Reviews for Alegria Cocina Latina in Long Beach, CA
This was hands down some of the most delicious Latin American food that I have had. You’ve got to be into different flavors... being that this is not traditional. My boo and I were delighted!! Service was wonderful ???? Read more
Great place for dinner and join the fun as it becomes a club after 9 pm. Great music! ...cozy front patio for large groups is... awesome Read more
A fun place, but rough around the edges. *Updated to 1 star for being dirty. Watched someone behind the bar take out the trash,... not wash their hands, and then start making drinks. Hell no.* *Was originally a 3 star rating but down graded to 2 once Ithought more about the hazard of having restrooms with multiple soap dispensers that are all empty with no paper towels. Are thestaff washing their hands???* Staff was friendly and helpful. The music is great, and the small dance floor in the bar area wasgreat once took a breather after the meal. It is loud! The nachos were loaded and good. The chilequiles were good, both thebeef and chicken versions. Trash in the plants next to our outdoor table, sticky table, restroom had NO soap and NOTHING to dryyour hands. Under staffed on Labor Day weekend. One waiter and one person bussing tables. Had to go find a person toorder. Ceviche was alright. Mango threw off the flavor, might have been improved with more lime. It says it comes withplatanos, which are just plain chips. Cucumber slices looked old so I didn’t feel comfortable eating them. I’d be back andwould enjoy myself, but would come more for the venue and not the food. Read more
Yes, let's talk about this place. Please note, the tasting is based on the flamenco show and dinner. Flamenco dancers and... guitarist? They dance, they play, they entertain. Food? Woh, please do not expect much. The paella passes but it's missing thebest ingredient (to me), Spanish sausage. Chicken is good, probably the best, Salmon is ok. Dessert wasn't bad. The only drinkdone well it's the Cadillac. Do not, and I warn you, please do not order an Old fashion. You will be beyond disappointed by whatyou receive. Read more

The food and service were great. Came on a Saturday night and the street was closed down to accommodate the restaurants. We were... immediately seated, and ordered a sangria. We then ordered the salmon plate and shrimp plate. Both were very good. The servicewas great also ???? Read more
The flamenco dancer ( I think her name was Tatiana) was amazing! OMG That lady knows how to entertain. Unfortunately the rest of... the the experience wasn't that awesome. They only had one kind of spanish wine at least that's what the bartender told us,thank God it was good. The room for the show wasn't close (private) just for us who paid for the dinner and show, it was open toanyone who walk by in the restaurant Read more
So I saw a Groupon for this for ultimate experience flamenco show which I thought was good idea to take my friend for her... birthday here. But after reading reviews it was free anyway so I decided to not spend money on Groupon and just reserve a table.But that was not the case. The restaurant has now put some shower curtain to cover the show, which I was still able to see fromoutside and was not impressed at all. The food was ok. Some meat was hard some tender. I felt like they mixed some of meat withold and new meat.I had Lomo Salta do. It was pricey not worth money. Server didn't come to table as often to check if we neededsomething. Service was mediocre. Sauce was missing from plate, and when wanted to order drink, no where to be found. Over allits good for just one time experience. Beware don't spend the money on Groupon you will end up spending more than u need to. Theshow only lasts maybe 45 minutes. Read more
