    Ice cold Modelo
    Steven T.

    On this busy Friday night when we arrived we were seated right away. Our table was along the edge of the walking path with a picture perfect view of the marina. The staff was friendly and attentive. The drinks we ordered arrived ice cold and delicious. The food was cooked to perfection. For an authentic meal, this place is definitely worth trying. They offer indoor and outdoor patio seating that can accommodate small to large groups. Give them a try.

    Guacamole, cilantro lime salad with shrimp and chicken mole plate

    The service was friendly as always and the food was delicious. I'm glad that this place has stayed consistently good. Food came out hot and everything had lots of flavor. The cilantro lime salad had jumbo shrimp. Can't go wrong with any of the dishes.

    The service was good, it was pretty empty but at first it seems like you're going to get good Mexican food with some good margaritas or cocktails. It was very plain flavor food. Even the guacamole has no lemon, spices, or salt. The chips were crunchy and good but had no salsa that went well with it. The resturant might need new recipes or a new chef. No cocktails and margaritas could be better

    Happy hour prices + view of the marina are fantastic. We've only gone during happy hour because we just love the outdoor patio & the prices. No wait at 5pm on a Thursday. Patio: covered on top with heaters. They pull down additional side covers along the patio when it's super windy, so sitting outside is still very comfortable no matter the weather. Inside: dim and moody lighting. Food: 4 fish tacos, chips/salsa (so fresh & crispy), taquitos, pulled pork sliders (skip), michelada and marg for $40. Service: good. Food comes out fast. Definitely recommend for casual fare with great views!

    It had no idea how good this place was. We had stopped here after whale watching with a large group of friends. We were surprised when someone sent over guacamole and queso to our table which was amazing. We were there for happy hour and the margaritas were reasonable and tasty. We ordered and array of food Nachos, tacos and burritos. We left full and satisfied. If you're ever in the area you should stop over for happy hour and you won't be disappointed.

    Came on LB grand prix weekend and it was surprisingly not too busy. No wait to be seated and food came out in a good amount of time. Our service was friendly and attentive. Guacamole was delicious I definitely recommend, as well as their shrimp tacos. Outdoor (patio) and indoor seating was available, and place looked clean. Perfect sport for a casual dinner or lunch for some good food!

    Tequila Jacks is a lovely place to go for lunch or dinner. Just being located at Shoreline Village in Long Beach is a plus. Indoor or outdoor dining is great. The food is good and plentiful. I couldn't believe how much chicken was in my enchilada, tamale and taco. The ambiance is great and the customer service is great. There is plenty of parking available. Enjoy shopping at the specialty shops after your good meal.

    Went on a Saturday afternoon and there was no wait, with plenty of seating available both indoors and outdoors. The menu offers a wide variety of drinks and dishes. It leans heavily toward Mexican food but also includes some American options like burgers and buffalo wings. I ordered a combination plate, which comes with 2-3 items of your choice, rice and beans, and Mexican corn pudding. I chose the pork tamales and taquitos. The pork tamales were pretty good, but the taquitos were bland and I didn't end up finishing them. The sides were decent overall, and the Mexican corn pudding was my favorite part of the meal. We also got unlimited chips and dip, which was a nice bonus. For drinks, I ordered the "Scooby Snack," a cocktail made with rum, melon liqueur, pineapple juice, and whipped cream. It came in a huge cup and was a great value for the price. It tasted good too. Overall, it's a solid spot for food and drinks, and they even offer happy hour, which makes it worth checking out.

    Veggie burrito
    Lorna B.

    I'm sorry to give a poor review because tequila Jack's has often been a nice standby when I am in Long Beach. The location is excellent as it is right on Shoreline Drive in the middle of the village. You can sit outside and have a view of the water, which is always delightful. I believe most people come here because of the location and not necessarily the food and drinks. But I make it a habit to go on Tuesdays because they have an excellent deal on taco Tuesdays. Tacos are only $1.50, an excellent deal. In the past, I have had delicious vegetarian tacos. I was a little disappointed when I saw that those were no longer on the menu. I ordered the fish tacos, and I must say I was disappointed. The quality seemed to be much worse than what I remembered in the past. You might be thinking that should be expected for the price and you might be right. The service was very poor. I could never find my server and after an extended period of trying to catch anyone's eye, I chose to walk up to the hostess and ask them to send over my server. In fairness to them, it was an extremely busy evening . It was taco Tuesday after all. But I do not think I will be returning anytime soon after my experience yesterday.

    Last time I came was 4 years ago. Tacos are still bomb ass fuck. Drinks nice and good with a little umph. Our waitor was chill and super cool his name is Peter.

    I haven't ever been to the area. So I checked out reviews for the restaurants. I narrowed it down to the fancy seafood restaurant, Yard House or TJ's. Walking by Tequila Jack's, the outdoor space looked great and the menu pricing wasn't bad either. The service was great. Our server was attentive without being overwhelming. Drinks & chips stayed full. Wait time for our entrees weren't bad either. The food tasted amazing! Based on reviews I thought it could be hit or miss. But we all enjoyed our meals. Husband got the carnitas plate. He really liked it. MIL got the chili verde. She commented on the house made tortillas several times. I got the 2 enchilada plate - Rojo cheese & verde chicken. Both tasted so good! One kid got the asada burrito and actually at 2/3rds of it. The other kid got to kids chicken tenders plate. It was a lot of food: 2-3 chicken strips, fries, 2 pieces of cantaloupe, and a small churro. The chips were delicious! The salsa had. Ore of a kick than I thought it would going off of looks. The guac is delicious was well. The added veg made it super fresh. It was all very good. I would definitely go back.

    This is the beef quesadilla which.  It was good but greasy.
    Rodolfo D.

    The ambiance was good but the service was bad. I had the Strawberry Margarita which I felt was not made without the heart. We were not hungry then so I ordered the beef quesadilla which was good cost about $18.00 plus's 2 drinks and had a cupcake for my friend's birthday was nice but the bill total was $88.25. That is too pricey . If you don't mind over spending but got so disappointed in the service. I do not recommend this place of business. Happy New Year! Kindness forward one person at a time.

    My sis was in town on business so I thought we'd stop in here across from her hotel for a late night taco run and drinks. We were seated fairly quickly and was served by Jose. He made sure to make us feel comfortable and he was very helpful in accommodating us with our order. For a Tuesday night, the place had a good amount of guests. The mood inside was very cozy and moody with the low lighting and listening to the buzz of people enjoying their night out. It was such a good place to stop especially with the amount of options Long Beach has to offer, this was the perfect choice. I dont find myself in Long Beach much but would definitely come back here again. Thank u Tequila Jack!

It's normally taco Tuesday or dinner. It wasn't busy when we arrived. Mainly everyone was seated outside which we wanted a table as well. There was one that we were interested in and asked if we could have it which the waitress working was ok with. But it needed clearing up. It took a while for someone to come out and clear and clean the table up. It was fine waiting but it was like did someone forget about us. Anyways. We got seated and then the waiting continued. It could be that they were short staff but it seemed like there was only one person working. It took a while for someone to finally come back and acknowledge us and take our order. After that the chips and salsa were brought out. Once we ordered the drinks it was easier to place everything together. Menu for happy hour is pretty limited. A few drinks and beer on drafts and for food, maybe 6 items on the menu. Went with an order of the street corn which was quite tasty. An order of the mole chicken nachos and the queso dip with barria. Out of the three, the queso dips and the street corn were great. Nachos were good but nothing really major. The flavors of everything were quite tasty. Dishes were 12.00 an item. For happy hour, it was decent and what we had was good. The service was pretty slow at the beginning. Only the front patio and inside seating was available as the back patio wasn't open. We did start to see other staff walking in so maybe there was only one staff during the time.

    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.

Seeing people going in and out which I knew it was a restaurant. Last night we started off with drinks at the speakeasy next door. The two places share restrooms and that's how I found out about this place. Let me say it was a vibe. The first thing you notice from the back, the bar area and Photo Booth. And the live DJ keeping the place on its feet. We ended up wanted to check it out as it was a full restaurant and bar. Friday night without a reservation, spoke with hostess which they could accommodate 6 of us in a bit. Still had to close out at the other place before. The restaurant has a cool vibe with the main dining area in front, bar area towards the back side and on the opposite site is where the DJ booth was. Sam was our waitress who took very good care of us. Very sweet, friendly and of course attentive. Made sure that we were well taken cared of and if anything was needed she was there. It's a cool Mexican restaurant with a cool vibe to match. The place did get lively and was pretty full. You had parties up and dancing and enjoying themselves. Anyway, food and drinks. Started off with some spicy margaritas. Wow, they were strong but good. You had to sip versus drink... lol... Bartender was not playing and in a good way. The menu is somewhat limited compared to other restaurants but what was offered all looked amazing. A modern twist to Mexican food but still with the amazing authentic flavors. Instead of a meal we opted for à la carte and shared everything. Also was informed that the dishes are like tapas and great for sharing. Chips and salsa were brought out which both the chips and salsa were excellent. An order or the aguachille which had that nice sour taste with the lime juice perfectly balanced for the shrimp and trimmings. Served with tostada. The shrimp ceviche, another wonderful dish. Nicely marinaded in the lime juice was very flavorful and also served with tostada. An order of the enchiladas, came with three but we split it for 6 of us. The cheese and filling was very good. The molcajete served in a volcanic bowl stuffed with different meat, cactus, cheese all combined to create an amazing dish full of flavors. A must have and lastly the adobado hamachi collar, yellowtail. Very tasty but did have a fishy taste. Yes it's fish but still. Quite tasty and plentiful. Overall food and vibe was great. The place was definitely lively in the evening. We can finally say we've been and tried some amazing dish. It's a place that worth coming back for more. Parking is a little crazy as residential is always packed. There's a lot across the street which they do utilize but it's can be a bit crowded as well.
