend ordered their campechana which comes with shrimp, octopus and I think abalone. He really enjoyed it. On the other hand, my shrimp taco salad was just okay. They leave the shell on half the shrimp when most places only leave the tail on. This caused there to be more of that black vein/guts which I cleaned a lot out. I should have taken a picture of that pile of nastiness. Other than that, the food tasted fine. The server was very friendly - the agua de jamaica also delicious and refreshing. I would come back and try other items on the menu... just probably not anything with shrimp in it, haha. They have a little parking lot (7th street is exit; entrance is through the other side). A good amount of seating outside with a couple of tables inside. If memory serves me right, one bathroom on the way to the kitchen. My rating is more like a 3.5. I'll update when I return and try something else. I always give places at least two chances.

Arrived on an evening with no reservations ~ the restaurant was pretty empty for the couple hours…read morewe were there. Very clean and nice ambiance. There's metered street parking around but it can get hard to find a spot during busy times. This restaurant is connected to the Marriott. The staff is really friendly and great. We got: Appetizers - fried pizza dough with marinara ~ looks like a lot but very light and airy and delicious with the marinara dipping sauce - calamari ~ good and standard - clam chowder ~ terrible, the soup was so water and yellow and tasted like corn chowder and there was maybe 2 clams and just a small handful of potatoes. Mains ~ all of the mains were delicious. Their pastas all taste so flavorful and well made. - Carbonara - Bolognese - Torricelli - Wagyu They gave us a free ice cream cookie dessert for our friends birthday which was really sweet.

They brought a little carafe of water for us, which was appreciated, as the food was very delicious but there is always the salt factor! Our server let me tweak my order and it was the most delicious burger meal I've ever eaten! Presentation was beautiful- the server who delivered it said my version of the plate looked so good she was going to get it that way for herself!! My brother got his favorite 908 burger with a wedge salad. The food is consistently good and prepared as ordered. Prices are on the higher end for many items but for the fish dishes and prime rib it's worth it. You can also get brunch items, appetizers and smaller bites for less money.

We come to The 908 from time to time. I wouldn't say there's anything we specifically crave, but…read moreit's a good spot when we want a nice dinner! We started with the bone marrow and spicy tuna stack. Loved how rich and fatty the bone marrow was, and the tuna stack had a really good crunch and spice to it. That one felt a little pricey for what you get, but I still enjoyed it. We both ordered the picanha, and it was delicious. Cooked just right, and I really liked the sauce on the side. The broccolini was good too, along with the skinny, crispy fries! We were seated right away, our server was kind and attentive, and it's always nice sitting out on the patio. We'll keep coming back here and there, but it's definitely a dinner you'll spend a bit on.

You can't beat the margarita price and quality anywhere! Love their Chips, Salsa, and Guacamole! We started with two Grande Margaritas, one was Cadillac. We both agreed, best we have had locally! Danny was our Bar Tender extraordinaire along with our server! We loved our drinks, and definitely made right! For food, we ordered a few items on the Happy Hour menu, Elotes and Taquitos, our favorites! I ordered my usual Taco Salad (not on the Happy Hour menu), but my favorite. They make an excellent Taco Salad and I love their shell! Komo's is a special place. We come on the early side when it isn't very crowded and quiet. Great Atmosphere. Staff is very welcoming! Danny really made our visit here special!

She was patient and made sure to hold a conversation with everyone who entered. The head chef even walked the perimeter greeting all of the guests. The staff were accommodating. I ordered a side of breakfast potatoes but requested onions and peppers to be added. They obliged and when I say that was some of the best potatoes - they were some of the best! Seasoned, crispy and flavorful! The pancakes - thick and fluffy, topped with strawberry slices and fried plantain. Make sure to ask for two syrups because they literally soak it up! Overall, so glad we did our research and found this sweet community restaurant. If we ever make our way back to Long Beach, we'll definitely pay them a visit again.

Wife had the chicken enchiladas dish. Both items were really good and was very pleased to have. The location goes above and beyond for a hotel lobby restaurant. A great spot to enjoy the bar or a ball game on one of the many TVs available. The place is a hip spot that is great for groups to hang out. Service was very friendly and helpful.
