First time here. When the place is packed at dinner time it only took about 10 minutes to get seated. You also have the ability to sit at the bar are the tables in the bar if you want.
The food was typical for a Mexican restaurant, nothing special. I did order a margarita with house tequila. Didn't taste much of the strawberry mix and hardly tasted the tequilla.
Although our waiter, Jose seemed busy when it became apparent he had forgotten my wife's drink I had him cancel it.

Amazing service, fast service, large portions. Our waiter was fast and attentive, food and drinks huge and good fresh. The only downside was how loud it was in the restaurant, you’re packed in like sardines.
I had the pork carnitas burrito, it was fine. My husband had the Chili Colorado he said it was fantastic and very spicy.
My cousin had the Cajun chicken, so said it was incredible. Her husband has the chicken enchiladas, he said they were fantastic as well. The chips were hot and fresh.

We ate here on a Friday night and it was very busy so we went on a waiting list - you cannot book. But it appeared to be busy everynight we passed by. We waited 35 mins which was as they said it would be and we had a drink whilst we waited in the bar area. They bring a free portion of tortilla chips with salsa dip whilst you order and wait. Our food was fine although we were not so keen on the beans which appear to accompany every menu choice. 1/3 of our meal was the beans, 1/3 rice and 1/3 the burritos. It felt like the meal was 2/3 cheap ingredients. We had a good drinks and table service but it is not a great dining experience. If you sit at the front of the restaurant you have a lovely harbour view otherwise its quite a noisy, dull restaurant.

We enjoy eating Mexican food, but we didn't want the heat (picante) at lunch time, when we knew we're going to be walking around for some time. This restaurant offered traditional selections that were satisfying and the service was good. Our overall experience was very good.

I can’t begin to explain how much the staff doesn’t care if you are there or not. Hostess loves her power to make you wait when tables are available and doesn’t make you feel welcome at all. Just too busy cleaning menus. I get that they have a captive audience but they just want to churn and burn people to make money. Such a bad experience that we left as soon as we sat as we noticed the wait staff and busers didn’t care either. Sad

Very popular venue, long wait for tables which wasn't brilliantly managed but it is well worth your wait! We were served by Bryce who was brilliant, never more than a minute from the table and keeping us stocked up with fresh, warm chips and salsa. Menu is absolutely huge with any kind of burrito, enchiladas and more. Food came and was a big portion with plenty of meat. Presentation and quality of food isn't the best on the planet but for the portion and price, it's well worth it. Just be prepared for lots of cheese!

Tequila Jack’s is in the heart of the touristy area of Long Beach but it is excellent. Very authentic Mexican food. Expect a Waite at dinner time and spend that time walking around sightseeing. They have a pork Catalina burrito which is the spiciest entrée you’ll ever have on a menu (without asking for additional heat). The restaurant has great views and is open air.

Our cruise docked in Los Angeles for the day and we headed to Long Beach. It was Memorial Day so the world and its aunt was there. Most restaurants had massive queues but we spoke to the head of house at TJ's and they managed to find us two seats at the bar. This is such a fun place, after two mojitos each, a bowl of sensational guacamole and some tacos we rolled out very happy. Loved this place!

Tequila Jacks is located at Brisa’s Del Mar, a really nice beach resort located on the “quiet” side of West End.
The wait staff at Tequila Jacks is great but one person especially stands out: Wanderlee. Wanderlee is quick to greet you with a smile and is very attentive. She suggested a slight change to a menu item to suit my wife’s taste, which was very kind.
Seeing Wanderlee every morning is a nice way to start the day. She makes a point to show up early so that everything is ready at 7am when they open…including the coffee! This hasn’t always been the case but Wanderlee is all over it! Because our dive boat leaves the resort pretty early, it helps to have things ready and a nice breakfast in the short time we have before we leave.
Every restaurant needs a Wanderlee….the more the better! 😉

Staying on the Queen Mary we went on a search for a great dinner that would not break the bank. We found such a place here. Priced right and service and the food was awesome as well. Our waitress went above and beyond to make sure all our request were taken care of. I order the chimneys comes out as 4 minus very light and fluffy. All was excellent see the pics. When your done walk out to the pier for some excellent night pictures of the Queen Mary. One thought they do not have queso blanco so dont ask but the table side guacamole was awesome.

This place was great giving us a reservation for a party of around 20 (at 2 tables) for a Thursday night. The service was very good and delicious food! Price is right. We sat inside but they have a deck with a great view as well.

Service was okay, had a couple of beers and some chips and salsa. Nice place but overpriced beers. Typical tourist trap, I didn't eat there as our appetizer of Taquitos and Guacamole left a lot to be desired.

Nice place with a nice outdoor terrace.
Very good drinks, this place is known for the Margerita
The staff is ok, they should work a little cleaner.
I saw how they took the cut lemon or orange with their bare hands and put it in the glass, after touching their nose, dirty apron or even worse, money.

Stopped by for lunch. Nice location on waterfront with a great view of the marina. Waiter friendly and prompt. Chips warm and salsa was great. Had enchilada tamale combo. Both delicious. Only drawback rice was a little cold. Overall good tasty food friendly service. Would go back anytime

Tequila Jacks was my favorite restaurant in Long Beach. Their cheese enchiladas with red sauce was amazing. Best enchiladas I’ve ever had! There was a long wait but it was worth it. I highly recommend this restaurant and that’s because I’m a picky eater!!
