I went to this place cuz my friend was craving some burgers. It's like your typical local burger joint like Nogales Burger, but cleaner looking. I got a fish sandwich ($4.19). I think that costs way too much. The sandwich wasn't huge and it wasn't that great. I finished it though, cuz you better be a pretty horrible fish sandwich for me not to finish. We also got fries ($1.50) cuz I knew I wasn't gonna get full from my sandwich. I don't know why, but I just don't like steak fries much. You know the fat fries they always serve at these burger joints.

fish sandwich. needs more fish. needs more everything.


My friend got the Colima Burger Special which cost about $5. I think it came with jalapenos or some kind of peppers or chili. He said it was good, but as he was nearing his last bites, he couldn't stand too much of it anymore. He also said it was super greasy, but he's always like that. If I ate it, I probably wouldn't have thought so. There's people who always complain about the grease, and there's people who just don't notice or don't give a s#!t. He's the former, I'm the latter.

For me, nothing special about the place. For people who eat meat, maybe it'll fulfill your greasy burger cravings.

I've been going to Nogales Burgers since I was in Junior High. After school, I'd walk here with my friends and get either a) $1 fries, b) 2 for 1 hamburgers (if it was Monday or Tuesday), or 3) chili cheese fries. The hamburgers were about $2 back in the day. I don't know how much they are now. Once high school and a driver's license came along, I kind of stopped going there. We would go to far away places to eat (3 miles or so) just cuz we could.

I've been to a few burger joints just like Nogales Burgers and I think they're all pretty much the same. Yeah, they have a few unique dishes and things the locals always order, but for the most part, it's hard to tell them apart. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, because I'll still go to Nogales Burgers now and then. Plus, if you've been going there for a while, you might run into old friends and catch up. It's a good, cheap place to eat. I'm sure everybody pretty much has a Nogales Burgers kind of joint near them.

Anyways, I went here for breakfast. I got the huevos rancheros as always, and my girlfriend got the breakfast burrito. I liked my meal and so did my girlfriend. We spent about $10 for a nice, big, greasy meal-- and I'll do it again.

"Bouchees..." is that French? Well, whatever it is, it's pretty bomb. I didn't wanna go here at first, cuz I thought it was just gonna be like any other sandwich place. But, since I was hungry from work, I decided to give it a shot.

This place is located in Downtown Long Beach on Long Beach Blvd., but you have to find meter parking or park in the structures near Wal-Mart. I don't know if they validate, so you take that risk if you want.

Bouchees is I guess what you call a modern kind of place. I don't really care about that too much. What I care about is the food and the prices. Bouchees serves salads, sandwiches, burgers, soups, and appetizers. What's kinda cool about this place is that you can order mini versions of the sandwiches and burgers if: a) you're on a diet. b) you have the appetite of an infant. or c) you want to try other burgers/sandwiches. I myself would fit into the "c" category.

I didn't order the minis yet, but Mimi (my girlfriend) did. I got the organic vegetable burger-- regular-sized. That cost about $6.00. Although expensive, I would order it again. Another down-side to that is that it doesn't come with fries. I also got the crab minestrone. That was good. I would definitely order that again. Mimi got mini crab cake sandwich and the mini ahi tuna sandwich which you can customize yourself. Both of those were good. We also got the herb parmesan fries.... bomb. One thing to remember whenever you eat here is, you should try the homemade ketchup. I'm a ranch guy, but this ketchup was waaay better than anything else.

I don't know if everybody would like this place. It's a little yuppie-ish, the prices aren't that cheap, and the menu is pretty limited. I don't care. I'm going here again fo sho. Au revoir.
