    One of my friends raves about this place from North Jersey. He actually drove an hour each way to cater a party. It was nice the way they gave us all our own ingredients to heat up and assemble the tacos. They were good. I thought he was crazy to drive that far but he was happy with his decision. I was in the neighborhood and thought I'd check it out firsthand. Due to COVID, they're open for pickup only. There's a menu outside for you to look at so you can call. They had a good selection of tacos, burritos and bowls. The tacos come one to order but their pretty big. If your a big guy, you're going to need two to fill you up. My wife got the beef tacos. She said it was better than Taco Bell and she wasn't as worried about getting a stomach ache. I got the mahi taco. The cabbage, avocado and pineapple went together nicely. I would recommend going to surf taco if in the area, but I don't recommend driving more than 10-15 minutes each way to get there.

    The servers and workers really nice and thoughtful. Can't say a bad thing about them. The food on the other hand, was pretty foul. The only thing that was decent were these nachos. We got burritos, tacos, their Crunchwrap... all bland, gross, and unappetizing. This is like a worse version of tex mex. Def better spots in the shore, sorry

    Ugh so disappointed!!! Came here with my boyfriend after a beach day and was totally disappointed with my food. I use to love coming here and now I won't ever return. I ordered the taco salad and the salad use to come in a taco bowl and now it's just chips. So skimpy! Chicken is extremely chewy and huge chunks. Waffle fries were just ok. They aren't even waffle fries as u can see lol. Completely went down hill. Will be going somewhere else after a beach day. Three stars because the chips are good and the girl who took my order was sweet.

    I like coming here especially after a day at the beach. It's bound to get extra busy in the summer so be mindful. They offer a lot of different options of tacos, burritos and platters. Salsa is fresh and flavorful. They also have desserts and smoothies that I have yet to try. Tacos and nachos are average but they get the job done. I dig the surfer vibes/decor and the videos they show on the TVs of people surfing, makes me feel like I'm not in Jersey. There's locations all over the state but I tend to frequent this one the most.

    Manager was so rude, looked like he wants to be in *NSYNC but didn't make the cut and takes it out on customers.

    That's how much salsa came with my order

    Please step up your game :( Belmar local who just gave you ANOTHER chance despite lost orders and neglecting to follow my request to hold the tomatoes in the past. I want to like you guys so badly but every order is so disappointing. Food was super cold and my pineapple habanero salsa selection was ignored and I literally received half a ramekin of salsa (picture below before I even took a dunk). You have so much potential... just please get things right for once!!

    Although I'm a regular at Surf Taco, this is the first time I actually went to their Belmar location. All of their locations are in Jersey Shore towns, although now they have expanded to Princeton and the Rutgers area, too. The food and atmosphere are on par with the other locations. What I liked about their Belmar location is that it is fairly large given that space is expensive in that shore town. When people don't like Surf Taco, I think they just don't understand the concept. It's not supposed to be authentic Mexican food. It's a concept called "coastal cuisine," which is fun California-style food that the owner brought back to the East Coast after having lived in the sunnier state for a while. I got the signature "Surf Burrito," and it was delicious. I really like the salsa bar, as always. The fast casual concept also works very well for me. You can come on your own, you can bring kids, or you can come with a girlfriend. Everyone, regardless of how much time you have, or whatever the occasion is, will enjoy eating here. It's a great alternative to fast food. I think it's much better than Panera and Chipotle, too.

    I love fish tacos. That being said, these are not the best fish tacos I have ever had, but that's probably because I ate em every chance I had in SoCal. These are however, the best fish tacos I've had in NJ. Order at the counter, take a number, and find a seat where the staff brings you your food. Clean up is on you though. I've had the mahi mahi, salmon, surf, and shrimp tacos. My favorite is the Surf Taco, baja style, followed by the shrimp tacos. They have non-seafood tacos, but why get beef or chicken at a place called SURF taco? Their salsa bar is pretty good, and they have a Coke freestyle machine. They also have a foosball table and free stickers!

    When i think of going down the shore, i think of beach, bars, strollos and SURF TACO!! I always have to hit this place up every time i come down the shore. I absolutely love it. I normally get the 2 taco combo- i've tried chicken, steak, salmon, surf taco, and they are all good- my faves are surf taco and steak I've also had the #4 combo with the maverick burrito with surf taco. Also delicious and filling. Buffalo calamari- GREAT! They have those cool soda machines with a thousand flavor options. Its a very casual set up- You walk in, wait on line, order, and they give you a number and they bring the food to your table. They have a salsa table set up. i love the salsa verde. I cant wait to go down the shore often this summer just to stop here every time! The only reason why i'm not giving it a 5 is b/c there is sometimes a line and you have to wait a while before they take your order.

    Mmmmm tacos

    Unfortunately, this place lost its luster and disciplined cleanliness. Owners need to take a hard look and do a serious renovation.

    We saw a 1 star review on here complaining about their "delivery" meal and saying that they have…read morebeen coming to 10th ave for years but THIS was the final straw... well where are all of the other reviews that kept you coming back for years?? We also have been coming to 10th ave for years and it's a favorite for the whole family. My wife and I have been coming since we were in college and now we bring our kids. Sure maybe the food has changed over the years and gotten a little more expensive but what hasn't? We love to come for some of their special nights like Quesadillas on Wednesdays or wings on Thursdays. Their "Baby Dilla" is an unbeatable deal for the kids, I think it is $4 for a small chicken and cheese quesadilla... and the staff is always super accommodating to our little ones! You know what you're getting at 10th ave, a cold beer, good wings, chill people, and a nice night out in Belmar we will keep coming back for years to come. Hope this 5 star review balances out a ridiculous 1 star review. Sincerely, A Yelping Hand

    I have gone here for many years because the atmosphere and pricing of food was good. Service was…read moretypically good also. However, my friends and I have gotten food poisoning many times here. Half of the time we ate at 10th Ave, someone has gotten sick. We've gotten sick from the tacos, the quesadillas, and burritos. If you were to eat here, eat the wings. The safest food they serve, for now at least.
