Beautiful restaurant right off the water. Great ambiance. We ended up sharing a bunch of dishes, getting that tapas experience. Also got the paella mixto with a variety of protein. Overall, flavors were great. There were a few dishes that came out a tad bit dry, so hit or miss, but most were on point. Drinks were a lot of fun. I mean, that was the first time I saw a mint mojito with so much personality. Might be worth just coming for drinks and the view alone. Parking is free for 90 minutes, no validation. read more

The bar staff was friendly attentive and made great suggestions on food and drink drinks. We also really enjoyed chat and found out most of the management. Staff is from Spain. The restaurant is lively, but not too loud. A girl conversation can still be had. They really enjoyed the food. The octopus was tender, the meatball and the sauce. We're ready to bathe in it. The ham croquettes order a dozen, two coquette only what's the appetite for more. Welcome come back for more little tapas! read more

The food is amazing, we went here for lunch and they have a special Monday to Friday which includes a starter, entree, and dessert. The food was absolutely delicious and flavorful. All the dishes were fantastic. Natalia our server is amazing! She was very professional, friendly, helpful, and tentative. We went with her recommendations and we are glad we did because every single dish was delicious and flavorful. Highly recommend this spot. My new favorite restaurant. read more

Celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary with a wonderful meal from this spot. The ambiance, service, and food were outstanding. We felt like we're back in Spain from the moment we entered the restaurant. The food was so delicious and was super authentic and very similar to what we had in Spain. We are definitely coming back again soon Gracias por todo chicos read more

Can I say that I didn't know what to expect? My hubby and I came on a rainy day for a lunch date. And it was extremely cute and cozy. We were able to enjoy our lunch with the sound of the rain falling beside us. The service was great, the workers were very nice and welcoming. I felt very comfortable there dining. We got a lunch special to share which includes a starter and a main dish. We got the tuna tacos and the Spanish albondigas. Both were soooo delicious. Honestly I think about it to this day and thinking about when I will be going back. read more

Teleferic is an import straight from Barcelona and I'm happy to say the food is excellent! When we visited the service and pacing of the kitchen was on the slow side but hopefully they've improved since. The tapas and paella were excellent. I certainly wouldn't mind coming back again. read more

Keep forgetting to review this place. Been here about 4 times. It's a nice place to have cocktails. My favorite is la flaca. I've been here twice for NYE lunch and Mother's Day. A great place to come with family and friends, maybe a date night? The paella is ok, there's usually more rice stuck to the pan than you can actually grab to eat. The wait staff and manager are always welcoming and happy to talk to you. read more

To start, this place is beautiful and in a great, easy to find location. Our hostess was friendly and very welcoming, along with each of the staff. Overall, the food was good but a bit underwhelming. We ordered the wagyu empanadas which were good but would have loved them to be crispy rather than soft. Additionally we had the Brussel sprouts which were perfect and a must try, the cheese and sauce made it extra delish. For our entree we shared the Paella Negra which had squid ink rice, shrimp, baby clams, baby scallops and broccolini. This dish was tasty but also we just expected more from it. We were asked if we wanted rice that was crunchy and you can scrape off the pan and we said yes but the rice was soft and not at all crunchy. There was 6 large shrimp, 6 small clams and the baby scallops were so tiny we thought they were pieces of garlic. Aside from the big shrimp, you are left with mostly more rice than anything else since the clams and scallops were so tiny. Even with the empanadas and brussel sprouts it was not a lot but I see the potential on each dish. This was also the first night of their new menu so of course there may be an opportunity to adjust some of the food. read more

Teleferic Barcelona is a Spanish restaurant with locations in Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Barcelona. Their tapas and sangrias are delicious, and it's a great way to enjoy good food and drink with good company. Service is slower and deliberate, so plan for a longer meal; however, I think it's because tapas and drinks are meant to be enjoyed and savored amongst good company. Prices are quite high; however, a great time to check out the menu is during Dine LA week, which is going on through Friday, February 6. They have $35 and $55 menus that give you a strong sampling of the menu. For what they offer in Dine LA, you'd easily be paying double on any other week. I highly recommend getting a sangria here as it's very flavorful and delicious. If you're coming in a group, definitely get their sangria flight. My wife prefers the spicy sangria and I like the sweeter Sangria Barcelonetta; however, their telerferic sangria is more red wine forward. If you get a paella, then you should ask for a crispy "socarrat" so that you don't get rice with mushy textures. Their seafood was a little underdone for my preferences; therefore, I prefer their pork paellas to their lobster paellas. I think their paella mixta has a nice balance between the textures of pork and seafood. For dessert, I'm not really a fan of their torrija; however, their churros are enjoyable as they're filled with chocolate and caramel. read more

I really wanted to love this place because I enjoy Spanish cuisine, but unfortunately my first visit had quite a few issues. Ambiance: The ambiance was actually really nice. The space is spacious and the interior is well done, making it a good spot to go with a small group of friends. This was honestly the main reason I didn't rate this place one star. Service: The service, however, was pretty subpar. I had a reservation and arrived a few minutes early. The restaurant was very crowded, which I understand, but we still ended up waiting past our reservation time before being seated. Once we were seated, our server took our order. My husband and I ordered the pork strip steak, wagyu empanada, and pollo empanada. My cousin and her husband ordered the wagyu empanada and the iberico paella. For drinks, my husband ordered a glass of wine, and my cousin and I ordered the sangria flight. We knew the paella would take longer since the menu mentions about a 35-minute cook time, but we ended up waiting almost an hour for our food. When the appetizers came out, they only brought the wagyu empanada and completely forgot the pollo empanada. We asked both the food runner and our server multiple times, and each time we were told, "We'll go check on it" or "We'll look into it." What made it even more frustrating was that the food runner almost brought us someone else's order at one point, which made us think our empanada may have been given to another table. After asking about it 3-4 times and still not receiving it, we eventually asked for it to be removed from the bill. I understand dinner rushes can be hectic, but this shouldn't keep happening. Staff and food runners definitely need better coordination. They also automatically charge an 18% gratuity, which felt a bit much considering the overall experience. And just a heads up -- they do not validate parking, so don't bother asking. Now for the most important part -- the food: Before coming here, we looked this place up and thought the food looked really good, which is why we decided to try it. Unfortunately, we were pretty disappointed. Starting with the empanadas -- the presentation felt unnecessary, and the portion size was extremely small compared to other empanadas I've had. When I think of empanadas, I expect something bigger and more filling, not something the size of a dumpling. It was way too small and not what we were expecting. When our main dishes finally came out, my husband's and my pork strip steak was cold. Not warm -- cold. On top of that, it was very salty. The seasoning was completely overpowering. The paella was also very disappointing. We expected a fluffy bed of rice with the ingredients on top, but instead the rice tasted burnt and overly crispy around the edges, almost like rice chips. The saltiness completely took over the dish. It honestly felt like the rice was left to crisp up before being served. Not the best first experience with paella at all. The only thing we actually enjoyed were the churros. Other than that, the food was very disappointing. I've had my fair share of Spanish food, and this just wasn't it. Overall, my experience here wasn't great, and I don't know if I'll be coming back anytime soon. Thanks for the meal, and hopefully things improve in the future. read more

We went on a Thursday evening around 6 PM. The service and the food were amazing. I probably could've just the appetizer and have been satisfied. Our favorite appetizer or the crab croquettes.

We went for dineLA. Four of us, 2 couples. Everyone participated and wow, it was A LOT of food for $55/each. We had lots of leftovers. The seafood/lobster paella was the table fave and the shrimps were also great! It was a Saturday night so it was packed but the host was super friendly, the server was nice and everyone looked happy even though it was jammed and the kitchen was backed up. The space itself is gorgeous. My only gripe was the music is a bit loud and it's literally the same 2-step Beat. The whole time. But amazing dining experience and excellent addition to 2nd and PCH. read more

Stopped by during LA Dine week and overall it was a decent experience. The restaurant is in a nice location, there is plenty of parking around, and the food was good. The only reason it doesn't get five stars will be explained below. The service started off good considering it was very busy and our waiter did his best to keep us updated on our order. The waiter mentioned they were training new kitchen staff so it was causing a delay which is understandable but we were there for over two hours. He was great but it was slow. The Pan Con Tomate was too tomato forward & bland for me and the bread was borderline burnt which was overpowering at times. The Patatas Bravas were excellent, the tuna tacos were excellent, and both the Lobster & Iberico paella were excellent. The drinks were also excellently crafted, especially the Iberico Sour and the Bryans Legacy. The dessert was also good, in particular the churros. Overall, I wasn't too happy about the service but the waiter explained ahead of time which eased our tension at the table. I will definitely return to give the another go. read more

This restaurant has been on our list for some time and it was the perfect time to try it with Dine La. Off the bat what ruined my night was having the check handed over with an 18% "service fee" (aka tip) included automatically for a party of 3. I always tip well (and did this time too) but was very annoyed at having that included when it's not a norm. Now, let's talk food: The $35/pp cost came with 3 appetizers for each: crab croqueta, patatas bravas, and gambaa al ajillo. My favorite was the croqueta and patatas bravas which were both extremely tasty. Next up, we opted for the Paella Mixta. We ended up getting 1 between the three of us. It was decent portion however, didn't like that it had very little pork belly (literally 4 tiny pieces). Lastly, we ended with Torrija for dessert which was toast with crème brûlée , ice cream, and passion fruit. The mixture of flavors left you wanting more. The ambiance was very cute for date night. Servers were friendly. read more

This place in the 2nd Street and PCH strip mall in Long Beach is really good. You can use the parking structure and the validate your ticket to up to 2 hrs. Also you can park across the street for free if not a busy day. We felt welcomed and love the hostess's Spanish accent. We ordered a Red Velvet cocktail it was tasty and looked great but the ice ball is too big so seems like there's no much to drink. Appetizers as shown in pics are super delicious but tiny. Wellington steak is super delish. Dessert to die for. Waiter was busy and forgot about us for a while. We had to ask another waiter for service. Overall a great experience. read more

I recently visited Telefèric Barcelona 1992 at 2nd & PCH and had such a great experience! I've never been to this location before, but having been to Barcelona, I can honestly say the vibes and the food brought me right back. Everything we tried was delicious and felt really authentic. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Natalia (who I believe may have been a manager) was wonderful, and our server was also fantastic. This spot is perfect for a celebration, date night, or even just a fun night out with friends. Highly recommend checking it out! I wish I took more photos of all the different food I tasted. Loved the octopus, shrimp, and dessert! I had such a great time and will definitely be back! read more

I don't do tapas often but based on location/geography, we chose Teleferic Barcelona as our dinner venue for a small holiday get-together and we were all happy with the venue/ambiance, service as well as the food. They are on the first level of the 2nd & PCH shopping center in Long Beach and on the outside perimeter close to the Whole Foods side so don't park on the other end of the 2nd & PCH center if you don't want a longer walk.

Update on my previous 5 star review. Stopped in with a friend for lunch on a Saturday. It was quite empty and quiet. We sat in the enclosed patio and ordered from their lunch specials. I had the pulpo and the tomato salad. Both were great! What was not great was the service. I recognized some of the staff from my previous visit and, for an empty afternoon, they were not very attentive. But what really struck me was when our bill came- it was twice as much as it should have been. It took awhile for the hostess/server to get to us despite my multiple attempts raising my hand at her. When she came, she literally approached the table saying "did I overcharge you?" When I affirmed she said it was for the other table of four. No apology. Then when she came back with the corrected bill, she said that if there was a problem with the charge, just "come back with the receipt and we will fix it." You must be outside of your mind if you think I am going to take my time to drive back to your establishment because you couldn't figure out how to fix your mistake. No. She needed to apologize for her error. So -- needless to say, left a bad taste. Pun intended. Good food but check your bill. read more

Went for a girl's night, and we weren't disappointed. We got the oysters, crab croquetas, wagyu empanadas, pulpo Teleferic, tuna tacos, burrata bowl, and Bruselas. Loved it all, other than the oysters, since they were lukewarm, maybe due to the gazpacho. Cocktails, we got the Appletini and Espresso Martini equivalent, and both were great.

I was honored to be a guest to my friend's yelp invite. We received complementary sangrias of choice, ham croquettes, and patatas bravas. We decided to add spanish albondigas as well. For sangrias, we chose the mocktail version of the barceloneta and it was perfection! Beautiful to look at and just the right level of sweetness. The ham croquettes were appetizing, stuffed and cheesy making them the perfect small bite. The patatas were a little salty but I still enjoyed them. It was a spanish twist to chili cheese fries. The albondigas were the best! I'm so glad we added this to our order. From the sauce that the meatballs laid on and the cheese they hand grated on top, I was very pleased by the combination of flavors. Definitely my favorite of the appetizers. Although every dish was small platas, we were satisfied between the 2 of us. The service was amazing as well. Our waitress returned multiple times to fill our water and check in on us. Definitely a beautiful place to come for brunch/lunch! read more

What an amazing experience! Located in beautiful Long Beach, this tapas style restaurant was a hit! From the welcoming staff to the knowledgeable waiters, everyone made it a great experience. We haven't even started talking about the food yet which was fantastic. We decided to just go with tapas menu since we were a small group and love to try new things. We had near half the tapas menu (ham croquetas, patatas bravas, pulpo telefèric, chicken kabobs, gambas al ajillo) and there wasn't a plate we didn't love. Come by the next time you're around and you'll have a great time! read more

The was the second teleferic barcelona I've visited and it did not disappoint. The PCH location was spacious and beautifully decorated with indoor and covered seatings. Parking is easy, as it's situated in the 2nd and PCH shopping center/ structure. During the week, the restaurant is pretty empty but they are busy on the weekends. Very chill vibe. Food wise, it's Spanish tapas so family style is highly recommended. My favorite tapas are tuna tacos and patatas bravas. Entree wise the paella is a must (I love the lobster paella but I'm sure other ones are as tasty)- great flavor and not too over powering. It does take time to cook so recommend placing your order early. This is one of my favorites restaurants! I hope they continue to do well, as the staff was so so nice with wonderful service. read more

Overall I really enjoyed my first experience at Telefèric Barcelona. From a taste perspective the food was 5 out of 5 stars and it was also presented very nicely. I especially liked the ham croquets and the dessert trio. My only gripe with the food is how small the portions are for the price that you have to pay. I also really enjoyed my Barcenoleta Sangria. It had the perfect level of sweetness to it and highly recommend it. The restaurant has a really nice calming ambience to it and the staff was very kind and helpful of any questions we had. Parking was also easy and you can park in the structure for 90 minutes for free which is nice, you will just need to pay if you go over the time limit. read more

Teleferic is located in @2ND&PCH in Long Beach. They serve authentic Spanish tapas, paellas, and innovative cocktails. Met my friend there for lunch and guess what they had the best lunch special - look at all we ate burrata salad, croquetas, paella, churros and orange mochi. The servers were nice and attentive. The restaurant interior design was bright and contemporary. I plan to return for dinner sometime and check out this innovative cocktails they speak of... and also flamenco night (I think it's once a month) Apparently a teleferico is an aerial cable car system for transporting passengers. Let's just say this Teleferic definitely transported my tastebuds to Spain. read more

100% would go again! We couldn't decide on the tomahawk and paella and we settled on the paella. It was delicious! Truthfully, the negra one was a tad bit salty for me but it was delicious. The oysters have a balsamic boba ball? On top and this was top tier! Jamon & toast were what you expect them to taste like. I love broccolini so we got that too and it was delicious. Personally, I wish it was slightly less cooked but again personal preference. Our server Andrea, was so nice! She seemed to have a lot going on and was in training, but she was definitely a speedy and nice. Ambiance is great! Decor is beautiful, lighting isn't great for food instagram but it's romantic, very clean and pretty. They allowed us to bring our dog on the patio (indoor area but tiled part of the restaurant) so that was nice. Thankfully there weren't that many people so my dog was just laying down eating bits of our jamon. All in all, 100% would come again. The restaurant is also located in a nice area to walk and grab drinks if you want. If you park at the Whole Foods parking structure, first 90 min is free so that's great too. read more

I had such a great time at Teleferic Barcelona. The food was honestly some of the best I've had, and the whole experience just stood out. One fun little thing I learned while I was there is that in Barcelona, many dishes are traditionally served with ham--which I had no idea about before! The more you know, right? On top of the food, the ambiance was amazing. The vibe, the people, the energy--everything just felt right. It's one of those places where you can relax, enjoy your meal, and just have a genuinely good time. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try! read more

Telefèric Barcelona in Long Beach delivers the kind of experience that reminds you why Spanish cuisine is built on balance, bold flavors, and a sense of celebration. From the first sip of their red sangria to the final bite of dessert, the meal unfolded with confidence and care. We began with a trio of appetizers that immediately set the tone. The tuna tacos were fresh and vibrant, each bite bright and delicate with perfectly balanced flavor. The croquetas arrived crisp on the outside and creamy inside, the kind of comforting bite that disappears quickly from the plate. Together they offered a beautiful introduction to the kitchen's style. Alongside them, the red sangria was refreshing and smooth, with just enough citrus and fruit to complement the food without overpowering it. Service elevated the experience. Our waitress was professional, attentive, and clearly knew the menu very well. Her guidance helped us choose dishes that worked perfectly together, and her recommendations felt genuine and thoughtful. For the main course, the grilled octopus stood out with its beautiful char and tender texture, seasoned simply so the natural flavor could shine. The Paella Negra was equally memorable, rich with the deep flavor of squid ink and seafood, each grain of rice absorbing the essence of the dish. It was bold, savory, and deeply satisfying. Dessert closed the evening on a warm, indulgent note. The churros arrived golden and crisp, perfect for dipping, while the torrija offered a softer, comforting sweetness that felt like the ideal Spanish finale to the meal. Telefèric Barcelona manages something special. The food is vibrant and refined, the service welcoming and knowledgeable, and the entire experience feels thoughtfully executed. From appetizers to dessert, it was simply excellent. Bravo !! read more

Beautiful restaurant located by the Marina in Long Beach. Located on the Marina part of Whole Foods shopping center. Get a reservation. We ordered the seasonal vegetable appetizer of mushroom and artichoke it was savory and delicious in a cream sauce Pan con tomate (the bread) was delicious traditional - Spanish bread with olive oil, tomatoes, and Corrizo butter. We ordered the paella with lobster and shrimp. It was super savory. We omitted the octopus. The spices were perfect. The rice was the Barcelona style and was crispy and delicious. Since four people were sharing this dish, we ordered the large portion. That size is perfect if you order an appetizer or salad before. The cuisine encourages you to share... Which is so much more fun. This dish was savory, large and delicious. . All in all a wonderful dinner, a nice quick trip to Barcelona for the regional cuisine. I recommend having your next dinner here. ! read more
