Alegria offers the best ecclectic Latin American cuisine in Long Beach. Our Executive Chef, Walter Cotta, received the Chef of the Year award from the Southern California Restaurant Writers' Association in 2004-2005. This award was one of many recognitions of his amazing culinary creations that are, at once, reminiscent of traditional Latin American cuisine and cutting edge in creativity and expert fusion of flavors. From our signature Paella Valenciana to our traditional Oaxacan Mole dishes, and from our fresh and vibrant Alegria salad to our spicy and delectable Pescado Negro (Blackened butterfish), Alegria will take you on a tour of Latin America's wonderfully diverse cuisines. To add to the amazing culinary experience, we offer enthralling live entertainment, ranging from Flamenco and Samba shows to Live Salsa bands and Latin Jazz.
