    Corn dish
    Marc S.

    Took the whole family out for dinner at Taco Surf and had an awesome experience. The tacos, burritos and the chile rellano were amazing, and the corn dish was absolutely fantastic. Everything came out quickly, the service was fast, and the food was top-notch. Highly recommend if you're looking for great food and a fun, casual spot!

    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.

    Carne Asado Tacos

    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.

    Food 4/5 The food was quite good! I especially enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa. I ordered the fish taco, which was well-prepared and full of flavor. I also appreciated that it came with guacamole; it was a nice touch. Overall, I was very satisfied with my meal. Customer Service 5/5 Excellent customer service! The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the experience enjoyable. Ambience 4/5 The restaurant's location was great!! I loved that it was within walking distance of the beach and pier. While the inside was a bit dark, the overall atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming. Cleanliness 4/5 The place was well-maintained, nothing to complain about. Wait Time 5/5 There was no wait for seating, and the food was served fairly quickly. Cost 5/5 I was very pleased with the cost of the food. Considering the restaurant's location, the prices were quite reasonable. I received a generous portion along with a drink, and the total bill was surprisingly affordable. They also offer a happy hour, which is a great bonus.

    Frank and Sabrina were our servers at the bar, everything on point as fuck!! . Drinks flowing .and we loved the experience

    Warm chips and great salsa before ordering.

    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!

    Came in for lunch and really enjoyed my chicken bowl! Great amount of chicken, rice, beans and baja sauce. Our waitress was very friendly. Food is delicious!

    Scorpion Chowder,
    Marcela F.

    This restaurant is in the heart of Seal Beach. You can eat inside or outside with non alcoholic drinks. Service was prompt and friendly. Food was good. Parking of course is metered or two hour parking. Walk to the pier and lots of shopping.

    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 !

    Wet burrito
    Alis A.

    Absolute best cantina in town. Sabrina ALWAYS gets our order so perfectly correct. Service here is impeccable, and the food is amazing and reasonable. If you're around, this is definitely Somewhere you'd want to stop. Can't wait to come back. Ps, order the Dulce de leche churros after your meal :)

    Scorpion Chowder
    Charnie D.

    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.

    Huevos rancheros, very tasty. Will definitely order again.

I went here at like 7:30 pm with my college club and tbh it is a really small restaurant. They do got nice, well-lit outside sitting, but just so y'know, it'll be a lil cramped inside. Service was quick! They don't take names though, so be on the lookout for your order and don't lose your receipt. I got the chicken breast pita and all their pitas come with a nice, generous side of tzatziki sauce, which is a great move. The chicken was absolutely delicious, well charred, and super flavorful. The smokiness of the char pairs delightfully with the fresh crunch of the veggies. I also really liked the pita bread, and the whole thing was perfectly filling for a dinner. In total- $10 which is JUSTIFIED. My friends also got the gyro pita, gyro fries, and the kabob platter with steak and shrimp. All for justified prices, I think, and all super delicious.

    What has happened to Athens west- sb?…read more There are so many choices of great places to eat and this has always been one of our weekly spots. Will have to think twice next time before going back. We were eating there Saturday night at around 7:30pm and all of the sudden the chefs cranked up the music in the grill area so loud we could not have a conversation sitting in the restaurant. The other problem was that there was already music playing so you had two very different music selections playing loudly. We thought they must have been closing soon and wanted everyone out but they said they close at 9pm. It was a great way to empty the restaurant and we all left. I think the staff thought it was funny but somehow I don't think the owners would have found it funny. Like I said, there are too many great choices of places to eat in sb. Will take a break from Athens west for a while.

With a warm, inviting aesthetic, Jan's Health Bar serves fresh & fit food, for those looking to fill up, semi guilt-free. With my birthday month promo, I asked the cashier for her recommendation between the Hippy, Strawberry Delight or Chunky Monkey smoothies. Without a bat of an eyelash, she declared Chunky Monkey should be my pick, as it's the most popular. Thus, Chunky Monkey it is! Chunky Monkey- Banana, raw peanut (or lightly toasted almond) butter, cacao nibs, dates, maca, chia seeds, chocolate protein (w/ ashwagandha), & almond milk. Smooth & cooling on a hot summer day, the Chunky Monkey hit the spot, after eating a sub sandwich from nearby Beach Cities Deli & BBQ. The thick concoction had just enough sweetness to satisfy the sweet tooth. The caocao, maca & ashwagandha provided their health benefits (especially for male vitality *wink, wink*), and the sumptuous drink was delicious down to the last drop. Service was excellent. I was greeted in a friendly, hospitable manner. A little bit of wait for the smoothie to be prepared, but nothing exorbitantly so. A good amount of seating inside, parking is in a private lot shared by Obra Bakery, Club Pilates, Yoga Six & other businesses. My first visit to Jan's Health Bar, and I'm a fan. The great birthday month perk afforded me the opportunity to try their incredibly good Chunky Monkey, and I'm looking forward to coming back and exploring the rest of their menu.
