\"Alegria<\/a><\/p>\n

It was great to be back at Alegria Cocina Latina<\/strong><\/a> in Long Beach.\u00a0 I have old memories there.\u00a0 It’s probably been over 15 years since I’ve been to Alegria and it looked just as good,\u00a0if not better than I remember.\u00a0 It has new owners who continue to care for and\u00a0enhance it.\u00a0 I’ve always liked\u00a0the bright, multi-colored tile floor, stylish bar and outdoor patios,\u00a0and their Sangrias<\/strong> of course.\u00a0 Nobody does\u00a0them better!\u00a0A lot of care and time is put into making\u00a0them.<\/p>\n

\"Alegria<\/a><\/p>\n

They offer a Red, White and Seasonal Sangrias all the time.<\/p>\n

\"Alegria<\/a><\/p>\n

Alegria’s cuisine is a fusion of Spanish, Mexican and Latin American flavors.<\/p>\n

\"Alegria<\/a><\/p>\n

A portion of Alegria’s patio is\u00a0above and one\u00a0dining area is\u00a0set for a large party below.<\/p>\n

\"Alegria<\/a><\/p>\n

We\u00a0tried a few\u00a0dishes, including Paella Valenciana<\/strong> (top)\u00a0and Ceviche De Cameron<\/strong> (below).<\/p>\n

\"Alegria<\/a><\/p>\n

I liked the Red Sangria best and the guy looking at you below liked the White Sangria\u00a0better.<\/p>\n

\"Alegria<\/a><\/p>\n

They also have a Flamenco Stage with a band and dancers\u00a0– You can watch, or dance too.<\/p>\n

\"Alegria<\/a><\/p>\n

The Humitas Chilenas<\/strong> (below)\u00a0was\u00a0different and decadent — It’s a Homemade Sweet Corn Tamale Souffl\u00e9 with Shrimp and\u00a0a Cayenne Cream Sauce.\u00a0 I’d have it again next visit.<\/p>\n

\"Alegria<\/a><\/p>\n

We\u00a0enjoyed the El Gaucho<\/strong> too (below) — It’s was quite flavorful and tender.<\/p>\n

\"Alegria<\/a><\/p>\n

And it’s literally called… El Grande Final!<\/strong> (below) — A platter of Alegria’s<\/a> bite-sized desserts.<\/p>\n

\"Alegria<\/a><\/p>\n

My favorite was the Capirotada<\/strong> — Their<\/a> Bread Pudding with Fruit and Nuts.<\/p>\n

\"Alegria<\/a><\/p>\n

And yet in another room (below),\u00a0a painting class was taking place — Very cool.<\/p>\n

\"Alegria<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s an occasional gathering\u00a0at Alegria<\/a>\u00a0put\u00a0together by Brushstrokes and Beverages<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Alegria<\/a><\/p>\n

Pine Avenue<\/a> has a lot to offer — New restaurants,\u00a0long-time beloved ones and more.\u00a0 Alegria<\/a> included, there are countless reasons to spend time in Long Beach.\u00a0 LOVE the LBC and miss it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
