    Quaint place in the neighborhood... Cant believe no one's talking about this restaurant... I go with my bowling buddies every Tuesday night and we try and see who can eat the tsunami the fastest... It's always Liam... LOL. Check out his seven pictures on the wall of this fine establishment... Their giant cookie for dessert is also to die for.

    Place is Going down hill!! They changed the good things on the menue! Now it's sloppy mess and inflation really hit a hold on their prices. 58.00 for 4 kids to eat . The only thing that's still good is the salsa .

    Veggie bowl with some salsa verde. Not good

    The food here is not good. Been twice and both times were really bad. I always try places twice before passing judgment. Many of the dishes are just covered in a handful of shredded lettuce or cold cheese. Pretty much the least artisanal version of tacos/Mexican fast casual possible. It's counter service which I like and they ask for a tip at checkout which is par for the course nowadays but annoying nonetheless. There is a salsa bar and plenty of parking. Small portions and prices are per taco (most of them are $6 or so). Skip this place.

    It's supposed to be a chicken quesadilla.

    We have ordered a few items from Surf Taco & decided they should just close. We typically make our own tacos & quesadillas but decided to try out Surf Taco. We usually give an establishment a 3-strike chance, but 2 was enough in this instance. We picked up our orders each time & the place was empty on both occasions. Today we noticed another Mexican restaurant that was packed, & we now know why.

    Really regret going here. Tried to order a shrimp taco on a hard shell and was told it's not possible, only chicken and beef hard shell tacos. Asked if we could order a side of hard shells and they said no because they are pre-made... I'm hoping the employee was wrong and every taco isn't made in the morning and sits out all day, but who knows. Nothing can be made to order for people with allergies, apparently. Nothing seemed fresh and $6 for one taco with 4 tiny, cold shrimp on it is crazy. Ended up paying almost $40 for one burrito and three tacos. never again. RIP

    Chicken burrito. Just ok.

    Nothing exceptional about this place. I had a chicken burrito which came with rice, beans and it tasted just ok. Food wasn't bad but I was expecting the it to be a little more authentic but this is more of a Taco Bell fast food style. Actually "not so fast food" since I had to wait about 20 to 25 minutes on a Saturday afternoon. There's another Mexican restaurant one block away, I will probably give it a try next time.

    Below average food & service.

    Less than 1 star. I have ordered from Princeton, lacey, Manasquan, point Pleasant Beach, hoping for something correct each time. Every location, the same menu item is different. Not in a good way. Spacey staff; super clueless. They have no idea what is going on and/or what you ordered. I have not received a correct order at any location. In person or over the phone, at any location, to get your order corrected, is refused . Less than a basic taco joint, at best.

    Stopped in here during a recent trip and loved the food and vibe of the place. It definitely has a beachy feel inside. They have so many different taco options it was tough to choose. I ended up going with a buffalo chicken taco and a surf taco, which was a classic fish taco. Both were sooo good. It is tough to say which was my favorite. I also ordered a side of their waffle fries which were delicious. Will definitely stop back in next time I am in the area!

    I love fish tacos. I've eaten them in California and I've eaten them in Florida. I've probably eaten too many. The fish tacos weren't even close (flour tortillas, really?) to California's or Florida's. The restroom was the best thing about the place because I was sick after the first one. It didn't taste very good, and it wasn't like I was sick ahead of time. I returned from the restroom, got my drink and the basket and tossed the rest of my food. $11 down the drain, so to speak. The person who took my order was friendly and helpful, as was the person who delivered my food.

    Admittedly I detest surf taco Folks are friendly enough, prices are reasonable however in my opinion the food is just tasteless. The ONLY reason I eat there is because of my wife and children who absolutely adore the place. It seems that no matter what I order I have to douse it in their homemade salsas (the reason for 2 stars) Last visit I had a chimichanga with chicken, it tasted as if the chicken was simply boiled and thrown together with ither tastless items. I was asking the family surf taco or this authentic mexican restaurant 2 doors down (dona julio)....yep you guessed it I lost again... Big girl had a tossed salad in a tortilla shell My wife and the little had nachos...again flavorless Their salsa and chips are passable. I guess I just dont get surf taco and thats ok.

    Veggie Taco & Mahi Taco

    We needed an easy pick up lunch on a Sunday and Surf Taco was recommended by a friend. The Coronavirus pandemic is occurring and Surf Taco has been open for pick up. We ordered online 20 mins before picking up. I called when we arrived and the employee inside place our meal in a bag out front on a table - I walked up and grabbed it - easy peasy! We got our meal home and it was DELICIOUS! I ordered the veggie taco & mahi taco - both tasted very fresh and well seasoned/spiced. My boyfriend ordered the Buffalo Soldier burrito and he loved it. Generous amount of sauce and he was happy with the chicken. They also gave us chips in the bag with our tacos/burritos and some salsa as well. We will definitely order from Surf Taco again!

    We are taking a short vacation down the shore and my significant other never had surf tacos in the past so I took him here! When we got there I realized that this is the Original surf taco which was very cool! Every time I tried surf taco was always an amazing experience! -great customer service - tasty food! - fresh ingredients - generous portions - very unique looking place The food was excellent as always (I had the garlic shrimp tacos and he had mahi mahi tacos) The shrimp was really good-- not too much garlic-- and the mahi mahi was very meaty (big portion) . If you are looking for something quick this is definitely the place to go! A lot of to go deliveries which is great jf you have friends over and want something dif than chicken fingers, pizza etc. Ps . Extra points for having paper straws and a poster for protecting our oceans from plastic!!!!! Great job guys!

    It was ok. Tacos had too much Vegetables and very little protein. Flavor was good. Rustic presentation. I would suggest to add a taco combo. I liked the salsa choices they had . Guacamole was tasty as well as Banana dessert.

    Mahi burrito is my favorite on the menu. Tacos are sub par but they are pretty consistent for a go to fish burrito.

    Am I a local? No. Am I a rule breaker? Yes. So, I went here…read more A cute little cafe where you can make your own omelet, and I did exactly that. I got pork roll, grape tomatoes, broccoli, and American cheese in my omelet. Sure, this was the third day in a row I had pork roll, but I was in New Jersey, so I was required to by several state and local statutes. Service was good - the waitress was friendly and answered all of our questions easily. I almost gave her a pop-quiz just to see how much she knew, but I figured she works hard enough as it is...doesn't need some jerk from out of town making her job harder. I'll leave that to the people from NJ. The food was delicious - the omelet was as expected for the most part. However, the pork roll was not pieces of slices but rather thick chunks, which was awesome! Before I left another wait staff person approached us. He asked me if I enjoyed listening to ska music, based on the way I was dressed. We were amused. Charming little place on a corner. Has good food, decent prices, and friendly staff. Not too busy on a Friday morning in late June, either.

I ordered a simple breakfast; eggs over easy, sausage and home fries. I also opted for hasbrown on the side (extra). It took a while for the food to come out and I will say, another member of our party ordered the omelette with French fries on the side, and the amount of fries they gave could've been more generous. The omelette took up the entire plate so they only scattered a few fries on the remaining space, rather than putting it on a new plate.
