Alegria Cocina Latina 115 Pine Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90802

"It was a rainy day, so I decided to catch their Flamenco show on Saturday, which comes with a dinner. The waitress’ recommendation was on point. Their drinks were the right one for the food and ambience."

"Maybe my food expectations were too high. Came on a Friday night, the place was dead, quick service was a plus, but would not come back for food."

"Veey niece evening out with friends. The salad was so delicious! Dinner paella was good. Entertainment delightful!"

"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 I thought more about the hazard of having restrooms with multiple soap dispensers that are all empty with no paper towels. Are the staff washing their hands???* Staff was friendly and helpful. The music is great, and the small dance floor in the bar area was great once took a breather after the meal. It is loud! The nachos were loaded and good. The chilequiles were good, both the beef and chicken versions. Trash in the plants next to our outdoor table, sticky table, restroom had NO soap and NOTHING to dry your hands. Under staffed on Labor Day weekend. One waiter and one person bussing tables. Had to go find a person to order. Ceviche was alright. Mango threw off the flavor, might have been improved with more lime. It says it comes with platanos, which are just plain chips. Cucumber slices looked old so I didn’t feel comfortable eating them. I’d be back and would enjoy myself, but would come more for the venue and not the food."

"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 the best ingredient (to me), Spanish sausage. Chicken is good, probably the best, Salmon is ok. Dessert wasn't bad. The only drink done well it's the Cadillac. Do not, and I warn you, please do not order an Old fashion. You will be beyond disappointed by what you receive."
