Of course I expected it to be busy since I went with my family (a large party of 17) on Cinco de Mayo. The scenery was beautiful! The restaurant was crowded, but the employees did very well and worked hard. Our wait time was about an hour and fourth five minutes, but we waited and socialized while we had drinks. The food was okay, I wasn't really hungry by the time dinner came; I did enjoy myself and would definitely come back. I didn't catch our server's name; but he was so kind and made sure that we were taken care of. read more

They have cheap margaritas which I always love, but their happy hour food just isn't that great and they portions are somewhat small. Service is pretty good here, except when it's busy, don't count on your waiter coming back if you've seen her in less than 20 minutes read more

We went her on my bday this past Friday. Fantastic happy hour specials and seriously one of the best blended mango margaritas I've had. They brought me a bday dessert and that was a sweet touch. Nice staff too. read more

From start to finish and then some, the absolute worst dining experience I've ever had. Seated quickly which was nice, but it took way to long to get a high chair for my two year old. I had to ask a random food runner about 5 minutes after we were seated to get one. Then as our server got to our table we were rudely asked what we wanted to drink and what appetizers we wanted. We didn't want an appetizer but ordered our drinks, soda for my fiancé and a Modelo for me. Everything is fine at this point till drinks get delivered and my beer had been served in a glass that clearly had tajin still on it from a previous drink. Probably a michelada. So my beer was served in a dirty glass. When the server finally came back over after about 10 minutes of walking by and ignoring our table I informed her my glass was dirty and I would really appreciate a a clean glass and a new beer. She simply couldn't understand the problem. So I said there was old tajin from a previous drink and the light bulb finally went off. (I know it's not her fault since she doesn't clean the glasses) a few moments later the "new" beer shows up and she takes our order. A salad for my fiancé, chicken soft tacos for me and some chicken fingers for the kiddo. Oh, come to find out they're out of chicken fingers at 1130 on a Sunday? Ok that makes sense. Let's just chalk that up to covid. No big deal. So our server leaves and I go to take a sip of a freshly poured Modelo. Wrong. Flat, soapy and absolutely disgusting. Clearly my drink was poured from the previous tainted beer glass and the new glass wasn't rinsed out properly. One sip and spit back in. The food comes out and it was underwhelming at best. 15 bucks for 2 street tacos with some mediocre rice and most likely canned black beans, an insanely overdressed salad and obviously no chicken fingers. The food was unforgettable for the most part. The problem is my PREGNANT fiancé has been sick all day because of it. Our server ignored us and walked right by our table about 5 times before I had to call for her to get our check. (Which still had the soapy contaminated beer on it.) That got taken off but the fact that I even had to say something about it is astounding. I am at the point where, if my 2 year old daughter and I get sick too, I'm going to contact a lawyer for the absolute gross negligence of this place. DO NOT GO HERE AND DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! read more

love it here the servers were nice! and their michelada was so bomb i highly recommend!

For a first time visitor I had an amazing time at Tequila Jacks! I order a combination plate with a cheese enchilada and chicken tamale with double rice. My boyfriend had the shrimp burrito with rice and refried beans. The food was fresh and amazing! We ordered a happy hour margarita and it was good and strong. My boyfriend had to order us another one but we both could not finish them. We will definitely be back! read more

I wanted to share my unpleasant experience visiting Tequila Jack's restaurant in Long Beach. We had out of town guests visiting us for the holiday; searching for a restaurant, my wife recommended we go to the Tequila Jack's in Long Beach. She bragged about Tequila Jack's restaurant, about its nice setting and her previous pleasant visits. When we got there our guests were very impressed with the restaurants beautifully setting. Problem we encountered was when we were trying to order the food. My guest ordered the famous Fajita dinner plate. He asked the waitress to hold the onion in the plate since he was allergic to the onions. To our surprise the waitress informed us that the vegetable mixed in the fajita was pre-mixed and the cook would not make an exception to accommodate the request. She said my guest was to get the Fajita dish with the onions and that there will be no exceptions. Since when does the cook in the kitchen make the decision for the customers? Why would any one go to a fancy restaurant if you can't ask the kitchen to hold the onion? A simple request that even a fast food restaurant would honor for their customer's. We shall never return to this snobbish establishment. I suggest you do the same. read more

TJ's: My go to Taco Tuesday spot for about 6 months now. It's nitty, it's gritty, and sometimes the crowds a little ghetto. They have $5 margaritas in SCHOONERS( basically a jumbo glass) and plot twist. Are you ready?..... AMAZING chicken strips! The girls here really take care of you and I appreciate that especially on Tuesday's when this place is nuts, I'm talking upwards of two hours for a table. I usually opt out of putting my name down and go to straight to the bar area to scout for open tables. Anyways tacos are good, service is better. Ask for Divine or Sadie! read more

Good food , good service and cold beer ... need I say more ???? Ok the refried beans were like my old school grandmas beans just awesome like dam is my dead grandma making that stuff whaaaaaaat!!! The ahi tacos were fishy greatness and This place had a party vibe like it was the 70s and bell bottoms were the style!! Right on the wharf where it looked like every boat was a party boat and just a overall good time. The black beans were tasty and my server was pasty she really was lol but would I come back hell yeah I would I wanted to try like 20 things on that menu read more

I took my bestie, my godson and his bestie to Shoreline Village for dinner and the Haunted House event. I hadn't been to the restaurant in years was very pleased (and surprised) by the look, feel, energetic atmosphere, terrific food, and the best margarita I've in a long time. Vanessa, our server was gracious and very attentive to the boys, making them feel special. She gave us moms, the time and space to talk, chill out on the beautiful patio while enjoying our drinks, meals, and the Mexican Molten Chocolate Cake - while boys hunted Pokémon. It was a lovely evening and we will be back soon with our husbands, kids and families. Well done Tequila Jack's! read more

Came in on a Saturday and the place was packed. They seem to have it together cus we only waited for outside seating for twenty minutes. The outside seating has a great view of the pier and they have a huge menu-with VEGETARIAN OPTIONS & our server, Cierra was awesome! They have a "you pick two" entree for $13.50 or "you pick three" for $15.50 and it is HUGE PORTIONS. The veggie tacos and enchiladas are a must try! Their house margarita is also pretty strong. This would be a cool place for date night! read more

My boyfriend and I had a hard time deciding between Yard House (my pick) and Tequila Jack's (his pick) so we decided he'd get a salad at Yard House while I ordered a main entree and then we'd go to Tequila Jack's for his main entree and I'd get dessert there. Yard House was mediocre when we went next door to Tequila Jack's I wish I would've listened to him the entire time! Literally got there went straight to seating by such a nice host and then met the best waiter we've ever had in our life before! Bryce was such a kind man, super attentive, and overall outstanding he made our date night a thousand times better he was completely extraordinary going above and beyond! The churro dessert I got was also great with such a cute presentation! The ambience in there was also really great, Bryce if you're reading this you were great and definitely deserve a raise! read more

So today I realized that there should be an extra star if the service was unmatched by co-workers on yelp. Came in today for some nice chimichangas and margaritas, we were sat so quickly and our server Zaira was even quicker to the table to take our drink and appetizer order. The margarita was brought out promptly and were the chimis! Zaira made my previously average meals at Tequila Jacks a part of the past. I cannot wait till I'm back for chimis and margaritas with our fantastic waitress Zaira! read more

Slow service, food we ordered subpar. How is this #3 in this area..... smh .... This place tops the worst ceviche I've ever had.

Nope! Don't do it! Don't take more than four people there. They don't accommodate you outside unless you want to sit under the stairs for people to walk down and sprinkle dirt on your food. The waitress was nice so I tipped well. But the managers were vengeful. How can 4 different credit cards be rejected? I have stellar credit and elite credit cards. They got mad and sabotaged perfectly good credit cards because I publicly asked for a bigger table for 5 people and didn't want to sit under the stairs. They played me. Never going back and tell everyone to go next door to the Yardhouse. Their food is better and accommodate larger parties at their outdoor patio tables with no problems. Must be a $$$$ washing front paying employees that are able to treat people badly. Definitely can't sustain a legit business like that. Check out the other reviews that are hidden. Its not just me. read more

Sunday during football game and even w/ a complete wall of TVs, it wasn't hard to find a seat at the bar. Hmm, that should have been my first clue. Service was sub-par, hard to get attention, no follow up. Fiesta salad lacked flavor. But the real kicker.. the salsa. You have to judge a 'Mexican' place based on the salsa. Tasted like canned tomato sauce thinned out with some hot sauce, tinny, acid, nothing. Yuk. Even throwing that on the salad didn't help. So I tried ranch. Guess what, you order a salad and the dressing cost $1.50. Still didn't help the salad. Do yourself a favor and go next door to Yard House, I think you will thank yourself later. read more

I ate here with some coworkers yesterday and wasn't very impressed. We had called a week prior wanting to make a reservation because we had 7 people having an early dinner with us and they informed me that they did not take reservations but because we were coming on a Monday before 4:00 they insured me that there wouldn't be a wait. Monday comes and we go to put our name in and the hostess told us that it was going to be an hour wait ! We were pretty shocked but decided to wait. Luckily we did wait because we only ended up waiting 20 min but the hostess was not very pleasant when we got seated we were seated at 2 separate tables because they said they can only sit 6 people at 1 table and we had 7. Overall the food was pretty good but to get our drink order and food order in took a long time. read more

Food wasn't tasty but Don't get me wrong, the environment and music was ok but just not the service.

Tequila Jack's - Friday afternoon @Tequila Jacks! Hef on the left Tokyo Tea on the right - Bars Near Me - Long Beach, California

Nice restaurant by the sea. This place is supposed to have great  mexican food but, as any other resturant, it is americanized. They have a  very nice view of the sea outdoors on their patio area. However, I believe the food here is way overpriced. During Happy Hour alone my plate was over $10 and all it was , was some beans, rice an 2 hard shell tacos. Oh, right, and a side of water. THeir guacamole is very good thod, will definitely compliment it and their house salsa as well. The staff was friendly and we had no problems with them at all.  WOuld I return? Probably not a place I'd hurry back to but yea, sure, sometime. Go check them out for yourselves and then follow our travel vlogs on instagram @thehungrynomadz read more

I really had a good time here! The portions are HUGE and our waitress was super nice. I had an appetizer sampler with Babyback ribs, chicken wings, potato skins, and quesadillas. Everything was decent. Our friends had margaritas and sangrias and they were very boozy! Parking is $2 with validation, and the $2 per 20 mins afterwards. I didn't expect much from a place located on the pier, but I was pleasantly surprised. I will be back! read more

I will NEVER come here again. The host said the wait would be 1 hour and 30 minutes, we waited and time went by we told the host we've waited for an hour and 30 min. We asked asked them both how much longer one girl was very rude and had a attitude and couldn't even look up at us. Her words were "don't worry just wait near by." And telling other people who were just arriving that the wait would be an hour to an hour and a half. I advise you tequila jacks manager whoever you are to find host who know how to serve others and know what they're doing because you are just going to lose out on more customer due to these dumb broads. read more

Today I explore my city of Long Beach. I decided to drive down towards downtown Long Beach. I came across Tequila Jack restaurant at Shoreline Village. My first impression of Tequila Jack was a good one. The exterior was kept very clean. It was crowded for a Friday night. The wait time was long but I could tell I was in for a treat. The people who were waiting pior to my arrival, appear to be happy and eagernessly excited. I didn't hear anybody complaining of the wait time. While you wait, you can go to the full stock bar and order yourself a drink.Time must have flown by as it was my time to be seated. My waitress was awesome. My food came out in a timely manner, warm and ready to eat. The food was so delicious that I took my time to eat it. Tequila Jack is an awesome place for a date, for a group or just flying solo for the day. I will recommend this place to my friends and family. read more

Okay let's move past the touristy name and cut to the salsa. It's good. Real good. Some of the best I've ever had outside of a hole-in-the-wall taco joint. The standard salsa is a rojo salsa with a balance of heat, garlic and onion. Very good on the chips, which are a different kind of crunchy. They're crisp but they disintegrate in your mouth without butchering the roof of your mouth. But... if you wanna take it up a notch ask for the hot salsa. Salsa Arbol. My. God. Deliciously hot. And makes everything better. The margarita was good too. And plentiful. Tub o Rita. read more

Good food and prices, drinks as well. Only caveat is that going on a Tuesday means its an hour wait atleast to get inside and sitting down. Do not come here already hungry on a tuesday, you may starve to death waiting lmao read more

Margaritas was good and I love the corn cake. Good food but more into the drinks. Nice area and parking was cheap.

Huge fan of this place. Best taco Tuesday spot but will come here any night. cheers to the best margaritas!

I've been coming here for Taco Tuesdays for about 3 years now. I used to love tequila jacks but after trying just about every taco joint in long beach i realize what i was missing. First of all, if you come on Tuesdays you WILL WAIT for a table for more than an hour and that's for two people. Depending on group size it could be worse. the margaritas are $5.50 and really strong and that's saying a lot because I can drink!! and that my friends would be the only reason to go to tequila jacks... the tacos are $1.25 on Tuesday (regular $4!) tacos/food is flavorless, you can get better tacos at taco bell. these cant even be called street tacos, they are whack. When you're drunk you just don't care, I guess. Service has it's good and bad. They are so packed that they don't have time to refill drinks and you often wait even longer after waiting to be seated. I will say servers are always really nice and seem to be in a great mood despite how seriously busy they are. one of the main reason I really don't like coming here are the RULES!!!!!!!!! if you order off the taco Tuesday menu, you can't take any of the food home! what a joke. the table side guac or guacamole PERIOD is not available in the cantina, um really? it can't be that hard to charge me for an avocado! read more

The best Taco Tuesday in the South bay. Great food great service great views and great atmosphere.

Great friendly staff. However, food is probably one of the worst I've had in a while. Tasteless $16 enchiladas and tacos. It felt like a tourist trap with overpriced low quality food. You better off having Taco Bell for a lot less! read more
