This place is a great neighborhood Mexican food joint. The highlight for us is their handmade corn tortillas and the stellar tacos that are created as a result. On Fridays and Saturdays, they are open 24/7 and across the street from your stay! We always order the chile relleno burrito and a couple of chicken tacos. For the health conscious: They have a large selection of fresh juices and smoothies they prepare fresh daily.

A mile away, or a short bus ride, you can find the Long Beach Beer lab. Unpretentious handcrafted beers and an amazing food menu to match. They specialize, not only in beer, but in bread! We love all of their pizzas, beers and especially the Moroccan donuts. Don't miss one of the staples of the Long Beach Craft Beer scene!
