Los Altos aka Taco Beach "Bellflower" FACEBOOK -
Sports Bar or Family Restaurant?
(UPDATE 9/17/13 Two days after the story below was posted, Taco Beach Bellflower [Los Altos] took down the FACEBOOK page that is described in the post below)
(UPDATE 9/16/13 One day after the story below was posted, Taco Beach Bellflower [Los Altos] updated their FACEBOOK page and removed most of the photos relating to alcohol: Taco Beach Bellflower changed their cover photo. about an hour ago)
9/15/13
After Taco Beach in Los Altos (called Taco Beach Bellflower on FACEBOOK) owner Kevan Vance applied for a liquor license from 8 am until 2 am-everyday, a meeting was called by 4th District Councilman Patrick O'Donnell to get the concerned neighborhood to meet with Vance about his plans and discuss the neighbors concerns. At the O'Donnell meeting, and the subsequent Long Beach Planning Commission's Meeting, Vance said at both venues that his plans were for a "family restaurant" where the customers could enjoy a margarita with their taco.
The Type 47 restaurant alcohol license was issued with numerous restrictions to make sure that the establishment was a "restaurant" and not a bar that catered to the college students less than a mile away.
A Type 47 Restaurant alcohol license is defined by the Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) bureau as the following:
Of the eleven pictures on the
FACEBOOK page as of September 12th, none are of food, 5 show alcoholic drinks or the bar area.
The rest are of waitresses posing in scanty "football" attire- after all nothing says "family restaurant" like sexy waitresses-right (think"Hooters") ?
The Taco Beach "Bellflower" entries from Taco Beach are almost all about drinking... and little about food...and nothing about being a "family restaurant". See for yourself:

A Type 47 Restaurant alcohol license is defined by the Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) bureau as the following:
ON SALE GENERAL – EATING PLACE - (Restaurant)
Authorizes the sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits for consumption on the licenses premises. Must operate and maintain the
licensed premises as a bona fide eating place. Must maintain suitable kitchen
facilities, and must make actual and substantial sales of meals for consumption
on the premises. Minors are allowed on the premises.
The Taco Beach Bellflower (Los Altos) FACEBOOK page however suggest that the establishment would like to be known more as a "Sports Bar" than restaurant regardless of its Type 47 Liquor License.
Despite the assurances of a "family restaurant" (Click on to read: FAMILY) Happy Hour and the Sports Bar theme are what Taco Beach Los Altos apparently is promoting on its social media site. The FACEBOOK page which went up in August clearly markets the Type 47 Restaurant License as a "sports bar". The FACEBOOK self posted description of Taco Beach on September 12 was:
"Taco Beach on Bellflower Blvd. is the NEW Bar/Restaurant in the city of Los Altos (Long Beach)."
When you click on the blue hyperlink of "Sports Bar" on the front page of the Taco Beach "Bellflower" FACEBOOK you are directed to other Long Beach "sports bars" like- Acapulco Inn ( on 2nd St), Legends ( also on 2nd St) and the Bull Bar (on 7th St). Not exactly the restaurant row of "family restaurants".
