Ambiance was great. Place was packed but thats my scene. Service was great since it was a team effort. Food itself.. loved it. Chile colorado?! Spicy af but they make sure to look after you and give you a taste before deciding. So i tried it and yes. Yes the next 50 times I order it too. With that.. i'll be back at least 50 times since i announced it lol. read more

Tequila Jack's was very crowded on a Wednesday night. It appears to be a popular spot for the locals and tourists alike. That's OK though because the restaurant is large with ample seating for big groups. They also have a large outdoor seating area. You really can't beat the views. We were seated fairly quickly. I really enjoyed the blue lighting and artwork within the restaurant and outdoors. Our meals were served quickly. Our waiter provided top-notch service and checked on us several times throughout the meal, never forget forgetting to refill our drinks. The food was really good. We all enjoyed our dishes and there were four of us. I can't forget to mention the chips and salsa! We really enjoyed that and went through a few baskets. I would definitely recommend this restaurant as a place to try if you're in Long Beach. However, don't go here if you're looking for a quiet dinner where you can really have a deep conversation. It's a very loud restaurant. read more

Had the shrimp burrito... it definitely did not have grilled shrimp... was more like boiled shrimp, no flavor at all... there wasn't any "thing layer of beans" inside either... just the boiled shrimp, onions (that were not grilled either) and the crema... it lacked in flavor, even with the sauce it came with! I wish I took a photo of the inside but I couldn't even eat it... gave it to my bf who felt the same way but doesn't like to waste food... it was just disappointing... also had the pina colada, it was good but tasted more like a virgin drink... read more

Service was great, very attentive. Ambiance wasn't particularly unique, but was very comfortable with a hybrid indoor/outdoor setup We went during happy hour, fajitas can easily feed 2 people, the table chips and salsa were fantastic, the only gripe I have is I wish the fish taco had a cream sauce, it only had a dry slaw, but all the food we got was more than good read more

I went with friends for Taco Tuesday and ate nothing. I'm gluten free and there was zero I could eat on the entire menu except for a salad (with no protein) which I wasn't going to pay $17 for. All of their proteins are marinaded in non-gluten free sauce/spices. I'm giving 2 stars only because my friends enjoyed the Happy Hour menu and prices. In this day and age restaurants can do better but if they cannot, at minimum they should communicate this on their menu. read more

Amazing food and service. Perfect everything we go the ambiance is amazing too. The drinks are also good.

Brought friends who are visiting town on a Tuesday and it was fun! It was taco Tuesday so tacos are only $2 and the margarita I think $6.. it's happy hour all day and the starters and sides were all great. Though they don't prepare the guacamole on your table, we still got to order made fresh and served on our table. The servers were great and helpful. Since I came with friends from overseas, we requested if we can transfer to the table close to the patio so we can enjoy the view. They graciously moved our stuff. The food was great and the price not too bad for a cool, sit in authentic Mexican place. We took a stroll along the shoreline to check out local shops and it my friends enjoyed every moment of it. read more

Today, one of my favorite Dr's was scheduled to work with us at my facility. We had a good day in clinic and decided to meet up after work for dinner. Our choices were steak in Anaheim or Tequila Jack's. I checked out the menu here and craved the chicken enchiladas de Mole. I worked an appetite after a 12 hour shift with work, so I was excited and ready to eat something delicious. Driving through the rain, finally got here, my Dr had the table ready and I was ready to order. The wait was nothing, surprise. The place was crowded, its downtown Long Beach. It's expected. Anyway, Chips were okay... salsa was okay. I ordered water and the chicken enchiladas de mole. Traditionally, mole is between spicy and sweet or more mildly spicy. But this plate came and the food was too sweet. I did not like that. Of course I ate them, I didn't want to make a big deal with my doc there. They come with beans, but I pass on that. Substitute the beans for rice. I'm giving this experience a one star. Just because the food. We come for the food. The service adds up but the food has to be good. I'm sure they have great food , I'll come back and re review for other food experiences. read more

Tequila Jack's - Chicken Enchiladas de Mole with more rice vs beans - Bars Near Me - Long Beach, California

Had a pretty good experience at this establishment. The hubster and I ordered appetizers before dinner. Often times we order appetizers then a meal and it ends up being too much food. Anyway we had chicken wings and potato skins they were honestly just average, nothing to write home to Mom about. However, the drinks were amazing, had the house margaritas and they were Amazing. I would recommend this place for drinks, the food was just average. read more

Food was great, service was awesome. The staff was very accommodating especially Angel, our server. Only thing is it's too loud and noisy inside. I would recommend their Mahi mahi, cajun style. The mahi mahi tastes fresh without the fishy flavor, and it comes with a side of veggies. I think their Cajun sauce needs a little bit more spice and flavor but that's probably just me being more accustomed to spicy food. It's worth coming back to try their other dishes. read more

I came here shortly after arriving into town. I was hungry and found this place on Yelp! They have a lunch menu and I ordered from that menu. I ordered the Chorizo con Huevos, and the chips and salsa were complimentary. The salsa was spicy, and I love spicy food! The chorizo was dry and had a burnt taste to it. The rice was a bit bland and needed more flavoring. I was hungry, and didn't want to send it back. The service was good and the ambiance was excellent! Our server made sure I had everything I needed, and the restaurant overlooks the boats in the marina. I would try to come back and check out another dish when I am in the area next time! read more

A good friend of mine recommended Tequila Jacks due to the proximity to the Queen Mary where he and his Wife were staying while waiting for his cruise. The staff was nice enough to help get a table for our group and helped find a decent location for us inside the restaurant. The restaurant is nice and the decorations as well as the paintings are unique and I recommend this for large parties that want to celebrate a birthday or a simple get together. I asked for the pollo in mole that is the house specialty and enjoyed the chips and guacamole as an appetizer. The rest of our party enjoyed the combos that everyone seemed to be enjoying. One of the main attractions of the house are the specialty drinks as well as the good food that will not disappoint. If you feel the need to try something good and unique try them and make sure to bring a healthy appetite. read more

A wonderful spot for marking special occasions. The ambiance is vibrant and stylish--ideal for a night out or date night. Not really suited for little ones, get a sitter for this one read more

The food was good, our waiter was excellent and attentive! We had 5 people and the wait time was only 20 minutes.

The only time I visit Tequila Jacks is during the week when it's the least busiest. The food and drinks are always decent. I'm definitely there for the restaurants atmosphere, more than the actual food. read more

Awesome happy hour and Bryce was great, excellent service. Made our night very good had a great time.

Ordered the salmon here. It was not good at all. It tasted like gold fish tank water. Worst experience ever. I would give this place a negative star but I can't. Terrible food!!! read more

I would give 3.5 stars overall. We were seated promptly on the outdoor patio when we arrived. Service was fairly quick for drinks. Food took a bit longer. I noticed many servers hustling. We asked ours for water 3 times and she never brought it so I asked another server who was passing by if we could get water and he brought some instantly. The drinks were awesome. I had the Long Beach Peach and it was so good. I actually had 2 of them. One friend got the happy hour margarita, another got a Peach margarita. Food was mediocre at best. Had a chicken quesadilla that had a ton of cheese but hardly any chicken. Friends said the guacamole was great. Chicken nachos were ok. Drinks are their shining point. Oh! We had potato skins that were on happy hour menu. I've never had blander potato skins in my life. They were only edible if you added salt. read more

Another Taco Tuesday that I couldn't pass up! $1.50 tacos is definitely quite the steal nowadays. I got the Baja Fish & Asada Tacos and Buffalo Wings with a 20 oz House Margarita Rocks. The drink was part of their drink specials for the day and boy were they big and the right amount of strong haha. The Complimentary Chips & Salsa was one of my favorites because of the salsa. It had a little spice kick to it and I loved putting that onto my tacos for extra flavor. I thought my fish taco tasted good, but the asada tacos were definitely my least favorite. Not only was it dry, it was spicy to where I couldn't really taste the asada. It was like the spice was the only flavor and the asada wasn't seasoned at all. The wings were a given that it would be amazing. Perfectly sauced; I just wish they also gave out veggie sticks. I wouldn't mind coming back here to eat, drink, and chill with my friends. Keep in mind the parking spot and to get your ticket validated by your server. I still had to pay a portion of it even after validation, but it was only a few bucks. read more

Food is okay. But the mild salsa is Olala.... Service was better this time. Oswaldo was our service. Staff are not attentive as they should. Refilling water check how are you doing. Ambiance is good, is by the water. Happy hour they do have it! Check the hours please. The Cadillac margarita is the bomb. Please work on the customer service ethic, a little bit better. Thank you. read more

Food was absolutely terrible here. Nothing had seasoning or flavor. Steak and chicken were so incredibly DRY. Drinks were okay kinda hard to mess up drinks either way. Service was okay nothing special. Tab was close to $500 and that'll be the last time I go there. Complete was of money. I'd rather eat fast food than ever back there again. This is the Mexican version of apple bees I'd rather it -100/10 if I could. read more

I haven't eaten here in quite some time, I kind of forgot about it... My friend and I did a girls day yesterday and ended up here for lunch. They serve complimentary chips and salsa. They were both really good. The chips were light and crispy. There is a lunch menu (forgot to take a pic) with several options for $13.50. I believe all of them came with beans and rice. I got 2 taquitos. They were beef. Good choice and I would get them again. I definitely want to go back sooner rather than later to check out the happy hour! read more

Tequila Jack's is one of two waterfront restaurants that offers patio dining with a spectacular view of the sunset and lighthouse. It is recommended to make reservations for the patio seating. However, if you prefer immediate seating, you can check the bar just like we did. I absolutely loved the house chips and salsa. The sauce had the perfect balance of kick and sweetness. The service was attentive as I asked for a sepearte salsa and the server brought the salsa along with an additonal bowl of chips. What I ordered: CARNE ASADA FIESTA BOWL (Mixed greens with sautéed red and green bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and Monterey Jack cheese) which came in a giant tortilla bowl filled to the top with greens and protein. Although I couldn't finish the colossal meal at the time, it was only a few bites away from completion. Unfortunately, I eventually had to give up and throw in the towel. read more

Tequila Jack's offers plenty of paid parking with a few hours of validation, which is convenient. We decided to give it a try since Yardhouse had a 45-minute wait. We did sit at the bar so we didn't have to wait and our server was great! We started with a Sangria and an IPA--both drinks were decent, but the food didn't match up, especially for the price. We ordered the combo choice plate with a beef taco and a Baja fish taco, but honestly, I've had better from taco trucks. The shrimp ceviche was a big letdown--there were only 2-3 small pieces of shrimp, and the rest was just filler. The atmosphere was a bit loud, but the patio with a marina view was a nice touch. Unfortunately, I wouldn't return for the food. read more

Given the options available in Shoreline Village for a decently priced meal, I'd definitely go to Tequila Jacks again! I got an appetizer quesadilla as my lunch and it was super filling. Our waiter was incredibly helpful, I believe his name was Rosario! He was one of the most personable and friendly waiters I've had at a restaurant in a long time. There is shaded outdoor seating with a marina view. You can see most of the Shoreline Village while seated outside as well! If you prefer indoor seating, it's dimly lit. If you bring your dog, you can sit outdoors. They also validate parking! There is still a fee with validated parking, but instead of $16 (the daily rate) we paid $2 after validation. read more

I just left this establishment me and my boyfriend ordered our drinks first so we can look at the menu once we decided what we wanted. We got our food literally within five minutes of ordering when our food arrived we immediately noticed a Hair and his beans and cheese I mean, the hair was planted in there but sticking up enough to where we saw it a long, black disgusting hair we told the server immediately and proceeded to just pay for our drinks and leave. Do not eat this. They have hair in their food. I should've took a picture, but I instantly called the server to remove it so that they knew that it wasn't us but something that they did. We told the manager and he disregarded us and just charged me for the drinks he could have at least copped one of them for the inconvenience but no just weird. Do not eat here or if you order the beans good luck. read more

Pregnant sister was craving this place on a Tuesday . And good thing they had the taco Tuesday deal. It's in Long Beach near the pike. You do have to pay for parking but they validate it when you eat at their restaurant and it takes some cents off lol. Anyways it's crowded so be prepared but we did kill time at the arcade . Service was great and our server was Cynthia. Came to check on us and refilled our drinks and chips so thank you. We ordered tacos asada and got chicken strips for $6 and potato skin. Pretty good overall . Ambiance is very festive read more

Our second visit to Tequila Jack's, this time for an early lunch while waiting for the gates to the Coastal County Jam to open up. My wife had the chicken nachos which were far more than one person could handle. I had the chicken quesadilla which was also large and very good. We love sitting outside and people watching every time we're in town, great views and tge Queen Mary out back. California normal pricing and definitely worth a try if you have never been there. read more

Tequila Jack's - Fresh made to order Guacamole - Bars Near Me - Long Beach, California

Quite possibly the worst Mexican food we have ever had. The guacamole was inedible. Chicken tacos had a meat on them that I am not sure if it was chicken or plastic. The "pollo" entree was chicken with a smear of sauce on it. Basically a chicken wing chicken breast. The kids chicken fingers we debated if the color of the chicken was yellow - it wasn't white. The service was there - that's about it. read more

Slightly disappointed with my meal but the margarita kicked my butt! Cadillac margarita was amazing! Definitely worth it but I could only drink one! My taquitos were disappointing. It could have used a little more guacamole and some sour cream. The lettuce was wilty (not that I planned to eat it) but it just looked thrown together. Not a ton of meat in the taquitos. Beans and rice were very flavorful. Service was a bit slow. I'd come back to try the happy hour items but lunch was just ehhhhhh. read more

Very weird even leaving this review because this is usually such a cool stop for a quick bite and a drink. Yesterday i stopped by the cantina area. I sat down for about 15 mins before anyone even acknowledged me. When the server finally did i assumed it was just a busy hour and it wasn't a big issue. But then i sat there for another 10 and realized, i wasn't even offered water or chips and salsa. Actually no one ever came back. I eventually walked out. It was very weird because i love this place. But i won't be going back, made a post about it on my social media and everyone wants me to tag the restaurants name. But it still feels very odd to me that this would even happen here of all places lol very unfriendly happy hour. I encourage you guys to do better. read more

I have been here in ages but the quality has subsided. Poor service and cold food are to blame for that. Came here for taco Tuesday a local favorite but this place left a bad taste in my mouth. We arrived and asked to be settled outside, the host quoted us 45 minutes. Which was fine with us and we proceeded to the bar to grab drinks while we waited for our table to be ready. As soon as I took the first drink of my beer, they were ready to seat us. We had to carry our beers form the bar to our table. The inaccurate wait time should have been a sign. I can understand 15 minute difference but the quote 45 minutes and be seated in less than 5 is a joke. We had a male waiter come up and said he was going to be helping us and never came back and then another waiter ended up taking us. Three stars because the queso fundido was tasty and the chorizo gave it great flavor. Although it didn't come with any sauce and was a little cold. Tacos lacked flavor, the best one was the carnitas taco that tasted like salt. The carne asada taco was not asada just a fatty lean cut of bistec. The ambiance was lacking. It was a beautiful day out but the restaurant didn't feel like a vibe. Lastly, I asked for green sauce for my tacos and I was charged $2.50 for green sauce. Isn't it customary to provide salsa for tacos? Seems like they are nickel and dimming here. $2.50 for seems a little excessive but the worst part was that it was brought out when I had practically finished my tacos. I was on the last bite of my last taco. So the sauce stayed on the table, gone to waste. Also, they must have changed the keg and what should have been a cold beer was room temperature beer in a cold glass for our second round. Overall there are much better taco Tuesday places around with tacos that are full of flavor, not fat. read more
