    Inside of a half of a Carne Asada burrito
    Sonia S.

    Walked here on a cold and sunny afternoon as most of the places in Long Beach are closed today. It's located across the way in a food truck area, but is not a food truck. The ambiance is very casual with outdoor seating and depending on the weather can be enjoyable, but I would imagine most days pretty breezy...but you could opt to eat in your car. We were quickly greeted. Ordered a taco plate and a burrito. Food was ready in about 5 minutes. Let me warn you that this is not an authentic Mexican food spot. This place serves gringo food. If youre looking for authentic Mexican hit up Pattys. Carne Asada tacos were okay--the rest of it, well...tbh...I was sad that I paid money for it. The rice and beans were horrible. Rice was seasoned rice, not Mexican rice. Beans tasted like canned beans that had been "dressed up" While the burrito was big, it needed more meat. Had plenty of the nasty beans and rice in it. Taco Bell style with lettuce and tomatoes. Salsa was okay...surprised that the hot salsa actually had a little spice to it. I personally would not return.

    We are a family of 7 so the set up is great so we can all get a little of what we want. I got four tacos, two carne asada and two Al pastor. My DIL also got a chicken taco salad. All were EXCELLENT! Gal running the stand also ran our food orders out to us because the tables that are set up to eat at are far enough away that the ringers dont work well. Next time we are in Long Beach we will be back for sure. Bring a coat and you'll be happy!

    Taco Shack - carne asada and chicken

    We stopped by on a Friday just before a lunch rush, about 11:30. They've got a cute little shop sitting in a large gravel lot, loads of parking available. We opted for a few carne asada and chicken tacos. They double up their corn tortillas, great for the "hold together" factor, but for me they could've been grilled a bit more. The meats were great in both, lots of flavor. I especially liked the crispness to the chicken. Pretty enjoyable lunch. :)

    Rockfish, Asada, carne

    We stopped in for lunch and was greeted by a young lady with a smile and ordered rockfish tacos and a pork and a steak taco. The rockfish tacos were outstanding, steak was very good, the pork was a little overcooked for my liking but the verde salsa made it delicious as well. Definitely a great little spot with a couple tables to sit outside and enjoy.

    Huge burrito
    Mindi J.

    Service was quick and very friendly. Portions are huge. Beans did taste like they are from a can. Price was decent, and I really didn't mind. The flavor was still good with cilantro, lime, and hot sauce. Would love to go back and try other menu options. The burrito bowl sounded amazing.

    2 rockfish tacos

    Absolutely delicious rockfish tacos! I will definitely stop here each time I come to Long Beach. Friendly service as well. Thank you. (I'm not sure why this place doesn't come up when you search for takeout as it's not a restaurant, but I'm so glad I came across it!)

    "The Meal" carnitas plate
    Melissa P.

    We moved here from California a couple years ago, and taco shack in my opinion has the best tacos in Pacific County. I always get the carnitas taco plate ("The Meal") generously topped with fresh cilantro onions and Mexican cheese. YUM. And they serve with fresh limes. Fools my taste buds into thinking we are back in Cabo.

    Great tacos! Generous portions with really fresh limes & salsa. The picnic tables provided a great spot to eat and early lunch.

    Portion is small and food is ok. I did not like cheese in my taco. Not sure why the rating is so high.

    The Cove is arguably the best restaurant in Long Beach. It's part of the golf course and doesn't…read morehave a ton of seating, but you can easily make a reservation online. Service is friendly, the menu is varied, they have a good kids menu, and the food is fresh and delicious. All four of us loved what we got tonight. My favorite was probably the BLTTA sandwich, but the sweet potato fries with honey mustard for dipping is TOP TIER. Our server was Cara, and she was sweet and offered great suggestions and she told us about some upcoming holiday events they were having which we will likely attend. Our bill at the end was very reasonable. The Cove will be our go-to from now on!

We chose to sit on the back patio overlooking the golf course. The patio is covered and has about 6-8 tables. Love all their beautiful flowers surrounding the building! The menu has a nice variety of options for both food and drinks. We ended up ordering the BLTTA sandwich with house made chips, the reuben sandwich with sweet potato waffle fries and one of their daily specials, brisket with macaroni and cheese. The food was fresh and delicious! Everything was cooked perfectly and we all finished our food. No leftovers. We especially loved the sweet potato waffle fries; crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The turkey on the BLTTA was not lunch meat, it was fresh turkey breast. So yummy! Overall a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back to try some of their other menu items. Highly recommend.

    Awesome food. Great service…read more Unassuming location. We arrived in town and by the time we were settled in to our hotel room, it was time for dinner. After looking on the internet for what's available, High Tide Grille sounded good. After a short drive from our hotel we found the unassuming single story building next to a thrift store. The parking lot was full. That's a good sign. Never eat at a restaurant with only a couple cars in the lot at any time. There is at least 4 employees working. Only 3 cars in the lot, keep driving. There was still some parking. We walked in as the last group was leaving. Sat immediately with water and menus soon after. The menu had some good choices. A little something for all ages. My Mother in law chose a French dip and fries. My Wife got the BLT and Fries. I wanted an order of Steamer Clams and Fettuccine Alfredo with Prawns. Our waiter took our order, unfortunately, they were out of clams due to supply shortage. No problem, I had trouble deciding on clams or calamari. No clams, no problem. I'll have fried calamari as our appetizer. All the food for our meal looked amazing. Unfortunately for the internet, the only picture I managed to take was of the calamari and we started eating it before I could open my camera app. Trust me. The pictures would be nice but it couldn't catch the reality of the food here. Amazing. The calamari was tender with a good crunchy batter. It was perfect. I'd come back just for the calamari. My Mother in law and my Wife had the genius idea of splitting there sandwiches. So they each got a French Dip and a BLT. Smart. I was not sharing my food, not after I tasted the sauce. The Alfredo Sauce was cheesy and savory. The Prawns were cooked perfectly and the Toast that it came with, da bomb. They could make a dish that was just the toast and sauce. I'd buy it. A lot. The ladies joyfully ate their sandwiches but complained they had a lot of fries. I.E. They both eat like baby birds. I didn't have any complaints. If I did have one suggestion, it would be, sprinkle a little fresh herbs on the pasta. Needs a little contrast in color. It would only be better. My other suggestion would be to never serve warm water. Our refill was a little warm. I was the only one who ordered a drink and it was only a soda. I can't tell you how many times at other restaurants, I was handed a fountain drink that was flat at best. Not at High Tide Grille, they handed me a can of soda and a glass full of ice. I couldn't have asked for more. It was only a soda but it was exactly the way I love it. Another home run for this unassuming grille. The ladies obviously didn't eat all their fries. We also didn't finish the calamari and I also didn't finish my pasta. Not because we didn't like something, but because it was a decent amount of food. Not overflowing but not skimpy. The prices were decent as well. I mean seriously, expect to pay higher prices anywhere near the coast. High Tide Grille wasn't that high priced in my opinion. For good table side service and great food, High Tide Grille was priced decent. I guess we have to come back and get those Steamer Clams another time. Awesome.
