    BBQ chicken bowl
    Nicole H.

    Was really hungry. Never been and was underwhelmed. Got a Maverick burrito with guac. It was surprisingly bland. No sauce, no seasonings, no flavor. If I were to go again, I wouldn't order the burrito. My partner had the BBQ chicken bowl and enjoyed it.

    This time they added pico thinking I didn't want tomato, lol.
    Jim T.

    This location is unfortunately not cutting it anymore. Ordered tonight thru the app. My screenshot shows what I put "no pico - tomato allergy". Get home and settled & go to eat, my fiance takes a bite, full of pico. Clear as day and the ticket on my bag says in red "no pico de gallo." I'd say no big deal if it didn't happen on my last order too. If her meal is ruined, so is mine because then I didn't enjoy my meal for the second time. Sorry but the app is not good and clearly the info being typed in is somehow not being seen by the kitchen or they are just ignoring it. I had to call and got told "I should see a refund in 3-4 days." Cool I feel great about my chances of seeing that...

    Chicken quesadilla with surf sauce
    Brittany O.

    I was surprised how big and delicious the tacos were for a chain restaurant. Fish was fresh and not fishy and the surf sauce was the perfect addition with the squeeze of lime. I would say reminds me of chipotle mayo ....Def my new fave quick lunch spot and for $7.99 can't beat it yummmm. The chicken quesadilla was huge as well and they didn't skimp on the fillings. I will be an often return customer, and they're on uber eats which was perfect for my lazy day off.

    Chicken tender taco with a side of guac
    Sara B.

    I've been to almost all of ST's locations and their spot in Red Bank just isn't my favorite. It has more a commercial and industrial feel and less of a beachy laid back vibe. Considering that this is one of the only locations not on the beach, I guess that makes sense. But I still prefer the Long Branch or Belmar location any day of the week. It's also always really overcrowded here. Atmosphere aside, it's Surf Taco and regardless of which location you choose, they've got delicious food that is consistent every time. I only ever order a chicken tender taco, which has crispy breaded chicken topped with ranch, shredded cheddar, pico and lettuce. It's delicious, perfect and probably one of the better things that I've had to eat. One overflowing taco with complimentary chips and a side of guac is usually more then enough to satisfy my appetite. Tacos aside, there are a ton of different routes to take. Fajitas, dillas, burritos, bowls, wraps, salads.... the list is endless. If you have never been to a Surf Taco then don't waste time. Go!

    Costa Rican Burrito with chips.
    Kimberly C.

    New favorite Tex-Mex restaurant! I had the Costa Rican Burrito. It tasted home-made, not too salty. Rice beans, pico de gallo, cheese, HUGE tortilla. It didn't upset my stomach like Chipotle usually does. I was totally digging the surfer vibe. I felt like I was in Cali, not cold NJ. If you aren't in Red Bank, there are plenty of locations in the Jersey Shore. A visit to the Jersey Shore isn't complete without Surf Taco!

    If you want to charge $2 for "fresh avocado" maybe it shouldn't be completely rotten..

My favorite thing that I like to get are their breakfast tacos. The tacos are filled with tofu scramble and topped with chili, a cheese-like sauce, and a slice of avocado. I don't know what it is, but I smash these tacos every single time I get them. They are so good! I honestly can't speak on much else because I get the same thing every time. Also, I buy one or two of their pressed juices. They make these in advance and are bottled. For the summer season, they have a juice that consists of strawberries, basil, beets, and more that is so very good. If you're looking for a place to get your vegan fix, this is the one.

Since moving to upstate NY four years ago, I only get to Good Karma when visiting family in NJ. During our latest trip we stopped at Good Karma to pick-up dinner on the way to my parent's house. We ordered the Love Bowl, Gado Gado Salad, and the Live Nachos. Issues: 1) The Gado Gada salad was a big miss. It's supposed to include lettuce, tofu, cabbage, carrots, roasted peanuts, and a sesame seed mix. There was ZERO sesame seed mix and literally ONE roasted peanut. We had asked the tofu be swapped for beans, which did happen, but basically all my wife got was a salad with lettuce and beans. 2) Live Nachos: what a HUGE disappointment. I've had these a number of times in the past and was really looking forward to these. One of my favorite parts has always been the creamy cashew sour cream. THIS TIME, there was one small dollop of the cashew cream. We basically paid $15 for a box of seasoned lettuce with 8 nacho chips -- not nearly enough chips to even eat with our seasoned lettuce. The Love Bowl, fortunately, was on par with my past experiences. However, the experience still left me questioning whether it's worth returning to Good Karma next time.
