Holé MoléBWorth Trying

421 Obispo Ave, Long Beach, CA 90814 · Mexican restaurant · 4.5/5 Google (1101 reviews)

Delivery · Takeout · Outdoor seating

Casual Mexican spot known for low-priced fish and brisket tacos, great Taco Tuesday deals, and generally tasty plates, with occasional issues around cleanliness, order accuracy, and portion consistency.

Why it gets a B for overall quality

Holé Molé delivers solid neighborhood taco shop quality with standout fish and brisket tacos and exceptional value, especially on Taco Tuesday. However, inconsistent portions and occasional missing items alongside tight seating and variable patio upkeep prevent grade A territory. Strong local loyalty and friendly service support a reliable grade B experience for casual diners seeking authentic, affordable Baja-Mex.

Restaurant Summary

This neighborhood taco counter feels casual and lively, the kind of place locals pop into for fish tacos and beans after work. A regular summed it up: "cheap, tasty tacos and kind staff." However, expect limited seating and street parking, and on busy nights the patio can look a bit rough around the edges. The cooking leans classic Baja-Mex with a comfort-first attitude rather than chef theatrics. Think crispy fish tacos, tender smoked brisket, and satisfying rice and beans. Most days it hits the spot and the pricing feels friendly, especially on Taco Tuesday. A few diners report bland burritos or skimpy protein, so flavor and portions can vary when the rush is on. Families do well here: kids gravitate to bean and cheese burritos, rice and beans, and simple tacos. There is no formal kids menu, but the straightforward, familiar items make it easy to feed picky eaters. Seating is tight, so arrive off-peak if you need room for a stroller.
