About Selva

Selva brought Colombian-inspired cooking to Long Beach's Zaferia district and immediately became one of the neighborhood's most talked-about restaurants. Chef-owner's approach is personal — the smoked chicken with the best rice and beans dish many reviewers claim to have eaten, the sweet plantains with their caramelized edges, the braised meats that arrive with context and warmth. Sunday brunch brings its own energy. This is the kind of restaurant that makes a neighborhood feel like it has finally arrived.
