So I'll admit I'm not the pickiest when it comes to judging food. I thought the food was great although I can't remember if it was chicken or steak fajita. The strawberry lemonade was amazing . The service was also excellent from what I remember. They allowed my friend to wheel his scooter Into the restaurant. The best part about this place is the atmosphere. The harbor being right there in all of the ship and the small shops and restaurants provide an ambiance that made me want to stay longer. Didn't think I would even be leaving this review so I didn't take pics of the food, but I saw a video in my phone that will give you a feel of the atmosphere.

Went here for happy hour and it was such good value! Each app we got only cost $6 and we got chips and salsa for free, plus the server offered us refills twice. On Tuesdays it's even better with $1.50 soft tacos! A must try!

Absolutely Outstanding Experience - Twice In One Trip During a recent trip to Long Beach, CA, I visited Tequila Jack's Restaurant & Cantina not once, but twice—and both visits were absolutely fantastic! From the start, the service was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. The staff made us feel right at home and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. On both visits, we started with the chips and queso, and they were perfect—crispy, warm tortilla chips paired with a rich, creamy queso that had just the right amount of kick. A great way to begin the meal! We couldn’t resist ordering the fajitas again on our second visit—they were that good. Sizzling hot, perfectly seasoned, and served with fresh tortillas and all the classic fixings. Each bite was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The menu offers a wide spectrum of bold, flavorful Mexican dishes, and everything we tried was delicious. Combine that with the lively waterfront setting, and you have the perfect dining spot. Tequila Jack’s checks every box: incredible food, flawless service, and a fun, inviting atmosphere. It’s officially one of my go-to spots in Long Beach. Highly recommend—you won’t be disappointed!

Came for dinner on a sunday and greeted by amicable staff. Busy but no wait for table of 3. Overall good ambiance, ocean view with deck/patio seating. Food was good, fajitas chicken was moist and condiments were great. Parked in th museum garage and walked the board walk area down.

Generous portion on the carne asada burrito — flavorful, well-seasoned, and filling. Casual, laid-back atmosphere with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Service was attentive and friendly. Great spot for a relaxed meal near the waterfront.

The food here was fantastic! I got the shrimp burrito grande with black beans. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and everything tasted great. Even the chips and salsa that is brought out before the meal was so good. The salsa was some of the best salsa I've ever had. Service was good, and our waiter was attentive and nice. I also loved the atmosphere. The decorations throughout were great.
