I celebrated my 60th birthday here two years and two months ago - and they still don't disappoint! I sure hope some young people learn from the present owners/ operators/ chefs because it would be sad to lose this place and the food! Very family and friend gathering dining place! read more

Patricia's Restaurant - Mole chicken enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

Someone told my husband about this restaurant and said it was an authentic place for some good Mexican food. (We love Mexican food!) We asked for chips after we ordered. They give a complimentary basket with some beans and green sauce on top. I thought that was interesting and different. Those were fine although I thought the beans were a bit bland. My husband got the taco and enchilada combo with beans and rice and I got 2 tacos, one chicken and one beef. Honestly, it didn't blow us away. The food was ok. Not amazing and we've had better. We likely won't go back. read more

Patricia's Restaurant - Tamales, chicken and beef. Both were really good - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

Came here after a doctors visit next door, we always see this place and have never stopped by..... until today. Stopped in for breakfast and no one (customers) was here yay for us I don't like crowds lol. Today we were the only ones there. Service was good, employees are very friendly. Ambiance is clean (a little outdated) lots of seating, with some seating outside. Food was good, happy we stopped by. read more

I'm writing this updated review based on an experience I had this past Friday. I picked up food as I usually do for my Friday lunch meet ups with my UPS driver son. We had Patricia's again. The food was delicious. We had mixed ceviche, a wet, Barbacoa burrito and chicken taquitos. The ceviche was delicious and very fresh. It comes with shrimp, octopus and white fish. They give plenty of tasty chips and tostadas to go with the ceviche. All of the salsas are delicious. The chicken taquitos were very good and come with guacamole, which was also very good. We also had cucumber and strawberry Agua Fresca's, they were very well prepared The restaurant is nice and clean. It's large and I'm sure it gets packed on the weekend. The reason for the updated review is that I left my wallet there. I realized it after we finished our lunch and before I drove back to Orange County. I was able to swing by and pick it up. They sweetly put it in a little brown paper bag and I'm happy to report that all the contents were still there. It speaks well for the Bixby Knolls area, the clientele and the staff of Patricia's. Needless to say the service is impeccable. I was able to enjoy a Modelo Negra while I was waiting for my food. read more

My colleagues ordered food here for lunch many times and once in a while I would get ceviche from there. The food is decent and of good quality, especially the ceviche, whether it's fish, shrimp, or mixed ceviche (which includes octopus), I always could taste the freshness in their seafood quality. You know, the fresh firm and cooked just right texture, and not the type where you can taste that they have thawed the seafood. My colleagues also loved their tacos and wet burritos and they are very big. There also is also good and spicy. When you go to the restaurant, they have a salsa bar where you can package all the pico de gallo, salsa, and pickled veggies all you want. Parking could be tough during rush hours. This is one of my fav spot for fresh ceviche! read more

I love this place! The food is amazing. I always get the steak chimichanga and share a cold beer with my man! You get complimentary nachos, which are so yummy! Fried to perfection. Service is always good and friendly. I believe it's a family owned business. The ambiance is great. So many pictures of the past. Heritage is so important and fascinating to see other people's backgrounds. read more

I have been to Patricia's many times. I keep wanting to love the place but I can't. Each time I say I'm not coming back but I do, so it can't be that bad. Service is great. Who cares about the decor, I go to eat not get wowed by ambiance. But to be specific, I am vegetarian (just no meat) so I will order accordingly. They do have veggie burritos and tacos and they have potato tacos, one of my favorites, but the potato is more like mashed potatoes. Same with a breakfast burrito. Meals are generous enough, the chips with beans and green sauce are pretty good. It's just basic food, nothing special and when you are leaving you are wondering 2 things: why did I come back and where else can I go that doesn't cost 25 bucks for a enchilada's? So why only 2 stars? Well 2 stars means "could have been better." I couldn't say it any better than that. OK? Certainly. read more

Love this place! Family owned and operated. My family and I have been coming here for years. Everything I ve eaten here is tasty and delicious! I love their shredded beef tacos, enchiladas and their soup! I also love that they give you chips to snack on while you're waiting for your order! Fresh salsa bar as well! They never ever disappoint:) read more

Wanted a chimichanga so I found this place. I called to verify an item that wasn't in their menu... the lady said yes and hung up lol. So I figured maybe she was busy. I proceeded to the restaurant anyway. The first thing that threw me off was all the employees handling the food with no gloves. The lady scooping them chips with her hands was crazy no lie... i was charged an extra .70 for tomatoes.. which turned out to be pico de gal The parking lot was a reasonable size so you don't have to fight for parking. It's an older dated restaurant looks dingy. read more

To he reason why I give this place a 4 stars is because they food is good but it can be better if they put some seasoning on they meat . I order the The work Burrito Carne Asada it was a big nice size burrito and I also order a Carne Asada dinner it was a nice plate but the meat didn't have no taste . The restaurant was nice and clean and the young lady that were working. The cashier was very nice and friendly. I will go back but I will ask them can they make it taste like something lol read more

Patricia's Restaurant - Milanesa Dinner - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

Food so good. I'm pretty picky when it comes to Mexican food. My grandparents owned a restaurant. Shredded beef tacos, rice and beans.

Placed a catering order 3 days ago for 2 pm pick-up. Took more than an hour for my order to be semi complete . The nephew that came with me had to leave for work , after 1 hour and 10min wait he left me to wait for the rest of the order . Now I'm waiting for a ride to come get me with the rest of the order . It's 3:30 and I'm still here for and order for 2pm read more

Everything I've ordered from here has been delicious! They offer a big menu from a la cart to lunch or dinner combos, even soups. They have a salsa station in center so you can add on to your plate if you want fixings. read more

Had a long day at work and was looking for some good old Home fashioned Mexican food. Found this spot. Greeted and physically ordered from the cashier a chicken Mole Plate with a Carne Asada burrito. Not saying that it is the best Mexican food but just average. Considerably equal to a El Torrito Restaurant without the fancy ambiance. Overall, I recommend this place because the prices are affordable and seating arrangement is good. Open Salsa Bar is also provided: Red Salsa, Pico Di Gao, Green Salsa, Pickled Carrot and Jalapeno. Beer Fridge is also accessible which is a self-serve type of option. Plenty of Parking in the back. read more

This is the Mexican answer to a greasy spoon diner. You order at the counter, and the order is delivered to the table. The food is simple yet satisfying, served in a no-frill fashion. The caldo de res was rich and I love the fact that there's a whole plate of toppings that you may deploy at your discretion, including three slices of avocado. The accompanying corn tortilla were store-bought. I became very thirsty after lunch, which could mean that the food is over-salted or contained MSG. I don't regret eating it though. I was a pretty happy camper. The cafeteria-style furniture was a little uncomfortable, but most of the customers didn't seem to mind it. My bony butts was getting sore after a while, but the cushioned chairs at the bench rammed my knees directly into the metal beam under the table. The price is right though for a quick bite. read more

Today was our first time trying the place that my wife and I have been driving past for a few years now and it was very delicious. I got the wet burrito and my wife got the Milanesa plate. Both were delicious and full of the flavor I expect from a family owned hole in the wall restaurant. We'll definitely come back to try some of the other dishes they have to offer read more

I forgot that I like this place! It's been a while since we been here. My go-to is the Flautas Plate. Hubby likes the Milenesa Plate. Wished they stay open later though. They close at 9pm. read more

I originally ordered 4 shrimp ceviche tostadas over the phone when i got there the lady said she only took my order as one tostada so i asked to just make it three in total. The lady proceeded to charge me for four. I let the tall guy at the counter know what was wrong and he said don't worry he will credit me back the $7.99 for the shrimp ceviche that I didn't get. This was two weeks ago and still haven't received my credit. So basically Patricias stole from me. I will not go back to a place the rips off its patrons. Food is over priced and the employees don't wash there hands after taking money and preparing food. Be careful for this place watch you money and what they charge for or u might get robbed as well read more

There is something very special about Patricia's. Their food is amazing and they treat you like family. We live 1.5 hrs away from Long Beach, but whenever we are in the area, we stop. We were there Monday night. I had a carne asada plate and my wife had salmon (the most delicious salmon). Fresh, very tasty, with veggies. So good! Try Patricia's. You will not be disappointed. read more

The food is terrible. Burnt carne asada with absolutely zero flavor. There isn't any pride in this restaurant from their food all the way to their people. Rude and gross food. Waste of time and money. read more

Love their home style cooking, and the food is delicious. Very friendly and casual place. They have parking area read more

This was my first time dining at Patricia's. We were greeted immediately by the gentleman at the counter. He was very nice and his customer service was exceptional. We placed our orders and the food came out on a timely basis. The food was good, I ordered the chimichanga with shredded beef. I was wowed by the presentation of my plate. I would definitely return to try other dishes. read more

Carne asada and pastor meat was burnt. The rest of the food wasn't really good either. Disappointed as it wasn't cheap. I would steer clear of this place. read more

Got sick eating their chile relleno. They used some real strange tasting cheese. Place was also dirty and filthy. Will not be eating here again read more

The best Mexican food in Long Beach. Service is really great and the restaurant and prices are very reasonable. Staff is very friendly and attentive. My go to place for trips tacos as well as mixta tostadas. They also have inside and outside dining and also have beer to go with the tacos and seafood. read more

I love this place. I'm allergic to shell fish so for a long time i havent been able to eat the chips they give you before the food in a lot of restaurants. When they brought out some for us here i kept just wanting some but i couldn't because most place only have one oil cooker and they fry shrimp in it. The cook took it upon him self to cook me a fresh batch of chips with guacamole and beans. I enjoy it so much. Its hard to find service like that now and days. The food is super good , the prices for the serving sice are very good. Definitely recomend this place. Sorry i didnt take pics I couldnt wait and ate it right away. I ordered: Asada plate with rice and beans and a side egg on top. Also a carnita taco My wife got: A two some plate with rice and beans and horchata Over all a 10 out of 10 read more

Ok I've been passing by this place for a while and finally today I got to try it. It was actually pretty good. Large portions! Price was reasonable. We didn't get to dine in. Took it home and it held up well. Tacos are huge! Mole was good and had lots of chicken. Sorry no pics ! read more

Omg. I am mad at everyone I have ever met here in Long Beach for not telling me about Patrica's sooner. I stopped by for lunch and... I drooled when I saw the menu. I went with the Camarones al ajo. Yummy! Guacamole, beans, rice... all good. Even the soda fountain Coke was great. Highly recommend and will be back!!!! read more

The food is amazing here ! I tried it and I'm a picky eater but omg everything is good here. Customer service is A1! And the fact that they deliver as much well is awesome! Family owned business!!! Love it everyone is so nice! My job has been ordering from them for years. Super clean and fresh food, you can just taste it . Always clean and organized with deliveries and serving and service!!! If I could give more stars I would! I'm telling everyone I know about this place read more

It has been a number of years since our last visit to Patricia's. Our loss. The menu is large, featuring many options. My wife ordered 2 tacos; Asada & Carnitas. I ordered a carnitas burrito. Be aware that portion control is not observed at Patricia's. Our meals were terrific! Generous portions of delicious meat. Tasty salsa. The dining area is typical of any fast food restaurant and the service the same. Worth the time and money. read more

This restaurant is not consistent with the quality and service. They need to work on the environment they provide their patrons to eat in.

Cravings satisfied . The Carne asada fries were soooo good !! So much meat !! Added all the salsa in the salsa bar and it was even better . The fries were a little over done but I like extra crispy fries so I wasn't mad about it (keeps it from getting soggy from all the goods on top) I saw a bad review on them serving a little bit of sour cream and guacamole and I was a little nervous going in, but they gave the perfect amount (and it was like the size of my palm)! I placed a phone order for to go and waited with my kids at a table. They walked my order to us and it looked so good on top of the nice quiet atmosphere (I got there at the perfect time since only one or two parties were there) so we ended up devouring the whole thing at the restaurant. It was around 530-630ish (the perfect time) because the whole restaurant was pretty filled by the time we left ! read more

Ooh weee my cousin took me to lunch for some yummy Mexican food. I ordered a steak quesadilla and it was delicious! This is the old Pizza Hut in Bixby Knolls. But now it's very much different in the inside. Very old school vintage car or classic car vibes. Service was pretty good. Everyone was nice! Will be back to try more beans read more

If I could give this place zero stars, I would! Never go here their food is horrible and so is their service. They got my order wrong so I called them back and they asked me to bring the food back to them after I was already home. Beware, it's overpriced and definitely not worth it! read more

What happened? I used to love coming to this place. It was friendly and the food was good. Came in last Saturday, no greeting no thank you and food was terrible for the price restaurants charges now it's a shame. Oh well. read more

Always a great time here! The staff is so friendly and the tasty food is large portions at reasonable prices. I am a regular customer. Please stop by. You won't be disappointed. read more
