Went here for lunch on Grand Prix Friday. 04.17.2026 I was surprised how fast we were able to get seated! Greeted and seated. Chips and Salsa were served. It was busy because of the large crowds. We waited for our waiter to come back so we can order some drinks. Once he came back we ordered our drinks which we waited another good 15 minutes for him to return with our drinks. The time line was too long of a wait. He left again, waited another 15 minutes to take our food order. Lol. Ordered my shrimp cocktail along with other entrees. Our waiter was ghosting us every 15 minutes. Overall, the ambiance was busy. It is expected because of the grandprix event. This place needs to up their staffing when events like this is taking place. Food was good but service was dissapointing. read more

I would say 3.5 stars is right but our waiters definitely brought this up to a 4! My friend and I celebrated our joint birthdays here and we had a great lunch. Portions are HUGE here! Omg my friend's taco salad was an insane size hahaha. I got the enchiladas which were solid, nothing that really stood out. My friend got the mixed ceviche but they brought him only shrimp ceviche, when we pointed out the wrong order, they quickly took care of it. Then at the end we mentioned that it was both of our birthdays and they brought out 2 HUGE cupcakes!! I mean Ive never seen so much frosting in one place! Great view of the water, and they comp part of your parking so parking was just a few bucks when I left. We had a baby with us and they were super considering and a great kids' menu. Would come back here for a happy hour again! read more

This is somewhat a staples here in Shoreline Village. The very first time I've been was only by default. We were next door for happy hour which the wait time was extortionate and decided about this place. Fast forward many many years later and here we are. Shoreline village is a cute little waterfront that offers some dining options, loads of tourist traps with the shops and a just a cute overall little waterfront. Happy hour was happening and we didn't, well couldn't decided on where we wanted to go. Started off with looking at the menus at what places were offering them and then we ended up back here. Selling point, the nice waterfront seating that looks out to the marina. It was noted to check in at the front desk since we walked in from the back but was told to have a seat anywhere we like. Majority of everyone was on the patio enjoying the sun. We got a couple seating along the hi top looking out to the marina. Menus was brought out first but did notice chips and salsas were brought out as well. It did take a while for ours to arrive. Let me say, the salsa was nice with that little kick to each bite. And it was bottomless which is also a plus. You don't get that at most places nowadays. It did take a little while to order as it seemed like the waiter was taking everyone's orders both at the bar section and patio. We only wanted a drink and maybe some small bites. For the price, it was good. House margaritas on the rocks was 8.00. Pre mixed already but it was quite nice. Food wise, the taquitos (3) with guacamole and some chicken strips. Lol, totally not your mix with margaritas but it sounded good...lol... Bar food bites with our drink. Taquitos, they were a bit too hard. Had to take it apart to enjoy it. The beef was tasty at least and perfect with the salsas. Chicken strips, basic so you can't go wrong. Unless you can and it's a total mess on your part for ordering it. We did want another drink which took a very long time to come. Seemed like the waiter forgot as he was now making drinks behind the bar. After waiting and seeing other people get their drinks before us, I had to walk up to the counter to remind him again. It was nice along the patio seating but they did come to drop the curtains which the whole point was enjoying the sun and the view. Didn't ask if we wanted it drop or not but instead just did it. Had to asked them if they could raise it a little so we can still see out. The drinks were nice. Food was somewhat whatever for 6.00 an item, can't beat that. I believe there were about 6/7 items for bites. Overalls, drinks and the ambiance was nice. People watching was great as your literally along the boardwalk. Service, it was hectic during happy hours. Nice at the start when we walked in but hectic toward the end. I don't think I've ever had a meal here besides a quick stop for happy hour which has alway been good. Tip, make sure to validate as it's 2 hr free parking. We forgot and just thought it was automatic 2 hrs free which came up to 10.00 for parking when we left. That was just a little past the free 2 hrs. read more

The service was good, it was pretty empty but at first it seems like you're going to get good Mexican food with some good margaritas or cocktails. It was very plain flavor food. Even the guacamole has no lemon, spices, or salt. The chips were crunchy and good but had no salsa that went well with it. The resturant might need new recipes or a new chef. No cocktails and margaritas could be better read more

Came on LB grand prix weekend and it was surprisingly not too busy. No wait to be seated and food came out in a good amount of time. Our service was friendly and attentive. Guacamole was delicious I definitely recommend, as well as their shrimp tacos. Outdoor (patio) and indoor seating was available, and place looked clean. Perfect sport for a casual dinner or lunch for some good food! read more

Tequila Jacks is a lovely place to go for lunch or dinner. Just being located at Shoreline Village in Long Beach is a plus. Indoor or outdoor dining is great. The food is good and plentiful. I couldn't believe how much chicken was in my enchilada, tamale and taco. The ambiance is great and the customer service is great. There is plenty of parking available. Enjoy shopping at the specialty shops after your good meal. read more

Happy hour prices + view of the marina are fantastic. We've only gone during happy hour because we just love the outdoor patio & the prices. No wait at 5pm on a Thursday. Patio: covered on top with heaters. They pull down additional side covers along the patio when it's super windy, so sitting outside is still very comfortable no matter the weather. Inside: dim and moody lighting. Food: 4 fish tacos, chips/salsa (so fresh & crispy), taquitos, pulled pork sliders (skip), michelada and marg for $40. Service: good. Food comes out fast. Definitely recommend for casual fare with great views! read more

Went on a Saturday afternoon and there was no wait, with plenty of seating available both indoors and outdoors. The menu offers a wide variety of drinks and dishes. It leans heavily toward Mexican food but also includes some American options like burgers and buffalo wings. I ordered a combination plate, which comes with 2-3 items of your choice, rice and beans, and Mexican corn pudding. I chose the pork tamales and taquitos. The pork tamales were pretty good, but the taquitos were bland and I didn't end up finishing them. The sides were decent overall, and the Mexican corn pudding was my favorite part of the meal. We also got unlimited chips and dip, which was a nice bonus. For drinks, I ordered the "Scooby Snack," a cocktail made with rum, melon liqueur, pineapple juice, and whipped cream. It came in a huge cup and was a great value for the price. It tasted good too. Overall, it's a solid spot for food and drinks, and they even offer happy hour, which makes it worth checking out. read more

I'm sorry to give a poor review because tequila Jack's has often been a nice standby when I am in Long Beach. The location is excellent as it is right on Shoreline Drive in the middle of the village. You can sit outside and have a view of the water, which is always delightful. I believe most people come here because of the location and not necessarily the food and drinks. But I make it a habit to go on Tuesdays because they have an excellent deal on taco Tuesdays. Tacos are only $1.50, an excellent deal. In the past, I have had delicious vegetarian tacos. I was a little disappointed when I saw that those were no longer on the menu. I ordered the fish tacos, and I must say I was disappointed. The quality seemed to be much worse than what I remembered in the past. You might be thinking that should be expected for the price and you might be right. The service was very poor. I could never find my server and after an extended period of trying to catch anyone's eye, I chose to walk up to the hostess and ask them to send over my server. In fairness to them, it was an extremely busy evening . It was taco Tuesday after all. But I do not think I will be returning anytime soon after my experience yesterday. read more

Food is Deliciously tasty and Fresh, it comes to your table Hot !! We've been coming here since it first opened !! The drinks are made to perfection !! I love it's right next to the water . You can sit inside or outside. The menu has a Great Selection . If you have a larger party like 8 or more. I would call ahead of time and make a Reservation. That way everyone can sit in the same area. read more

I haven't ever been to the area. So I checked out reviews for the restaurants. I narrowed it down to the fancy seafood restaurant, Yard House or TJ's. Walking by Tequila Jack's, the outdoor space looked great and the menu pricing wasn't bad either. The service was great. Our server was attentive without being overwhelming. Drinks & chips stayed full. Wait time for our entrees weren't bad either. The food tasted amazing! Based on reviews I thought it could be hit or miss. But we all enjoyed our meals. Husband got the carnitas plate. He really liked it. MIL got the chili verde. She commented on the house made tortillas several times. I got the 2 enchilada plate - Rojo cheese & verde chicken. Both tasted so good! One kid got the asada burrito and actually at 2/3rds of it. The other kid got to kids chicken tenders plate. It was a lot of food: 2-3 chicken strips, fries, 2 pieces of cantaloupe, and a small churro. The chips were delicious! The salsa had. Ore of a kick than I thought it would going off of looks. The guac is delicious was well. The added veg made it super fresh. It was all very good. I would definitely go back. read more

I thought my wallet was gone forever after Taco Tuesday three weeks ago--until Erica, the manager, mailed me an actual letter letting me know they had it. HUGE shout-out to her and the honest busser who turned it in! And while you're there, don't miss their incredible $1.50 tacos from 3 p.m. to close--it's unheard of these days! Plus, happy hour has some amazing margaritas. Tequila Jack's is now my go-to spot for the food, the vibe, and the integrity! read more

Yesterday around 1pm I was having a meal with a friend, and a man who appeared to be a manager was walking around making sure people were enjoying themselves, perfect I watched the same guy grab an unused Guacamole FROM the dishwashers bucket as he was walking around, and walked it back to the kitchen to be reused. After seeing that I immediately became unsure about the quality of the food I was eating and I don't know if I could ever go back that's gross. read more

The ambiance was good but the service was bad. I had the Strawberry Margarita which I felt was not made without the heart. We were not hungry then so I ordered the beef quesadilla which was good cost about $18.00 plus's 2 drinks and had a cupcake for my friend's birthday was nice but the bill total was $88.25. That is too pricey . If you don't mind over spending but got so disappointed in the service. I do not recommend this place of business. Happy New Year! Kindness forward one person at a time. read more

My sis was in town on business so I thought we'd stop in here across from her hotel for a late night taco run and drinks. We were seated fairly quickly and was served by Jose. He made sure to make us feel comfortable and he was very helpful in accommodating us with our order. For a Tuesday night, the place had a good amount of guests. The mood inside was very cozy and moody with the low lighting and listening to the buzz of people enjoying their night out. It was such a good place to stop especially with the amount of options Long Beach has to offer, this was the perfect choice. I dont find myself in Long Beach much but would definitely come back here again. Thank u Tequila Jack! read more

Service was really good. Food was horrible. Banana margarita was good. Would come for drinks again no food.

Never got the chance to eat. They allowed some woman with a dog to come in. The dock barked so loudly, we couldn't even carry on a conversation. They allowed the dog to stay, we decided to leave. read more

The service was good. Had to look for the waiter for a few times. The mango margarita was just okay. After a few minutes the drink was too watery. The restaurant was busy and definitely can accommodate large parties. The restaurant does validate. After your meal you can walk around and admire the view. read more

I like this place, very nice energy, it gets busy everyday, good food but the service needs improving becoz other serves doesn't look to happy to be there, we order drinks and she didn't bring all of the drinks at once and we have to wait for water until our food arrives, over all I would rate this place 7 out of 10. Come check it out ok. read more

Perfect location, but not that impressive. Stopped by for a quick happy hour with a friend. Although it was packed and service was good, it was just ok! Definitely not a place I would run back too. Happy hour menu is decent pricing. Portions are small, hence the price point to match. We didn't order drinks, however, that seems to be the appeal of this place. Average rating in line with average food quality and taste. read more

We popped in here to take advantage of their happy hour so that's what this review is about. The $8HH margaritas were super delicious, the perfect balance of sweet and tart. We got a few small plates, and all were nicely portioned even being on HH. We couldn't resist the guacamole (not on HH) and it was very good. Server was prompt and kept us in all the chips we needed. Also lovely view if sitting outside. read more

Great spot. Met a group of 10 for lunch on a week day. Immediately sat. Good service, good food, fair prices. Plenty of parking. Reservations accepted but not required. Ok for kids. Good for groups. Nice view. read more

Great restaurant with patio seating with a view of sunset and plenty of inside seating with AC. As soon as I walked in I was greeted and while my entire party was not quite there they sat us down. Our amazing waiter Bryce was very attentive and is the reason our time at the restaurant was so amazing. As people arrived he brought water, checked in about drinks and made sure we had plenty of chips and salsa. What I appreciated is his positivity stayed consistent through our entire dinner. He made us feel like family. I ordered the fajitas and while the portion was large I would say they're okay. The steak lacked flavor and seemed to be thin. However, you get a lot of food and it's fair to say it's a very filling good meal, but not amazing. Everyone in my group seemed to enjoy their food, but I think what set the restaurant apart is their customer service. Accommodating us to sit early, to our amazing waiter Bryce who is the best waiter I have ever had. When it came time to pay, Bryce was accommodating as we figured out how to divide up the bill. He made our transaction seamlessly. If you're looking for a spot for a large group who provided excellent customer service then this is your spot. read more

Food is always so good, drinks are amazing and so big! Right by the dock so the view is beautiful at sunset. Our server was great, always a pleasure coming. We came on a Sunday at around 4, parking took about 10 minutes. They quoted us an hour wait, there's so many gift shops, stores, restaurants, dessert shops, and an arcade to pass time. They also have tv's and a bar. read more

This restaurant barely deserves two stars but I am being generous. The dining area is pretty cool and has a lot of awesome decor and the atmosphere is excellent. I thought the service was going to be excellent when we were greeted by our waiter that was not the case it rapidly went down hill and ruined the dining experience I believe that our waiter was overwhelmed with to many tables and was all over the place we had to await about 40 minutes for fresh guacamole in 20 to 30 minutes for more drinks, our table got filled up with empty drink cups and dishes, and it was not cleared until the end of our meal. The food there is subpar not the best I've had way better Mexican food from other establishments. If you visit this restaurant, I hope your experience is better than mine. I will probably not be going back, but you never know I like to give places a second chance so they could redeem themselves. read more

I can't eat gluten, and typically Mexican is safe if I stay away from flour tortillas. Today, I asked if a salad could include carne asada instead of their choices of shrimp and chicken. They said No. Another salad looked good, but it is made with a flour tortilla, no other options. I wanted a salad with red meat. Oh well. Should've kept our reservation at Yard House. At least Yard House is concerned with people's dietary restrictions/allergies. Our waiter was cool. read more

Their lunch specials are amazing! I got the Baja fish tacos and it came with rice and beans. Filled me up and the food was tasty. Good service. Tortilla chip and salsa provided with no charge. The view out to the pier is amazing on a sunny day. Parking is validated but you still have to pay parking fee, just less than when it's not validated. Happy hour starts at 3 pm. Our server Jose was very nice and accommodating. Great experience and the margaritas were very refreshing. read more

This place is cool. It's located right by the water with a bunch of other restaurants and close to shopping so it's a vibe. They had great music and it's a lovely atmosphere. The aesthetics were amazing and a beauty to admire. Great job on the decor. We showed up around 11 pm so were able to dine in the restaurant but got to experience the happy hour at the bar. We ordered the coronaritas, chimichangas, taquitos, and wings. They were ALL amazing! The ingredients were fresh and good quality. The margaritas?!!! Seriously the best I've EVER had. I would go there just to sip them and the best news is that they're only $8 during happy hour (margarita only). They have outdoor seating so you can also enjoy the view of the water if that's what you prefer. I rated this a 4 because the service could improve just a bit. I know it was late and employees are probably ready to go home and I can see that they were ready to head out. The server was okay though, no rude and checked in on us, I just didn't get a friendly vibe from her. The other reason I gave it a 4 star is because the parking signs are misleading. They say $2 for two hours. We were the there about an hour and a half. When we went to leave he says it's $10.40!!!!!!! When we asked about the $2 he said it's with validation?!! That NOT on the sign and if it was we missed it. Given the hundreds of cars that park there each day, restaurant should have a sign about it so that customers know to get it validated. Most people won't drive back and walk back in there so the parking is a scam. Overall, highly recommend for good food, good music, and great decor. Perfect for pics. read more

So yummy! You can tell that whoever owns this restaurant has a love for food and quality. Everything we ordered was so good! The chicken wing as an appetizer was perfectly cooked and not too spicy. Highly recommend. I got the shrimp enchiladas with a green sauce, so so good! We sat outside and the view of the boats was so nice. The service from the moment you walk in is so friendly and inviting. Highly recommend, can't wait to comeback. *** special shout out to Elias our server who went above and beyond, never let a drink cup go empty. The husband is so picky about that. read more
