    Peinecillo in Adobo Sauce
    Prentiss M.

    Food was decent! Can't say it's the best just yet until i try a few more items. But atmosphere was chill, can get crowded around lunch time being its between two refineries. The waitress staff could improve slightly, I had a 2 hour lunch meeting and wasn't offered anymore water since i sat down. The guacamole in my opinion is tooooo salty, if you cut back on that a little it'll be just right. The lamb was tender just needs a little more love when seasoning. Happy Yelping

    Best place for fried tilapia in Long Beach at Tepechi Restaurant. Always fresh and lots of food. Excellent salsa and chips with impeccable service. Limited parking so be prepared to drive around and look. Big restaurant with cool decors. Almost 30 percent of the people here get the fried tilapia. Highly recommend.

    My husband took me here a couple weeks ago. I had never been or even heard of it but he went several years back.... It was really good. The steak with the dish that we got was SO flavorful. *yum* I'd definitely go back.

    Birria (Large Original)
    Gee M.

    First time here. Was told about Tepechi from a friend of mine. I ordered a large birria (Original). Food came out out quick. Hot and very flavorful! The broth had a great flavor and the meat was cooked very well. The only thing this palce needs are home-made tortillas. That would give this place 6 stars. Other than that, service was great and the food was delicious. Come check them out.

    We were craving birria and let me tell you this place does not disappoint. They have birria de res y chivo both very delicious. We didn't even take a before picture. The service was great and the environment was very nice. I felt like I was eating in Mexico but missing the Mexico vibes and smells lol. But I loved this place. I will defiantly be coming back here. Really good micheladas as well

    Very delicious and good quality food will definitely be coming back and definitely recommend

    DELICIOUS!! From the chips and salsa to my entree, everything was phenomenal. Service was great, the server was attentive and did a great job serving me and my party while serving other larger parties at the same time. The ambiance is relaxing with good Spanish music playing in the background. Thanks!

    Today was my first time here, I had the chimichanga. It was delicious. The service was great and the place was very nice and friendly. The restaurant was playing great Spanish music. Would definitely come back again! The drinks were tasty.

    As someone who didn't grow up eating Mexican food I was never very fond of it. That being said Tepechi is around the corner from my job and is our go to whenever we have guest visit. It's probably not a stretch to say that they are one of my favorite restaurants not just Mexican food but in general. Food is very authentic and portions are generous. I haven't tried many different dishes because I always get stuck on Birria but everything I've ever gotten was delicious. Definitely stop in if you're in the area and looking for a good meal that won't break the bank.

    Pretty good food here! I got the steak picado which came with rice/beans and peppers/onions! A good solid plate! Also got the guacamole which tasted a bit salty but manage to finish it! I believe the birria is the star of the show here so i will try that next time! I should of known by looking at people plates it was mostly the birria. They have 3 different kinds of birria meat cuts i seen to go in the soups. The place is HUGE inside and they have a tent for outside dining which i don't think they're using anymore due to covid restrictions. It was pretty busy inside on a wends so they get alot of customers! It's right across the street from santa fe importers. Nice people running this place! Parking around the back area which was good and makes your feel safe. Yes i will go back again and try different items!

    Chile Verde Burrito, chicken Quesadilla, 2 Enchiladas with Guacamole and Sour Cream Combo
    Mymy L.

    Food did not disappoint ! Probably the best chicken quesadilla i've had in a while. Wet chile verde burrito was absolutely delicious (beans on the side) Came here after a night out & got exactly what I wanted + more. Guac was fresh too. Will definitely be back to try more here!

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.

    Spectacular Mexican food! I'm so glad TikTok recommended this place because I may have never…read morestumbled upon it otherwise! I stopped by on a Friday afternoon and waited about 20 minutes for a table. The wait was well worth it because each dish offered an explosion of flavors. My favorite dish was the birria, with the salmon ceviche as a close second. The mole was great too, but I'd say the other two dishes were more memorable and something I'd return for. I can't recommend the birria enough, as the flavors were reminiscent of what I've had in Mexico, very authentic. The space is small and can feel a bit tight, but sometimes the best food comes from these types of "hole in the wall" places. Ultimately, I'd say give Lola's a try! You can't go wrong with Mexican food!

    Not impressed by anything we ordered, given the competition locally…read more I will drive to Acton, CA (124 miles round trip) for their chicken tortilla soup ... bringing back 3 quarts of it after our meal is done. The soup here lacks the tastebud awakening zip that Don Chato's has. The ono fish taco experience was my fault... I hate fried fish taco, so I had lofty expectations, but due to the fact that I do not prefer corn tortillas, guacamole or raw onions, led to much disappointment since It has all three. Totally my fault. The butternut enchilada was lacking in the expected savoriness... this is being polite. The potato taquito was okay... but I am not a taquito person, so if you are I would seriously encourage you to try it. The star of the table was the Mexican corn. It may not compete with Cornman in Lincoln Heights, but it was decent. I scraped off the onions and toppings on the ono tacos, put the fish on the flour tortillas that another person didn't want, and topped the fish with refried beans, street corn and a but if the chicken tortilla soup broth to make due. When you are driving more than 30 minutes for this experience, I think you would agree that it was less that a proper way to celebrate a birthday. Oh and if there isn't any street parking. It'll cost you about 9 bucks in the lot. I didn't use the restroom, so I cant review its cleanliness. Our waitress was flawless taking orders and delivering food The restaurant itself has a great layout and an outdoor courtyard complete with propane heaters and umbrellas - I loved that... but my favorite part was out front, no not the seating area in the former parking spaces, nope... it was the collapsed woman on the sidewalk, walking her dog with snot running out of her nose because she was huffing some aerosol can of whatever. This truly set the mood upon arrival. Two stars for being close to a lot of other food choices to visit afterward.

Palapa next door offers the same food menu but has more drink options. Many opted for outdoor seating on the terrace due to the gorgeous views, but not wanting to wait we agreed to indoor seating. The interior of the restaurant is also very beautiful. The bathrooms were too dark for my tastes though. Our waitress was absolutely phenomenal, super friendly and anticipating all of our needs (water refills, leftover containers, etc.). Service overall by all staff was friendly. We were actually presently surprised with the taste of the food, thinking it might be more Americanized but they actually had very authentic and tasty totopos (tortilla chips). The tomato salsa that came with the chips was also very refreshing. We asked for hot sauce too and the house habanero salsa really packed a punch! We ordered carne asada nachos, pork belly chilaquiles (from the brunch menu), a breakfast burrito, poke, and steamed clams. The steamed clams came in a rich tomato broth and the breakfast burrito was massive. The poke was just okay and the chilaquiles a bit too soggy for me, and the carne asada nachos a bit dry. Nonetheless, presentation and portion sizes were respectable. The last comment is that food here is quite pricey but that reflects the likely high rent of a restaurant in 2nd and PCH. Ola still exceeded expectations and provided a more than pleasant meal.

If you can afford a steak, you eat the steak, if not cut that one steak and make burritos not much meat, make tacos, less meat, make flautas/taqueros, less than that quesadillas with some meat. You get what i mean. But this high end Mexican restaurant made me a liar! This high end Mexican restaurant doesn't make poor food, this place make food for kings! Every dish is savory every order id above and beyond, to even sit in this wonderful place you feel the like this is what the rich must eat in Mexico, no my friend this is elegance the service is as if your a celebrity and they are working had to keep your business. When you come, and I hope you do, come with respect because the food earned it.

First, we asked for a spicier salsa, and we were told that it could only be served with our meal. What's the point of getting the salsa with the meal when we wanted to enjoy it with our chips beforehand? They also used to offer free horchata refills, but apparently that is no longer the case. Unfortunately, they also got our food order wrong. We specifically ordered beef enchiladas, and my husband repeated the order three times, yet we received shrimp enchiladas instead. Overall, the experience just isn't what it used to be. It feels like they are nickel-and-diming customers for everything, even something as simple as salsa or a horchata refill. I understand they are renovating the front of the building, and perhaps the cost of the renovations is contributing to these changes, but the customers shouldn't feel the impact of that. The staff at the front may look nice and presentable, but unfortunately, the overall service doesn't feel as customer-focused as it once did. At this point, I would recommend looking for another restaurant where the service and hospitality are more consistent and where you don't feel like you're being charged for every little thing.

Unfortunately, the huevos rancheros were pretty underwhelming. They came with two over-easy eggs over a tortilla that was very soggy. I personally prefer the tortilla to have some crispness so you can actually bite into it and get that contrast in texture, but this one was completely soft underneath the eggs and sauce. The ranchero sauce itself was very basic and plain. It wasn't bad, but there wasn't anything particularly flavorful or memorable about it. The beans were fine, but I didn't care for the rice. My partner's beef sandwich was actually decent and probably the better of the two dishes, although it still wasn't anything extraordinary. He also ordered a Paloma, but unfortunately that was disappointing as well. He could really taste what seemed like lower-quality alcohol, and overall the drink tasted mostly like watered-down Squirt rather than a well-balanced Paloma. Overall, nothing was necessarily terrible, but the experience was pretty average. I was hoping for more flavor and better textures from the food, and a better-balanced cocktail. Unfortunately, nothing really stood out enough to make the meal memorable. The staff and waiter were nice and pleasant and restrooms were clean.
