Cesar's Bistro

The people are so friendly and helpful and really Go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. The food is outstanding too!

Great place with a fantastic staff. The food never disappoints. We ordered some new items and they were delicious. Highly recommend the gaucho chicken, empanadas and their plantains. But can’t go wrong with any of it. I forget the dish I ordered but I believe it was the Peruvian chicken plate

We arrived 20 minutes to closing, the time they start to transition to take out. However, the server was kind and allowed us to stay and rushed our order to the kitchen. Everything was excellent - empanadas, plantains, lomo saltado. It was so good we came back the next day for lunch and enjoyed the arepas. There are three tables outside which are dog-friendly.

Amazingly tasty empanadas and lentil soup. Good value

Great food, great flavors, great service.

Outstanding food, excellent service.

Food was delicious, unique and serving size was enough to take half of it home. Friendly staff. Clean premises.

The Kobe burger is delicious and I loved the gluten free bun option.

For lunch we had the mix empanada special. Order 12 and get 2 free. That along with 2 orders of fried rice and salads, fed our group of 5. The food was delicious and we received excellent service. I highly recommend this place.

Great authentic dining experiance! Can’t wait to go back!

The food was really delicious and the service was great! The lomo saltado was very tasty and the empanadas were crazy good. All in all it was an excellent experience. Nowhere else have i found such delicious comida caribeña/Sur Americana. Real tostones in Long Beach? I've only scene them here . Gracias!

Cesar’s always has great food. Reasonably priced and presented in a very inviting manner.

Side by side seating as requested
Food and apps were delish
Generous portions and good value!
We would go back and tell a friend 👍👍

Always hav great food!

We were 6. My friends from overseas had been there before and like the atmosphere therefore we decided to have dinner at the Bistro. At arrival there was only one table occupied. In less than 15 minutes it was full. The waitress was fast, cordial and took care of everybody. The food was tasty and abundant and they were observant of the dietary restriction some of my friends have in those cases making the appropriate changes. As usual we had a great experience. I would recommend the place for a casual dinner or call for a take out.

Simple, sweet and different. Love this little gem. Empanadas are to die for. Great to being a dozen to a party as they are always a hit.

I loved this place. The food was unique and fresh. My servers were gracious and welcoming.

Excellent selection and fantastic service! This was my 5 visit in the last couple of months. Long Beach has a lot of great restaurants and this is definitely a favorite and worth coming back to!

Enjoyed the taste and presentation of the food. Lots of choices. Very friendly.

Our group of four was reasonably happy with their lunches, but not raving about the food. We sat outside because we had a dog in tow. My special gaucho chicken tasted borderline fresh--beware of specials, it is said. All of us have ties with Argentina, so we were expecting better empanadas and chorizo. The fried plaintains were very good. Probably won't go back.

Great food, as usual! Wonderful service, decent wine, beef and potato empanadas and ropa vieja arepa always fabulous.

We go out for lunch/dinner as a family (6 adults) every 6 weeks and are always looking for someplace out of the ordinary and fun. Ceasars was perfect. Very cozy but airy. The walls are colorful with art and everything is clean. The food is outstanding; try the fresh empenadas, the calentao, or the pork sandwich. The owner served us and made us feel very welcomed.

Excellent meal. Friendly staff. Arepas and empanadas are bomb.

It's small and in a strip mall but has a nice cozy restaurant vibe. Excellent service and very tasty Latin American food; don't miss the empanadas! Convenient to the Long Beach Playhouse.

the location is in a mall, with modest appearance. But was blown away by the food, simple yet tasty!

Small restaurant with attentive service and great food!

pleasantly surprised! very good , fresh food.

Casual and warm little Mexican restaurant in a mini mall in Long Beach, not far from CSULB. The service is uncommonly friendly and helpful, and the authentic Mexican cuisine is delightful; spicy, flavorful and beautifully presented. Prices are very reasonable. Wine and beer is served.

I selected Cesar's Bistro as we were staying in LA and meeting friends from San Diego so this seemed like a good halfway point.
When we pulled up, I thought I'd made a mistake as the restaurant is located in a strip mall and appeared to be a bright fast-foodie kind of place.
However, we proceeded and were so glad we did. The restaurant is casual and was very quiet at the time so we were able to converse with our friends and the menu was really interesting with some unusual dishes and tempting treats.
We each chose differently and I had the cod/calamari combo which was delicious. Everyone really enjoyed their food and we happened to be there on a Thursday night when bottles of wine were halfprice, making the entire experience affordable, enjoyable and tasty.

Always a good meal with great, personable service. Cesar's is a local go-to in an expected location that's easy to pass right by, even though it's right on PCH (in the little strip mall at Loynes). Been back numerous times and have never been disappointed. It's casual but spotless and always delicious. The menu is big and varied — a little from everywhere, so call it pan-Latin — and happy hour and wine specials make it even more appealing.

I've been to Cesar's several times already and I've never been disappointed. The food (a mix of a variety of latin cuisines) is always outstanding. The staff are all very friendly and the service is excellent.

I was quickly looking for a place to have brunch near Seal Beach. This restaurant popped up. I was surprised to see that it was in a strip mall but was also surprised how good the food was and how personable and attentive the service was.

I had an empanada which was encrusted with the name of the bistro, very nice touch. The chicken milanese was good...

Our 1st visit here as part of Dine LBC. Food was tasty and nicely presented. Lentil soup, salmon with salad, plantains, rice, and salad. Casual atmosphere. Will return to try empanadas and other items on the menu.

Clever , Fun , Tasty and recommended highly. Chef Caesar has outdone himself with his Latin flavors
