Excellent tacos, fresh guacamole, tasty sauces, LARGE portions and great friendly service. I go at least once a week, tacos and burritos are consistently yummy! read more

I'm from AZ and flew to Ouahu to meet family to celebrate a birthday and graduation and we had quite a big group but Surf N Turf Tacos was the best place we could have done this! There was room for all of us outside to enjoy the weather, the food was fantastic, we tried the tacos, the nachos the quesadiallas and a dessert that was to die for, the service was quick and friendly and really added to the fun of our celebration! read more

Being from San Diego, I have replaced one of the major food groups with Mexican Food. I was about two weeks out from our flight to Hawaii, when I started to ponder the question: Does Hawaii have any Mexican Food? The quick answer is Yes, but then it becomes a question is it any good? On our first night in Waikiki, we walked passed the Surf N Turf Taco. It was really close to the Hotel which was a total relief. Though I was really trying my best to get out of my comfort zone in terms of food department. Surf N Turf Taco became my fail safe - though wasn't aware how soon that would be. One of the other things I quickly learned, it's tough to find a Dr.Pepper on Island. Was so relieved when I saw Surf N Turf Taco had it on tap. What truly makes this place special is the owner Grant. Very friendly individual that totally made you feel like welcome. It's a smaller shop but there was plenty of room to grab a quick bite. I did end up picking up more than just a Dr.Pepper and was pretty impressed with the Burrito and Salsa. Was relieved to find Mexican Food day 1. read more

Skip this place. Ordered via Uber Eats, so no comments on staff, service, or restaurant itself. We ordered a bunch of different stuff - shrimp tacos, fiesta bowl, burrito, quesadillas. The guacamole was creamy smooth (not in a good way). Reminded me of something blended. It was $4 for a small plastic takeout thing you'd put peppercinis in. The sour cream was liquidy. I wonder if they mix with something to stretch it further and be more profitable on it. And it Recommendation, skip the fiesta bowl and quesadillas and stick with the tacos and the burritos. And I would avoid the steak and stick with the shrimp and pork. The steak was hard, almost reminding me of jerky and the pre-cooked Costco steak pieces. Oh and skip the garlic fried rice. Hard, and not good at all. Three stars for average food and exorbitant pricing not justifying the quality of the food. Better choice in my mind is South Shore Grill on Monsaraat. read more

Chipotle meets taco shop. Space is small, but there is plenty of seating or take to go. You place your order, then they assemble and add very similar to a chipotle. The burritos are boasted to be 1lb and this is true from the size. There is a lot of filler (rice & beans) and the meat selection is probably 30% of the burrito. The burrito was bland, filling but bland. The side sauce helped but tasted the condiments more than the insides. Service was in haste to get ppl moving, but it is basically simple once you see the person in front of you. Very disappointing as this was the first taco shop style and was hoping for a better experience with the food. read more

Super disappointed when I got in line to order carne asada fries but the person told me carne asada was only available for online orders. I didn't see any signs that stated that previously. I didn't want to wait to place an online order so I tried their carnitas fries and beer battered fish tacos. The beer battered fish was humongous. It barely fit beside my taco and mouth! It was also very tasty. However, the sauce made my taco very liquidy and made my taco soggy. My fries were pretty basic. You place your order and then you go down the line like Subway or Chipotle. The carnitas wasn't flavorful and very dissatisfying. The line moved quickly though. There's some indoors and outdoor seating. You can also order at the kiosk. read more

Do not eat here. Go somewhere else. I ordered to go. I paid extra for a surf and turf burrito. Which is steak AND shrimp. Got back to my hotel room. It only had ONE shrimp. Way at the end. I even tipped. I won't be back again. read more

Grilled fish and garlic shrimp tacos were very fresh, they cooked both the fish and shrimp to order. Quick service and great flavors.

Ordered tacos and the service was quick and great, food was delicious as well. The location is nice since it's in Waikiki and there are many restaurants, etc. read more

Surf N Turf - 3 Stars This was my very first stop after checking into my hotel in Waikiki, and let me tell you--the late-night crowd and laid-back vibes had me sold before I even stepped inside. Watching happy people devour their food outside was all the confirmation I needed. I waited about 15 minutes in line, which wasn't bad. Honestly, I was too busy going back and forth in my head about whether to get tacos or a burrito. After watching a few orders roll out, I landed on a garlic shrimp and Kalbi beef burrito--yes, a wild combo, but baby, it made my night three times better. The flavors blended beautifully, and it hit every craving I didn't even know I had. Inside, the staff was super friendly and patient, even with the rotating, slightly tipsy crowd. They explained the sauces and spice levels like pros and kept the energy up the whole time. My burrito was massive, and I easily had leftovers for another meal. Is this a must-stop compared to other spots in town? Not necessarily. But it's solid, quick, and a great option for breakfast, lunch, or that late-night craving after a beach day (or a few drinks). I can't comment on parking because everyone seemed to be walking the strip--which I recommend. It's the perfect way to walk off the meal. Plus, they've got plenty of fruit juices and drink options to refuel. read more

Spur of the moment, friends and I came in for some Mexican food. This was do you'd and the price was very reasonable. I'm from Southern California, we have so many good good Mexican restaurants, and this place was right there with them, plus my burrito bowl had tons of meat with lots of flavor. read more

If your on doordash or your walking into this place run away. They keep their tongs in the murky water and they call it cleaning. You can literally see the mold and bacteria growing. I watched someone eat this and against all odds I had tried some chicken after requesting the food to not be handled with the mystery tongs. I've been sick for 3 days and its been horrible . All the food is cross contamination. Just go across the street to get food. The homeless wouldn't even eat it when I offered it to them lol. Vibe is also trash for such a nasty place they sure got attitude to work there read more

Overall, I'd skip this spot. The staff are nice and it's very affordable but the overall quality wasn't great. I ordered the Baja fish tacos and they were really hard to eat/mostly breading. My mistake for putting 3 sauces on there, but it didn't taste like much. The chips and guac were good. My fiancée tried the carne asada burrito and said it was so so. Total was less than $40 for all three items. read more

Awesome fish tacos!! Had the beer battered fish tacos with the three sauces. I think it was called aloha fire. I'd definitely have it again. Sometimes you just need an amazing taco to jump start the day. And these tacos did that perfectly read more

This spot is on a busy street in Waikiki and there are consistently folks coming in and out so we gave it a try and I can see why folks line up for it. You have to line up and pick your entree and all the toppings. They have all of options but it is quick even when it is busy. The go-to here are the 2 taco combo, burrito or asada fries. The asada or fish are solid and I get it with everything, so this ended up being pretty loaded that it took a big bite to get it down. The house sauce is fire but most the sauces are tasty. The salsa is really good and takes the flavor to the next level. It comes with the combo with chips so that is worth getting. If you want a hefty meal the asada fries are loaded and a heavy portion even for 2. There are other options for meats so you can ever go wrong with a tray of tacos! read more

The food was very yummy and flavorful ! I ordered the garlic grilled shrimp tacos (2) and an Ala carte order of their grilled fish taco with chips and salsa on the side. Shrimp tacos are my go to when ordering tacos so I'm very pleased that the tacos were delicious and that the shrimp were perfectly grilled and seasoned! I was a little bummed that they forgot my guac in the tacos since that's what I also ordered as one of my toppings but nonetheless it was still yummy . I'm also super picky with fish tacos , I don't care for beer battered fish so I'm glad they had a grilled option for the fish. The fish was grilled and seasoned to perfection as well and big! Luckily they didn't forget my guac in this taco so I could taste it all come together. The chips were good.. however I didn't really care for the salsa. It was pretty bland and tasteless , but I'm glad I tried it either way. I would consider coming back if I'm ever craving. read more

Solid burrito that we picked up on a whim. Portions were good and price was ok. Service was quick.

Best super burrito in Waikiki. Waikiki price sure, but the burrito is as big and flavorful as it gets.

Anyone who gives this place more than 2 stars has to be a friend of the business and never had a good Mexican burrito or taco. I read a review that says "fresh guacamole" nope, it was green paste! We sat outside and tried to eat this food but threw it away. They have no green or red salsa for the food only a table salsa for chips which taste lemony and no flavor. Once again, Hawai'i is notorious for bad ethnic food. read more

The garlic shrimp tacos are SO good! And the owner is so great. Muchas gracias y felicidades en tu buen negocio!

My beef quesadilla was good, but it was a little uncomfortable having to stand there while the older woman employee was yelling at the younger coworker in front of the 5 to 6 customers in line. She was scolding him for assisting the guys in line before preparing the online order for the girl that was waiting for her pick up. if I was that guy I would've walked out/quit if someone spoke to/yelled at me like that. She could have spoken to the employee, with respect, after preparing the online order and taking care of the line. I hope the owners read this. **Someone contacted me after I posted this to say that they would look into this incident. read more

Grilled fish tacos - 4 stars Hole in the wall place with a line out the door so it must be good. There no place to sit so we decided to look for a different place for dinner. I went back the next thought for an afternoon snack and go the grilled fish tacos which were excellent. The place seemed Mexican but was a little shocked not to Mexican packaged foods on the bare walls cause I would have gotten some chicharonnes and a Mexican coke. read more

I ate here 3 days of my 5 day stay...yeah, that great! The beer-battered fish tacos and garlic shrimp burritos are both excellent choices! I love that you can pretty much customize everything. I will definitely hit Surf N Turf Tacos on my next visit to Honolulu. read more

Stopped here for a quick dinner. I got a kabli rib burrito. I like that you get to choose what goes in it. The lady working was nice and skilled. The burrito was pretty good!

I love tacos so I thought this place would be a good choice. The store seems authentic on the inside but that's as good as it gets. First issue was that we were standing in line to order and the server never said a word. Then two guys come in and start ordering food. Second, I order dos Tacos with Carne asada and rice and beans combo. The server made me chicken tacos and forgot about my combo. At checkout she only charged me for the tacos then when I saw the receipt I pointed out it said chicken and I ordered Carne asada. Then she tells me to wait so she can get the next person checked out. Third, instead of just charge me the additional amount for the combo she refunds my card and now I don't have enough money to pay because I have to wait 3-5 business days to get my money back. Then she just stands there staring at me like it's not her problem when she created the problem. Fourth, tacos were okay. The rice was both hard and mushy. Like they mixed yesterday's rice with today's which was undercooked. Beans tasted burnt too. Not at all worth the $24, 20 minute wait and the headache. read more

Surf N Turf Tacos - Battered fish tacos - Mexican Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Very nice staff and welcoming. I love that they cook your meat of choice when you place your order. I ordered the kalbi burrito, something different from the typical burrito meat choices. It was delicious and interesting in a burrito with its sweat taste. I love when places makee BIG burritos, but this place was too big to handle. My burrito instantly started coming apart because of how much stuffing was in the tortilla. At first i thought it was just the kalbi beef, but a few customers sitting around me had the same issue. My burrito essentially turned into a burrito bowl, where I opened the tortilla in a bowl. The staff was nice enough to provide a corn tortilla to eat with the opened faced burrito. All in all, an okay experience. read more

I love all the customizable options and my burrito was amazing. The Carne Asada was much better than the chicken in my opinion.

Tacos were the craving, and this spot was the closest to us. I ordered 2 Shrimp Tacos, with a drink. I like the concept where you choose the toppings and the portions for your tacos, like Subway or Chipotle. We sat outside, since the Hawaiian night was warm and enjoyable The 2 tacos were delicious and well made. Shrimp was seasoned, and the toppings were fresh as well. Service was great, and the music in the background were it. With a calm night, the ambiance was perfect for a night out with friends. read more

Surf N Turf Tacos - 10/10 Mexican - Mexican Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I remember this restaurant when they were located near diamond head near monsarrat. Went there every week, once a week for their beer battered fish tacos. It's been quite a number of years since they've moved locations (not sure if there were 2 stores). My husband used to also frequent this spot when he had jobs. It's been about 10years since having a plate and BRAHHHHH ITS STILL FRIKEN BOMB!! The fish tacos is still MEAN!! Like the best. The best freaken beer batter fish tacos ever. They always load the plate. Even my husbands quesadillas was HEAVY. The staff is friendly and the food is mean. read more
