Patty’s Fish Tacos & More — Restaurant in Long Beach

Patty's is so great. The shack is small and the seating area has room for 3-5 at most but the food is authentic PNW Coast inspired Mexican food with California influence. Patty works hard as a solo female-owned business person and she knows how to make good food. Like most small businesses, her menu fluctuates based on supply chain demands and her costs are going up like most everyone else's these days. But what you are paying for is great food, not some knock-off tacos that claim to be "artisan inspired" and not your run-of-the-mill coast pub grub. There's an excellent free pickled carrot/jalapeno/radish bar and the hand made chips & pico de gallo that come with the meal are stand-alone examples of greatness. I wish Patty had more help so she could be open 7 days a week but alas that's not to be because it's a struggle to hold down a small business in this climate.

It's easy to tell why this place has such a high rating, from the home made tortillas to the hand battered locally caught halibut. The fish tacos come in an order of two (no individual fish tacos available), I belive it was about $20 for an order with a side of pico de gallo which was slightly spicy but complimented the fish perfectly and ate well with the provided toritilla chips. We also tried the "octodogs" which are hotdogs sliced to look like little octopus served on a bed of french fries, perfect for little kids and kids at heart. Overall a great experience...
