I came in here to buy gift cards for family members that enjoy coming here to eat. I also came in to dine. There dishes are huge and delicious. I had the flautas plate with beans ans rice. That was packed with flavor and plenty chicken in the flautas. Service is immediate the server comes by to take our drink order and leaves menus. When our drinks were running low they'd be refilled within minutes. The atmosphere here can be loud depending on the time you dine in. Everyone is conversating with their company. Parking can be tight depending on the time you dine. Same time I've always found a spot to park. read more

46 years ago, when I arrived to this beautiful nation to stay, one morning whit a terrible hang over my friend took me to Los Tres Cochinitos that was a very small whole on the wall in the same place that is now located. There it had a tasty Mexican menudo that changed my view of the dish... since then I been visiting them now and then. Yesterday I came back and nostalgia grab my heart. Excellent taste and portions, I had the wet burrito and my wife the special enchiladas, the service was great by our young server in a full restaurant at 11PM with a festive ambiance. What ever you order has a true Mexican flavor. Try it I've done it for almost 50 years... read more

I have been a customer for many years, having lived in Long Beach and San Pedro for the last 40+yrs. Had a lunch date with a new girl there on Fri. The server I will categorize as "indifferent"...served us with a mild disdain I would say. Meal was fine, I had the Large Shrimp Cocktail, very good. Used to have more shrimp, but what didn't LOL My complaint, and reason for 1star rating, I left my reading glasses in our booth. Didn't stress, went back hours later, expecting to find them no sweat. No chance. The staff looked thru multiple drawers and cabinets, to no avail. Even a subsequent call next day, nothing. Would it hurt a 24HR RESTAURANT TO HAVE A 'DEDICATED' LOST & FOUND PLACE? I had a TAKE-OUT PLACE and WE had one. Poor management. Love the food, won't EVER go back read more

Always great food and made the way I ask for it. Service was great. Ordered the enchilada plate with green sauce, onions, cheese AND chicken. Also had nachos, the steak and egg breakfast plate and chiliqueles plate. Got a michielada, two mimosas and a water. Place is clean. Food is worth the price. Restrooms are clean. Parking is scarce. Lots of seating. read more

The food is good. The prices have gone up and the portions for sure have gotten smaller. Stopped going as much as I once used to because of those reasons. The food isn't bad though. read more

What a cute place! The theme is 'Tres Cochinitos' (three pigs) Family owned, this is a warm and welcoming restaurant with excellent service and delicious food with a full bar. We had their Yummy Margaritas that are limey & icy and not too sweet! We had a snack of their tasty finger licking good bacon wrapped shrimp. Lots of regulars who are welcomed like family by staff. This is a very family friendly restaurant. If you are in the area you must stop by. read more

My family and I decided to stop by here for breakfast before heading to the LA port to sail out on a cruise and it hit the spot! Staff were polite and took care of us and the restaurant itself very cute and spacious. Food didn't take long at all and was pretty tasty and the drinks were solid. We enjoyed our breakfast experience and would definitely recommend it! read more

I had a terrible experience here. I ordered cheese enchiladas, but the cheese was overcooked and hard -- I couldn't even cut through it. The few bites I managed to try were so chewy I thought I might choke. When I showed the waitress, she didn't address it, and it wasn't taken off the bill, even though I clearly hadn't eaten it. My husband ordered a carne asada burrito, which had no flavor, and he was also very disappointed. To make matters worse, the gentleman at the next table was complaining that they served him the wrong meat. This was an absolute waste of money. Honestly, the only reason I can imagine this place stays open 24 hours is because after a night of drinking and partying, people will eat just about anything when they're starving. read more

The only reason why I'm giving this place 3 star's is because the food and drinks are really good. The service was not the greatest, There were no periodic checks whatsoever for the group we had. The restaurant wasn't busy and also her body language, facial expressions etc said it all. She had no customer service skills and looked like she had a problem. I won't put her name out there but hopefully she gets the training she needs. read more

Service with the waiters, we went there for the 2nd time and is the same bad service. The lady that helped us just came in took out drink order and put food order and never checked back to us no any Extra soda or water Don't recommend very bad service read more

Los Tres Cochinitos - Lunch time - Mexican Near Me - Wilmington, California

I am not a super selfish person but I feel like me singing the praises for this place is an action that I will regret in a future day because I am giving away a treasured secret to the masses. I waited a moment for a future version of myself (hopefully 80lbs lighter) to pop-in after a flash of brilliant green light to stop me from writing this Yelp review. It did not happen. So I will continue with the task at hand. I have been going to los tres cochinotos for close to two decades. Thus, I am comfortable calling this place classic and timeless. How does a place earned this description? By offering the basics done well, and almost flawlessly. This place offers solid Mexican dishes that are the foundation of Mexican cuisine. They do not concern themselves with being fancy, modern, or haute. They just concern themselves with offering good food, at reasonable prices, in a comfortable and lively place or in other words their basic in the most honest way possible. For example, their sope. For those not in the know, the foundation of the sope is a deep fried masa (mexican dough) shell. The wonderful part about this place is that they make their sope dough on site. And their crunch tacos, oh, I owe them an ode for this. A debt I will never fulfill cause an ode to tacos so good is better written by the stars. And their carne asada fries are simple, flavorful, and a humble offering that does not disappoint. Imagine a classic beauty that does not need much to to impact the eye in a wondrous way. These do the same thing, but instead of impact the eye, they impact the palette. I have celebrated birthdays here, I have gotten drunk here, I have had life-altering conversation heres. This place lends itself to evertything, it has a background to uphold festivity, it has food to ward of hunger with satisfaction and it is the kind of place that welcomes all-- the evergreen, the ever bold, the shy, those with checkered pasts, and pristine driving records. Just go here and know the beauty of Mexican in its simplicity. It is an authentic bow of the ol' sombrero. This one time, I went to the place after hitting a bar cause this place is open 24 hours. I ordered the usual--- tacos came into play, of course. They were beef tacos. I took a big bite. And I felt something awry. I took out the item that tasted awry and it was a piece of a toothpick. Mexican tacos are deep fried two at a time, with the help of a toothpic. I called the server, the server explained it was a chicken bone. I was gaslit hard. The manager came over and reinforced that I had found a chicken bone in the tacos, implying I was trying to get a free meal. I saw red. I reprimanded the manager, hard. I do not use profanity, I do not yell. But my tone changes, my words are strong and carefully said. My friend told me that she was not ever coming again (an empty threat, I pay almost every time) but she feared that repercussions would be felt in the form of tampered food. We met a guy at a bar who came with us. He was surprised at how I could not let go of the fact that I lfound a piece of a toothpick in a taco. The above paragraph is meant to showcase that after I vented, I forgave this place. That is truly exceptional. They made a mistake- a big mistake- and I forgave them because their quality endures and their experiences are memorable. This is a place where life happens with authenticity and flavor. And it begins with food that is authentic and flavorful. Visit at least three times, and you'll love it! Give the place a chance if they have a misstep in the end they will make it up. read more

El garbage. All the way around. I got the chicken taco and a chicken tostada. The chicken had no flavor what so ever. The shell was so soft it kept falling apart. They did double up on the shell for that reason, but eating it was still a crappy process. The food was phot fresh though, looking at it got me hyped to eat. I mean it was picture perfect. The service was bad too. The lady saw me at the desk ready to order and kept holding her conversation. I had to directly get her attention to place my order. Not cool. I did like how they marked the boxes with what the order was. Makes it easy when passing out food. I also went at like 2 AM. So I wasn't expecting the A team when it comes to service, but if you're a proud 24 hour spot then you should have top service and food 24 hours a day. This wasn't that. read more

Carne asada fries, chili verde wet burrito, chili relleno burrito... just some of the items that I love from here. Plenty of seating, open 24 hours, servers are friendly, food is on point, kind of expensive, but food is really good and worth it for the value. read more

Food sucks, I'd prefer Al cien. Same owners but the crew makes the restaurant, not the owner Anyone who is putting 5 stars is either family or family friend of the owner. This place is garbage and if you live in Wilmington you know this. I don't usually write reviews but this place has more 5 stars than 1 stars, that immediately brought red flags. If you do go, don't say you were not warned. Food is extremely bland or tastes reheated. There is nothing homey about this place. read more

Really really really really really really bad service. Dead environment. Servers in their own world just taking drink orders food orders then never see them again. Food was dry, soggy, and had no flavor. Zombie servers. read more

I took my foodie friend to this place. We happened to be going to San Pedro to go to a recycling facility. I remembered this place because my dad brought me here 30 years ago. The food is delicious. My friend had a chili relleno burrito. I had a small shrimp cocktail, an à la carte, Chile relleno and a side of beans. The beans are phenomenal. The chili relleno was good. The shrimp in the cocktail were not deveined. I had to take the time to devein about 10 shrimp. The rest of the shrimp cocktail was delicious as far as the cucumber, avocado and freshness of the sauce and the Zesta crackers. I had a Modelo Michelada which was delicious. The flavors on the rim, chef's kiss. My dining partner had the lava colada. She said it was very good. The service was very good. The ambience is spectacular, clean, with a very cute display of small figurines of pigs. The name of the restaurant means the three little pigs for those of you who do not speak Spanish. I would definitely swing by here. read more

First time here. I'm pretty wary of restaurants around the Lb area but this place was an exception, from the start the staff was kind and our server was quick with her job, was almost surprised of how efficient the service was. The food was great! I got the "Cochino fries" and my partner got a regular burrito, their mango margarita tasted amazing! Will come back to try the others. read more

I have been going to this restaurant for 30 years.And i've always enjoyed their refried beans and homemade salsas Today was my first time trying their Chile Verde fries. I was disappointed with then.

The service today, on a Monday at 4pm, was so unacceptable that we had to get up and leave. The crew was less than enthusiastic to serve us during a slow period. We came in, the host/ server said to sit anywhere. She dropped off menus and we ordered our drinks. We were ready to order right away but would wait until chips are drinks arrived. They never arrived. We waited around made eye contact with a few servers, none of which came to check on us. So I started people watching- * I observed another small family eating and the father asked the teen if they had forgotten to bring the quesadilla that was part of her order. She shook her head "no." * Two servers (one being the one that was to wait on our table) were behind the bar discussing a catering order in detail. * The cook told them that a tostada mixta had been ready for them to bring out to a table for some time now. The two still didn't get a move on tending to anything so we decided to leave. A note to the owner (who was present as his employees were slacking): It would be better to prioritize hiring for strong work ethic rather than "good looking broads" with bird brains. On another note: we've ordered takeout a few times during the later hours (~11pm) and the food has been subpar. Tortillas cold, No fixings included for the caldos, no utensils... I wouldn't recommend eating here anymore other than breakfast hours- The morning crew is always attentive and on point! read more

Great, quick service! First time here sitting down instead of picking up and i was pleasantly surprised. They have a full bar and tons of cocktail options on the menu. The restaurant is very cozy and the servers are all friendly. Chips and two different salsas served before your meal. I ordered the two verde chicken enchilada combination and my boyfriend order the verde wet burrito. Both were fresh and insanely delicious, with not much of wait for it. Everything tastes homemade and of good quality. They are open 24/7 thank goodness, so i will be back for my late night cravings! read more

I ordered a carne asada burrito to go. When I arrived home with my burrito and bit into it, I only tasted beans. When I opened it up I found 1/2 tablespoons spoon of meat , onions and cilantro and the rest was beans! I paid 15.00 for a bean burrito! The beans tasted bland and old. I am very disappointed. I will not go back there. read more

I go here for their fish soup. The fish soup always hits the spot and is great for a cold winter day. I eat it as a remedy soup when I'm not feeling well and it always helps me kick whatever I have going on. It's packed with nutrients and veggies, plus they give you a side of tortillas with your order. I also like their chips and salsa. Salsa is chunky the way I like it and chips are fresh with just the perfect amount of salt. I've only eaten here once or twice for their indoor sit down area. Booth tables are comfortable, but not always available as this spot can get crowded since it's open 24/7. The waitress/hostess are always a pleasure and make sure I have everything I need when I order takeout. They even have a conversation with you while waiting, so it's not like other places where you're awkwardly waiting for your food and get ignored until your number is called. They actually offer you water while you wait which I think is a nice touch. I definitely need to try another dish that's not soup (hehe). Oh yeah and their horchata is good; not too sweet and just the right consistency for my liking (not thick or creamy, I like mine runny like milk and flavorful). I give it a 4/5 for Mexican because the soup always does the trick, combined with their fresh salsa and service, can't go wrong. read more

Don't you just love the smell of disinfectant when you walk into a restaurant? Doesn't that smell just make your mouth water? Or how about biting into one of those great tortilla chips they've got in front of you on the table...they were fresh about a week ago. Yes, these are just a couple of the pleasures you'll enjoy at Los Tres Cochinitos. Notice that the parking lot is looking pretty empty? Hmmm. Wonder why...? Over the years, I've tried various dishes here, lunches as well as breakfasts, and each meal has been just a bit worse than the last. I guess that's a long way of saying that I really can't recommend anything. By the way, the chef must be going bald, judging from the hair he seems to leave in the food... There are some great restaurants I the South Bay Area. Even San Pedro has a few decent places. Clearly, this isn't one of them. read more
