Restaurant Review: ANDRADES CAFE on the Peninsula. Wanna great tip on a delicious, affordable Father's Day meal in a fabulous location? My family moved to 63rd Place on the Peninsula in 1974 and we've watched the 62nd Place Cafe become a turnstile of failed businesses ever since it was called "Wanda's" back in the day. Well, I am happy to report that we FINALLY have the perfect storm of great food, reasonable pricing and the most picturesque post-meal stroll in the entire city of Long Beach. In a town overflowing with typical Mexican food, I just had the best fish tacos in my entire life (lightly fried white fish with tangy, homemade chipotle sauce---and I typically do not like chipotle, it's THAT good!) Moreover, Andrade's ever expanding menu is not limited to just south-of-the border. My wife had a delicious pesto panini sandwich and my well traveled and well heeled sisters went on and ON about the cheesecake flan desert, the presentation of which rivaled anything you might find at Le Opera or The Boathouse (see accompanying pic). But here's the kicker and why I will start eating here instead of "Ola" across the bay: I treated 5 people out to an early dinner and although only one of us ordered 1 glass of white wine, the total bill was only $125 ($150 with tip). That is a refreshingly affordable bill for an entire family, and then we strolled the most precious mile-long sandbar in the entire city to walk it all off. Drop by and meet Jorge and his wife in person, the nicest folks you will ever meet and they are dedicated to serving quality home-made food at an affordable price. They will even prepare a meal for you that's not even on the menu!! YES, you heard that right. Finally, I asked why there wasn't a line going around the block yet and the humble and gracious Jorge offered, "We're already popular with tourists who rent air-b&b's down here, but the locals are just starting to trust that we're here to stay and waiting for positive reviews from their neighbors before dipping their toe into the pool." Well, you just heard it from a long time resident. Check it out and enjoy this summer!! ---RWS read more

I visit here with my friends yesterday morning as we saw a cafe hidden in the Belmont Shore neighborhood, we finally decided to check it out and I'm glad we did. One of the hidden gems here in Long Beach is a small little sit down Mexican restaurant that serves amazing dishes and the BEST Cafe de Olla I have ever tasted. We ordered Ceviche and also had order Pepperoni and Hawaiian Pizza (I know, different palettes) but they were both REALLY good.... We got a chance to speak with owner Jorge, he was very welcoming and humble. He puts a great amount of effort and care into his cafe and his dishes. From today, it's been about 7 months that this location has opened. I would be coming back here and I would HIGHLY recommend this place when you are nearby! The staff was also amazing and attentive, a huge shout out to the team and a big thanks for welcoming me and my friends to this spot. read more

I was sad to see the old location gone, but boy oh boy did Long Beach score with this new restaurant! The people here were so kind and welcoming. The location and ambiance is also beautiful. Food and service is reviewed below. We came in on Mother's Day weekend and they were offering moms a complimentary glass of champagne. I thought that was such a nice touch. We arrived as a party of 3 while a larger party arrived a few moments after us. We needed a second to look through the menu before ordering but with that quick second, we ended up waiting quite some time as the server solely focused on the larger party. That was a bit disappointing for this thirsty and hungry mama but luckily we flagged someone else down and they took care of us immediately the whole rest of the time. The food is authentic Mexico flavors meaning it can be light or heavy, spicy or creamy, but fully satisfying. We did Benedicts, chilaquiles, and kids pancakes. All things we'd order again!! I can't wait to return for other items on their menu like their crema de elote or fideo soup!!! I highly recommend for casual dining but especially for a special occasion! Their indoor patio is gorgeous for photos and parties. They'll Also make your day feel even more special. read more

We stopped by this great little place on the LB Peninsula for coffee this morning. We had an amazing time conversing with the owner and some locals. The latte I ordered was delicious and perfectly crafted. They are open at 8am for coffee and/or breakfast. They stay open until 8pm, serving lunch and dinner. The menu has lots of options, both Mexican and American food. I have met both the husband and wife owners...super nice people!! The cafe has a really nice feel and is quite pleasant. There is indoor and patio seating. I look forward to coming back for a meal soon! We like to get our coffee and then walk the ocean side Boardwalk ‍ read more

Andrade's deserves all the stars and is one of my new favorite places in Long Beach. It's located on the peninsula, and tucked away down a side street right by the bay, so you have to know about it because you're not likely to stumble upon it. As soon as you step inside you're warmly greeted by the staff or one of the owners. It's a great place to stop in for any type of beverage, from their full-service coffee station, to the grab-and-go drink fridge, to a fun alcoholic drink. In addition to that, they are a full service restaurant serving breakfast and the lunch/dinner menu all day. For my first visit, we sat on the back patio for brunch. I had a chai tea and the birria ramen. The meat was exquisitely tender and the broth had so much flavor. On my second visit, we stopped in for an iced strawberry matcha while on a bike ride and took it just a few steps down the block to the water to enjoy. It had plenty of strawberry and was simply lovely. I look forward to returning because there's so many more items on the extensive menu that I want to try. read more

Andrade’s Cafe By The Bay - Dessert was so yummy!!!! - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Good food, great service. A friend introduced me to this place. She'd stumbled upon it on a walk down on the peninsula. Since it's on a side street, it doesn't have the best visibility to the casual observer. It has a nice ambiance--clean and modern but still homey and inviting, but the service is what really elevated it for me. Andrade himself was there, greeting customers and checking up on things. All the staff were very friendly, as were the patrons, a lot of whom seemed to be locals. I had the avocado toast, which came with 2 eggs your way on top, along with a side salad. I also got a hot latte, which was perfectly made. I'm looking forward to my next visit! read more

Such a lovely cafe by the beach! I kept it simple and ordered a croissant and a vanilla iced latte, and both were absolutely delicious. The croissant was perfectly flaky and the latte had just the right balance of sweetness and coffee. What really made the experience stand out though was the staff. They were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and so attentive to our large group of moms and toddlers. Anyone who's ever gone out with little kids knows it can be a lot, but they were patient, kind, and made us feel completely comfortable being there. Great food, great coffee, and genuinely great service. Such a positive experience. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Andrade’s Cafe By The Bay - Andrades Shrimp Ceviche was yummm! Will be back for more! Our whole group loved everything we got here! - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

I came across Andrades on a morning walk on the peninsula and came back with my husband. We were warmly welcomed by Jorge, who we later found out was the owner. The chips and salsa were on point, chips were warm and crispy and the salsa was fresh and addicting. We then prdered breakfast. Chilaquiles and Huevos Rancheros. To say the food was amazing would be an understatement. It was like sitting in my in-laws (from Mexico) kitchen.... fresh beans, flavorful rice, and the sauces and salsas were on point. I teased Jorfe that the Orange salsa should come with a warning... hot! Jorge and team we very attentive and great hosts. We cant wait to come back and bring the in-laws! read more

First time at Andrade's Cafe by the Bay and had a wonderful experience and absolutely wonderful food. I ordered chilaquiles in green sauce. Great presentation, warm caring ambience. The service was even better. The owner is so attentive and kind. The salsas are really good and loved them. I had cafe de olla that was perfect for the cold morning. Give this place a try! You will love it. read more

Five stars all around from greeting to service to food! The chips and salsa are so good. The salsa reminds me of one from a favorite restaurant in my childhood and I had yet to find that flavor profile again, until now! The white mocha latte was both beautiful and delicious. The omelette plates were perfect. And, that deep fried ice cream was so good that I ate half...okay two thirds...maybe three quarters. Don't judge me! Get some of it and you'll see! read more

Hidden Gem on the Peninsula! My husband and I biked down to the peninsula today to check out this new spot -- mostly because I had to try their birria ramen I'd been hearing about on social media. Even though the place was packed, we were seated right away. The menu is surprisingly extensive -- everything from Mexican favorites like chilaquiles and enchiladas to American breakfast, burgers, and hot dogs. However, to my disappointment, the birria ramen wasn't listed. I went for the Quesabirria lunch plate instead, which came with three tacos and a side of consomé for dipping. The tacos were messy (in the best way!) and absolutely delicious -- tender meat and a rich, flavorful broth. At one point I had to get up to ask for napkins, but honestly, it's their first day open and that's completely understandable. While I was up there, I asked about the birria ramen -- and surprise! They did have it! It just wasn't printed on the menu yet. We paid and were about to head out when the owner came over with a complimentary bowl of the birria ramen to try. That gesture alone made my day. The broth was light, comforting, and tasted just like something straight out of my Tía's kitchen. Absolutely fantastic. We also tried the hibiscus agua fresca, which I usually skip, but this one was so refreshing and not overly sweet -- I actually enjoyed it! I'll definitely be back soon to try their breakfast burrito. Overall: Wonderful service (especially for opening day!) Great food and big menu selection Beer and wine coming soon Parking can be tricky, so plan accordingly. A great addition to the peninsula -- can't wait to see this place thrive! read more

Stopped for lunch on a bike ride down the peninsula. Service was very attentive and the food was great. I had the smash burger- highly recommend. This is a great local spot. Will be back for coffee and a breakfast burrito! read more

Great place on the peninsula. I am not sure how long it has been there but we found it a few days ago and we went today for lunch. It was very busy and the server was for sure overwhelmed. The kitchen gout our order messed up twice but they made up for it with free flan and great service. I would say the best part with this place was the actual vibe it had inside and outside. Unfortunately the food wasn't the greatest. I will definitely come back and give them a second chance as they were very nice and gave us free flan. read more

This morning my family and I had a wonderful experience at Andrade's Café by the Bay in Long Beach. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly service that made us feel welcome. The café offers a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere, beautifully decorated with thoughtful details that create a charming and inviting ambiance. Every corner reflects elegance, warmth, and good taste. The menu features a great variety of authentic Mexican dishes, making it easy for everyone in our family to find something they truly enjoyed. The food was delicious, fresh, and prepared with care. If you're looking for a place where tranquility blends with elegance, excellent service, and authentic Mexican cuisine, Andrade's Café by the Bay is an outstanding choice. It was a memorable experience, and we look forward to returning soon. read more

I usually wait a bit before writing reviews to make sure the experience truly sticks with me -- but Andrade's Café by the Bay is absolutely worth the shout‑out! My partner and I were walking our dog along the Peninsula and decided to stop by after seeing the tempting photos on Yelp. It did not disappoint. Tucked away on 62nd Street, the café is sleek, modern, and unassuming -- a perfect addition to the coastal neighborhood. We live in Alamitos Beach (15 minutes away, LOL), and I'm honestly jealous that locals in the area have this gem right on their block. The space is spotless and thoughtfully laid out with three seating areas: a front patio, the main dining room, and a dog‑friendly back patio. We chose the back, which is covered but open to plenty of fresh air, with netted panels that keep bugs out. Super comfortable, especially with a pup in tow. Even though the menu leans Latin-inspired, we ordered the Hawaiian Burger because it looked incredible online. It came stacked with a juicy beef patty, a thick cut of spam, grilled pineapple and onions, lettuce, tomato, cheese, and thousand island dressing -- plus crispy fries. Everything was flavorful, balanced, and perfectly cooked. We also shared the chicharrones, which were rich, meaty, and fried beautifully. They came with tortillas, guacamole, and salsa, alongside complimentary chips and a salsa trio. The charred habanero salsa was a standout! They offer a full bar and coffee service -- we went with water and a red-eye this time. A huge highlight was meeting Jorge and Nancy Andrade, who I'm pretty sure are the owners. They were genuinely warm, attentive, and welcoming. They checked on us often, offered sauce recommendations, and even spoiled our dog with treats. Their kindness truly elevated the whole experience. The food was excellent, but the atmosphere and hospitality are what made this place unforgettable. We'll definitely be back. Such a wonderful neighborhood spot in Long Beach! read more

New favorite place! I'm a pain in the butt. A vegetarian that has onion sensitivity. Good luck! My friend is in town and wanted to try this cute place near my house and I thought I can always eat chips. I told the owner my situation and he designed a sandwich he said he makes for a lot of vegetarians off menu so I ordered it. Oh my god. It's so rare to find a good blend of flavors, textures, and complexity in vegetarian dishes at non vegetarian restaurants but it was soooooo good! And it was just chef designed. Take note, other restaurants you have the ingredients to make food dishes for those that don't eat critters. No excuses! But take heart, meat lovers. My non difficult and meat eating friend ordered a chili relleno burger and just loved it, as well! They took such amazing care of us, the kindness was the cherry on top of the delicious food and wonderful vibe. We will be back! read more

A Peninsula Treasure with Heart (and the best Pozole Verde in Long Beach!) If you haven't discovered Andrade's Cafe By The Bay yet, consider this your formal invitation to your new favorite spot. This isn't just a cafe; it's the kind of hidden gem that makes the Long Beach Peninsula feel like home. The Vibe: The space is beautiful, quaint, and impeccably clean, but the real soul of the place comes from the owners, Jorge and Nancy. They are such a warm, friendly couple who truly treat every guest like family. You can tell their staff follows that same "top-notch" lead--the service is always attentive and genuinely welcoming. The Food & Drink: The menu may not be extensive but there are a few absolute icons here: * The Cafe de Olla: For the coffee enthusiasts, this is a must-try. It's traditional, aromatic, and perfectly balanced--honestly, it's worth the trip alone just to sip this by the water. * The Pozole Verde: A total crowd favorite for a reason. It's vibrant, comforting, and easily some of the best I've had in the city. * Brunch with a Twist: They are famous for their brunch, and I love how much they actually listen to their customers. Whether it's a slight fusion or a specific tweak to a dish, they go the extra mile to make you a repeat customer. Pro-Tip: The location is unbeatable. After you've had your fill of delicious food and that incredible coffee, take your cup to-go and enjoy a peaceful walk along the bay. Bottom Line: Andrade's is a 5-star experience from the first "hello" to the last bite. Do yourself a favor and stop by--you'll be glad you did! We were so busy enjoying our meals, we didn't take any pics. I promise I'll post more on our next visit. read more

So glad to see this neighborhood restaurant has opened under new ownership, and our first breakfast here was fantastic! I had the crema de elote soup, which was not a traditional breakfast order, and can't say enough about the flavor (creamy with just the perfect kick, with corn, avocado and grilled poblano chilies on top) Absolutely incredible, like I may struggle to try anything else when I return! Hubby had the eggs, Benedict, which was also very good. Made better by the fantastic housemaid salsa. So happy to have them in the neighborhood and we will definitely become regulars! read more

I love how they do their chix, & that waffle she let me taste was WOW -so perfectly sweet. My bff ordered the birria tacos -another hit!! The owners were so sweet for my bday too. They came to the table, put a cute lil sombrero atop my head & sang Happy Birthday to me. The flan they brought to the table was thee best flan I've ever tasted. Soo delicious.

Super cute new restaurant that just opened on the Long Beach Peninsula! It was packed for their grand opening -- and I can absolutely see why. The coffee, food selection, service, and ambiance were all amazing! I love that they serve breakfast all day and have such a wide variety of dishes on the menu. I honestly had a hard time choosing because everything looked so good. I started with the Chicharrón appetizer, which did not disappoint -- the portion was bigger than expected and incredibly tasty! For my main dish, I ordered the Mojarra Frita, and it was absolutely delicious. The fish was perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and the portion size was huge!

Great drinks too and lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be back! read more

We stopped by on a Saturday afternoon after reading quite a number of good things from our local FB food page. And, Andrade's did not disappoint. First, location. This cafe is located in a quaint and less trafficked part of the peninsula, so the fact that this place is bringing attention to this side of town is great. Parking was easy, and the neighborhood is friendly, cute and super safe. Andrde's Cafe is beautifully designed and decorated, and you get a sense of a modern Quintana roo feel. Love it! As soon as we walked in, the owner greeted us and welcomed us in. Our waitress was Antonia, and she did a fantastic job at answering all our questions, making suggestions and attending to our needs. We ordered the ceviche with mango, chilaquiles verdes, and chille relleno. All of our dishes were delicious, well portioned, and left us wanting more. We will absolutely return to try more of their options. We absolutely recommend this place, and you should definitely check them out! read more

My husband and I went here for breakfast and loved it! It was a weekday morning so not crowded at all. The server was attentive without being overbearing. We ordered latte beverages that were beautiful as well as delicious - I've never seen a London Fog served in a clear glass, now the name makes sense! Our food was delicious as well. The chicken & waffles came with a slightly spicy syrup sauce as well as regular syrup if people wanted the option. The eggs Benedict is made with chipotle aioli rather than hollandaise, and I thought it worked really well! I loved the beans as well and the breakfast potatoes were nice and crispy. There have been a couple different restaurants at this location over the past decade, but I really hope this one stays as it is my favorite so far!! read more

Great location, food, service, and great people! The energy is amazing as well! Definitely will be going back soon.

This cute & delightful cafe is worthy of all 5 star reviews it has received & I'm sure will continue to receive. My friend & I visited Andrade's this morning & we were impressed the minute we drove up. The decor both outside & inside is colorful, cheerful & attractive with plenty of seating. The owners have managed to make the cafe both roomy and cozy. The server, Nancy, that cheerfully greeted us is also the owner along with her husband Jorge. She helped us choose our breakfast items which were the French Toast as well as the Avocado Toast along with the Mexican Coffee which were all delicious & the best we have ever tasted. We will absolutely be repeat customers & can't wait to return read more
