Food was good, but not great. I have to try a few more items to make that judgment. The guacamole though was too salty. The atmosphere was chill and it can get crowded around lunch time. The service staff needs improvement. No one came around to refill our water until I had to flag someone down.

We accidentally found this place and we are very happy. We stopped in! The chimichanga was the biggest chimichanga I’ve ever seen. This salsa was incredible as was the hot salsa. And definitely get the guacamole.

Total hidden gem! Lunch specials on the back of the menu for $15. Large filling portions served on a huge plate, more like a platter. I got the carne asada burrito. They offered it served wet for an extra $1. I like mine dry. Meal came with salad, guacamole, sour cream, rice, and a cup of tortilla soup. I got full off the tortilla chips and house salsa and my cup of soup. Ended packing most of my meal. Lunch was not busy and only 5 minutes from downtown Long Beach. Adequate parking on the street and their private lot. Today there was a guitarist who serenaded our group. He didn't come with the restaurant, and just happened to be there that day. Tip him well.

The place's atmosphere is really cool and kind of feels like you're in a little Pueblo in Mexico 🇲🇽 . The service is also very good and we really enjoyed our experience here; the food itself is not bad and they give very good quantities; tortillas on the side with your order of birria, I have had better birria personally, but that is subjective since there are different styles of cooking/serving birria, so give this place a shot, you won't be disappointed!

This place is pretty good.. I've been to a lot of other Mexican restaurants but this place seems to care about their food cuz I could taste it that's why I gave them five stars. Now the server could have been a lot better. The restaurant wasn't packed. He kept hounding me for my order then once I got it he disappeared. I had to go find him so I can get a refill on my iced tea. I will definitely be back to this place cuz like I said the food is good maybe I'll just sit in a different section

Really good choice if you are craving birria de chivo (goat stew) which is their specialty. They also have different kind of dishes in their menu to please everyone. The michelada I ordered was bomb 👍 and that salsa was really good as well. The bowl of birria was delicious. The broth was exceptionally good and delicious tasting. Adding some lime and some of that chile 🌶️ sauce to it made it taste even better. Great looking restaurant from the inside and outside. Good customer service and a well maintained building.

Expensive for my standards of what Mexican food should cost, but overall the food reminds me of my trip to Mexico City. Really tasty and fresh, been coming here for 10 years and the only thing that changes are the prices (Cali problem)

This is my favorite go to place for birria. My local mother in law loves this place and I am glad she introduced this place to my family. The food is just pure delicious and service is awesome

Food was decent! Can't say it's the best just yet until i try a few more items. But atmosphere was chill, can get crowded around lunch time being its between two refineries. The waitress staff could improve slightly, I had a 2 hour lunch meeting and wasn't offered anymore water since i sat down. The guacamole in my opinion is tooooo salty, if you cut back on that a little it'll be just right. The lamb was tender just needs a little more love when seasoning. Happy Yelping

My husband took me here a couple weeks ago. I had never been or even heard of it but he went several years back.... It was really good. The steak with the dish that we got was SO flavorful. *yum* I'd definitely go back.

The restaurant design and ambiance was nice, very Mexican style. The chips were warm and salsa was delicious. The service was great. I had an enchilada and chili relleno. It was good a little small in portion. Not too much rice or beans.

We were craving birria and let me tell you this place does not disappoint. They have birria de res y chivo both very delicious. We didn't even take a before picture. The service was great and the environment was very nice. I felt like I was eating in Mexico but missing the Mexico vibes and smells lol. But I loved this place. I will defiantly be coming back here. Really good micheladas as well

First time here. Was told about Tepechi from a friend of mine. I ordered a large birria (Original). Food came out out quick. Hot and very flavorful! The broth had a great flavor and the meat was cooked very well. The only thing this palce needs are home-made tortillas. That would give this place 6 stars. Other than that, service was great and the food was delicious. Come check them out.

Very nice vibe, if your looking for menudo make sure you get there early in the morning, they do run out. Menudo has lots of flavor, also make sure to try the coffee de olla. I've tried most of all the birria plates and I grew up on goat birria so this just hits the spot. Service is always great since owner and his kids are always up and down asking if everything is ok or if you would like anything else. And if your there in the afternoon try there Micheladas very spicy and flavorful.

DELICIOUS!! From the chips and salsa to my entree, everything was phenomenal. Service was great, the server was attentive and did a great job serving me and my party while serving other larger parties at the same time. The ambiance is relaxing with good Spanish music playing in the background. Thanks!

Tepechi has amazing hard shell tacos! Great ambience and warmth to watch ongoing soccer games wherever you're sitting. I myself had a taco y enchilada con frijoles y arroz. One of the best and original menus in Long Beach along with being super filling. My dad had the mojarra frita that he said was delicious !! Friendly service, recommend, and would definitely come again.

Food did not disappoint ! Probably the best chicken quesadilla i've had in a while. Wet chile verde burrito was absolutely delicious (beans on the side) Came here after a night out & got exactly what I wanted + more. Guac was fresh too. Will definitely be back to try more here!

As someone who didn't grow up eating Mexican food I was never very fond of it. That being said Tepechi is around the corner from my job and is our go to whenever we have guest visit. It's probably not a stretch to say that they are one of my favorite restaurants not just Mexican food but in general. Food is very authentic and portions are generous. I haven't tried many different dishes because I always get stuck on Birria but everything I've ever gotten was delicious. Definitely stop in if you're in the area and looking for a good meal that won't break the bank.

Gotta be honest here... I was pleasantly and overwhelmingly surprised when I had lunch at Tepechi. The restaurant is basically in a commercial area right on SFE Ave on the Westside of LB. Not the cleanest of areas. But the restaurant is phenomenal. Everything is extra clean. The parking lot is L shaped and not too big but super clean even by parking lot standards. Tons of great ambiance inside the restaurant too. Super clean, lots of room to eat, a small outdoor patio area, and even an event room area. Service was exceptional!! Our server greeted us as soon as we walked in, basically let us pick our table, and immediately began serving us drinks. Lunch specials are solid in size and price. $13 and about 12 options for lunch special plates. Food was absolutely delicious. Food was served on blazing hot plates, which I learned the hard way. Great lunch portion that satisfied my hunger. I had the asada wet burrito lunch special with half red half green sauce. It was fantastic. The flavor of the grilled asada was perfect. Perfect amount of balanced char and tenderness. Lunch also came with a large basket of chips and delicious salsa. I will absolutely be back. Tepechi was an awesome lunch spot and I absolutely recommend this restaurant to everyone who works or lives or even just driving through the Westside of LB.

Birria revolcada, if you like spice, has a nice kick. Flavors were good. Tacos de birria were filled well and filling , small birria bowl was tasty, campechana had good mariscos and flavor. For desert flan made authenticly... now to walk off our food. Come out and get your mexican grub on, i will come back when I am in town.

I'm still going to give 4 stars. The place is clean. Some staff are friendly & good of customer service, most especially one of the guy (Owner) I told him it was my first time. But the only thing that disappoint me is the male server. I ask him about a taco de birria but he had ignored what i ask for. I let that go. Very disappointed. But will be back bec. The food is good. Place is clean. Price is reasonable & one person won't cut it for me to comd back.

The restaurant in Long Beach off the beaten path looks nice both in and out. The young ladies working the day shift are polite and gracious. That's about where it ends. I wish I could give more on merit...the rest, meaning the food , detracts so much, I can't. The burritos are tiny.....yes....tiny. I ordered steak picado, (steak, peppers onions tomatoes) and there were a few slivers of steak and overloaded with tomatoes and onions....bland. My work folks go and order from here and they seem to enjoy it ..but...I can't.

This place is one of those holes in the wall that should be a top ten national brand Tepechi more like te pinche Canbrones whey dis place is muy beuno The birriria is on point The burritos is on point There is no flaw in this entire place

It was my first time that I tried this place and last. I was looking forward to it because of the reviews. Once we were there, we were greeted by a young man who took our order and left, and we never saw him again. We waited an hour for our food and that's only because other servers started asking, if we had order already.They gave us a complimentary appetizer for the long wait. I will say the other servers were nice and always asking if we needed anything but to that young man server horrible customer service. I will never come back to this place. They did tried to make it right but we were already irritated at that point.

We definitely recommend this restaurant! Right off the gate the staff was very friendly. Our server Ene did amazing she's very friendly and was always checking up on us, we really enjoy excellent service like the one she gave us. We're pretty picky when it comes to guacamole but the guacamole in this restaurant was delicious! The Jamaica tasted just perfect but the horchata was the only thing I didn't like, it was watered down so I was bummed about that. Overall we really enjoyed this restaurant!

Brrroooo!! You gotta go! I had the Birria tacos. My son had the chimichanga carne asada. We had guacamole as an app. Everything was so delicious I don't know how else to review it for you. You just gotta go! Service was great. This will become my new regular joint. Enjoy!

Pretty good food here! I got the steak picado which came with rice/beans and peppers/onions! A good solid plate! Also got the guacamole which tasted a bit salty but manage to finish it! I believe the birria is the star of the show here so i will try that next time! I should of known by looking at people plates it was mostly the birria. They have 3 different kinds of birria meat cuts i seen to go in the soups. The place is HUGE inside and they have a tent for outside dining which i don't think they're using anymore due to covid restrictions. It was pretty busy inside on a wends so they get alot of customers! It's right across the street from santa fe importers. Nice people running this place! Parking around the back area which was good and makes your feel safe. Yes i will go back again and try different items!

This place is a rip off! My parents ordered a vegeterian for me, instead it's steamed vegtables, rice & french fries, no entree. It's a plate of side a $1 worth of food they overcharged for.

Where to start.... I really had high hopes for this place, we walked in and thought it would be a great experience, and little did I know that I would be practically running out. The restaurant looked clean, but when it came down to the main attraction (the food) it was far and behind lacking in quality. Service was just okay. We waited a very long time for basic food. The overall: The overpriced food is not good here! I cannot speak for the birria, as I did not order it.

This place is called the goat because it has great goat. I tried the goat soup with goat tripe, the goat tacos, and the goat ribs. They were all delicious. I also had the tamarind margarita and it was the best marg I've ever had. Would goat here again ;)

I love this place!!!! I have been here a handful of times already and i love everything. The experience is always great and the food is always great (except for the birria de chivo --my family loves it but i don't -- i have to see if they have beef birria next time lol). All in all, i give this place a 10/10.

SOoooo..I was a bit on the fence abt this place..one the location two the location and three looks deserted..mmm I guess I'll try it. The hubby told me this place is fantastic but I don't want to hear it. I don't want anybody influencing my judgement. I ddnt evn look at the yelp reviews.. We parked and I got out of the car I saw the super large door which I immediately loved..its like when a short girl see a tall guy she's immediately attracted too..lol ((short girl joke)) no not really..watch out tall lovers! Open the door when inside and it's a huge place. We sat and ordered our food..salsa and chips came out..wow the chip was warm and the salsa omg was what i think salsa should be able, look and taste like! Ordered: Goat stew with tripe & hearts Fish tacos I think the birria goat stew was super delicious, I hate to order smething I'm not sure if it'll taste gamy but was not...but I can say there wasn't enough seasoning on the fish taco..it was missing smething ohh yeah flavors. That salsa and chip is on point and that is why I'll give it another shot. Plus the decor make me feel like I jst stepped outside of United States... I wish I can come bck when it's in rush hours to see when it's at its prime time. Be back soon.. Xo -Navy

Quaint little place. i felt like i was in Mexico, other yhan the BedLight framed mirror wall art. I had chile relleno/enchilada combo with green sauce, which was tangy & fresh. The red sauce on end pf chile relleno was awesome! Beans were excellent & rice was rice. Salsa was not hot not mild just right. I ate all my chips. I WILL be back!

I had been to Tepechi years ago in their past location, I remember it being good. So on a Friday afternoon my friend and I wanted some decent priced yet great tasting Mexican food. I looked up Mexican food near Wilmington, Ca and this sweet shoot popped up. My friend is vegetarian, so we had to verify if they had options, they did. I drove over and we were excited because everything on the menu looked great. When we arrived inside we were greeted by the host I believe and waited a couple of seconds, then she showed us our table, when we were ready to order our waitress was most helpful with my friend's vegetarian food questions, anyway long story short, we became regulars for a couple of weeks when we had to do work around that side of town, great food, good prices and atmosphere and service to the customer. Yes I recommend this place.

Accidentally stumbled into this place Since there's another Mariscos restaurant almost a block away was originally headed there but this place caught my attention and I'm glad I did the salsa was great A!!! Waitress constantly checking on me if I was OK which I loved. Shrimp cocktail was five stars I go to a lot of seafood spots/Mariscos and by far the best I've tasted will be coming back and recommending this place!!!!

The Birria here is so delicious, good customer service and the chips & salsa are the best you will finish them all & want more

You will find menus without prices. May be due to not having to update rising prices. Sure did get a surprise when we got the bill. Party of 5 $150. Didn't even get birria because they only have chivo. That's fine. Not a problem. What we ordered was okay. Service was good until they started to get busy. Understandable. But, definitely overpriced! Rather go to my local Mexican spot $82, party of 5, with 2 alcoholic beverages. Huge difference and will never visit Tepechi for Mexican food.
