Yucatan Grill

February 2025Neighborhood restaurant that I love.Food - Always good, my favorite is the Pupusa :) Service - It can get super busy but service is always friendly.Ambiance - BUSY, a bit noisy at times but the food & Margarita's are worth it!

My boyfriend and I went on a bike ride down to Seal Beach and decided to stop here for lunch. Cute little spot, he recommended it so I was pretty excited since I do like a good Mexican food session! We were immediately greeted and seated. Fresh complimentary chips and salsa came to our table as we sat down. Salsa was delicious and chips were freshly made! I ordered two a la carte tacos, mahi fish taco done tropical style and an Al pastor taco. They come on two corn tortillas, pretty big for tacos. Both had really good flavors and the portion was appropriate for the price. My boyfriend ordered steak fajitas! They came out sizzling, the steak pieces were juicy and tender. You do get beans, rice, guacamole, sour cream and 3 flour tortillas. Staff members were all very nice, helpful, and tentative.Definitely recommend this spot if you're in Seal beach!

NOW they are charging at 3.5 % Plastic fee on your bill. Im going to STOP going there. Their alcoholic beverages are the biggest rip off in town ! Quality of food has gone down, and prices WAY WAY UP!

Hi Everyone!Back in Long Beach this weekend. My friend to me to a "great little local place" for Mexican food. She took me to Yucatan Grill. It's is definitely a locals place tucked away in the corner of a strip mall. It is older but very clean inside with plenty of available parking. Upon seating, we were immediately approached with a basket of chips and Salsa. The chips were excellent. The salsa ok. I was pleased they also had brewed mango ice tea. A nice surprise!The service was excellent and the waitress took the time to explain the food choices and gave us plenty of time to order. The food arrived and there was plenty of it! I had the Chili Rellano and a crispy chicken taco. I also chose the Yucatan (yellow rice) and the no lard pinto beans. (see photo attached). My food was very good. The Chili Rellano was big and full of cheese and the taco equally as tasty. I'm not a rice guy, (per se) but enjoyed the Yucatan rice. The beans were decent. Overall my experience here was excellent! You are probably wondering then, why only four stars? Well, sadly, I was very disappointed to find, when the bill came, a 3.5% "plastic" service charge! I HATE hidden charges attached to the bill without notice! I asked the waitress about it and she said it was for using a credit card. Again, ok, you are a small mom and pop, but put a notice on the door, on the menu, but don't hide it on the final bill. No Bueno!Jim

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Tasty Mexican fare with a Caribbean twist. We came here to support the Seal Beach Animal Care Center--they were doing one of those nights when 20% of your bill goes to a benefitting organization so we decided to give it a go. It was already quite crowded by the time we got there around 6pm, but luckily we didn't have to wait too long for a table. We ordered the following:- Yucatán pepita dip (made with toasted pumpkin seeds-yum)- Yucatán fish pot (seafood stew with scallops, mahi-mahi and shrimp simmered with okra, tomatoes, thyme and other spices and hot chilies)- Cheese enchilada with beans and riceEverything was delicious and the service was efficient and prompt, despite the busyness. Extra thanks to our server who graciously took back a dish that we'd ordered without realizing it had meat in it (panuchos). It's a little out of our area for it to be a part of our regular rotation, but the next time there's another benefit for SBACC we are there!

Had Taco Tuesday dinner her and the food was good, as were the mango margaritas. We were seated in their patio area however and it was extremely loud. I recommend inside seating if you can get it, particularly if they are very busy and the patio is packed. We both had two tacos and a margarita and the bill was about $80.

My best friend and I were super short on time to grab dinner. The staff were so kind and got us in quickly! The food came out super fast and it was a very generous serving of nachos so we both shared it. The location was awesome and clean!

Looks like this is a locals spot. The wait staff was very friendly, so no complaints there. The food was mediocre at best (Ahi taco was overcooked, chips are bland, little flavor to the salsa) and the margarita was bitter. I will not be recommending if you're looking for flavorful food and drink.

Yucatan never disappoints! Tonight we decided to have dinner here with family and friends. Our server was so nice! He made our daughter's birthday special. We got the girls virgin margaritas with a salted or sugar rim. The girls loved it. While ordering he asked if it was my daughter's birthday.The crown made it obvious, lol. But he surprised my daughter with a deep fried ice cream and got everyone to sing to her. I ordered the shrimp enchilada and an al pastor taco. The taco was a decent size! Both were so good. My daughter ordered the tilapia and nearly ate all of it! My husband enjoyed a couple of drinks and his bean and cheese enchiladas. Food was great the service was amazing.

Always a pleasure to dine there. Atmosphere is great and food is amazing. And if you like tequila they have a great selection for all your cocktail desires.
