Buen Provecho - Nachos ! - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

Love it! Let me start by clarifying--we only had drinks, chips, and flautas... but we enjoyed every second of them. The watermelon hibiscus drink wasn't great, so we sent it back. But the Cadillac margaritas? They hit the spot and were STRONG! The salsa with the chips were spicy, different, and delicious, and the flautas were good--covered in veggies and sauce. We sat at the bar, enjoyed the breeze, and had a great time. Service was attentive, responsive and kind. We had a great time. Try it. You won't be disappointed! read more

Buen Provecho - Chips + Salsa, Flautas and Margaritas (Cadillac and Watermelon Hibiscus) - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

My husband has been wanting to try this place out since seeing so many rave reviews on the Internets. He initially wanted us to go here for Mother's Day, but there were no reservations available when he got around to making them. My Mother's Day review of the place that we did go to didn't end well, and after a series of unfortunate events, this review will suffer a similar fate. On a whim, hubby told us to "get ready 'cause we're gonna get something to eat!" He had Buen Provecho in mind. I was able to make us reservations online whilst en route without any reservations. Parking for DTLB is more hit than miss, but you'll be walking a bit to get to your intended destination. It was a beautiful summer afternoon, so the walk from the garage was a lovely one. The hostess greeted and sat us quickly, after confirming our reservations for 4. Honestly, I don't think we really needed the reservation, but it's currently World Cup Season, and the reservation gave us an upper hand at seating. Hubby's first impression was that the place was smaller than what he's seen on the Internets. The videos he showed me were 0.5 videos so there's that. Decor is bright and colorful, the other patrons seemed happy and joyful, the World Cup game was on the TVs, and the menu looked enticing. The twins were given kids' menus, but ended up ordering from the regular menu. We ordered Palomas (Happy Hour is M-F from 2-5pm), Horchatas, Cokes, Chips and Salsa, Hot Honey Wings, Carne Asada Plates, Costillas Norteños, and the Prime Ribeye. The Palomas I'm used to ordering almost always have some kind of citrus on the rim or in the drink. Our Palomas were only rimmed with Tajin. I'm also usually a cheap drunk, feeling the effects of the alcohol mid-drink, but didn't with said drink. One of the twins' horchatas had a tiny flying friend in the drink, so we sent that back. 10 minutes and one reminder later, a new horchata was brought to us. I usually have to tell the twins to ease up on their drinks, but they hardly touched the drinks. They said "it doesn't even taste like horchata!" I tried the newer drink and it was WAY watered down. Like the very bottom of the vitrolero without any drink left. We were told that we couldn't order anymore horchata because there wasn't anymore, so that confirmed my last sentence and the lack of taste. So the twins ordered sodas and those had the right flavor. The chips and salsa come with seasoned chips and three different salsas: a red, a green, and maybe a salsa macha. I tried the green one first, and it was okay. The red one had no spice or kick (or flavor for that matter), and the salsa macha one was strictly oil and, again, no flavor. Hubby agreed. The wings were good, with a very slight sweet taste and not much heat (if any at all). Hubby and my youngest twin ate most of the wings. The twins enjoyed their carne asada plates. They said the beans and rice "were okay". I ended up eating the pickled cauliflower that came with our dishes only cause I'm a fan of pickled things. My Costillas Norteñas came with four full pieces of short rib, and they were pretty decent cuts without a lot of fat on them. I was able to tear the meat apart with my fingers, no problem, and biting into the meat was easy as the meat was pretty tender. Hubby's ribeye was cooked to his liking and was tender and easy to cut into. He asked for some hot sauce and he was given La Mamà Hot Habanero Sauce. I didn't finish my rice or my beans, even for the small dishes that they were in. They were good, but there was a flavor that wasn't as appealing to me. The corn tortillas we were given... The twins thought they were weird, but made tacos with them anyway. Hubby said the tortillas were good, and asked for more. I thought they could've have been cooked better. It seemed like they were heated up before and then set aside, and then warmed up slightly, then thrown on the plate. The twins ordered the churros for dessert and they were the best part of the meal. Warm, crispy, drizzled in chocolate and not overly sweet or greasy. Our waitress, Ms. Laura, was great though. She was attentive and nice. The restrooms are clean and well tended to, but the stall that I chose to take care of business in had a crooked toilet. The whole restaurant is open concept, with a small border separating the regular indoor seating vs. patio seating. Walking to and from the restrooms, I noticed a few tables using their menus to shoo away the tiny flying friends that invaded my twin's drink. On a side note: I mentioned to my friend about our dining experience, and she said that she, too, dined here. She wasn't impressed with this place, saying the drinks were okay and the salsas had no flavor. She said the ambiance and the company she was with was the best part of the dining experience. The twins said Buen Provecho is 2/5 stars, and Hubby says it looks better on other peoples' videos than in real life. And that's all I'm gonna say about that... read more

I came here to watch the Mexico game, and if it weren't for that, I honestly would have left. We ordered the honey wings, which were nothing special--I've definitely had much better elsewhere. The elote costillas were extremely dry and disappointing. The Caesar salad was more of a Southwest-style salad than a traditional Caesar, and it was pretty bland. The drinks were just okay. We were given a complimentary shot, but it was honestly one of the worst I've had. Overall, this place really missed the mark. The food didn't justify the high prices, and the overall experience was underwhelming. I wanted to like it, but unfortunately, I can't recommend it based on this visit read more

Fabulous after work spot. The bar wraps around with friendly bartenders and staff. The Tacos are fresh and authentic.

Came across this place trying to find where to watch a World Cup game. They have cute decor, indoor and outdoor (but shaded) seating. I tried their carne asada bowl and my husband tried a carne asada burrito. Both meals were good. This place also has entertainment. Besides the gigantic tv they had a Vicente Fernandez lookalike performer. Staff was busy for the game and yet still very attentive! I'd come back read more

Buen Provecho - Corn cobs - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

From the moment you walk in, the decor steals the show. The lighting is beautifully curated, creating a warm, inviting, and highly photogenic space. Whether you're sitting indoors or enjoying the outdoor setup, the design team deserves full credit--it feels upscale, lively, and incredibly stylish. It's the kind of place where you instantly feel relaxed and want to linger over conversation. The service was also attentive and friendly, adding to the overall pleasant environment. The Food The food lacks the wow factor. Go to Buen Provecho for a fun night out, a gorgeous backdrop, and fantastic ambience. Just keep your expectations grounded when it comes to the menu. It's a perfect spot for drinks and appetizers, even if the main courses leave you wishing for a little more flavor. read more

If you want the best service with the tastiest food you found the place. We came on Friday around 6pm. It was so lovely and vibrant. The place was filled but we had no wait. Everyone around seemed to be so happy and the ambiance was filled with joy and good vibes. Every dish is about $20. Makes sense due to the area. If you come parking is so easy! Park in one the city of Long Beach garages. Our entire bill post tip was about $80 Now for the experience. First of all the manager goes around to talk with the customers. He is so pleasant and it's clear how much he cares about his job. He talked with us for a brief second and after our appetizer arrived we got feee nachos gifted by the manager after hearing it was our first time My parter got the drink I got the mango agua. He loved the drink and wanted me to write that they make their drinks very strong. He was feeling it a bit after just one. The mango agua was soooo good. If only it could be colder. The food was the best part. The entire thought was my least favorite. The salsas were great however be prepared to have a spicy mouthful of flavor. I got the torta and omg it was amazing. If you want quality carne asada that is so juicy and tender, you need to get the torta. You will feel like a better person after eating it. Also it was so cute to see a small bag of chips with chili. Truly this dish and entire place made me so happy to be Mexican. My partner got the enchilada and it was great too. The salsa wasn't too spicy and the use of blue corn was the perfect touch. It reminds us how there exists other corn in Mexico besides yellow!!!! I need to come back for brunch. I will come back for brunch. We left excited! Truly their happy hour sounds worth it with the price for the tacos. Try to make it and let us know before I tell ya! read more

We visited this past Saturday 5/16 during dinner time (7pm) with no reservations. We were a little worried as it looked very busy, but we actually got seated right away (group of 4). Everyone was so friendly and our server was great, he gave us recommendations, and checked on us even with a busy restaurant. The food was really good I loved my carne asada tacos! Very very filling and the tortillas were bomb! My partner and mother in law both got the tortas and they enjoyed it as well! The portions are great and taste as well! Now let's talk about the margarita pitcher! Wow they do not skip out on the alcohol (you know how some pitchers you get are watery, doesn't even taste like there's any tequila in it? Yah well not here). We got the fresa margarita and it was perfect not too sweet and well balanced! Split between my mother in law and me we had a gooood time lol (but it's made for 4 ) As for ambiance it was great they played good music and we really enjoyed ourselves. I would definitely be back again I would love to come try the brunch! read more

Buen Provecho - Carne asada tacos, margarita pitcher, and torta - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

Food: 7/10 Service: 5/10 Ambiance: 7/10 I went with my husband last Friday for their happy hour. All of the happy hour tacos are bomb, especially the carnitas taco. The flautas are delicious too. Unfortunately, the service was absolutely terrible. We were sitting at the bar, which is not that large and it's quite open, for 10 minutes before being served. And the only reason anyone notices is because I lost my patience and I went up to one of the servers and told them that we have been waiting for quite a while and no one has come to check on us to take our order. What makes this experience worse is there were people seated across from us whom the manager was laughing and dapping 'em up, while while we sat there hungry and confused. I was considering using this place for my birthday dinner, but after experiencing that level of service I don't think I will return. read more

This place does not meet the Mark for the price points. They're charging both me and my best friend love eating at Mexican eateries and felt that the price points were way exaggerated for what you get. Please note if you're bringing someone here to impress them the portions will be small, but the ambience is beautiful. I will say our waitress was pretty pushy and I felt very pushed to purchase more and or the Service did not meet what the ambience was. I will say the food is fine maybe take it to go. Maybe it'll be cheaper. I don't know, but for the price point, not worth it by any means. I guess they think they're charging you for the ambience, but you can get that at many other restaurants. This place was a hard no for me. read more

Everything was great here! Food was tasty, service was great, and drinks were delicious. The only reason why I knocked down a star was because the portions didn't really match the higher price, particularly regarding the appetizers. The servers were really sweet. We were there for a bachelorette party dinner, and they gave the bride a special cocktail. Really unique design! I just wish the chips and dips could have been bigger for the price. I ordered the enchilada, and it was delicious and surprisingly filling. We also ordered the Provecho margarita pitcher and the group drink for 2. Both were well-balanced and not overly sweet or sour. Overall, we had a great experience! read more

I've passed this place several times and always loved the vibe from the outside, so I was really looking forward to finally trying it. I went with some friends, and the earliest reservation we could get was 8:15 PM. In hindsight, we should have stayed at the bar we stopped at beforehand. Unfortunately, the service here was truly awful, and it wasn't just us. Every surrounding table seemed to be experiencing the same issues and openly complaining. After being seated, we ordered drinks and were told our server would bring water and utensils. We waited a solid 20+ minutes and received nothing. Eventually, someone in our party got up and grabbed utensils for the table. When the server finally returned, she brought our drinks, but forgot one of mine and said she'd bring it later. I asked multiple times for water and a straw. Each time, nothing came. I eventually got up myself and went to the bar just to get a straw. Our appetizer arrived; still no water. When our entrees finally came, my patience was gone, and I made a sarcastic comment, which finally prompted her to rush and bring water to the table. At that point, we had planned to order more drinks, but decided we'd rather go somewhere else. I only ate half my burrito, and the running joke at the table was that I might have to walk out with the plate if I wanted a to-go box. This was easily one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a long time. There was no apology, no explanation, just consistently poor service from start to finish. I can now say I've been here, and I won't be back. read more

First off, the restaurant is beautiful. The aesthetic is on point, the music fits the atmosphere perfectly, and the overall vibe is fantastic. The menu is large, the prices are reasonable, and it's clear they're putting a modern, gourmet twist on traditional Mexican dishes. I ordered the enchiladas, and that's where I was caught a little off guard. Growing up eating traditional enchiladas, I was expecting rolled tortillas with filling inside. Instead, the dish was more of a layered stack with tortillas, shredded chicken, cheese, and sauce. It was good and flavorful, but definitely different from what I had pictured. More of a fork-and-knife dish than the enchiladas I'm used to. We also ordered the queso fundido with flour tortillas, which was rich and savory. The papas bravas were well cooked and came topped with sauce and crema. I'm not usually a big potato guy, but they were enjoyable. My wife ordered the carne asada plate, and when I felt like I needed a little more texture with my meal, I added chips and salsa. One small hiccup came when I ordered a draft beer and was served a canned version instead. I would have appreciated being told they had run out of the draft before the beer arrived. That said, the waitress handled the situation professionally, removed the beer from the bill, and I ended up enjoying a Modelo on draft instead. Great customer service and no complaints there. Overall, the staff was friendly, the atmosphere was excellent, and the experience was very enjoyable. As someone who grew up eating more traditional Mexican food, the modern interpretation of some dishes caught me by surprise. That's more a matter of personal preference than a criticism of the restaurant itself. I would absolutely come back and try more items from the menu. Parking can be a little challenging, but that's really my only complaint. If you're looking for a beautiful restaurant with great service and a creative take on Mexican cuisine, Buen Provecho is definitely worth a visit. read more

Do not recommend. Shitty quality, taste and lack of care in details. The server was honestly really nice but the time it takes to get just our drinks alone is ridiculous even with how busy it is. Our plates all came at different times so our food got cold while waiting for the rest. Yall for the price this is not worth it. So disappointed. Chips & Salsa -- stale chips Short Rib -- comes with 3 pieces of short rib one of the ones served was just the bone part NO MEAT; one was complete fat. Had to return the plate. Enchiladas -- served us uncooked tortillas. Tasted rubbery. Asada Plate -- poor quality meat; hella chewy but did have good flavor. Beans had no salt. Rice oversalted. Tortillas not warmed up tasted like they'd been sitting then served to my plate. Mole Beef ribs - tastes like uncooked tomato paste; consistency of Ducal beans from the can. Do not get if you know what good mole tastes like. Drinks -- Margaritas tastes like water and took so long to get. Hibiscus Watermelon tastes like artificial everything Prickly Pear no flavor, watered down returned Pineapple Serrano was flavorless. After 3 sips, it tasted like dishwater not able to finish. At least they play good music. read more

Despite all the good reviews, we didn't have a great experience. The service was 5* but the food was average at best. I had the enchilada suica which was smothered in a heavy creamy and cheesy sauce that was overwhelming. The enchilada itself was quite small and I was still hungry after I was finished. My friend had the chicken tinga burrito, which he said was tasty but didn't have much chicken. There was a sombrero wearing gentleman walking around the restaurant singing at such a loud volume you couldn't have a conversation. read more

I dined here with a friend on a Sunday afternoon. Vibes were cool and there was live music. It was extremely busy and chaotic that day We ordered the yellowtail tun tostada, chicken flautas, enchiladas suizas and a margarita pitcher. Food was decent and typical tapas sized plates Our waiter comped 1 round of drinks since it took so long for our food to come out. Once I got home, I checked my bank account and saw I ended up being overcharged by $75. I'm thinking my card may have accidentally been charged for someone else's bill along with mine. It was very chaotic and disorganized that day so I can see that happening I called a few times to provide the last 4 digits of my credit card and also went in-person to get it sorted since their phone reception was so glitchy. I even sent a direct message on Yelp. It was extremely difficult to get in contact with management. I was told there would be follow up/a call back but it's been over a week since I first attempted and over 2 weeks since I dined there. After waiting a week, I was instructed to contact the manager via her personal cell. No communication/follow up. The lack of urgency was frustrating. I understand there's bigger issues in the world right now but $75 is a lot of money for me. I wanted to handle it directly with the restaurant but after multiple attempts, I ended up disputing the claim through my bank. The staff were all really nice and tried to help in ways they could when I went in-person. I can tell the business is just struggling with how to operate efficiently. I am hopeful if I try this place again once they've been open for a little longer and perhaps on a less busy day that I'll have a better experience read more

I liked this place, it's really cute for our first time visiting. I would have given this place 4 stars had they not charged a 3% SERVICE FEE!. I don't like having to pay a service fee then the tax on top of that total, that's $4 in a service fee which is included in the total which is then taxed at 10%. Maybe it's a Long Beach thing, idk...If they had to include that service fee, I'd rather it be included in the cost of all the menu items so I don't have to think about it. Maybe that's just me. The other not so good part was they did not have enough servers for the amount of party's they had in the restaurant. It was a Thursday during happy hour, so I was shocked to see a lot of people arrive when we got here but even before it started getting busy the servers were slow to attend to us. It's sad that this place is understaffed because the food was good, everything tastes fresh. We got the torta which was amazing, they bake the bolillo there. The queso fundido with warm tortilla chips was delicious and so were the happy hour carne asada tacos. The only thing we didn't really like was the chicken flauta, it lacked good flavor & the garnish was a weird slaw that did not pair well with the food. The carne asada burrito also had that weird slaw that made it taste like a surf and turf burrito without the fish. Overall a decent experience and I'd like to give them another try just because their torta was amazing. read more

Lots of potential here: great indoor and outdoor seating at the bar, but my one star deduction was for the cocktail list. While waxing toward the usual selections you'd expect to see at a Mexican restaurant, I was hoping for some more creative options. And it sounds as though all or most of the cocktails are pre batched, so good for a group pitcher, but not so much for an individual picky palate. The queso fundido was good! And a decent crowd for Monday night. Service was fairly prompt. read more

Really wanted to like this place but the poor customer service ruined the experience. We (party of two) sat at the bar on Friday 16Jan2026 at around 9pm. It wasn't that crowded but it took the 3 bartenders about 10-15 minutes to acknowledge us, even after trying to flag them three times. They kept walking past us and not making any eye contact. Almost walked out after the second time but was finally acknowledged right before we were about to leave. No apology or anything. Food took a while to come out and we were served about 15 minutes apart. Drinks were good and food tasted good but the portions were small. We were still hungry afterwards. No one checked in on us again after being served and again, took almost 10 minutes to get their attention to get our bill, at this point, the two other couples had also left but somehow they still didn't notice us trying to get their attention. On a positive note, the restaurant was nice and clean. However, based on our experience we will not be returning here. I see a couple of others here with similar experiences concerning the service, owners/ mangers - train / teach your staff that a simple, "we'll be right with you" goes a long way rather than blatantly ignoring costumers and making them not want to return. read more

Now the only restaurant in downtown Long Beach that is part of the Resy network, Buen Provecho is an elevated Latin American restaurant with a focused menu that had dishes that I've not seen before. My wife, daughter, her dog, and I took a walk around downtown on a Saturday afternoon, and stopped into Buen Provecho for an al fresco lunch. We found the food to be great with excellent, personalized service and good, strong drinks. Formerly at the site of Lupe's Mexican seafood restaurant near/on the Promenade, Provecho opened in September of 2025, with a brunch menu in October. Much of what made Lupe's dining space so good, was maintained, with small patio seating in the front, and a very large open air patio in the back. It is marketed as being dog friendly, and it turned out to be exactly that. It was decently busy for a downtown Long Beach afternoon, which made our group happy. My wife got a Blackberry Ginger Margarita ($13), which was very good. I got a Saca on draft ($9), which was a perfectly serviceable cerveza...it came with a small packet of Limon 7, along with a lime slice. Our server (Jaid) was efficient throughout, being there when we needed her. Two things were provided on the house, without us asking. One was a sample of their brunch pancake, an absolutely delicious buttermilk pancake with poppy seed whip, whipped cream, and a blackberry. The other was a puppy patty (a single burger patty)... being dog friendly is a priority here. It was a great start to the meal. The Hot Honey Wings ($16) - very deeply fried, to the point of being too dry and falling off the bone. But that was rectified with a glaze made of honey infused with morita chile. Messy, but delicious. Bay Scallop Aguachile ($21) - Jaid must have known that most folks consider this to be a very spicy dish so suggested the salsa to be served on the side. Even then the verde dressing was very hot, working with the coolness of the quality bay scallops. It came with 2 tostadas, very crispy, almost like it was made of popped rice. Carne Asada ($26) - on the smaller side, with very good quality flank steak. The seasoning was just right, and we enjoyed the pinto beans and rice. Chipotle Mussels ($21) - first time I've had mussels at a Latin American restaurant, and I loved it. The creamy chipotle sauce worked really well with the plentiful black mussels, and I wish I had asked for more of the excellent buttered toast that accompanied it. Payment was using Toast at the table, and we ended up splitting the bill in half so both of us could use the monthly Resy credit that our Amex cards provide us. We didn't have any leftovers except for the puppy patty, which was too big for my daughter's mini dachshund. It's been a while since eating out in downtown Long Beach and discovering some new food related items that I will try again in the future (Latin American mussel dish, Limon 7 cerveza accompaniment, and a tostada made out of rice flour). read more
