The vibe is very beach and surf. So many family s with kids gave it a great feel. Fed five for a reasonable bill. The service was fast and friendly. The food was much better than expected, the green chili was some of the best in California. The portions were large and tasty. I would definitely recommend. read more

If you're looking for a Taco Tuesday "Special", don't come here. The taco selection wasn't appetizing, and 4 dollars for a below-average taco as a "special" is not a special. I don't usually leave bad reviews but these tacos earned this. I got the "pork dorado" "potato" and "chicken mushroom" tacos. The pork and potato taco had this awful salsa on top that made it almost inedible until I had to take it off. And the chicken taco just wasn't good. For a taco Tuesday place, this sucks, the tacos suck, price sucks. My server was great, thank you for being a good host young lady. Hopefully they do something to make their tacos better. read more

Borrow tacos are a must try! Filled with a good amount of meat and the sauce was delicious. Chips and salsa were good too. Service was fast and it's a cute spot to go to. We sat at the bar and watched the game that was on. read more

Taco Surf, Seal Beach, is the best Mexican restaurant anywhere, and the staff is phenomenal! Frankly, it's the only Mexican restaurant we'll go to in Orange County ... no interest to try others. The wet bean and cheese burritos are absolutely amazing! All meat dishes are great, too!! And, after the wonderful meal, walk across the street onto the pier and enjoy the sunset. There is no place better. read more

After walking by this place many, many times we finally decided to stop in for dinner. The Grilled Elote ($9.95) was terrific but definitely had a kick to it with the chilis. If I ordered that again, I would see if those could be on the side. Besides that it had great flavor. I ordered a Veggie Bowl ($14.95) which was a big mistake. I should have got something like I regularly order like a shrimp burrito or enchiladas. But live and learn! The place has a lot of character and service was friendly and fast. read more

Just like I remember! Used to come here every year for my birthday and remember how proud I was to finish the bean and cheese burrito in one sitting for the first time, ha! Still order the same thing, still as good as ever. Chips are fresh and salsa is perfect. Friendly staff and we were there until 5 mins before close. Love the beachy vibe and can't wait to come back read more

This place rocks! Absolutely great food and great service. Second time and both were excellent. This time we brought friends. This was the one place we wanted to eat while visiting this time to the Pacific coast. The tacos, al pastor, they are the best. read more

Came here because the chips and salsa were recommended. They're ok. Not amazing, not great. I also got their Baja Fish Burrito which comes with their breaded fish. I've never had breaded fish in a fish burrito, it's usually filleted and grilled or sauteed. Honestly, almost disgusting. The breaded fish is not good. I had a hard time finishing my burrito. Next to the fish, the rest of the burrito is just ok. I'd honestly would have to be convinced to come back and try something else. read more

We were in the restaurant on Sunday evening. I watched the busboy clear the table in front of me and stick his fingers into the food on the plates. When he returned to finish cleaning the tables he used the dirty napkins that were on the table to wipe it down. Next, he just wiped it over with a white towel, it was disgusting. read more

We were spending the afternoon at Seal Beach and came here after we realized our first choice was cash only. This is a cute little place right on main Street and seal Beach straight back from the pier. There's a bar and color lights and the Mexican paper garland. It's really pretty cute. The bathrooms are tiny but very clean. We got the last table inside, and our server was right there to help us. She brought us our drinks and some chips and salsa. They were nothing special. The chips needed salt and the salsa was okay, but not a whole lot of flavor and definitely not a whole lot of spice. We weren't very hungry so we ended up with smaller lunches. My son got a shrimp taco and an El pastor taco, and I got three chicken taquitos. All were good. The chicken taquitos had lots of fresh and juicy chicken. Our lunch was fine. We wanted Mexican and it hit the spot. I'm not sure I would raise back here, but I would stop here if I were in the area and wanted Mexican food. read more

They also offer a happy hour, which is a great bonus. read more

There were 6 of us for a family get-together visit in Long Beach. We decided to go out for dinner, and our niece recommended Taco Surf (their Seal Beach location) - and we're glad she did! Everything we ordered was delicious! I ordered the Carnitas de Puerco, my wife ordered Carne Asada Tacos, and the rest of us ordered a Bean and Rice Burrito and several assorted tacos: Ground Beef, Pork and Chicken, Shredded Beef, and Baja Fish. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed all the food, even commenting on how tasty and "authentic" the refried beans were. It's a small restaurant, and staff were very friendly and efficient; great service. Prices were very reasonable. Very highly recommended. read more

Five stars all the way. This is my favorite Mexican restaurant and I've been their customer for years. The food is so good and the refried beans are always nice and hot. Today I had a great server named Sabrina. She was courteous, and checked up one me making sure I had everything I needed. I was alone and usually loners get ignored but not here. The ambiance is nice and casual, and walking distance to the pier and beach. I ordered the grilled chicken tacos with refried beans, plus chips. I'm so happy they're here in Seal Beach and within walking distance from my house. Thank you again Sabrina! read more

I came here with my girlfriend, and the food did not disappoint either of us. After her first bite, I looked over to see her eyes glazed over and slowly devouring the birria tacos. I rarely see that look of pure bliss when she has a meal. I had the chicken chimichanga, and it was amazing. I only have one suggestion, and that's to add some limes or lemons to each plate for a little additional flavor. Overall, the service was great and we enjoyed the experience. No photos on this one, we destroyed our meals before we thought to take any. read more

4.7 Food was pretty dang good. The service was great, the boys liked their Birria burritos, they had a hint of clove. I had the taco salad and it was not too heavy. Perfect for what I was looking for. The highlight was the carne asada. It tasted great and was super moist and slow roasted style. Ambience was great for a chill lunch by the beach. read more

I hadn't been to a Taco Surf location in many years. Decided to stop in while in the area. Food was excellent, as was the service. Several employees interacted with us and were all pleasant. I think our server was Gianna, who was very nice and checked on us regularly. I'm glad we stopped here. Was a great experience. read more

Great place for Taco's! Clean small Beach Restaurant. Family-owned Mexican Cantina, known for Baja fish tacos & world famous Baja sauce. Staff was happy and checked on us a few times . Great vibe to relax and enjoy Taco Tuesday. They run special prices every day most street Tacos are about $3. 2pm-5pm .Then later Happy Hour Specials too! We ordered Shredded Beef Tacos & the " famous fish Taco w/ special sauce. The shredded beef was tender & tasty and had a special green sauce. The fish Tacos were delicious yummy special sauce. Sooo good, ingredients overflow they are packed full of goodness . Chips and salsa was perfection salsa fresh not to spicy and warm chips. Sooo we ended up ordering more Tacos we started with 2 each but they were so tasty we had to have more. Really 2 filled me up. Since we are from out of town I won't get this anytime soon we just went for the 3rd Taco. 6 loaded Street Tacos 2 fountain drinks, chips salsa $30 Great Price and so close to the beach! We will be back ! read more

We got here at opening and the customer service was very friendly. I ordered a lot this meal and there was hit/miss. The scorpion chowder was tasty but wasn't spicy. Wish they had regular chowder instead. The shrimp tacos were delicious and had succulent shrimps in them. The monster fries were crunchy but wish they had more toppings for its price. The burrito was whatever, there was too much rice and bean compare to fish. It overpowered the burrito and I felt like I didn't get any fish with it. Over all the place is worth a visit and has a nice eating atmosphere. Would recommend after going to the beach. read more

Some of the best nachos I've ever had!! Good price, too! Really was enough for two. Served pretty quick and nice server.

I really like this small Mexican restaurant. The service is always great. The menu is large, including liquor and beers. Margaritas! We wish the salsa was a bit more spicier but it's freshly made and never leave a drop. We love all the decor inside, small place and clean. The entrees come with plenty of food, so you won't go home hungry. A nice stroll on the pier is worth it afterwards. We chose the chili Verde and huevos rancheros, full of flavor and meat. Will definitely order again. Their rice and beans are so good. Again this location is a short stroll to the Beach and shops. Enjoy! read more

Food is not good . Kids meal burrito is so small not enough for a child to eat . Pozole was not real it's pork with a can of las palmas thrown in and didn't add lemon or lime with garnish. The only good thing is the chips and salsa & great Door Dash Driver. First and last time I will be eating from here. Find another Mexican restaurant I know there's no good ones in Seal Beach ! read more

I had this last night and let me tell you, it was so delicious! Everything from the complimentary salsa to the two taco plate! It really hit the spot for me last night!

Very go with the flow, but the service does not suffer! read more

Hands down best fish tacos anywhere. Driving between Manhattan Beach and Dana Point or San Diego, it's a must put stop.

This is a fun local Mexican place right off Main Street in Seal Beach. Authentic Mexican food with great drinks and friendly service. The ambiance is a bit dark and cramped but is kind of nice after spending time out in the hot California sun or when coming in off the beach for lunch. The free chips and salsa are great! I tried their famous Baja fish tacos which were really yummy and I found out they have a great beer selection. My husband had the nachos which were just alright but he was raving about their margaritas. We will definitely be back next time we are in town. read more

Excellent quality and taste of the catering taco stand! Will definitely keep them in mind for future parties!

Service was great. We were approached quickly. Server was attentive, chips were refilled. The Super Nachos were just the way I like them, yummy melty cheesy goodness and they added big chunks of carne asada - well worth the extra charge. It is a LOT of food! The only downside, they don't have a full bar. You can get Margaritas, but made with lower alcohol wine replacement. Good news - they had several draft beers including Negra Modelo which is one of my favorites. read more
