With so many new Mexican restaurants in the area, I've taken Super Mex for granted. I used to frequent Super Mex when I lived a couple blocks away, but now live closer to Leo's and usually want to try other places when I'm in the mood for this cuisine. There is something to be said about a casual and simple joint that's been open in downtown Long Beach for nearly a couple decades. They've even expanded to other areas like Lakewood, Whittier and Bixby Knolls. I was reminded by Yelp friend, John K, to pay a visit for curbside pick-up since it's a bit of a stretch for him. It was easy ordering take-out through Grubhub. Much like other places, the menu is slightly limited during this time. However, they had all the options of their legendary wet burritos. I ordered the Chili Verde and it was as ginormous as they usually are, stuffed with all the fixings: beans, rice, lettuce and topped with cheese and guac. Bf was craving chile relleno, and though they didn't have it, they offered the next best choice, their popular Mixed Fajita of steak, chicken and shrimp with a side of tortillas, rice & beans. The portions are generous and dishes hit the spot. They even threw in extra tostada chips and salsa in our order. Thirsty? They're also selling soft drinks, horchata, jamaica, beer and margaritas with purchase. Nice to see a few others waiting for their food as well- a good sign that they're getting steady business! I'll have to be sure not to let so much time lapse between my next visit! read more

Super Mex - Legendary Wet Chili Verde Burrito & Mixed Fajitas (this one's for John K!) - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

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

The food was okay! The service was okay.. ambiance was take out. I ordered food with no beans, no cheese, no sour cream. I got all three on my super Mex burrito... the cashier repeated my order twice and I still did receive the order I paid for. Either the cashier did input my order right or the cook is doing wherever they want... IF I GO BACK ... ILL OPEN MY ORDER BEFORE LEAVING THE RESTAURANT read more

Mono is what went well! If coming here he is your go-to server. Making sure all is well with your order giving you the best service. Viva super mex!!! read more

Always a good experience here, Kelly was training behind the bar and was amazing! We been coming here for years and recommend to anyone!

Love this place, the server's and cashier's are awesome. Miss some of the workers that use to work there. Sandra, Javier, Judith, Ana and Kiyah. All the new employers are great as well. Food is awesome I recommend the fajitas, Love there chimis. The only thing parking sucks. read more

Amazing food. Maybe the best chips and salsa. I really like how you can order chips and salsa to go. Beer prices are a little high. Service is good read more

Good service and good food. Not sure if I dig the chips very much. They seem to be tostada shells. Salsa was very good though. A little pricy for two people. Almost $50. Nevertheless, definitely one of the best spots for mexican food that I've been to in the LB area, would definitely come back! read more

Super Mex - 14. Two Cheese Enchiladas, Rice & Beans - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

Came here after a show at the Long Beach Performing Arts center with sister. She has been to a few different locations of this place, so I trusted her. Standard American Mexican, combos, burritos and whatnot. The chips and salsa were good. It's a salsa verde and the chips are actual whole corn tortillas. I had a cheese enchilada, Shredded Beef enchilada and a shredded beef taco. All were delicious and hot and cheesy and gooey. The refried beans were also very creamy. I didn't even touch the rice because I never like Spanish rice. I would definitely come back here if in the area. read more

Super Mex - Cheese enchilada, Shredded Beef enchilada and a shredded beef taco. All very delicous and hot - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

The food taste okay but the prices are out of control. $8 for one soft taco is a little extreme even with the price increases of food my

Me and my boyfriend come here often. Great Mexican food, but i wouldn't say it's the best I've ever had. Some of their dishes fall short. Portions are huge and there's always enough to take for dinner. I wish they had more seafood options! Service is EXCELLENT! read more

came back in today and our server was really rude to be honest, and they no longer offer a birthday dessert???? we came here literally less than a month ago to celebrate my girls birthday and now it's my birthday, but they don't do it. what a joke. never coming back here. read more

Salsa and chips(tostadas) tasty green salsa that is not tomatillo based. The combo #28 is a taco , enchilada and relleno, the relleno is a poblano loaded with cheese quite good and i am not a super poblano fan in the relleno. The enchiladas red sauce was good, not great,the burger meat something in there had a sweet taste. Far and away the tacos were the stars. The chicken was raved about and the beef was well seasoned and plentiful. It was a tremendous taco, crunchy greatness. Ma had the cocido soup, it should come with the standard California warning of no lifeguard on duty... The bowl was large to say the least. Drowning hazard, you could be saved with the ears of corn the potatoes and the zucchinis and ears of corn... Say nothing of the chuck roast. A solid full pound of meat was in that soup. The churros for dessert were an added bonus. Great service and great iced tea!! read more

Service; excellent Food: I mean it wasn't terrible but they charged almost $20 for nachos with Carne Asada and to top it off. They only give you a little bit of meat and a whole bunch of beans and a whole bunch of cheese. I didn't even finish eating the nachos cause it was so disgusting, I will never ever eat anything ever again read more

The food and the service was excellent! Came here for a late lunch on Halloween and it was the perfect time. Our waiter was very helpful and attentive, left us alone while eating but were there if we needed anything. The food and drinks were excellent, i had planned on taking leftovers for work but it was all so good we both finished everything. Will definitely stop by again soon! read more

Man look! I just ordered a wet burrito through Door Dash. Let me tell you this was the worst Mexican food I have had in life! The inside of the burrito was dry but that's not even the worst part. The carne asada was dry almost like beef jerky but had the flavor of like dog food.. I'm extremely disappointed to the point I had to settle for Taco Bell tonight! read more

Use to be my fav, now it's the worst place to go. There is a guy that works there (maybe the manager) who is wonderful no complaints about him. But everyone else has an attitude. I think they may be racist against non Hispanics , which sucks. Pros : Fast food Some great options Placing phone orders are hit or miss but overall , okay. Cons Mean staff ( except the older Hispanic guy) Rude service Discriminatory (they didn't use to be ) Food can be a big hit or miss but now more of a miss ***Option - go to the one on 2nd Street ****** read more

We been coming here for over 15 years. However, the prices continue to go up. They are asking over 20.00 for a burrito and 7.50 for 1 soft taco, yes you heard right 7.50. Also the food does not taste like it use to. Please stop increasing your prices, will not be coming back. read more

First time trying this place and this is really one of the best burritos I've had in a while! Not only is the food fresh and delicious chips and salsa was provided!!! Get this guac and sour cream is no extra cost. Can't wait to come back and bring people with me next time. read more

Rude and no apologies and could have explained it nicely !! Don't support this place discriminated me and my support pup so I left!! On top of being embarrassed so demeaning treating customers that way!!! Nope zero star read more

As I sat by the window of Super Mex, I missed getting a photo of the murder (flock) of crows. I missed getting a photo of a flock of bicycle riders headed toward the beach. I missed the blimp flying low overhead. I didn't miss the bus (see photo). Indeed, I missed the first time that I had Super Mex salad. Perhaps that earlier rendition was from a particularly inspired cook. Someone on Yelp recently downplayed the value of updates. Very illogical. Too many nuances can be present to say "I got this" and slap shut the astute book. Albondigas Soup was excellent. Vegetables were cut as I do, I don't dice much. So you got a nice mouthful of perfectly cooked celery, carrot or potato in a tasty broth. The meatballs were tender and plentiful. Good job. The soup and the wonderfully congenial staff, Gabriela, Xavier et al, made this a very pleasant lunch. Bf said five stars. I'll skip the salad next time. read more

So it ended up being the place that's across the street from where my friends were staying and they say hey let's go here we went there a wile back and yeah so that's how it came about being Super! We came in on a Sunday evening it was kinda dead we sat down right away and we were instantly taken care of by Fernando who went out of his way to make sure we were welcomed as well as taken care of the entire time we were here he did a Super job and was very friendly they are lucky to have him as a server! Having not been here before and just ending up here I didn't even have time to look it up on this handy Yelp app before sitting down so once the chips came out it was Check-in time and what to my surprise did appear nothing short of a $5 off Check-In Offer when you spend $25 booyah! So after a few minutes our drinks came out and to my surprise they give you a shot on the side and not in your drink I don't think I've seen anywhere do that before but hey at least you know your getting a whole shot lol! After a bit more time our food came out and wile my wet shredded beef burrito looked yummy it was about average when it comes to Mexican food as it had a good amount of filler inside meaning lettuce which is something I feel just doesn't go well with a wet burrito when it's tucked away inside but either way the burrito was yummy but definitely about average when it comes to these types. Overall decent average Mexican food so you really can't go wrong the chips and salsa are good the burrito was yummy and the service was awesome I doubt I'll be coming here again anytime soon but it's definitely alright when it comes to Mexican food so you really can't go wrong! read more

Craving crunchy tacos to go, my neighbor recommended Super Mex thought I give it a go. My food was piping hot and securely package (no leaking food or sauce) well in resealable containers. This particular also included besides my 2 chicken tacos, rice/beans, side of about 4 corn tortillas and one enchilada. In addition I added to 1 order chili Toreados, chips w/ salsa,, and tomatillo sauce. The rice and beans were well seasoned and delicious so good I wanted more. The chicken enchilada was moist with white moist chicken meat. The red sauce didn't over take but complimented by only apply it evenly as well as sparely. I love cutting into the favorable tasty enchilada. As for the chicken tacos they were stuffed with seasoned moist white chicken meat, I had to pull some of the meat out of each taco. (Good problem to had I just mixed it into my rice and beans). I would have love for the taco shell to have been a bit more on the crunchy side. Love alternating each bit with their well seasoned chili peppers which had a sting of fire which was an added bonus. Another compliment was the crunchy tortillas and the sauce that came with them was delicious. Complimentary corn tortillas to which I saved for another go at completing part 2 of this combo as this was a great deal of food. It's a good kinda of problem as I look forward to eating there leftovers tomorrow. I those seasoning will have surely kicked in by then. read more

For me a good margarita makes a Mexican restaurant & this margarita lacked salt & flavor!! It was small and seemed fit of ice and not tequila. However the SALSA here is quite good! It's tomato-y and spicy at the same time but smooth so you can get ample amounts on your chip! We had burritos they were yummy! read more

Disappointed! I really like their food. We go there at least twice a month. But the "Take Out" Sucks !!! Over $30.00 in food and 3 chips?? They make you pay for extra salsa, yet if you dine in you can consume dozens of chips and Gallons of salsa for free.. please just a little equity? This is not the 1st, 2nd or 3rd time that this has Happened. it's just dumb. At least they could send 1 salsa per person. read more

Super Mex - We ordered over $30.00 in food and got 3 Chips?? The take out always SUCKS!!! They're so stingy with the salsa. - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

Reluctantly, we decided to go. Happily we ate and enjoyed. The bar area is the place to sit, however. This is the first of the restaurants in the Super Mex chain and, was surprisingly good. Their salsa was incredibly good. And the entrées we ordered were both satisfying. We got the grilled fish off of the light menu and the beef salad. Will I be back? Definitely. read more

Excellent!!!! Great food, great service, Excellent!!!! Great food, great service, Excellent!!!! Great food, great service,

I have done take out from here so many times. During the Pandemic I noticed they changed their menu and the prices were higher. When so many people are hurting and been affected by COVID, is not the time to raise your prices. The other day I stopped in because I wanted three hard shell beef tacos. They don't even have tacos listed on their menu. The girl said because they're a la carte. I said how much are they? She said $4.50. I couldn't believe my ears. They charge $4.50 for 1 a la carte taco. I told them never mind. As I was leaving the young dude behind the counter sarcastically said; "Have a nice day." You know what dude? I did have a nice day, because I found a better and less expensive place with better quality food, nicer food servers, and they care about the community they serve! I'm done with Jr Mex on 1st St. read more
