Dave's Family Mexican - Long Beach

Most brunch Mexican restaurants I’ve tried tend to be on the bland side. Upon arrival here I had both hopes and doubts. I base my expectations for Mexican restaurants by their Guacamole and their spicy salsa. We ordered the guacamole and street corn to start. To all of our surprise the guacamole was very flavorful. The street corn dip was also flavorful and delicious. The green sauce was also delicious. We all wanted a portion to ourselves. We asked if they had hot sauce or spicy salsa and our waitress brought out a habanero salsa that was legitimately spicy. It had a really good kick to it, which made us very happy. I ordered the Mole Verde de Oaxaca (19 ingredients, toasted nuts, balanced savory sauce over grilled chicken, sesame seeds, pickled red onions, Mexican rice, garlicky whole beans, choice of corn or flour tortillas. For $16.95). The chicken was moist and tender. The sauce was creamy and flavorful. All in all the meal was a delightful surprise. I’m definitely coming back with family and friends.

Great seasoning on a simple scramble. We were hungry before shopping on 4th st. We sat down here on a Saturday at 11 and ordered brunch. I had the scramble with eggs, bacon, potatoes, veggies hold the cheese. YUM! My friend had huevos rancheros and loved it. Excellent coffee. I'll go back.

Absolutely excellent. Visited here from NYC and it’s far and away the best mole I’ve ever had. Great happy hour. We were all amazed at how good the food was.

Had lunch here with 6 other from work. Sat outside. Service and food were outstanding Chips and salsa (especially salsa) were fantastic. Avocado salsa is my favorite. Food was top-notch. Parking was nearby and convenient.

Some of the best Mexican food in Long Beach. Al and consistently delicious and never overly greasy or heavy. The meat is so tender and flavorful, and the elote is fantastic. We discovered this place last year through Maritime courier. It was quickly becoming a regular in our takeout rotation, and then they closed suddenly. The sign on the window says they will reopen when indoor dining is allowed again, so hopefully we can enjoy our new favorite spot again soon! We miss you Dave's!!
