Excellent retaurant, great staff and wonderful food. Thrilled the banquet manager "Wendy" is gone. Her attitude was downright nasty and her ability to follow through was zero.
Pros: quality of food
Cons: wendy parker

My friends and I went on a Thursday night to check out the food and the live performance of The Thugs - we were thoroughly impressed. The music was awesome, the atmosphere was casual, the drinks were STIFF, the food was great (got the sliders + fries - thumbs up!), and the prices were right.
The crowd was varied, from early 20s to a few old timers. All of them seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Also, take some of the earlier negative reviews with a grain of salt. The Gaslamp is under new ownership/management as of November, 2009, which may explain why my friends and I didn't observe any of the negative experiences as described by earlier reviews. We honestly had a great time from start to finish.
Give this place a try if you are looking for a night of great food/drinks, great service, great value, and great live music with your friends. You won’t be disappointed.
Pros: Food, Drinks, Live Music, Value

Honeys Birthday 12-30-08
We were on our way to our usual Mexican resturant for Carolyns birthday ( Acapulco) when at the last minute I remember reading recently the local monthly Alhambra new paper about Fronteras. I had driven by it on Main street before and it had a A food rating and looked inviting. It was a lot closer so we took a drive by to check it out. It pleased her eyes and belive me Carolyn hates everything so what the heck lifes like a box of chocolate.
Parking was a breeze and by the way Main Street Alhambra is a great kept secret for night life. We entered and were greeted by a very friendly hostes. We were seated right away and ordered a couple of margaritas including complementry salsa and chips. Large bowl of very fresh salsa which was really good, the chips were those red white and blue chips so so but not greasy. If they changed the type of chips and Gucamole it would make this resturant perfect. I ordered steak Fajitas and she ordered taquitos both were of obvious freshness and excellent quality very sweet veggies and superb beans and rice! On a side note the bus boy which I hate to call him was absoutley delightfull please give that man a raise he was as good as is gets!
The atmosphere was very nice in an old brick building it was extreamly clean, quaint and classy. They also comped us a couple of drinks and did not even know it was her B-day. The manager was first class and a great ambassador for this establishment. I am a hot sauce conisuer who has traveled the globe and thier picante sauce is to die for. It's not for the weak or timid but if you like it hot it is second to none. It's like a butter wine hanabaro sauce very unique and very tasty hot. Carolyn loved it and so did I, Fronteras you get the best advertisement of all (word of mouth) I'm telling everybody about you and I can't wait to come back again.
Wow what a geat dinning experence, loved it!
Pros: Parking, Service, Atttitudes, Freshness you can taste, Very clean, Picante sauce
Cons: Middle of the road chips and gucamole

We walked from the Long Beach Terrace Theater last night for sushi since the sushi place we were planning on going to was no longer existent.
All 5 of us ladies sat down at the sushi bar and we had the best time of our lives being catered to by excellent sushi chefs, Toro and Sean, and a very friendly waiter, Min. The "Heart Attack", "Leo" and "Long Beach" sushi were awesome! You ought to sample them when you visit. Ask Toro for some of his creations. He can be very creative. The sashimi was so fresh, no bad taste in your mouth afterwards. There was also this dessert made with scallops and crabmeat (yes desserts.) with whipped cream on the side. We thought it also unusual but you gotta try it to believe it!
Overall, this is a great place to come and have fun not just with your friends but also with the people behind the counter serving the most unusual but delectable creations! We came in a Tuesday night and it wasn't packed at all. If you are up to trying sushi fusion, this is the place. What can I say except this place makes me happy!
I will definitely bring all of my friends and family the next time I come back. We've definitely found an excellent hangout!
Pros: Warm and friendly people, the freshest sashimi, great sushi creation

Great food. Have been going for over 3 years. Ask for the server Luis. The best in the house. The buffet is great and tons to choose from. Great for kids or a romantic dinner, or just a good restaurant. Service is great. Meat is hot and again, alot to choose from. Desserts are also good. Not too pricey. Wonderful for meat lovers. Every guest we bring loves it and wants to go again and again!
Pros: service, food, ambience, parking
Cons: none

I lived in No Carolina and their food is right on. Memphis BBQ, Kansas City BBQ, Texas BBQ, have nothing compared to the roadside family BBQ of Johnny Reb's. I try to imitate at home and my home cooking doesn't even come close.

I have been eating at Papalucci's for 16 years and absolutely love it. It all started when we lived in Long Beach and would get there early so we could beat the crowds. Now that I live in San Diego, I still manage to get back here at least once a month for lunch. The garlic rolls are to die for, but my favorite is the simple preparation of their pasta with olive oil, garlic, parsley and red pepper. I've had that dish many places, but few do it as well as Papalucci. The service is always great. The prices are reasonable. And now they take credit cards as well! What's not to love?

Good selection of seafood. What we love the most is Oyster Rockefeller's with fresh bread.. The place can get pretty busy at lunch and dinner time. The prices may be a little high, but the food is worth it..

Lashers has some delicious American cuisine. I personally love their short ribs, but their lamb and pork chops are also delicious. The owners are very personable and the restaurant is very comfortable and warm.
