Two men were stabbed shortly after 1 am in the downtown Long Beach Taco Beach.  Later a third stabbing victim showed up at a local hospital.


Police believe that the Taco Beach stabbing and the third stabbing are related. The Long Beach Gang detectives are investigating the incident.

The Downtown Taco Beach "Cantina" draws a younger nightclub crowd on the weekends.




In February 2013, Serena Medina, a 24 year-old mother was killed when she was run-down on Pine Street after leaving a fight in the downtown Taco Beach.

According to the Press-Telegram report:
"Witnesses observed a group involved in an altercation, Arrona said. Family members of the victim said it started at Taco Beach, 211 Pine Ave. It is unclear who was fighting, but a crowd ultimately spilled out onto the street, they said.

Peralta said two men got into a car and reversed the vehicle, hitting Medina"

Taco Beach has three locations, Downtown, the Airport and Los Altos Village.  When opening the Los Altos Village location the owner originally applied to stay open until 2 am.  The Los Altos Village residents protested the liquor license at the local and state level.  Restrictions on the license resulted in the Taco Beach Los Altos Village location becoming a family friendly local favorite.  

Two years ago the owners applies to extend alcohol serving hours past the restrictions at the Los Altos Village location. Residents objected to the extension and pointed to the original agreement to withdrawal their protests to the alcohol license which was partly due to the current restrictions on the hours.  Facing an ABC denial of the request, the owners withdrew the increase to increase alcohol  hours request.
