"The Deal: A three-course lunch or dinner with a cocktail, and chips and salsa for $35 per person. Why We Like: El Barrio Cantina is one of the best restaurants in Long Beach. They serve great drinks and snacks in a fun, busy dining room. You have a couple of options to choose from on the Dine LA menu, but we'd go: taquitos de papa (they're amazing), carnitas chile verde or the Mexican hot chicken, and a house margarita. They'll throw in dessert, too. " - Brant Cox, Garrett Snyder, Sylvio Martins
