Crema's Take

Black Pork is a charming neighborhood gem in West Long Beach that transforms simple ingredients into craveable comfort food, from perfectly seasoned pork belly tacos with fresh tortillas to a must-try clam chowder that keeps locals coming back. The vibe is refreshingly low-key and family-friendly—tucked between two bars but maintaining its own quiet, welcoming atmosphere with easy parking nearby. Whether you're grabbing a quick Cuban sandwich or settling in for a leisurely lunch, the care put into each homemade dish and the genuine warmth of the space make it worth the detour.

So much flavor! I had two pork belly tacos, one mushroom taco, and one shrimp taco. If you're hungry then four was the perfect amount since they're small. My favorite was the shrimp followed by the pork. The shrimp were cooked to perfection and sitting on a bed of cheese which I didn't expect. The spicy mango salsa complimented it perfectly. They also provided an amazing green salsa too but I used it sparingly not wanting to cover up the flavors. If you're a shrimp fan these tacos are a must. Since pork is in their name I had to get the pork belly. The meat was melt in your mouth tender and delicious but the skin was really hard to bite through. I used a knife to cut it up which helped. I wish it had more of a chicharron texture but I still loved them. The mushroom one was my least favorite. It was good but not much flavor. The green salsa came in handy for that taco. To drink I tried the "guava and spices" iced tea. She made this to order and I was blown away by the flavors. Service was friendly and the restaurant had counter, tables, and patio seating. Parking is nonexistent. Zero parking at 10:45am. Had to park in a residential area around the corner. I truly loved the food and will definitely be back. They had an interesting variety of choices on the menu from chillaquillas to porchetta with mashed potatoes.

Fantastic food in a cute neighborhood eatery! The food is fresh, homemade and super delicious. Everything we've tried here has a little unique flair that makes it special. The clam chowder is a MUST...a little spicy, a little smoky... incredible!

Got an amazing Cuban sandwich. Fresh pig, good bread. Pork belly taco. Nice toppings and delicious tortillas. I parked down a side street and it's in between two bars but quiet at lunch. A pork friendly environment.

Food was fire! My son loved his shrimp tacos, and my pork belly tacos were bomb! The Muscles are a must have, every visit! Very flavorful! I'm mad at the can soda being $3 though. I'd rather have a refillable fountain drink.

My buddies and I like to try out all the places that are recommended in the Long Beach area. When we heard about the Black Pork in West LB we had to give it a try. I ordered the Cuban pulled pork sandwich (pictured here) and it was a big tasty portion of pulled pork. I saved half of it to eat later. Other items ordered were the empanadas, tacos and soup. They do a real good job cooking here. All the food was tasty. Would like to go back and sample the rest of the items on the menu. Only one complaint... the staff needs to water their plants outside more regularly. The majority of them were real thirsty for some water. Other than that we recommend you visiting.
