Reviews for PADRE in Long Beach, CA
I ordered the Aguachile, which was so good, had a strong flavor of mint which I’m not use to but I just avoided big bites if... the mint. The Guacamole was good but the salsa was soooo good! I ordered birria tacos and chicken a pastor and my son orderedchicken a pastor and didn’t really like the pineapple on top but I didn’t mind. Meat was soft and marinated delicious. I didhave to add salt and lime to my meat but that’s just me. The tortillas weren’t too Special. By the looks I was expectingmore fresh home made taste. Overall the vibe and decor was a vibe!

Rustic but charming Mexican style taco place. Food is good. Some things I liked more than others. For instance, I thought the... salsa that came with the tortilla chips was a little heavy on the vinegar. Add I wasn't sure about the pork belly, onion, andpineapple chunks taco. Just a bit odd for me. The beef skirt tacos were awesome. Easily the best part of the meal was the breadpudding and ice cream dessert. Waitress staff were lovely and really friendly and helpful. So why four stars? Why would a trendyeating place in Long Beach put a person at the front door on 'meet and greet' duties who possesses less personality than myshoelace? It beggars belief. Utterly devoid of any interest in the guests. Mopes back to the front door with iPhone in handchecking social media for a better life.... Sigh Read more

We were at Padres last night. It was such a fun evening! We sat at the bar all night. Brendon, Taylor, Jake and Josh are so... much FUN and extremely accommodating. The carnitas tacos were so delicious!!!! We had 9 of them!!! LolWe had them on theirhousemade corn tortillas, they were so yummy.

Padre seems to be a busy-lively eatery (at least during my visit on a Friday night though in walking by other times at night, I... recall seeing a line or two out the door, particularly about the weekend), I stand outside for about ten minutes before gettingin. During my visit, customer service is good: being alone at a table is different than being alone at a bar, the employeesbehind the bar all seem ready to help everyone, so whenever a customer is ready, an employee is ready (a table, in my experienceusually has a different type of employee directly catering to a table). The Vegan Gyro is delicious and filling. Initially, I'mnot a fan of the price though after half of the meal fills me, I can be a bit more understanding. The cherry tomatoes, onions,and every other (if any other) vegetables are most flavorful to me. The bites with rice and the Vegan meat are decent though Ifind each much tastier with the hot sauce (which is more so flavorful than hot with each bite, to me) and squeezes of lemonsavailable. The meal holds/travels well; a few hours later (about three hours without refrigeration), I eat the other half of theVegan Gyro though find myself very full going to bed. Read more
