Born in the small village of Villa Jimenez, Michoacan, Mexico, founder Manuel Orozco quickly grew a passion for the native food of his country. In the late 1950's, Manuel and his wife Socorro settled in California with hopes of achieving the American dream and owning their own restaurant that served the native recipes of their village. In 1974, Manuel and Socorro realized that dream and opened the first Super Mex Restaurant in downtown Long Beach. To this day, Super Mex is one of the premier authentic Mexican eateries in the area. Inspired by their love of traditional Mexican cuisine, Manuel and Socorro created a menu that represents the simplicity and quality of their village's native cuisine. Super Mex's signature "Super Mex Burrito" is the perfect example of classic Mexican comfort food, prepared with distinctive homemade authenticity. Tender pork carnitas, grande tortilla chips, and our legendary salsa are among the beloved staples at Super Mex.
