I once lived a half a block away and this was my go to spot Parking can be tricky in the East Village it the location is prime with a great bar for locals and visitors alike.

Need a cold one and a good soccer game, great fans and some good stories Dále gas amigos ! The service is on point the food is authentic and ambiance one thousand percent Mexican ! Come drop in and say hello and leave with a full belly and a smile ! Thanks Super Mex!!!! We shall be back ! Keep it going ! We loved it ! read more

Ordered a one-item combo and somehow they managed to send only the cheese enchiladas and forgot the rice and beans -- literally half the combo. After working all day and being exhausted, the last thing I wanted was to deal with a restaurant that can't even double-check a simple order before sending it out. This wasn't some complicated custom order. It was a basic combo plate. Making sure the food matches the order is the bare minimum. Instead, I paid full price for an incomplete meal and got frustration instead of dinner. Mistakes happen, but this feels more like carelessness than an honest mistake. If you can't handle something this simple consistently, that's a problem. read more

Just like when I was a kid !! It's good to be back in Long Beach !! I was about 11 when I first had this place. I'm 45 now. Thank you for providing the same memorable flavor ! read more

Eighteen dollars for two crispy tacos that weren't crispy, plus rice and beans. I'm disappointed in the takeout for the steep price and the quality. I usually go to the restaurant and it was much better in the past. read more

We usually come here on Friday nights and Mono is always our man! He is so friendly and makes sure you have everything you need. He is both the bartender and food server We aren't sure why the rating here isn't higher because the food quality and service is amazing! If you happen to stop in, I recommend the bar seating. We have never been disappointed. read more

My spouse used to live in Long Beach, and this was his favorite Mexican place. He was excited to take me here on a Friday morning. We walked over and we were about 10 minutes early before they opened, but they let us in anyway. They started to soft with free chips and salsa. It was very good. We both had a spicy margarita, which was big and equally good. For his meal, he had the chicken tacos which he raved about. I had the cheese enchilada lunch special, which was delicious. It was a very large portion so I was not able to finish it. The waitstaff was extremely friendly. read more

Food - *****A+ The food here is so delicious, exactly the kind of oooey gooey cheesy Mexican grub that is my favorite. The portions are large here so you can share or take half home for tomorrow so good value too! The guacamole is so fresh and chunky. Service **** B. We sat in the bar for the first time tonight. The bartender is so joyful and helpful with yummy suggestions of his favorite items on the menu. As he delivers your food he warns you the plate is "Caliente!" Ambiance: **** B. The ambience in the bar is the best of the 3 options of where to sit here: the other two being the restaurant or the to-go Jr. Mex. The bar is the most fun and we are sitting on the barstools chatting with some characters. We might come back here not only for the best Mexican food but the fun conversations. read more

Visited last Saturday for dinner before we left to our Carnival Cruise. Started my vacation with a margarita and a taco dinner! Husband recommended this restaurant as he had it on previous work trips. This restaurant is comfort Mexican food and just feels like a warm hug. The shredded beef taco and chicken taco tasted just like tacos I had made from my mom. The salsa on top of the tacos perfectly accented the tacos. Beans and rice were perfection! The margarita was perfectly mixed and very delicious! Can't wait to come back! read more

FYI: Lite Beans is a completely different type of beans. I am extremely disappointed with my recent experience at SuperMax, and I have to give them just one star. As a regular customer at this location, I often enjoy the convenience and usually good food, but this time, the customer service was utterly unacceptable. The inside is cute gives a small restaurant vibe despite it being a chain restaurant. After placing my first order through UberEats using a gift card, I encountered significant confusion over my request for "lite beans." I assumed it meant a smaller portion of the regular refried beans, but instead, I received pinto beans--completely different from what I expected. On top of that, the rice was served in a smaller portion as well, which only added to my frustration. I acknowledge that this was my mistake, but it's not clear that asking for "lite beans" would result in receiving entirely different beans. This lack of clarity in their menu led to a frustrating experience, and I expected better communication from the restaurant. When I called to explain the situation, hoping for some understanding, I was met with a dismissive attitude. The staff member simply said, "Well, sorry, that's your fault." This kind of indifference is unacceptable. Instead of taking accountability or offering a resolution, they deflected blame. When I asked if I could get the correct beans, I was told I would have to pay for them because it was "my fault." To make matters worse, the to-go person tried to share their own personal story as if that would somehow make the situation better. Honestly, when I am trying to resolve my issues as a customer, I don't want to hear about someone else's problems. It's incredibly frustrating and completely misses the point of good customer service. Overall, the lack of accountability and poor customer service ruined my experience. For anyone using the app, be aware that choosing "lite beans" may result in receiving pinto beans instead of what you expect, and don't be surprised if the customer service leaves much to be desired. SuperMax really needs to step up their game in terms of communication and how they handle customer concerns. The one with cheese is normal beans and rice. The one without the cheese is lite beans and 'normal' rice. read more

Growing up going to Super Mex with my family, it's a nostalgic place! Had dinner here after many years of no Super Mex and it tastes just as delicious as it did two decades ago. Fresh ingredients (thinking of the salsa and guacamole), well-cooked meat (not dried out), HUGE food portions, and good service. Two people can easily split a plate if they're not starving. My fiancé and I each ordered a dish plus guac and chips to start. We were both so hungry, ate more than we should've, and still ended up with multiple servings of leftovers! Great value. When we're craving Super Mex again, we'll definitely come back to this location. read more

Super Mex - Supermex burrito - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

We walked by this place on a Friday night out. So come Saturday morning we decided to give this place a try and we were so happy we did!! The chips are tostada style and the salsa is pretty tasty. They have a menu of all their daily specials. I had the chilaquiles with green sauce and green rice and all of it was delicious! Our waitress was Lizelle and she was so nice! She would give extra recommendations to stuff we had no idea about, she recommended me the green rice which id never heard of before. Then my brother asked for some hot sauce and she brought him a few different options. She was definitely going above and beyond with us and we all really appreciated it! Especially mixing this great service with the great food, we will definitely be coming back! read more

Super Mex is always a little lackluster and not super flavorful , but they are hitting all time lows tonight! I paid over $10 for a bean and cheese burrito that I don't think was even cooked. The cheese was not even melted and it was cold. This is it for me. I will not be returning. read more

Came here on a spur of the moment with my lady and her friend for her birthday for some food and drinks and had a great experience! The music was good and not too loud and it was quiet for lunch time (as wanted). So it was speedy service. The tacos were bomb for their Taco Tuesday special. Their drinks were good and proper and the Tres Leche slice of birthday cake was good, as expected. Our waitress Lizz gave "Exquisite' service also (thats my word)! So overall we definitely will be back, especially on a Tuesday! read more

I was near Long Beach with the wife and my daughter and the service here was great but the prices were a little wild Not hating as it's a restaurant so you will pay more than your average meal but man I was craving that plate with the beans with cheese & rice with the protein but it was close to 25 bucks lol, the plate is big but not worth it for me, I got the burrito which cost me 12 bucks which wasn't bad but there's better burrito out there for 8 bucks, I just paid 4 dollars extra to sit in a nice place read more

Supermex in Long Beach is a hidden gem that never disappoints! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm, casual atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The service is always friendly and fast, and the food? Absolutely delicious. Their chips and salsa come out fresh and crisp, and the salsa has just the right kick. I ordered the carne asada burrito, and it was packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and generously portioned. You can tell they use fresh ingredients and traditional recipes. The menu has a great variety--tacos, enchiladas, combo plates--and everything I've tried has been consistently tasty. Plus, the prices are super reasonable for the quality and amount of food you get. read more

Why do I eat all of the good food before I take the pics?!?!?! I'm so sorry you guys. Please believe me when I say we enjoyed our food so much. Super Mex is one of my favorite places to eat Mecixan food. I have never been to the Long Beach location on 1st street until today. The customer service is A-1! Friendly, all smiles ( I love that), and it's a warm environment. I had the ground beef enchiladas with rice and beans, of course. My partner had the chicken enchiladas and a chicken tamale. OMGEEE!! All of it was more than satisfying. The horchata colada was amazing, and the house margarita hit just right. Come on down and have a bite. It's worth it. read more

Ordered four combos, which we all ordered with crunchy tacos. Unfortunately the crunchy tacos were so soggy, once we picked up the bag, we were questioning if we had ordered soft tacos. They were all soggy, and we were missing two tacos on top of that. We were waking distance from the restaurant and ended up having a back and forth with who I am assuming is the manager, named Veronica. She was backing her staff and blaming us. We were only asking for them to make up the two missing tacos, not for a refund. However, Veronica was so aggressive and was standing her ground. We were not asking for a refund, but she made it seem like we were asking the impossible. I'm sorry, sometimes convenience is not so convenient. read more

Absolutely amazing! Mono thank you for your service made the trip from Altadena Worth the traffic. Food is still outstanding

This has been my go to place for two decades. We stopped by today and were sort of taken back by the experience. Food was okay. My OG margarita was not good. Service was meh. Maybe we fell through a glitch in the matrix on our way here? It was an unusually mediocre experience. Based on other reviews, this may be the new Super Mex and it makes me sad. read more

I'm sad to say that this Super Mex has lost its touch. Not sure what happened to them but before covid and when I lived in LB it was worth the drive and/or delivery. Heck, it was worth the struggle with parking honestly. But, the last time I came by and got my usual a Carnitas Super Mex Burrito it just wasn't as good as I remember it to be. It was mildly wet with the red sauce and the carnitas had a lot of hard fatty pieces. Sighhh. I always order to go so idk about service in the restaurant so I can't speak on that. M But parking sucks and it's limited. So hopefully you come by with a DD so you can jump out and get your order. I won't give up on them. Next time I'm in LB I'm def trying their food again. read more

My buddy and I made the trip up to Long Beach for some pizza he thought was 5 stars. When we got there the pizza oven was "down"! He was not happy, we left with a frown and hungrily headed down the street. Oh Joy, a Supermex we spied! We were quickly and happily seated in the clean and cheerful dining room surveying their extensive menu of delicious food. We both ordered burritos! The green Chile pork burrito was massive and looked delicious. He ate every bite and looked hungrily at my shredded chicken burrito in the whole wheat tortilla! I couldn't finish it and I let him pick my leftovers! This place may have saved our friendship! Thank you Supermex! read more

had tasty food, clean environment and server Mitchell (michel?) was great!! The nachos come quite loaded and the horchata was balanced

I am a consistent customer but never ordering from here again. They have me pinto beans instead of refried. They were also stingy with the tortilla chips and provided me with one salsa. I believe they didn't care because I order off Uber eats. This place is trash and I would never go back. read more

Super Mex - Combination - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

I love their hard shell shredded beef tacos all the time. I found this location near Yelp's event area. I ordered 5 beef tacos w Modelo beer. My wife got 2 fish tacos. As soon as I bite first taco, I said, yumm...yummy....this is it. I give 5 stars. I know the qualities of tacos. My wife likes the soft shell tacos. We toasted to celebrate for our front yard project tonight. The parking is pretty tough. They have 2 hour limited street parking but no spot available. The inside restaurant is big and typically decorated like Mexican style. Our server was super friendly and served our foods so fast. Thanks for the great service. The prices are little higher than other tack areas. They have also Taco Tuesday for the discount. Once you check in Yelp, you get the $5 off for the total bill. I really enjoyed my beef tacos. I recommend this place for the shredded taco lovers. read more

We decided to eat some tacos after Yelp's party tonight. There is only one taco restaurant on the 1st street near Ocean Blvd. My hubby liked the hard shell shredded beef tacos at Cypress location in the past. We ordered 5 beef shredded hard shell tacos, and 2 fish tacos w soft shell for me. Not too bad when I tasted first fish taco, so hot....hot. I barely touched the fish taco. My hubby loved his 5 shredded tacos. He really enjoyed. I noticed the prices were little high, modelo mexican beer were too. But the flavors were good. They served the big round chips w salsa. Great taste! We had $5 discount for Yelp check in. I always check before I pay the bill. Thanks! Yelp! We ate lots of tacos tonight and we were so happy like Taco Tuesday. Haha.... read more

Messed up on my order I specifically said no onions my tacos were filled with onions. The shells were also very dry. I paid for cheese and they barely put any on the tacos. It was literally a sprinkle. Not impressed at all. read more

This was another great visit to Super Mex. This location is on the far east side of downtown, and is very convenient for folks leaving the Grand Prix from the East exits. Even though there were a lot of people exiting from the event, there was no wait to get a nice elevated table. We were seated right away and Sandra was a great, attentive waitress. The best thing about all Super Mex's is their shredded beef. It's not birria, but is still flavorful, and all quality (no gristle). We shared a classic mango margarita for $9, and it was OK. The chimichangas combo ($16.95) came with two mini chimichangas and it was stuffed just with shredded beef, wrapped in a flour tortilla and deep fried, coming with rice and beans and a big dallop of guac. I ordered a tostada with shredded beef ($12.95), and it by itself was enough for me. It comes in a tortilla deep-fried bowl (more likely what other restaurants would use for their taco salad....here their taco salad is just that, a salad). which wasn't very crispy. But the same great shredded beef was plentiful, and made the tostada very tasty. Complementary chips and salsa is given, where the 'chips' are really tostadas that your break apart yourself. Next time, I would order the taco salad, and just use the complementary 'chips' as the 'crunch' that I love so much in a taco salad. It comes with complementary salsa, which is excellent...very good to put on your main entree for more flavor. read more

Great service, great food. Received our food very quickly. Our waitress was amazing. Gave us a history of the place.

Ordered take out, two super carne asada burritos, well they may have called them rice and beans. Literally paid for rice and bean burritos, the meat was non existent. Never ordering from this place again, I also have let anyone and everyone I know not to as well. This restaurant in my opinion does not value quality or their customers enough to give a decent portion of meat, that they are charging $15 dollars for. I work at a restaurant and take pride in the quality ,and pride we take in our food and giving customers what they pay for. I never give bad reviews, but this time I have to. Really highly disgusted with the order I received. read more

Awesome food, great service and hefty portions. Parking can be a challenge, but well worth the trip.
