Loaded Cafe - Long Beach — Restaurant in Long Beach

Exaggerated price for decent tasting food. Browsing for a breakfast spot I found this place that had a high rate of reviews and people swearing the food was amazingly delicious.

So here I go checking out pictures and the menu pictures on Google Maps.

1st.- pricing is inaccurate. They don’t show an updated menu with the actual prices on the google maps pictures. I decided to try the Asada Chilaquiles plate which on the app shows a price of $16.99, when ordering over the phone for pick up, they told me my total was $27.41 for just the plate, which I asked how come the price was different and they said “oh, it’s probably an old menu” so basically they admitted they upped the price by $7.

Regardless of that, I decided to give it a try, the reviews were good so I was like, why not? Expensive but worth it. Wrong!

2nd.- The food is decent and for that price, you don’t get what you pay for, at least not in my case. The asada in my plate was very “sporadic” and the “red” sauce was MIA, the salsa is pale in color and just spicy with no real flavor to it. The picture shows all the pieces of meat scattered around so you know how much you get… that’s not enough to compensate for the whole plate and price.

I used to believe MeeMa’s chilaquiles and steak was expensive at $23, but this place takes the crown. At least at MeeMa’s you get plenty and nice quality steak with your chilaquiles and eggs. The chilaquiles at Loaded come with beans but that doesn’t really compensate for the price.

Another thing that bothered me was that the cost of the plate is $23.99 plus 10.25 tax, which should’ve been $26.45, so how come the total price was $27.41?

What is the fee that is not disclosed when paying? I don’t enjoy writing not positive reviews but I just thought this was odd and wanted to share MY experience for others that might be drawn because of the reviews. If you have had positive experiences and like the food here, my advice is to just pay attention when you pay to make sure you’re not being charged the extra fee that...

Leaving a two star review because I truly believe this needs to shared. The place is extremely small. And the decoration is still in festive Christmas at this Long Beach loaded cafe. I’ve been to the lawndale location. It’s been much larger, and the service is great! Not many people can fit at the Long Beach location. Also Larger parties expect to wait longer. The food took forever to come out to start from ordering to table. I completely understand it being a larger party and having to wait but it was a longer wait than usual. A family member even had enough time to go to the queen mary and back in the time it took for our food to arrive at our table. Once the food did arrive it was warm and did have good taste. No real complaints. We ate and during the meal we weren’t checked on at on until the very end. No napkins only one or two in n the table was given for the entire party. My son was thirsty and so was I and I. Asked for a water and coffee refill. Right toward the end of us finishing our meal. Water confirmed he will get that for us. 20mins passed and I’m not exaggerating then he passed and asked again if we needed anything. Me completely done with our meal I mentioned that I asked approx 20mins ago for a coffee and a water and finally he brought it to our table once we finished our entire meal included the rest us in the party. I also mentioned to him I nvr received the pancakes with my meal and he offered to bring them I declined due to the rest of my party being done and how mentally I was over the entire experience. And asked to remove it from my tab which they did. I was also wanting to order concha’s to go but they lost a sale $ due to the experience. I am never coming back to this specific loaded cafe. But I’m over them. Just wanted to share...
