First time eating here ,went for the birria,because I'm a birria afficionado ,the service was Exellent ,i was greeted when I arrive and after I was seated, I wasn't even there two or three minutes when I already had in my table hot chips and excellent salsa and within another 2 or 3 minutes the server JOSE LIUS WAS EXELLENTE!! came and took my order and I will say about 5 minutes ,there it was my birria. The portion was very filling and The Taste was good, the only reason I give four stars it's because they didn't have homemade tortillas. I'm still looking for birria aguascalientes Style , but this birria was very good. read more

Came for breakfast, service was quick and the tortilla chips were nice and warm. We had huevos chilaquiles and huevos rancheros. The portions were big, let us just say we were on our way to San Diego, we didn't have our next meal till 5pm in San Diego. The it self were delicious and very authentic. You'll never run out of coffee. read more

Authentic Mexican cuisine! Great selection of fresh dishes, aguas frescas, salsas, & the best coffee de la olla.

I had the lunch special chicken & spinach burrito, it was very good. The size of the burrito was good, I could barely finish it. My coworkers ordered the Birrieria (goat) & they said it was very good. read more

We loved coming here. It is one of the top birria places and they do not disappoint. It's one of the places where you'd think your mom made it. Highly recommend! read more

Be careful they wanted me to tip the waitress $20 for the bad job she did because its by law

Birrieria Tepechi has been open for 2 years now but has only 15 reviews? Well I think it's time to put the word out and put this place on the "Yelp Map"! I'm still showing 6 guys from Japan around and they wanted Mexican food for dinner, so after a co-worker suggested this place, we went to check it out. LOCATION: They are on the S.E. corner of Santa Fe Ave & Cowles St, 3 streets (not blocks) North of Anaheim Street. (1/2 mile West of the 710 Fwy). TRIVIA: For those who don't know (like me) the first word in the name more or less means "Goat stew" and the 2nd is the city in Mexico the owner is from. PARKING: They have a decent sized private lot, so parking wasn't a problem. DÉCOR: The place looks pretty large. Lighter colored walls with dark wood trim, tables and chairs. There are a number of flat screen TV's on the wall, tuned to various (mostly sports) channels, but the sound is not loud enough to bother anyone. SERVICE: This is a family owned and run restaurant, the father owns it and the two sons work here. Our server "Alex" was really great! He was energetic and made sure he was never far away if we needed anything! FOOD: What is a meal at a Mexican restaurant without chips & salsa, right? Well this place did not dissapoint, they fry their own chips and make the two different salsas they serve with the chips. Both salsas have great flavor and a one has a bit more "heat" than the other. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/birrieria-tepechi-long-beach?select=WULQbzCG01NK5oU7M_i8QA#KRGbR3MMNj1GTkd6SN_PwQ To start we order Nachos w/beef. Quite tasty, as nachos are, and everyone enjoyed them. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/birrieria-tepechi-long-beach?select=WULQbzCG01NK5oU7M_i8QA#aTtWC7ycZ4W0rKopGv1VmQ Next I wanted the group to try Cevichi, but the only way thay have it on the menu is on a "tostada". I ask Alex if there was a way to just get a bowl of cevichi to eat with the chips. After asking his brother, he said "no problem" and before we knew it, this is in front of me. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/birrieria-tepechi-long-beach?select=WULQbzCG01NK5oU7M_i8QA#C3wilkPTqqRh2ztAsE6Lzg It was very fresh and very tasty! Everyone ordered an entree to try and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their Mexican food dinner experience. The different dishes were: 1 Al Pastor taco and 1 Chicharrón taco http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/birrieria-tepechi-long-beach?select=WULQbzCG01NK5oU7M_i8QA#urZv-ko0M6us9yK07xmsog A Beef burrito. Unfortunately for Sato-san, after the chips & salsa, Nachos and Cevichi, he was only able to eat 2 bites and that was it! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/birrieria-tepechi-long-beach?select=WULQbzCG01NK5oU7M_i8QA#nWrjvhHcOvWAQw5CueZ32g Chili Relleno & enchilada combo. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/birrieria-tepechi-long-beach?select=WULQbzCG01NK5oU7M_i8QA#0-7v3RoTOPP5gjOCGQ_5wQ Chicken enchilada combo. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/birrieria-tepechi-long-beach?select=WULQbzCG01NK5oU7M_i8QA#hrC58Nack4-G26cPvgyf6g Chicken fajitas combo. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/birrieria-tepechi-long-beach?select=WULQbzCG01NK5oU7M_i8QA#6tpEdIMlaIJWl0pvgMMiIw Chicken & spinach enchilada combo. (my choice). This was very good! The combo of those flavors with that green sauce, YUM! The rice was not dry and pretty tasty. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/birrieria-tepechi-long-beach?select=WULQbzCG01NK5oU7M_i8QA#AfL4oSFyi-EiQtD6dRXaFA and 2 chicken tacos. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/birrieria-tepechi-long-beach?select=WULQbzCG01NK5oU7M_i8QA#zyWa6TsRCobVKdVPzs-kCg I also ordered a Flan (to go) which we all shared later. This was huge hit with the group and I have to say it was pretty awesome! OVERALL: To be honest, when picking a type of cuisine for a meal, Mexican food is not my 1st choice, or 2nd, or 3rd or.... well you get the point. However I thoroughly enjoyed the food and hospitality here and will NOT hesitate to come back! It's VERY good! read more

The Birria at this restaurant was very delicious. I tried the Birria Adobada plate and it had an amazing flavor to it and the Consommé was also very good with a lot of flavor. The staff was also very friendly and attentive to everyone in the restaurant. I would definitely make the drive from Los Angeles to Long Beach again. read more

This is the first time coming to this restaurant I would say Food was good but overpriced . My husband and kids they liked their food I was not that happy My 7 mares wasn't what I expected . The place was very clean and service was ok. read more

I'm not your typical bean-eating, tortilla-wrapping, Tapatio-on-everything kind of Mexican. So when I crave Mexican food, my fiance is only too happy to oblige. We passed up this spot a while back and it caught my attention because I enjoy birria. The real kind, with goat. Problem is, I'm always comparing it to the kind I've had in my dad's home town of Sayula, Jal., MX. So we decided to give it a try. We started with agua fresca, jamaica and horchata, queso fundido, enchiladas, and birria de chivo en caldo. So here's the rundown... Agua fresca - Jamaica & horchats, both legit & on point! So good! I had the jamaica, not too sweet and not too tart, perfect! He had the horchata, OMG soooo good! You could taste the "homemade" in it. Queso fundido - For those that don't know, it's chorizo smothered in melted cheese and baked. Hot, ooey-gooey, deliciousness! Enchiladas - He ordered the 2-enchilada dinner plate, 1/chicken & 1/beef. I didn't taste but he said they were both good. Although, he definitely enjoyed the beef one way more. No joke, he closed his eyes and smiled when he ate it! Rice & beans were cool. Birria - OMG my mouth just watered as I typed that! hahahaaaaa... It was on point! Not exactly like back in the mother-land, but thee best I've had in the states. I only had the small and it was the perfect amount. The goat wasn't gamy at all. We're definitely going back! Peace! read more

The food is super good. The birria adobado is one of my favorites. The place is beautifully decorated. I have cousins who drive from north long beach to come eat here every sunday. The wait is always long on the weekends but it's worth it. read more

I must say first of all i'm not really big on Birria....from attending alot of Mexican parties where Birria is often served i learned to have a distaste for Birria. However from having some very good Birria from time to time i always seem to have a urge every once in a while so i decided to visit this spot for lunch. I must say that this is truly some of the best Birria that have every tasted. Meat was nice and soft and the broth was not oily at all like some places. I orderd the regular size and had wished i had ordered the large. I haven't tasted the rest of the menu but if Birria is what you are looking for this is defenitly the place... read more

Now this is the spot you want to be at for mexican food...they serve to you really hot and fresh, for those of you that dont like spicy chip n salsa than this is not for you. I ordered different kind of tacos from there with freshley hand made tortilla OMG it was awesome..will be back soon :) read more

If you're looking for a great authentic Mexican kitchen, then Tepechi Restaurant is the place for you. Their specialty, the Birria Adobada, is a mixture of lamb meat smothered in a mildly spicy pepper adobo sauce. The dish is perfectly paired with a warm broth (consome) that is flavored to perfection with Mexican spices. I've been coming to this place for years and the quality of their food has remained the same. They never fail in capturing the essence and flavors of great, authentic Mexican food. read more

Such good spinach enchiladas! And very friendly and helpful staff. We will definitely eat here again when we are in the area

Found myself down the street & this was the only place open locally for food. Nice & clean inside. Pleasant female got my drink order quickly. Male server took my food order, chicken chimichanga. Food came out hot in 10 minutes & was very good. Only issue I had was the male server dropped my food off, then never came back until he had the bill ready. Rating here came down due to service or lack there of. Food was a 4+. read more

I don't like birria de chivo but mom says it's the best I usually have costillas de puerco con nopales and all their aguas frescas are good the beans are the bomb just like my grandmas and the hot sauce for the chips are also very good. read more

It's difficult to get authentic home cooked meals on the road. This place seemed so much better than hone cooking. Everything is hand made in house, I knew when I got hot chips and tangy chunky salsa that this was going to be a good experience. I had the goat soup with fresh floor tortillas and hinge made super creamy flan for dessert. Industrial neighborhood wins no points, but once you see the restoraunt in person you will see it's like stepping into a nice part of Mexico. read more

Meh, after such a long remodel you would expect so much more. From the mismatched wine paintings to the glass beer portraits, nothing makes this place inviting. B for effort, D for execution. The parking spaces are about 2 ft away from the table window, separated by an 8 inch wall. . Now, you may say "so what", however, while we were seated, one of the cars outside our window puts his car in drive instead of reverse. He was inches from the deng window! Near death experience #53. Anyway, the tortillas are packaged, or taste like it anyway. Their agua natural tastes like sugar water... and the huevos a la mexicana were uhhhh, bland. My sister did say the birria was tasty, but... it is a birrieria, I would hope they at least get that right. read more

Best birria! This place was located on Avalon in Wilmington. Miss having them closer to home but it's always worth it to drive to Long Beach for the best birria. The micheladas are also perfect. read more

Great little spot with an excellent selection of Mexican/American favorites. The specialty of the house is goat! The lunch specials are a great value - huge plates plus a soup to start. Service is casual but attentive, and restaurant is well-lit with plenty of natural light. read more

Love the food but the service is awful. Food takes a really long time. They should hire more people.

Great for lunch. Tasty food. Warm chips. Aztec soup yummy. Tasty entrees. Food would stand up to china, tablecloths, and soft lights. Its plastics and TVs in all four corners, commensurate with great prices. read more

Tepechi Restaurant - It's a friendly place! - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

If you're craving some delicious birria, this is the place to go. If you plan to go on the weekend, there will be a long wait, but well worth it. Never been there on a weekday but they also offer Caldo De Res, for those days you are feeling a little down, it's a great pick-me-up. Mariachi on Sudays, so it's pretty loud. Has free parking but if its packed, there's plenty of street parking. read more

We entered around 2pm on a Wednesday. The place was rather empty since I think we just missed the lunch rush. The place was clean and nice, felt like it was an older style place. My friend was interested in some Birria, and I haven't had it before. He brought me here because he said it would be amazing. To my surprise, it surely was! The broth was just thick enough, and ridiculously flavorful, and most importantly the meat was amazingly tender and delicious. The icing on the cake, however, was the flan. Mind you, I LOVE FLAN. The server asked if we wanted dessert and I asked what they had, she said Flan and a few other things, but I stopped listening after I heard flan. Lo and behold this amazing looking picture perfect flan arrives on a plate. I take one bite.. I'm in heaven. I knew I loved flan before, but I loved flan that wasn't even amazing delicious flan. This place has definitely set the bar for what I believe to be flan is now. I expressed my appreciation for it and the server told me it was home made. read more
