This is an underrated neighborhood restaurant that everyone should know about! The owners and staff provide excellent service and care about their food. You don't find that in many places these days but you do here! The STAR of the show was the Pescado Sarandeado. 10/5 AMAZING FISH PLATE! It's a MUST TRY. Pozole Verde was also a hit. Honorable mentions were the beef street tacos and Mango Aquachiles. Though undercooked, we took them home and had them the next day. Delish. Must give this place a try if you haven't already. 10/10 Highly Recommend read more

What a rare find in North Long Beach! Amazing food, a staff that could teach the master class in service, and did I mention the delicious food!?

My husband and I wanted to find a place to eat, and we came across this restaurant, I am glad we did! We were greeted with smiles and it made us feel good, the service was amazing the people here are kind and attentive. The restaurant is clean and spacious. The food was delicious, my husband tried the fish and shrimp tacos, (The Fish tacos were Fried Tilapia, my husband is not a fan of Tilapia. However he said that it doesn't take away from the goodness of the tacos) and the Shrimp Ceviche was so good! Would definitely recommend this place if you are in the area. read more

My partner visited a couple of weeks ago and couldn't stop raving about the food, so he brought me in to try it for myself this Sunday. From the moment we walked in, we felt so genuinely welcomed. The entire staff was kind, attentive, and made us feel right at home. I can't quite explain it, but there was just such a warm, welcoming feeling the whole time we were there. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, like you're enjoying a home cooked meal with family. Parking was a breeze, and the food was absolutely delicious. I had the steak breakfast, and my partner decided to try the chicken pozole this time. On his first visit, he had the pork pozole and loved it, so he knew we had to come back. I have to say, that steak was cooked to perfection! You can truly feel the love and care that goes into this restaurant. We can't wait to come back with our family and friends. Villalobos Kitchen has definitely become one of our new favorite spots and will be a regular stop for us. Highly recommend! read more

We had the Pozole Verde and the Chile Relleno Plate which included a shrimp taco. Both were excellent. Always eat local and support small businesses in my community. The shrimp taco, and the flavors were mild, not overpowering. Also, I tried the ribs on takeout. They were falling off the bone. But I wish they could have used more seasoning. The owners are very kind service is always good. read more

They gave me all the sides , radishes, cabbage,cilantro, onion, lime and a green chili sauce maybe you guys can add a spicier red chili sauce on a little container? Overall it was good! read more

We came in on a Sunday morning, and were the first customers. We had a kind woman seat us, and chatted a bit with her in "Spanglish". Wifey ordered a ceviche, which was huge and delicious! Very well seasoned and balanced. I ordered the chile relleno which was equally as good. The owner came over and was very genial. He cares a lot about his restaurant and was fun to talk to. Definitely going back. read more

My wife and I were going to be in the area, so I searched Yelp for a good place to eat. After seeing the excellent ratings, we decided to give it a try, and it absolutely lived up to the reviews. It may look like a small restaurant from the outside, but don't let that fool you. From the moment we were seated, the service was warm and welcoming. We were promptly served complimentary chips and salsa along with our drinks. I ordered the ribeye steak with mixed vegetables and a kale salad, while my wife chose the chicken enchiladas with beans, rice, and a kale salad. The food arrived quickly, and everything was excellent. The ribeye was flavorful, cooked perfectly, and incredibly tender. The mixed vegetables--a combination of zucchini, broccoli, and asparagus topped with Parmesan--were delicious, and the kale salad was fresh and surprisingly tasty. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her enchiladas as well. Overall, we both had a fantastic meal and a great experience without breaking the bank. They also have daily specials posted on the board when you walk in, so be sure to keep an eye out for those. The staff we encountered throughout our visit were genuinely friendly and attentive. We're already trying to figure out when we can come back. If you're in the area and looking for a great meal at a reasonable price, give this place a shot--you won't be disappointed. read more

What a great experience today. Found this place through Yelp , looking for an authentic mexican restaurant. It is a smaller restaurant (family owned) and though the parking is a bit tough to find, it is down the side narrow alley next to the establishment with plenty of parking in the back for me and my family of 9. This place exceeded our expectations and is definitely a don't judge a book by its cover place. It was amazing! Clearly 5 stars here is because of the food. But the nice lady, service, and great dining experience was the best. It is a place you want to spend your money. The people were so kind and genuine. It was my brother Jacobs birthday and they helped with the cake and the server brought whole kitchen out to sing with us f The server was very nice and I am really happy my family and I stopped by. Nothing but best wishes for this establishment! read more

If you're looking for great Mexican food, with exceptional service this is the place. This is a hidden treasure.

Hidden Gem -- Drive Slow or You May Miss It! Let me start by saying that the moment you walk through the doors, the aroma of a home-cooked meal hits you--instantly reminding you of your abuelita's kitchen. The nostalgia is real. The menu offers so many great choices that it's hard to decide what to order. The chips arrived fresh and warm, and the salsa was hands down one of the best table salsas I've ever had--just like homemade. I ordered the Green Pozole, while my better half chose the Aguachiles. The Green Pozole was packed with flavor and had the perfect balance of chicken and hominy. It came with all the traditional fixings and, to my surprise, included three incredibly delicious potato tacos on the side. The Aguachiles were exceptionally fresh, with the perfect ratio of cucumber, onion, and shrimp. Each shrimp was cleaned, deveined, and butterflied, showing the care and attention to detail that goes into every dish. The chile sauce was outstanding and brought everything together beautifully. We couldn't leave without dessert, so we ordered it to go. The flan was something special--creamy, delicate, topped with homemade caramel sauce, and accented with fresh mango. It was the perfect ending to an amazing meal. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delicious. You can tell the owners and staff genuinely care about quality and the dining experience. We'll definitely be back! read more

I have eaten here twice. Once inside with my father, we had mango aguachile and fish ceviche. The owners were very kind to us, my dad made small talk about their business and how long they have been here. Inside was very clean, I love their decor they have inside. Last Saturday, I ordered through DoorDash, food was amazing just like the first time. My boyfriend picked up the food and said the woman in the front was very kind and had the food ready with in 15mins. I will be coming back. read more

The ceviche with mango and avocado.... Wow just wow. So good. And the service. Super friendly family owned and operated.

Villalobos Kitchen is seriously so good. I'm pregnant, and my baby constantly craves their shrimp tacos with kale slaw. They are absolutely delicious. I also tried the birria, and it had so much flavor. I've tried almost everything on the menu, and honestly, everything has been amazing. Every dish tastes fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The staff is also one of the best parts. Everyone is so friendly and always says hi every time I walk in, which makes the whole experience feel extra welcoming. It's one of those places you keep coming back to because the food is consistently great and the people are too. No surprise they have 5-star reviews. Highly recommend. read more

Decided to pick a random spot I haven't tried. Great service. Wide variety of options. I ordered the augachile. I'll love some really spicy augachile but it was mild, But very good. Nice small, quiet restaurant. Only thing they can possibly improve on, is the Jamaica. I love some good Jamaica, but this one didn't hit. It's ok though. I would definitely return!!!! read more

We visited this hidden gem in the neighborhood today after our friends invited us for lunch. Parking was easy, with plenty of spaces available behind the restaurant. As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted by a sweet couple--who we later learned were the owners. The woman kindly seated us and took our drink orders. I went with the Sandía (watermelon) agua fresca, which was perfectly prepared and just the right amount of sweet. For our meals, my wife ordered the chilaquiles with steak and eggs, while I had the enchiladas rojas with chicken. The food arrived hot, fresh, and in a timely manner. Every bite was bursting with authentic flavors, clearly crafted with patience and love. The establishment was also very clean. Villalobos Kitchen has definitely earned our business--we'll be back! We highly recommend this restaurant. read more
