We had family in town and needed a last minute reservation on a Sunday for 12 people. The qualifications: AC and delicious food. Panxa Cocina fit all of the above and the entire squad left the restaurant raving about their experience. Our crew shared a bit of everything fried squash, queso, ceviche, enchiladas, and their verde chilaquiles with over easy eggs and chicken. Each of these items were delicious, but I'd return for the ceviche and chilaquiles. The ceviche was a delicious mix of sweet and salty. Their tortilla chips are made fresh in-house and paired perfectly with the fresh cut fish. I was also impressed by their cocktails. With family in town, we visited a number of fan-favorite restaurants across the coastline. Panxa stole the show for best mixed drink: the watermelon margarita.

Since we were at the convention center across the street, Kalaveras is really convenient if you're around downtown Long Beach. We were seated immediately and had our orders fairly quickly. We had a long day of walking around, so we cooled off with a Mojito and La Katrina mocktail. I ordered the Kala Burrito while wifey ordered the 1 Enchilada and 1 Chile Relleno combination. Basic chips and salsa were brought out while we waited. Our waitress accidentally forgot my wife's mocktail and brought us two Mojitos. She immediately realized her mistake and gave us the second Mojito for free while she went back for the mocktail. Honestly that stood out as really good service. Naturally a free drink sounds good to most everyone, but the fact that she recognized her mistake and rectified it as soon as it happened speaks volumes of her professionalism. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time for being a pretty busy Friday night. My wife's combination plate was great with the Enchilada de Mole being the standout. My burrito was huge in size and very filling (I could've done without the fries in the burrito but that's just a personal preference and no biggie). Kalaveras can be slightly pricey but it's a good place to get some grub and drinks after a long day on your feet. Catch up with friends, go on date night, or have a family outing - Kalaveras is the spot for any occasion! They're open late, have lunch specials, daily specials, Saturday & Sunday brunch, happy hour, etc. They also offer a complimentary photo card if you want to commemorate your outing!

Definetly added the lines onion and cilantro to make the flavor pop out more The Birria crunch was stuffed with beans Birria avocado lettuce and possibly cheese? There was a cheese exterior as well but once it cools down that cheese exterior gets a little tough to eat.

I ordered the jackfruit burrito no beans no rice add mushrooms and I was BEYOND satisfied as the burrito was HEFTY AF not to mention JUICY AF filled with the BEST flavor- and the cilantro and spicy aioli sauces to be honest with you though they were GOOD I didn't need it like I thought I would (being that there is no queso in the burrito) the way the jackfruit was cooked shiiiiiit PACKED FLAVOR! Customer service was also ON POINT, there was A LOT of traffic upon walking in therefore I KNEW there was a strong possibility I was about to get my monies worth and taste buds were gonna be happy right along with my tummy! People were seated and coming in and some coming out I LOVE THAT! also the woman who took my order TOOK MY ORDER and the woman who brought my food out to me... Delivered EXACTLY what I had ordered because SHE personally came to me as I awaitied my order to double check she made my burrito the way I wanted- I have ZERO complaints.. I'll be back FOR SURE especially if they keep making my jackfruit burritos they way they made it yesterday. The inside was beautifully decorated and was very welcoming... Seemed comfy especially the booth areas so thinking next time I'll have a seat to eat I recommend str8 up tacos HIGHLY, especially if you enjoy flavor to your food, where you can tell it was made with passion to satisfy the customers....

I need to make this update: Me and my husband ate here again today (8/30/26) This is his 4th visit…read morein the last 3 weeks; two of which I went with him. He said that it has declined with each visit... Nobody was at the counter to take our order when we walked in. We waited for a few minutes then said "hello" to see if anyone came out. They did not. We ended up ordering on the kiosk (which we don't like doing, we'd rather order with a human). The guy finally came out, took someone else's order after us and his food came out within a couple of minutes. No joke. Meanwhile, it took our food 12 minutes; which isn't terribly long but we were already turned off at this point... I asked for more water (they have a self serve water jug), the guy didn't fill it. I asked for water again when our food came out (different guy). Then several minutes later the original guy said he filled the water. Ate our food. My bean and cheese burrito was meh. Kind of bland with not much cheese, and the cheese it did have was all clumped in one spot, not spread out evenly. My husband got his usual three tacos. He was very unhappy with them today. He upgraded to the homemade tortillas. They feel apart. He said it reminded him of tamale masa, they just crumbled apart. CONSISTENCY matters. We left unsatisfied and likely will not return. It quickly went from "wow this place is amazing, we found a new awesome taco spot" to "well, that was short lived". I'd also like to mention his 3rd visit with our daughter. They ordered. Waited 25 minutes. Still no food. He asked about it and they never put the ticket in to be made. UGH.

It has great flavor and is one of the things I look forward to every time I come here. My absolute favorite is their green chile pork, which I get as a chile verde wet burrito. It is outstanding. I honestly haven't tried a huge portion of the menu because when I find something I really like, I tend to stick with it--and their chile verde wet burrito is just too good for me to pass up. That said, I've also had their ceviche, which is very good, along with their hard-shell tacos. Even the basics like the rice and beans are consistently good. I try to make it to Enrique's at least once a month, and after dozens of visits, they continue to deliver. Consistency means a lot to me when it comes to a restaurant, and Enrique's has earned my repeat business. Excellent food, excellent salsa, excellent service, and one of my favorite chile verde burritos anywhere. An easy five stars.

What a fun experience! We came to Taco Shore with 3-7 year old girls and 3 overwhelmed moms and the waitress was so patient as we navigated kids picky tastes from the menu. I believe the waitress is the owners daughter, and she handled our train wreck with grace. Now the food! I ordered the 3 shrimp taco plate and I swear, it was so flavorful that I didn't need a side, a sauce or a condiment! The shrimp were fresh and flavorful and I was pleasantly surprised with the fajita veggies keeping the taco moist. Now drinks! After a long day with kids ( and yes we Ubered home) I treated myself to a spicy Cadillac margarita on the rocks. I swear it was the most wonderful sweet/ spicy / sour drink I had. I could not stop drinking it. Needless to say with such good service, outdoor seating, food and drinks, that we are returning this weekend and hope to make it a permanent hang! read more

Service was fine.. Wasn't happy at all with my order though. I ordered a Baja fish burrito. The fish was burned. it was very thinly sliced fish and a thick layer of breading. The white rice was undercooked, not very pleasant to chew... And the black beans were extremely dry. I probably should of mentioned something to waiter but I took one bite and lost my appetite. My boyfriend was done eating by the time a waiter came back around anyway. There goes $10.. read more

Ordered take-out. Great nachos & carnitas. I wish the enchiladas were a bit more exciting or the price. My husband got the tortilla soup with his entree and that was really good but I got a side salad and it basically was crudely chopped iceberg with a sloppy serving of tomatoes and shredded cheese. Not worth the up charge. Overall we really enjoyed our meal! We will be ordering again! P.S. delivery was EXTREMELY quick. (Yay!) read more
