Very good food! Fresh, affordable, clean, and great service. We came here for a quick bite before out cruise.

Great food and great service every time. Surf and turf burrito is a must ! Fills my after work cravings every single time.

Average food, prices and service. Nothing stands out here. Not great, not terrible. It's a little dark inside. Visited for late lunch. TV's were on for watching sports but broadcast was Spanish. I'm still looking for a new favorite Mexican restaurant now that the Green Onion closed. read more

Upon entering the restaurant, we immediately felt how hot and humid it was inside. They really need to add air conditioning or a better ventilation system inside during these hot summer months. I had to use the restroom, so I headed to the back of the restaurant where they are located, and the women's bathroom didn't have an out of order sign even though it did not flush. I went into the men's bathroom because it was a single person bathroom, and I used that because it did flush properly, but the bathroom was so dirty and disgusting. I couldn't wait to leave. I sat down to order with my family and the waitress was unsure of the kids' menu options and the menu itself doesn't provide enough information about what is included in the kids' meals. My son ordered tacos de asada for kids and my daughter ordered a chicken burrito. The chicken in the burrito was flavorless. It tasted just like boiled chicken, but at least her meal had some rice and beans. My son got two tacos that were swimming in grease with no sides. I ordered the pina preparada which has a nice presentation. It also comes with rice and beans. However, the refried beans at this place are not good. They are cooked with oregano??? That is not necessary. Beans are delicious when they are made the traditional way. Oregano is not needed. I couldn't eat them. The seafood in the Pina preparada was pretty flavorless. The shrimp and the piece of panela cheese were the best parts of the meal. Everything else lacked salt or any seasoning. Some of it was also overcooked because the seafood was pretty rubbery. The chips that are brought to the table also didn't have salt, and the green and red salsas also didn't not have enough flavor. read more

Came here for a 6 mile run, yoga class and made it a point to stop at Brite Spot for lunch or dinner. My grandson adores Mexican food, and this restaurant is his favorite in the area. It offers authentic Mexican cuisine, so if you're on a diet, this may not be the ideal spot for you. The ambiance is charming, decorated in a Ranchero theme, and you can enjoy Spanish music from the jukebox. They have a great counter, cozy booths, and outdoor seating, which sometimes features live music. The atmosphere is delightful, with friendly customers and an excellent staff. Your meals arrive hot and exactly as ordered, and they even serve Coke in glass bottles imported from Mexico. The food is comforting and satisfying. We particularly love their enchiladas and tacos, and their fish dishes are mostly fresh. And wow, their guacamole is fantastic! Parking is free and easily accessible on the street, and it's never too crowded. You will absolutely love this place! read more

The Brite Spot was a place I stopped by in the neighborhood hoping I could score some authentic Mexican food. I was disappointed by their food. The food was mediocre at best. It wasn't very authentic either. I regretted eating here. Service was nice and friendly though. read more

The food is aswome Well worth dining in or take out Highly recommended to eat All staff is very friendly and nice! It's worth the price! read more

I came here to grab lunch with my coworkers. The employees were super nice and it wasn't busy when I was there since it was in between meals I think. I ordered a shrimp taco (no salsa) and a Super Taco (with grilled chicken). Although my food was good, my shrimp taco had the salsa i requested to leave off and after eating my super taco (which was more of a taco salad tbh), I realized there was no grilled chicken. So they aren't very detailed oriented. The food overall was good and prices were reasonable. Also, just a heads up, the sign at the register states that they add $1.50 to all checks if you pay with a card. read more

Went in today for the first time and my hubby ordered a cocktail campechana which was amazing and delicious. I ordered a bowl of ceviche de pescado and camaron and I was very dissatisfied with the lack of freshness. The cilantro was almost browned and the purple onions were losing their color and this is due to it sitting for a few days. I make ceviche at home and I know how it looks when it is fresh and this definitely was not. I left more than half of my bowl. Service was great, our waitress was great.. we will be back. read more

Great little spot! The food was exceptional. Didn't expect for the flavors to be so incredible. Service was excellent. The food was served promptly. Come by and try this BRITE SPOT! read more

I ordered a sope which was a decent size. I ordered two in case they were small but that was not the case. The staff were very friendly, parking was not an issue. They do charge $1.50 for paying with credit card. Aside from that, I had a great experience. read more

I went with my mom, and the experience was very disappointing. She ordered a coffee, but it had no flavor and tasted bad. When she told the waitress, the only response was, "that's the coffee we have," without even attempting to make another one or replace it. There was also another issue: a customer came in who, according to the waitress, always eats at the same table where my mom and I were sitting. She commented, "if it's not that table, he doesn't like to eat anywhere else." Later, when the same customer returned, she made another remark: "it's not my fault, he saw when they came in and sat there and didn't say anything" (referring to the cook, who supposedly saw us when we entered). These comments were completely out of place and made me feel very uncomfortable during the meal. Between the lack of customer service, the unprofessional attitude, and the uncomfortable atmosphere, I would not recommend this restaurant or return in the future. read more

Passing through while working and decided to stop by for a quick bite (breakfast) Was just ok for me....not bad but not great. According to the reviews dinner is better. Just a little rundown for me. My hubby did enjoy his food by the way. lol read more

Whenever we are in San Pedro, Los Angeles, we try to stop at Brite Spot for lunch or dinner. My grandson loves Mexican food and this place is his favorite in the area. It is real Mexican food, so if you are looking to diet this is not the place for you. The place is just so adorable. It is all decorated in sort of a Ranchero theme and you will hear Spanish music from the juke box. They have a great counter and super booths. They also have out door seating and I think live music out there now and again. The atmosphere is just the best. The customers are all nice and the staff is great. Your food will come hot and as ordered. They even have glass bottles of Coke from Mexico. Their food is comforting and filling. We love their enchiladas and tacos. They have great fish dishes, mostly fresh, and wow, their guacamole is fabulous. Parking is free and easy on the street. It is never too crowded. You will love this place. read more

Brite Spot Mexican Restaurant offers authentic Mexican food dining. You're greeted as soon as you step inside. The menu covers a selection of traditional dishes (tacos, enchiladas, burritos, or tamales) prepared with care and bursting with flavor. I especially like the carne asada topped with fresh ingredients, cooked & spiced to perfection. I also love the enchilada plate. They also serve cocktails and margaritas. The restaurant is small with dining inside and out. It's a nice relaxed atmosphere with a friendly and attentive staff. They do get busy and the waits can be long (find and avoid peak hours). read more

Love the chips and salsa (Red and Green) to get that appetite up for food! Having the ceviche de Shrimp for the appetizer. Too bad it came out after the meal arrived The wet burrito is the size if a small child. Holy Cow that is a monster. Good flavor, Great Size filled full of beans, rice, cilantro, carne asada, and a shit ton of other yummy goodness The ceviche was prepped perfectly but need some salt to make it all work together properly read more

Ordered via Ubereats on 05/11/24 for delivery the following: Regular Nachos Hard Shell Carne Asada Taco Super Taco- Carnitas I'd rate the tacos a "3.25" Rating and the Nachos a "2.5" Rating (mainly because the nachos- had ranchero sauce on it- not a fan and whole pinto beans- prefer smashed- guacamole/sour cream was a good portion). Granted I haven't eaten chiliquille before- but it looks similar in the container. read more

Flavor-tastic!!! Best burrito I've had in years. It kind of fell apart, and it was still five stars. Decent taco but a little bit too much sauce and it was kind of mushy The inside ambience was fine, but the outdoor seating... They make way more than enough money in this place to upgrade the outdoor seating so it's not folding tables and falling apart chairs However, it still gets five stars in my book because the service was great. She was very attentive, friendly and helpful, had plenty of jokes. read more

We visited on a Wednesday at 10:30 AM. The establishment appeared very clean, and the staff members were bilingual, attentive, and friendly! I must say, the hashbrowns were incredibly DELICIOUS!! They offer a variety of beverage options, including glass bottle sodas, fountain drinks, freshly squeezed juices, alcohol and aguas frescas. Although I am not particularly fond of seafood, the menu features a wide range of choices, many of which do not include fish. We ordered the mixed molcajete with chicken and requested extra asada instead of shrimp. While there were minor drawbacks--the salsa verde had a raw chili flavor that we preferred to be cooked, and the nopal in our molcajete was very bitter--the overall dining experience was enjoyable. For three plates, which provided us with plenty of leftovers, our total came to approximately $83. I would highly recommend this restaurant. I would certainly return for another serving of hashbrowns! read more

This is one of our favorite places for ordering delivery. They have plenty of awesome stuff- if you are looking for comfort food, there is an abundance. But the regular salad is also beautiful and huge. Extra marks for their chorizo and eggs. Addictive. read more

I like this place it is decent but prices are too much now for what it is. I highly recommend they give a detailed receipt with the charges on it not just a total and lower prices. read more

This place usto be the OG spot every weekend you would catch me getting some bomb tacos but man the food went really down in quality in the last couple of years , they've spend more money on entertainment but food quality is bland service is fine but you really have to be drunk to enjoy the food It's a bar not a restaurant read more

I placed an order at about 5 tonight for a caldo de res with all the trimmings, mexican rice onions and cilantro, corn tortillas. The lady i spoke with said it will even come with complimentary chips and salsa. I waited and by 7:30 i called back and asked where's my order. It hasn't arrived. The other lady i talked with said they don't deliver. That surprised me for i was informed earlier that they can deliver within San Pedro. She insisted that i order again but then must pick it up. I ended frustrated and hungry. I ate crackers for dinner and just went to bed. It was a very sad experience after having such a Good time there before and posting raving reviews before. I'm completely dumbfounded. read more

I was craving shrimp enchiladas and what better spot than a seafood spot. Enchiladas were bomb, beans were good and service by Arlyn was great, she got my order right. **Warning the day I was there was the middle of a warm day and I'm not sure if the AC hadn't kicked in or what but sat for a minute and then decided to sit out in their patio area, best choice ever, it was perfect outside. read more

I got the seafood cocktail that had everything. Shrimp, octopus etc plus a tasty raw oyster . If you're not afraid to spend your money come on down to San Pedro, CA.

Very nice people and our food was delicious. Felt very "local" and that made it super comfortable and familiar.

Great, authentic Mexican food. In Restaurant row off Pacific in San Pedro. The price is worth it for the taste. The servers/waitresses are pleasant. One thing is that the parking is not so great. The front of the restaurants are always busy. Not enough space to park. The back parking is not as appealing. read more

Walked into this place expecting to get a quick tasty breakfast. The place smelled so foul, of old garbage and older greasy food. Turned right around and walked out. The health department should close down this pit of questionable food quality. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The chips sitting on the tables looked old and moldy. Eek! As bad as Tres Cochinitos is, this is much worse. read more

This place smelled rancid when you walk in. I knew I should've turned around and walked out but we were hungry. We ordered food. Took one bite of my plate, one plate smelled so bad we didn't touch it, my sons took a few bites, but couldn't finish. This place was so gross. I don't understand how people eat here. On the drive home my son got so sick and we had to stop for him to use the restroom. Do yourself a favor and go anywhere but here. This food is not safe. My other son just told me he has to throw up now. This is bad. read more

The food is very authentic. I love the chips . Its very freshly cook. I am glad we came here
