    Chimayo Posole
    Shirley H.

    Tried Panxa in Long Beach for Mother's Day and had a decent brunch. Luckily we made a reservation since it was pretty busy. Service was a miss -- we never had a dedicated server so they didn't check in as often. For the food, we tried the stacked enchiladas and posole. I ordered my enchiladas with both roja and verde sauces, or Christmas style. Flavors were good but not memorable. The dish itself was on the smaller side for the price. The posole was pretty tasty and had a huge portion! Came with lots of vegetables and bread on the side. Overall, we were satisfied with our meal but don't need to come back.

    The ambience was bright and warm, with plenty of seating. There was no wait on a Saturday afternoon. We were there during happy hour and had the queso, ceviche, and carne asada taco. I had a bite of my brother's burger and fries -- so tasty! I also really liked the tropical unsweet tea!

    Decided to do a little getaway to Long Beach for my birthday and ended up trying this new Mexican fusion brunch spot near the beach; and honestly, it was such a vibe. I love the whole concept and atmosphere; it just felt like the perfect birthday brunch setting. I was especially pressed (in the best way) that they had a dog menu, so of course we had to bring our dog, Shadow, to enjoy it with us; which made the experience even more fun and unique. The food was okay, nothing mind-blowing but still enjoyable for a casual brunch. The drinks, though? Strong! just how I like them, especially for a birthday celebration. But the real highlight was the service. Our server, Emma, was amazing; super attentive, friendly, and really made the whole experience stand out. Overall, it's a cute spot with great energy, perfect for a chill brunch by the beach. VERDICT: I WILL COMEBACK, if I go back to Long Beach!

    I can't lie. This place is a block from my house. And it is so convenient. I go here all the time. But even if it was not so convenient, I'd still make the trip. They have things on the menu I love. And I like that they try to add new ones, but I'm being honest, I love the things I have had for years, and are very sad when they are gone. But you will have to believe me about this. They have the best chips in town. No comparison. And the three dips that come with an order are the best!!! Eat in the bar for happy hour and enjoy the specials.

    Guava margarita yum!

    I love this place! They have a fantastic happy hour and I got the shredded beef taco. Wow it was so good! I can't stop thinking about it. Our waitress was also our bartender and she made the best drinks I've ever had! The place is super cute. Has a couple of different areas to sit in, well lit and super clean. Plenty of street parking.

    Who doesn't love a HH on the weekend?!?! Parking is a wee bit of a challenge, which is what Broadway is known for. We bellied up to the bar, got a pitcher of margaritas and shared a couple of HH munchies. The bartenders are super nice too. AND they allow dogs. Bonus!!

    Happy Hour is always the BEST at Panxa Cocina! Today I had the Chicken Chimichanga and the Short Rib Taquitos...of course, with their fabulous Margaritas. Great service. Great atmosphere. Great food. Just all around Great Place!!

    I've been here many times over the years and have not been disappointed. Even when busy, the staff is always attentive, which I appreciate. I actually came here with my brother on Thanksgiving as well after travel plans were cancelled. We actually came here because they didn't have a prefix holiday menu only and we were able to order from the regular menu as well. We both tried dishes we had not previously, and thoroughly enjoyed everything, including our cocktails. With so many restaurants closing in Long Beach, I'm glad Panxa is still here.

    Went out with some friends and this was my first time at Panxa Cocina. Let me start with parking. Street parking only. There is a parking lot attached to restaurant and that is permit parking only, subject to tow. Inside is nicely decorated. There is a separate seating area by the bar that has TVs to watch sporting events. The drinks were really good. Had Here we go aGin and an old fashioned. Preferred the Gin. I had the Three Prawns that come with a house made pasta and it was really good. Had a nice spice kick to it. Service was great and the decor was inviting.

    Okay, real talk: I showed up at Panxa Cocina in Long Beach expecting a romantic meet-a-cute via Hinge. Instead, I got a plot twist that would make a B-movie jealous. BUT -- thank heavens -- Panxa saved the night. The date? Actual chaos (let's just say "quasi mental patient" in the nicest possible way). The food and atmosphere at Panxa? Absolute miracle workers. The tacos I ordered were stellar. The modern New Mexican / Southwestern vibe they rock here is bold, creative, and just fun. Bonus for the gluten‐free folks: They've got you. There are plenty of gluten‐free and vegan options mentioned by reviewers, so you won't feel like you're sacrificing flavor or fun. The service? Kind, sharp, and unbothered by the drama happening at my table (no judgement, just deliciousness). The atmosphere? Cool, casual, neighborhood‐chic, the kind of place you could totally bring friends or family and have a great time. Here's the kicker: I will be going back -- and next time I'm bringing people who deserve to experience this hidden gem. Because if a dinner that started out super awkward ended up being this good, imagine how awesome it'll be when I'm in full "friendly crew" mode. If you're looking for food that speaks louder than weird date stories, Panxa Cocina is your spot.

    Came here for a late night dinner with a big group, they were surprisingly accommodating even though it was close to closing time and even split the check multiple ways. Kudos to Panxa for excellent service in that regard, and our waitress was also very attentive and friendly. Street parking only. Once you step in, the restaurant is fairly large and beautifully decorated. The menu is diverse and prices on the slightly higher end, though portions are generous and the presentation of dishes are top notch. I ordered the octopus ceviche and posole, which were both phenomenal. The posole was a bit spicy and smokey in flavor, different than the Mexican pozoles I am more accustomed to, and was served with scrumptious fry bread. They even serve the good kind of totopos (tortilla chips)! I also got to taste some of the mole enchiladas, which while a tad sweet for me was also tasty. Overall, a hidden gem and glad that someone decided to come for his birthday or else I may have never stumbled upon Panxa!

    Stacked Enchiladas - Christmas

    Panxa Cocina is one of Belmont Heights best kept secrets! I went here for date night and was pleasantly surprised. The ambiance was very nice it has a nicely lit small dining room with Mexican murals and art which allows for a beautifully decorated dining experience but we opted for the bar area which had mood lighting, high top tables and plenty of seats at the bar, TVs, and great music. The food was EXCELLENT we had the Stacked Short Rib Christmas Enchiladas, the Flaquita margarita pitcher and the "New Mexican" Pizza. An amazing rendition of the classic Mexican dish and the Taco Bell fan favorite. The meat was perfectly cooked and melted in your mouth. The Chimayo red chili and hatch green chili complemented the dishes perfectly. The "New Mexican" pizza was packed with flavor and all the ingredients combined to make a truly excellent dish. The margarita was sweet but not overpowering and you can taste the spirit, they don't use triple sec, syrups, or liqueurs here which really makes all the flavors shine and not get drowned out by sugar. Overall a great classic margarita. The service was quick and fast. We went at about 8pm near closing time and we were sat instantly and ordered shortly thereafter. Our server constantly refreshed drinks and checked in. She personalized my visit after I told her it was my first time and explained the menu in detail telling us the history behind the restaurant and also checked back after we preferred to see how we were liking it . I highly recommend Panxa Cocina for a night filled with great food and great drinks!

    I had the best fry bread taco here! We had their queso, so good. My husband had the enchilada with red and green sauce. We had their margarita and they were fantastic. We ended with some delicious blonde dessert. Our server was friendly and kind. Love the ambiance of the place.

It's clear the owners put a lot of thought and creativity into making their cocktails the centerpiece of the experience. That said, the execution didn't live up to the concept. The menu appears to rotate regularly, and while the drinks were certainly unique, most of the cocktails we tried were hit or miss. At roughly $22 per drink, I expected more balance and refinement. One cocktail started with flavors reminiscent of an Old Fashioned, but after the initial sip, the combination of bitters and fruit syrups created an unpleasant cough syrup like finish. We tried a mocktail as well, and it was mostly ice and soda water, with what seemed like a collection of syrups doing most of the heavy lifting. The drinks were creative, but many of the flavor profiles felt disjointed rather than intentional. The biggest issue, however, was the bar service and sanitation practices. I watched a bartender place a cucumber garnish into a glass using his bare hands, touching the entire garnish in the process. He then continued to take credit cards, cash, and other items before stuffing ice into additional drinks with his bare hands. Whether or not this technically violates health code standards, it certainly wasn't appetizing to watch and left a poor impression. Parking is another challenge. There is no dedicated parking, and unless you get lucky, expect to park several blocks away and walk. Overall, the atmosphere is a lot of fun and the cocktail menu is ambitious, but the drinks didn't justify the price point, and the sanitation concerns were hard to overlook. I wouldn't rush back, especially given the cost and parking difficulties.

We sat at the bar, and I expected to receive service from the bartender, but he didn't acknowledge us for the entire night. Instead, our server took our order. After a while, she informed us that the crispy rice we ordered was sold out. She mentioned that the bartender was supposed to let us know, but he never did. What made the experience more uncomfortable was that the bartender seemed to be giving most of his attention to the Caucasian customers on the other side of the bar. We were the only Asian customers there, and unfortunately, this left us feeling like we were being treated differently because of our race. The good food and drinks helped compensate for the poor service, so we decided not to let it ruin our evening. However, things got even more disappointing at the end. After I paid, I noticed that I had been charged for the crispy rice even though we never received it. When our server tried to address the issue, the bartender appeared to ignore both her and us, so we eventually left. I hope management sees this review and reaches out to me to address the overcharge and the overall experience. Overall, although the food and drinks were good, the service and the way we were treated left a very negative impression. Unfortunately, I will not be returning.

We stopped by late Saturday night and were able to snag an immediate walk-in at the bar at Hao Peng You, which is the intimate speakeasy portion of Midnight Oil. The decor definitely reminded me of my grandparents' house in Taiwan, with vintage, ornate wooden chairs, dragon/lion statue carvings, and even a historic century old marital bed that had been repurposed into a booth. The drinks were also VERY unique, with my favorite being Hua sheng (literally meaning peanut), which was crafted from a nostalgic childhood peanut milk drink. All our cocktails were crafted very well, to the point where I thought they were a bit on the lighter side since I couldn't really taste the alcohol. This section does get really busy though and only had one bartender who is making/serving drinks and taking orders, so do expect a bit of a wait. Overall, highly recommend checking out this vibey vintage Taiwanese-inspired speakeasy (that my inner history nerd was so excited about), and I'll definitely be back to try their food items as well as their two other bar/restaurant concepts!

The location is super easy to find, right next to a donut shop and a mechanic, and across the street you've got a 7-Eleven, Subway, and a few other small spots. Plus, Tommy's Burgers and an Arco are right nearby, so everything you might need is within reach. I tried both the cucumber mixed drink and the mango mixed drink, both were really good, but I personally preferred the cucumber one. It's less sweet and way more refreshing, especially if you're not into overly sugary drinks. We also had a BBQ chicken pizza that they cook in a fire oven (I think it's called a wood-fired pizza), and it was really good, definitely worth trying if you go.

    This is such a cute hotel bar with beautiful decor, we made a quick stop before our stop at their…read moreterrace bar. We arrived and there were a few parties leaving, we walked to the bar area and the two servers were occupied with other guests, so we patiently waited. Finally one of them approached us and shared the menu, another gentleman came to the bar and he was quickly greeted with a hello and our same server immediately shared the menu. The gentleman politely said, these ladies were here first please take their order first, which the server did but was not so happy about. To our surprise the server still prepared his drinks first. The gentleman very surprised apologized since he knew we were there before him. With our drinks in hand we found a table with some empty seats. The table side where we sat had a sprite glass bottle and a glass that hadn't been picked up since the last party left. We moved it a side to set our drinks and finally enjoy our conversation. A different server came to the table and asked the gentleman next to us to get his empty glass and she completely ignored our side. She did another round and I finally asked her to pick up the bottle that was left by another party before us. I asked her for the menu again, she brought it but she did say that I had go back up to the bar to order any additional drinks. We decided to not order a second round and head up to the terrace.

The bartender who is also the barista was so welcoming. I love the historical aspect of this building and they did an incredible job with the maintenance of it. The marble and gold and earthly tones which are deep and rich! Sigh! They're open til 10pm... I'll be back

    So this is a review that's been a *long* time coming (I've just been chronically overwhelmed for an…read moreequally long time.) I haven't been here often, but I *was* here right around when they opened, wherein I determined that the food ranged from quality but a bit overpriced, to just overpriced, a feeling I would still hold, generally speaking. Great vibe, solid service, but maybe a little pretentiously priced (and/or it's just stupid expensive to run a restaurant in this area, granted.) And with *super* pretentiously-priced cocktails, for how relatively simple they mostly are (if I'm gonna spend $18+ plus tip on a drink, I expect Baby Gee-level cocktails.) They also had an impressive wall of craft beer on tap, but also a bit pricey, especially compared to places not on 2nd street, so there was never a particular *draw*. But then I never actually finished reviewing it, because I'm super behind. Anyway, then also not particularly recently, they launched a happy hour, which at the time, especially for this particular part of Long Beach, was pretty stupidly good, with $5 decent sized smashburgers (6 with cheese, 10 with cheese and also fries), as well as $5 craft beer, pretty much all of them, including the fancy, exciting stuff (exciting if you're a nerd like me, the barrel aged stuff, for instance). They also had one specific half hour at the time, which I'd like to immortalize as a super fun idea, where one specific cheap but craft beer was some stupid price, I think like a dollar, but since they had a whole wall of rotating craft beer, a *different* specific cheap craft beer any given day. That's not relevant at all to my current review, but it was fun. Anyway, I still didn't write a review like a year ago when I took advantage of that happy hour, though I did take advantage of it a solid couple of times. Skip forward again to just a few weeks ago, I happened to be attending an event in the general area again, an event that was going to involve more alcohol than food and for which having a happy-hour-timed dinner in the area was going to be useful, so I figured I'd check out whether the happy hour was still there, and it was. At least as of a few weeks ago, the happy hour (3-6 weekdays) was still a thing, and it had gone up a whopping 55 cents per item. Ends up being effectively ~$17 plus tip for a quality smashburger, quality fries and a craft beer, though they didn't have as *many* of the fancy (barrel-aged or equivalent) stuff as they had the first time, they did still have some, and it was still $5.55 for any beer on draft they had. So happy hour wise, that's a pretty good price for this part of the country, I'd say. Obviously only since the burgers and fries *are* also absolutely quality burgers and fries. Not quite as wonderful as my gold standard smashburger at The Stache, perhaps, but still a great smashburger. My opinion on spending almost 20 bucks for what is effectively still just an old fashioned, hasn't changed, though. :p
