One of the burritos i have ever had! I had the pork traditional burrito. Guac was also amazing. Great place! Would recommend!

We came at 8:38 pm when the main kitchen was already closed but the taco stand was open so we got us two plates of 4 tacos for about $27 each. We tried each salsa. The red one is SPICY!!!! We also ordered the mango, guava, and lime Jarritos. It was the perfect dinner to end my days off. Tacos on a Thursday night off? Si, por favor! Wow. We loved the tacos so much, we ate 10 tacos. Lol. Thank you for the hospitality! read more

Latin Flair Month still continues... this time in North Shore! Surf N Salsa did not disappoint. We tried the Beef Empanadas with Potatoes - Shrimp Tacos - Al Pastor - and Churros with Chócale Dip. Do I need to say more :) Great outside seating - with Roster and Chickens keeping you company. Will repeat every time I'm in Oahu. read more

Taco salad surf and turf incld. A family of 5 shrimps and was one of the best taco salad I had in a long time. We got there 4pm , You pay in the front, nice staff with warning food may take 45min () but with outrageous determination, we ordered and got food within 25min, beautiful liar. It was a nice surprise in the back, we hang out with chickens , birds, surrounded by trees and plants Overall highly recommended, very very relaxing and cool food truck experience before 5pm read more

Surf and salsa moved to the waialua sugar mill area off of Goodale Ave and like always it's still fantastic great food nice people to help you decide and now plenty of parking more tables and there's live music. Love this place read more

I thought the place was pretty chill, with space to sit outside and hang out, the food have good portions and my burrito was pretty good, although the wife's fish taco was kind of lacking flavor. Quesadilla was good and overall would recommend. The lady at the register wasnt the friendliest but it is what it is. Food took a long time too so be ready to wait. read more

We were recommended this spot by a local when we asked for a good spot nearby for dinner. It was a Tuesday so they had a special for Taco Tuesday. This was the place to be, as we waited close to 30 minutes to order, maybe more. We thought you could pick tacos for the special but they had a taco station in the back of the restaurant where you got to grab the tacos from. We also got a burrito to try. The food was really good! I would say was it worth the long long line? I'm not sure. But they were really good. Plus it was this super cute backyard vibe that felt very Hawaii, plus they had a local musician playing which set the scene. read more

Surf N Salsa is exactly the kind of spot that reminds you how good simple food and a great atmosphere can be. The outdoor seating immediately sets the tone. It's casual, open, and perfect for enjoying the Hawaii weather while digging into some seriously satisfying food. There's something about sitting outside with a plate of tacos and no rush to be anywhere else that just makes the whole experience better. We ended up ordering a spread -- tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and churros -- and honestly, there wasn't a weak link. The tacos were packed with flavor, with fillings that tasted fresh and well-seasoned, all wrapped in warm tortillas that held everything together perfectly. The burrito was massive in the best way possible -- hearty, balanced, and comforting without feeling overly heavy. The enchiladas were another standout. Covered in rich sauce and cooked just right, they had that perfect fork-tender texture that makes each bite better than the last. And the churros were the perfect way to finish. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and coated in just the right amount of sweetness -- easily one of those desserts you don't want to share. Between the great food, the relaxed outdoor seating, and the overall service and welcoming vibe, this place just works. It's the kind of spot you come to enjoy yourself, take your time, and leave already thinking about what you'll order next time. read more

As a Mexican, I find it hard to find good Mexican food on island. This however, is the closest I've gotten to cali tacos on island. Tortillas are handmade, meat is well cooked (seasoned correctly) and service is great! Parking: Plenty that is shared with other food truck businesses. Cost: $6 a taco seems pricey at first but these are big boys! 1 taco, 1 torta, 1 jarito came out to $27. I was plenty full! Family friendly establishment with lots of outdoor seating in both the sun & shade. read more

YUMMY . Some of the best tacos I've had here on the island. I was so happy to see them oil the tortillas meat with super fresh and flavorful salsa was hot. Chipotle aïoli was a great addition. I loved the outside seating areas and ambience . It made you wanna sit down and hang out. Being right next to the Haleiwa distillery is a great spot is after we had a drink, we couldn't think of anything better than to have some tacos. read more

Everything is still good eating at their new location, I can tell they're still setting up slowly. They don't have menus to look at other than the one on the table when you get to cashier. And The big menu on the wall wasn't up the past few times. Other than that they have the taco station and burrito station up, not sure if they'll have a small menu there in the future for those that don't know about it, but the water station is still there. Very thankful for that read more

We came here by recommendation of one of the locals in Haleiwa. Been here for a few weeks and we enjoy finding new local spots that are not touristy. This place definitely exceeded our expectations. Food was great and super fresh. We were glad we came early before the dinner rush. Location and ambiance were also a nice surprise with the way they've laid out their outdoor space. We will definitely come back again. read more

Awesome ambiance, delicious food, and friendly service. I definitely recommend the horchata: it's creamy, sweet, and refreshing! I enjoyed the al fresco dining options in the back of the restaurant: just a really chill place to eat and decompress after a morning on the North Shore. read more

As locals and natives we love to support local businesses. I've come to this spot for many times and always loved the food. However, after today interaction with individual that was calling our food VERY RUDE! I will not be supporting this business. They aren't local or native. I definitely don't have the Lord spirit. If you're a tourist, this is a perfect spot for you and your demographic. read more

Cute Mexican food truck on the north shore. Not on the side of famous garlic shrimp truck, but across the street tucked away next to Thai, Haleiwa Burger, and another shrimp truck. They had the longest line out of them all when I arrived, and rightfully so! Everything around smelled amazing too. They have a huge menu to select from and daily specials. I got the ranchero burrito (bowl) because I'm gluten free. It was the spiciest on the menu and I think that stands true! I didn't even use the salsa they provided on the side, it was plenty wet and plenty spicy. I wish it had more carne asada and I think I'd like it more with chicken but I still enjoyed it. I opted for no sour cream and the refried beans were very runny - really my only complaint - but they tasted great. The staff was friendly and the seating area in the back is boho chic. I also got a watermelon agua Fresca - perfect for a hot day! I'd like to come back and try some of their other offerings :) read more

Surf N Salsa - Ranchero Burrito Bowl - Mexican Near Me - Waialua, Hawaii

One of the favorite Mexican food spots on the island. They have a large shared lot for parking with a bunch of other trucks & vendors. They also have A LOT of outdoor seating, I would note that if it was raining, you will NOT be good, as there is shading but not with anything super solid that will block a decent rainfall. Like what I've mentioned before, you order, they give you a number, you take a seat where-ever , they will bring you your food and take the number. What I've ordered ( I visited twice within a month so): * Carne Asada Crunchy Taco: 10/10, meat is tender and very flavorful, the toppings go perfectly together. I do wish that were was an option to do the crunchy taco toppings with a soft taco shell instead though (as I prefer a soft taco) * Chicken Soft Taco: 7.5/10, the meat wasn't as flavorful or juicy as the carne asada, there were some drier pieces, and since it didn't have all of the toppings compared to the crunchy taco, the quality of the meat was more prominent * Carne Asada Quesadilla: 10/10, SOOO good. Extremely cheesy and the carne asada never misses, as it has always been tender and flavorful. I also love both of their salsas, it is delicious and pairs perfectly with everything they have (tacos, burritos, quesadillas etc). This spot is definitely worth every penny and mile to get here. Any of their carne asada items seems to smackk. read more

Came to grab Tsunami fries a month ago and the fryer was down. Was told we would be refunded within 2 days and over a month later still never got refunded Or even reached out to after I left my email and phone number on the receipt with said manager on duty. Finally decided to come back around to talk and was graciously taken care of and got my tsunami fries in the end haha. read more

Normally I wouldn't review a place after only sampling one menu item, but Surf n' Salsa is a special place that deserves the attention! We ordered four grilled shrimp tacos (two each) and some Topo Chico bottled waters. I will be dreaming about those tacos for days to come! Perfectly cooked shrimp stuffed into large, handmade corn tortillas with onions, cilantro, cabbage, cotija cheese and served with excellent sauces on the side. Spicy and soul satisfying. I don't know who's making those corn tortillas but...damn...they are amazing! Counter service is quite friendly and food dropped at your table. The garden seating in back is a little slice of Mexico/O'ahu paradise with plenty of seating options. We are already plotting our return for house made chips and guacamole. read more

Surf N Salsa - Taco Tuesday 5 for $12. Carne asada was my fave! - Mexican Near Me - Waialua, Hawaii

Great spot! We came on a Saturday afternoon, there was only a few people in line when we arrived, but shortly the line went all the way into the parking lot! With that being said, the ordering line seemed to move quickly but I'd probably just plan accordingly if you are limited on time. We got the fish and shrimp tacos, along with the Surf & Turf burrito. All was good, but I'd definitely come back for their tacos alone - SO delicious! They have a pretty large seating area behind the food truck, so it is actually a great spot to sit and enjoy your meal too! read more

Best food truck on Oahu that we've found. The food was great the portions were generous and the staff was friendly. They have a nice big area outback with lots of seating.

They relocated in Waialua right next to my bf place. We finally have a cute neighborhood date spot! No longer BYOB like the old location. Most things on the menu are good. I love enchiladas and it's hard to find a spot on the island that can satisfy my craving (rip azteca). It can be a wait because there's always a small line and they are working out of a truck so give them a break with the wait and order their tasty and generous chips and guacamole,which will come out fast, to snack on while you wait for the entree. I really want to try their nachos next. Really cute beachy vibes and comfortable seating too. read more

Surf N Salsa - Fish and shrimp 2 Piece Tacos Plate Chips and guacamole - Mexican Near Me - Waialua, Hawaii

The food was excellent. We have visited the North Shore many times and this was our first stop coming into town. Unfortunately, the service was a little disappointing. The employee who took our order finished ringing us up and then immediately left. We stood there waiting for her, wondering if she was coming back... we never got a receipt or the little beeper to take to our table. Well, apparently she had to go on her lunch. We watched her sit down with a burrito and her water bottle. We decided to go sit down and waited for little bit, assuming someone would eventually notice when an order came out that wasn't attached to a beeper. My husband decided to go back up to the counter to see if the order on the counter was ours. The first thing he was asked for was the receipt, and when he explained that we had never been given one, there didn't seem to be much concern about the situation. The girl on her lunch even looked over and said, "oh ya, I took his order. I would've given him a receipt." Eventually, they found our receipt in the trash. Look, I get mistakes happen. I also understand this place is busy, and it can get hectic. But no one apologized for the confusion, thanked us for our patience, or seemed particularly interested in resolving the issue. Instead, we felt like we were inconveniencing them by asking about an order that had been mishandled from the beginning. This was such a minor incident, yet the whole interaction from ordering to inquiring about our food, to trying to resolve it just wasn't very friendly. We spent nearly $90, which is a significant amount for counter service food. I don't expect full-service restaurant treatment, but I do expect basic customer service, friendliness, and accountability when something goes wrong. The food was fantastic, but the service poor. read more

Best Mexican food on the island. Ordered pork, carne asada, and lengua tacos, and three types of empanadas. The tortillas are delicious and the meat was tender and well-seasoned. Parking was easy, and there was plenty of seating, though only outdoors. The food came in about 25 min for dinner. read more

drove 40 min from town, and waited 1 hour for our food. We had carne asada fries and carne asada taco plate, my husband did also get the burrito but he's gonna save that for tomorrow's lunch so no opinion on that yet . For the drinks we got watermelon and horchata which were really good ! sadly food was mid, maybe a bit more sauce on the fries. it felt like it was lacking a bit of flavor and same with the tacos. A bit disappointed since this place has a rating of 4.5 stars. it's outdoor seating and it's such a cute vibe so I would love to try this place again and order different menu items but it'll probably be awhile since like I said we do live in town. read more

Food: Great food! I got the cali burrito 4.5/5. Portion size is huge none of us could finish it. Chips and guacamole were also solid 4/5. Only downside is that they're a bit stingy with the salsa and guacamole. The agua frescas were also good! Watermelon is sweet and refreshing 5/5 jamaica 4/5. And they have tamarind jarritos! Service/ambiance: Order and self serve. They have a water filling station which is lovely! And you grab the drink out of the cooler yourself. Ambiance is great, the seating is outdoors and cute. Parking: There's a small lot outside for the food trucks in the area. read more

Always love eating here and don't come often enough. There is a wait for food, sometimes over 30 minutes, but they cook to order, everything is made fresh and it's worth the wait. Plus they have seating so you can relax, enjoy the sun and listen to some tunes while you wait. Today's haul was tacos, chimichamgas, empanada and tamale. Everything is full of flavor. We love the chicken chimichangas! They have cheese and rice inside and they are so cheesy. First time trying the empanada and tamale. We got the pork empananda and I liked the filling. It has potatoes in them too and come with a nice little salsa. The tamale had pork Verde inside. I liked the ratio of pork to masa but I didn't love the crispness of the tamale. As always though this place does not disappoint! read more

I love Surf N Salsa! It's my go to whenever I in Haleiwa. The food is always consistent and fresh. I made a take out order online and arrived 15 minutes late from the original time of pick up. However, the order wasn't ready and they told me that it would take 10 minutes. Parking is available and is free for locals, but it's limited. So if you come during lunch rush, you probably won't be able to get parking. For the food, I ordered a surf n turf burrito, carne asada fries, and beff/chicken empanadas. The burrito is huge and packed with juicy shrimp and meat, beans, rice, guacamole, sourcream and lettuce. It has a little kick and flavor was great so I didn't need extra salsa for it. The carne asada fries were again packed with crispy fries, a lot of meat, guacamole and sour cream. It's a great balance of everything. The empanadas were okay. The corn shell was made by the restaurant. The beef lacked flavor compared to everything else I got. But the chicken and cheese empanada was delicious! I wish I had gotten that instead. I will be back again... as usual lol read more

Love it here! So sad to have lost the Haleiwa location to the flood but their location they opened on a soft open only one month before in Wailua is as good as ever. Love their crispy chicken tacos the flavors are fantastic, and love their refried beans. It's a wait for sure but the setting, some chips and salsa and a little patience with hopefully good people make it well worth any wait. read more

Worst experience ever don't eat here. Super rude to my friend who asked if they had anything gluten free. Also only gave my girlfriend 10 churros instead of the advertised 11. Our server was John A but EVERYONE was rude and condescending. TOOK 53 minutes for them to make a BURRITO. Didn't have the salsa asked for. Didn't put in foil. Didn't put guacamole or sour cream on the California burrito. The place looks nice but this business needs a change and management and a new staff. read more

To put it simply - went here 4x in a week. Drove 45 minutes each way 2 of the times to eat here. The fish tacos and particularly the fish burrito was the best I had all week and maybe ever. Really fresh and light. Will be thinking about these for a long time to come read more
