    Went here on Ash Wednesday, since I could not eat meat due to my religious beliefs. Ordered Fish tacos, shrimp tacos, potato tacos and Side peppers. Received all my food with 15 mins. Bit into these tacos and wowser! The quality of taste of tacos were fresh and delicious. The crunch was refreshing along with the cab bage and salsa dripping down from it's shell. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good establishment. Cashier was friendly and the place was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely come back again. Parking might be difficult, pending what day you come but is worth the price and quality. Kudos!

    I went here the other day for lunch. It was the first time visiting a Holé Molé and I can say that I'll be back! I tried a handful of different items, like the fried fish taco, grilled shrimp taco, crunchy chicken taco and el pastor flour taco plate. The fish and shrimp tacos were my favorites by far. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This location was quaint and well maintained and the staff was very kind.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Small cute place that serves big flavor![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Wow, I did not expect this place to be this good. I paid 6.29 for the mini plate which included one Baja Fish taco one smoked brisket beans and a yellow chili. The flavor in the two tacos was amazing. I ordered a shrimp taco on the side and that was the best! The price was a steal. We will definitely be driving back just to eat here.! Had Flanquirtos for desert which was fried flan. It was good, but I will definitely be trying the fried ice cream next time. They were patient with us as I wasn't sure how to order and the service was helpful!

    I came here yesterday and the food was so good I had to come back the very next day! What was even better , day two just so happened to be Taco Tuesday! I got an Ensenada Fish and an Ensenada Shrimp Taco. They were by far the best fish and shrimp tacos I have ever eaten! I washed the tacos down a delicious horchata! When I walked in I was greeted by the hospitable staff! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant was clean and cozy![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is a hidden gem! You won't be disappointed, trust me , come here NOW! I will definitely be back ASAP!

    I really wanted to try the brisket here and the crunchy tacos caught my attention. So I ordered the Roasarita Smoked Brisket and the Carnitas Crunchy Tacos. I'm sorry, but with the Roasarita, I felt like they was just throwing anything on a tortilla. Brisket, raw onions, guacamole, beans, cilantro, and add a bed of tortilla chips. Entirely too much going on. The Crunchy Carnitas Tacos were good minus the "special sauce" that I didn't even knew came on it. I'd go back for the Crunchy Tacos minus the sauce, but idk if I want to experiment and try anything else. Especially if it's just random ingredients thrown in a tortilla.

    10/10 I love this place! If you're looking for good shrimp and fish tacos make sure you stop by here! They're the best fish tacos in the area. Food comes in big portions. They give you plenty of rice, beans, and chips with your combo. The horchata is also really delicious! Staff is always very friendly and helpful with the menu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's tables to sit inside and outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's always very clean and cool inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Receipt

    We went to this location because it had the higher rating than the others. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We placed our order and while waiting, a mouse ran from the counter through the dining area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Eeeek! We took our food back to eat at home, wondering if we should still eat the food after seeing that mouse. We grudgingly tried it, my husband got the chicken mole burrito did not taste anything like mole. Mole is one of his favorite Mexican food, so he knows mole. I got the fish burrito, it was just so-so. We wouldn't go back there again and don't recommend eating here.

    Brisket Taco

    Came here for their brisket tacos, which were as good as ever. Hole Mole has been a mainstay chain in the fast casual Mexican food arena, serving Mexican fast food classics throughout SoCal. This Long Beach location on the corner of E 4th St. and Almond was converted to Hole Smokes, a new concept focusing on Texas BBQ blended with the original Mexican menu. With the opening of a dedicated Hole Smokes in Costa Mesa earlier this year, this location reverted back to being a Hole Mole, but still kept some of it's brisket items on the menu. There is a dedicated parking lot that never gets full, and some outdoor seating next to the restaurant. The smell of smoked brisket was in the air as we walked in. It is a fast casual set-up inside, where you order and pay for your food and then wait if carry-out or sit down where they will deliver it to you once ready. I just wanted one thing, which were the brisket tacos ($2.79)....had tried other things on the menu before, and they were just OK...the brisket tacos are unique in its price and just being rare in SoCal. These are street taco sizes, but were overflowing with meat. It is simply dressed with sliced (not diced) white onions and a bit of cilantro. The brisket in itself is very good, smokey and tender, but cut up into squares (not quite chopped but not sliced as the best brisket tacos one would find in TX). Just the quantity of meat you get vs how much you pay for each taco, makes this a great place to go if you love smoked brisket. The tacos get cheaper if ordered on Taco Tuesday ($1.99). They no longer sell brisket by the pound (you would need to go to the Hole Smokes in Costa Mesa for that...along with other BBQ staples)...but for 6 tacos, I'm pretty sure we got at least 1/2 worth of brisket. As just brisket, IS IT the best we've had in Cali?...No...but for the price, it's an absolute winner...and frankly I'm surprised they are able to keep that price that low.

    The fish tacos here were good. But the main reason to go here would be to get a horchata coffee. The service here both times J went was great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When they make mole it sells out so I guess you should come in the morning m. We tried to order some but they were out:(

    Ensenada fish and shrimp tacos
    Jaidyn P.

    Came on a Monday and got the surf and turf plate combo. It was DELICIOUS! Brisket was perfectly moist and tender and the fish was perfectly battered with so much flavor. We loved the food and service so much that we came back again the next day for Taco Tuesday. This time getting a fish and shrimp and O.M.G. I didn't think it could get any better but the shrimp taco was heavenly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place itself is nice, smaller on the inside however you can sit outside as well![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All in all, a great place to eat. Highly highly recommend!

A very welcoming vibe upon entry, we were greeted by a friendly couple who answered our questions about popular drink flavors. We decided to go with a Hot Cinnamon Dulce Latte and an Iced Blueberry Lavender Latte. While waiting, there were plenty of chairs, tables, a comfy couch and even a bar area to sit and relax. Tons of board games, books and wonderfully mellow music helps make the experience feel comforting and inviting. Our drinks were prepared quickly and shouted at the coffee bar for pickup. The presentation was great, but the flavors, out of this world! The Cinnamon Dulce Latte was OUTSTANDING. So good, in fact, that my girlfriend stole it from me! Not to worry, her Blueberry Lavender Latte was also top-notch, with a smooth, not-to-sweet flavor combination. Friendly staff (which comes with occasional karaoke renditions from the Bluetooth speakers), a chill vibe and outstanding drinks make this a top spot in the area for hardcore coffee lovers. Check them out!

I started with a cup of their beef and barley soup. My wife and I both make this at home from scratch and we're both impressed by theirs. My wife took a taste of mine and instantly ordered her own. Very rich and flavorful. I kept looking at photos of their take on chicken and waffles and knew I had to try it. Seriously epic and was good as it looked. They coated the chicken in a chili rub that gave it a sweet and spicy flavor when paired with their maple syrup. Served on top of a waffle and topped with an egg. I loved it and would probably order again on my next visit. My wife had the American plate which was your classic eggs, bacon, potatoes, and sourdough toast combo. High quality ingredients elevated it beyond your typical diner food. Drinks were great too. I had their house made bloody mary which had a nice kick to it. My wife had their brunch version of a Corpse Reviver cocktail. After our meals were done we finished with an Irish coffee since everyone was ordering them.

I stopped in for a coffee and a side of bacon, and my total was almost $20. For such a simple order, that's hard to justify. I understand food costs have increased, but the pricing feels excessive compared to other local restaurants that serve quality food at much more reasonable prices. My biggest concern, however, is the impact the business has had on our neighborhood. Since Zuzu's Petals opened, we've noticed a significant increase in litter, much of it appearing to be food and drink packaging from the restaurant. Weekend traffic on the sidewalks has become overwhelming, customers often park in alleyways or in unsafe locations, and it has made our neighborhood much more difficult to navigate. We brought these concerns to an employee, but were told there wasn't much they could do. If this business truly wants to be part of the community, I hope they take more responsibility for the impact they're having on the surrounding neighborhood. Encouraging customers to park responsibly, helping keep the area clean, and offering more reasonably priced menu options would go a long way toward building goodwill with the people who actually live here. I always want local businesses to succeed, but right now I can't recommend Zuzu's Petals based on both my experience and the ongoing issues it's created for nearby residents. Also beach cleaning isn't cleaning our neighborhood. That's no support to our neighborhood. Maybe have a neighborhood clean up day instead.

    I never expected to find stellar cocktails and wings inside of a hotel, but you truly never know…read more Let's start with the cocktails; they are KILLING it. The menu has a ton of really detailed options, each drink with its own depth. The menu changes seasonally but what doesn't change is the smoked old fashioned - a must-order. They smoke your drink in a glass container using applewood chips; it's quite a show and it also does make the drink much more enjoyable. Ask the bartender and they can also help guide you to a drink - I've done it a couple of times and always pleasantly surprised. Next up, the food! The hummus was very flavorful and paired with an amazing fluffy pita bread. The truffle fries were solid but the plate was HUGE, definitely needs a friend to share. The Nashville wings are the star of the show. I cannot stress this enough, this is worth a DRIVE for. The seasoning really does remind you of Howlin' Rays (the highest compliment) and the chicken is extremely crispy yet insanely juicy. The pickles and ranch that it comes with pairs so well. Do note that they are tossing it in pork fat, which enhances the depth but also makes it a little greasy at the end. I also wished they'd warn you this and offer to order it without it; especially for those who don't eat pork or for those trying to cut some calories. There's a happy hour menu too!!! So you can get drinks and food even cheaper. I cannot stop thinking about this place. It's such a sleeper. Head to Midnight Oil after a visit to continue your night.

One thing I would call out is to double-check that your drink is made with the alcohol you requested. I asked for a specific brand in my jalapeño margarita, and the bartender used the one I had specifically said I didn't want (Casa Amigos). I watched him make it and had to ask our server to confirm what was in the drink. To their credit, they remade it with no issues, but it's worth paying attention if you're particular about your spirits. The staff was friendly and welcoming each time I stopped in, and while service ran a bit on the slower side at moments, they stayed attentive enough that it never felt like a real issue.
