I can't say enough about this place! Quirky, great location and super friendly staff, this visit I got the grilled chicken nachos with rice and beans on it and let me say the BEST nachos I've ever had! Chicken was tender juicy and great flavor and I added extra cheese and rice and beans and all of it came out to $13!!!!! That's a deal considering it was two meals for me ! FYI in my opinion just as good re-heated. Will be back dozens of times, FYI plan accordingly parking can be challenging.
The fried fish tacos are the best! We went back for more because they were so great. Outdoor seating only, and the staff was super friendly. Small discount if paying with cash instead of card. Parking can be tight. Pass on the nachos and get tacos or burritos instead.
The most convenient ordering ahead process, perfect dinner for a random Tuesday :) It really is the best burrito stop!
Avoid going during the lunch rush! I came for the shredded beef green chili burrito and while it was worth it, the wait was about an hour so just be prepared. That said, the burritos are stiffy solid (literally and figuratively), the asada is always flavorful, and their signature slushies are a must. I haven't tried the shrimp yet, but it's on my list. Can't get away from the green chili personally lol Parking can be hit or miss during peak hours, but the turnover is pretty quick. The staff are super patient, even when it's busy, which makes ordering a lot less stressful. This spot is great whether you're doing pickup, walking in, or hanging out. There's plenty of outdoor seating and the whole vibe feels like a chill beachy burrito shack. I've been coming here for a while and it never disappoints. Just expect the line to keep getting longer because it's that good.
I had pretty high hopes for Beach House because of the large number of reviews and strong overall rating, but unfortunately my experience didn't quite live up to the hype. The service was actually great. From the moment I ordered, I only waited a couple of minutes before my food was brought out to my table, which I really appreciated. As for the food, it was mid at best. The only things I genuinely enjoyed were the passionfruit lemonade slushy and the chips. I ordered the chips with pico, the passionfruit lemonade slushy, and two shrimp tacos. The tacos were honestly a letdown. The tortillas were thick and the texture just felt off to me, which made them difficult to enjoy. They also came with chipotle mayo, which I'm personally not a fan of. That part is on me for not noticing it on the menu, so I wouldn't necessarily fault the restaurant for that. What really turned me off, though, was the bathroom. I walked in because I needed to use it and immediately walked right back out. It was dirty, had flies flying around, and honestly gave the vibe of a poorly maintained public restroom. That definitely impacted my overall impression of the place. That said, it's clearly a popular spot. The line was long when I arrived and didn't get any shorter after I ordered, so plenty of people seem to love it. For me personally, though, it just didn't hit the mark. Since I was only in town traveling for work, the odds of returning were already low--but after this experience, I can confidently say I wouldn't come back.
Omg, this was my first time trying this place and I'm so glad I did! Everything was really yummy, and the prices were actually super affordable too. The whole place has such a cute, hippie vibe, and I loved that they have outdoor seating with misters, it makes sitting outside way more enjoyable. Their slushy lemonade is seriously SO good! I got the cherry coconut flavor and I'm already craving another one. I'll definitely be coming back!
The Beach House Tacos had been on my list for a long time, and I finally got to try it. The menu is quite extensive--tacos, burritos, nachos, rice bowls, and even hot dogs. My husband and I both went for rice bowls: he chose the Surf & Turf, and I ordered the Cactus Veggie Bowl. The portion sizes were on the smaller side, but they felt fair for the price. Nothing is overpriced like some of the more popular taco spots. Flavor-wise, the Surf & Turf was good but nothing extraordinary. I enjoyed my Cactus Veggie Bowl as well. The one downside for both of us was the excessive chipotle mayo--it overpowered the other flavors. We ordered the mango habanero salsa on the side, and that was definitely a highlight--really delicious. Overall, it's not a place I'd crave or go out of my way to revisit, but if you're in the area, it's worth a try. It's good value for money.
I just got back from California yesterday for a quick trip where I had some delicious So Cal taco shop food that I enjoyed. This fun CA inspired beach shack was something I would expect to see at the beach, but there it is on my way to Arcadia :) This spot was solid. $2.50 for a taco, yes please. I happened to place my order online and then went to pick it up. This was my first time trying this restaurant and it was great that I pre-ordered. It was pretty busy when I arrived at 1pm on a Saturday. The prices are great, I had a fish taco, cheese & veggie quesadilla, and a bean & cheese burrito for $15 something. The food was good. I like how it's very casual and unassuming. I took no issue with the items I tried, and I really liked the green and volcano salsa. Good flavor! Next time I'm in the area I would definitely come back and try other items. They have outdoor seating so this is a nice weather spot. If there's any other seating I didn't see it.
Had a weeknight dinner here. Got two grilled fish tacos and one shrimp. Both were phenomenal! The sauce and salsa were great additions as well.
They were very busy when I visited (line out to the side walk) but it went quite fast and after I ordered my food was out in about 10 minutes! I got the fish taco, cactus taco, and loaded pork quesadilla. Fish taco was very fresh (not fishy at all!) and was melt in your mouth tender. The cactus taco was incredible, so fresh tasting and perfectly seasoned I would say it's a must try! the pork quesadilla was tender, cheesy, and full of flavor. I also got the desert pop slush to drink and it was refreshing and a great pairing to the food. I ate so much food but didn't feel gross and bloated so I know it was good quality stuff! The outdoor seating and decor was great and really fit well with the food. Come check this place out!
The Beach House doesn't have ocean views, but it does have food that tastes like a vacation! Prices won't break the bank. we ordered Fish Tacos (Fried to perfection) Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. Carne Asada Burrito was surprisingly balanced with every bite. The Fish Bowl was flavorful, fresh, and light enough to pretend I was making healthy choices.nThe service is lightning fast - and considering how long the lines can get, the staff handles it all like seasoned pros. Bottom line - Delicious food. Affordable prices. Speedy service. Total must-try.
So my husband has been wanting to try this place for over 3 years and we finally made it today! This little taco spot is all the rage. The locals visit here and the lines are long. My husband had the grilled fish burrito. The fish was delish, the beans were fire, and loved the slaw guacamole and hot sauce. I tried loaded nachos with green chili shredded beef. The beef had great flavor and the ooey gooey nacho cheese sauce was good. I will definitely get tacos or a burrito next time as I caught myself drooling over my husband's burrito and the people next to us tacos. We sat outside as that's the only downside in the summer- no indoor seating. The misters were helpful to keeping us cool as was the watermelon green apple slushy known as trick or treat slushy. Please try this place when you are in the area. It really is worth the time
Food was superb. I got a fish taco and a shrimp taco. My wife got a chicken taco and an Asada taco. We got a rental car at the airport after flying in. Asked the girl leaving where's a good place to get food she immediately said two hippies Beach House the service was excellent we ordered and before you knew it, she came walking out with our tacos, we sat outside in the misters. I love the ambience of the place very friendly. I recommended a must try. I will eat again.
Reviews are largely positive. Many highlight the fresh, flavorful tacos, casual beach atmosphere, and affordable pricing. Service is generally friendly and quick, and people enjoy the creative slushie drinks.

I really like the fish tacos but what I like the most is the spicy red sauce. Lemonades are good and the prices are affordable! read more
If you're looking for beachy, Cali-style tacos, this is the best value spot in town. Service is friendly and fast, and the portions for the price and quality are unbeatable. I find the 2 for $5 tacos to be a filling meal, since the size is a little bigger than your classic Mexican street taco. My go to is the nopales, but their specials are always great. They don't have any indoor seating, but the shaded picnic tables with misters are pretty bearable for anything about 100 degrees and under, in my experience. It helps that they have cheap frozen slushies in just about any flavor you could think of. They also have a cute hippie vibe, with a classic VW bus and other fun, funky decor. read more

I want to love this place, but it's just ok. The tacos are greasy and don't have a ton of flavor. I do like that I can order online and that the food is quick. There's very limited seating so I have picked up my tacos/ burritos. Maybe they would be better if I ate them there. I find myself going to other taco places in the area before I go here read more

Still one of my absolute favorite places! I take everyone here and always recommend it. Beach House is a fast-casual, tiny spot with only outdoor seating. Look for the blue VW! They have fans and misters available to keep it cool during the summer. Service is always pretty fast. I have tried a pretty good portion of their menu at this point, but some of my favorites are: green chili beef burrito, red chili beef loaded quesadilla and carne asada rice bowl with sweet chili. My daughter loves their carne asada, pork and chicken. My partner is obsessed with the pork burrito and also loves their fish tacos and shrimp tacos. As someone who normally doesn't like fish or shrimp tacos, I also enjoy the ones made here! Honestly, you really can't go wrong with any of the food here! In addition to their excellent food, you can also get a frozen lemonade with basically any flavor you could think of. Prices are so reasonable here too. Food comes out pretty quickly. Make sure to get some red or green salsa too! You will not be disappointed when you visit. It's also always SO nice to support awesome local small businesses! read more
Cool concept. Give 3.5 stars. We came on a chilly night so was a bit cold to sit outside. They need to get a liquor license. Ordered a couple different tacos, wasn't impressed with my fried fish one, wasn't hot out the fryer. They mainly just chuck a bunch of toppings all over. They were average tacos at best, was expecting more flavour. read more

**This review is for the fried fish tacos only** I've been so excited to try this based on raving reviews and since there's always a long line when we pass by! We decided to do to a pickup order for our fried fish tacos. Got home and we were extremely disappointed. The slaw and green salsa were good, but the fish itself was 95% batter. I even dissected the batter to try to find the fish. The texture of the whole fried fish was similar to funnel cake texture. That's nice that they're so cheap (3 for $7), but if you actually want fried fish, I'd suggest not getting them here. I ate one and was done. I'm willing to go back and try something else, but I would never get fried fish tacos here again and 10/10 do not recommend. read more

This spot is a Phoenix classic! Cheap eats that are delicious and come out fast. I got a grilled fish and grilled cactus on corn tortillas. The food always tastes fresh which is impressive for such a cheap price point. I always get fish taco and veggie taco. The cactus is a unique flavor and texture that I haven't been able to find at another taco shop. They also offer student discounts and daily specials. The blended drinks are so refreshing on a hot day - definitely will be back once the heat hits. The food comes out insanely fast despite there always being a line. There is only outdoor seating which I don't mind since it's always summer haha. Such a great spot for quick food and fun atmosphere! read more

I was CRAVING some fish tacos, so thankfully Yelp helped me to find The Beach House! I'd driven by here several times and never knew why there was always a line! Put it together after the first bite! DELICIOUS! The staff was super nice and the food came out quickly! I will be back because I love fish and this is the closest thing to my favorite spot in California called Baja Cali! My little ordered shrimp quesadilla and she loved her food as well! I ordered grilled and fried fish tacos and I equally love them both! To the nice lady who conversed with me when I gave her a compliment about her white overalls, "Thank you for your hospitality and smile". read more

We came across The Beach House because we were in the mood for a cold drink after a hike. They have great frozen lemonade slushies with tons of flavor options to add in. My favorite combination was desert cactus + coconut. Unfortunately I had just eaten so I didn't get the chance to try the food, but it looked really good. There is only outdoor seating, but it is covered so you are protected from the sun. The service was also really quick. read more

"Home of the fish taco" they really do make the best shrimp and fish tacos. I think it's priced fairly, the restaurant has cute decor and colorful tables on both sides with cover. Staff is super friendly and patient. I forgot how big the burritos are, I also had a taco and chips, I had to take the remaining burrito to go! First time ordering the chips and guacamole today they tasted fresh, I would get these Everytime going forward. This place gets super busy so highly recommend ordering in advance if you can, but if not then the wait isn't very long. read more

The Beach House looks like it was stolen from the coast of LA or Baja Mexico and plunked down into the asphalt baking tray of Phoenix. It's a fun experience and the watermelon slushy was worth standing in the line that happens unless you get here early. Let me throw this out there: the fish tacos are weird. You'd think that Baja style tacos would be the obvious menu item. Nope. The thickly battered tubes of fish are very crispy crunchy. In a jam, you could use them as weapons. The tacos are topped with typical toppings but with a twist of feta cheese. Does it all work as tacos? Yeah, but again, it's delightfully weird. read more

They forgot the slush in my slushy no but fr this is actually pissing me off because why would he hand me this without saying anything. At least an apology perhaps? Let me know the machine was broken or something? Offer to put it on ice instead? Idk. Still 4 stars tho cuz I love this place read more

Talk about an amaZing check mark on my foodie adventure list!!! I have driven by the Beach House many times and thought I HAVE TO GO THERE, but never made it there!!!! BUUUUUUUUUT today was the day i FINALLY GOT TO TRY BEACH HOUSE!!! It went above and beyond all my expectations!!! This place has drool worthy tacos that was worth EVERY CALORIE!!!! I got three tacos for $7 and let me tell you it was delicious with a capital DELISH!!! I don't even like fish and fried fish taco was the star of my show!!! Coming in second was the carne asada taco and i was too full to try my chicken taco so i took it home for tomorrow! My niece who has allergies to protein got the cactus tacos and was blown away by the delicious , savory flavor of them!!! I washed everything down with a frozen peach watermelon frozen lemonade which is just one of their many flavors to choose from!!! The atmosphere was casual and fun with some major San Diego vibes! It is outdoors but despite the AZ weather, the misters and shades keep everything nice to eat at despite the weather. Shout out to John the owner for having such a great place to eat! Keep up the deliciousness in flavor, prices and service!!! http://www.classicmarymoments.com/2025/05/beach-house-taco-review.html?m=1 read more

"WHY HAVE I NOT BEEN HERE SOONER!" Absolutely delicious! Expect: -long lines (customer service was really good) -Decent prices (doesn't break the bank) -exploding flavors (my mouth was having a party! ) -off the wall salsa! Wow THE SALSAS WERE MY FAVORITE PART! (Can't get enough of their salsa) I would come just for their spicy chipotle sauce. I am coming back for sure!! read more
Awesome little place in Phoenix! Funky joint and eclectic for sure! Small menu but everything is bomb! The fried fish tacos, grilled fish and grilled shrimp tacos are absolutely fantastic! Plus the slushy options are amazing! Great prices and food! And you know it's good when the line is 50+ people deep on a 100 degree night! read more

The food here was great. Lots of vegetarian options, which I appreciate. I got the quesadilla with Cactus as the filling and a bean and cheese burrito- both satisfactory. The outside was really cute too- definitely giving beach food shack vibes. Don't expect anything fancy from here, but I'd call it a top notch lunch spot. The staff was friendly- if busy. I'll definitely be back. read more
Ordered online for pickup to take back and eat at our Vrbo house. A cool mashup of a restaurant. The core kitchen looked to be housed in maybe an old garage or just a plain small brick structure that didn't have windows; who knows. They've piecemealed the rest, giving a Cali beach hut meets food shack vibes kinda getup. There's picnic table seating, so "indoor" seating - basically covered shelter with makeshift walls. Who are we kidding folks, PHX doesn't really need contained restaurant seating, as it usually doesn't get "Midwest America cold." Love the bright, bold colors and signs and stickers paraphernalia. As always, the classic VW Bugs get me every time. We got a few different types of tacos to try. The mango shrimp tacos have heat; like, pretty heavy heat, so beware. Didn't see any mango chunks, assuming that that flavor profile comes via the lite pinkish colored sauce. The grilled fish tacos were delish. Not hot, basic flavor profile (in a great way) and tasty. This local eatery seemed to be pretty happening for a Monday evening. I'm sure it pulls in a great crowd for GCU and ASU students; their location is pretty smack in the middle of Phoenix too, so I'm sure they get the local suburbia traffic and white and blue collar working classes, too. Next time visiting my niece, I'm sure I'll hit up this taco shop again. There's other things on the menu that caught my eye, and the price:quality:quantity ratios are good. read more
Absolutely delicious! I've always passed by this place and seen a line and I get why. Their ingredients are super fresh and this is a great stop for a quick bite with great prices and is a cool place to sit and chill. The blended lemonades are a must for the warmer days and they come in so many flavors. The parking can get scarce but there are some spots near the other businesses. read more

I really liked the vibe here! There were stickers everywhere. It definitely gave California beach vibes. I got the jerk chicken burrito, my kids got the bean and cheese burrito with chicken. My husband got the chipotle shrimp burrito. Let me tell you! All of them were amazing!!! We only spent 40 dollars! That was the best move we made since we been on vacation! Everywhere else was expensive for a family of five to eat! The service was good as well. Our food came right out. The salsa's were delicious! Highly recommend! read more

We were able to walk here across the street from our Airbnb and it was worth it. We walked up and saw the line and knew it would be good. We tried the chicken quesadilla, fried fish taco, pork taco, red chile beef taco, cherry limeade and chips and guac. Everything was excellent except the fish taco. Highly recommend! read more

Not worth all the hype. I've driven pass this location multiple times and witness lengthy lines during lunch hour and thought I would give it a try. I ordered a burrito and a brownie. Service was quick, burrito was stuffed, but not evenly spread out, between mouthful of beans and a random piece of meat and then another mouthful of cheese, it could've been put together better. For $10 for an overpriced burrito. I was underwhelmed at the lack of flavor and overwhelmed with more beans than meat and cheese. Tortilla itself was undercooked with grill marks on two sides where it had been smashed. Save your money and go elsewhere is my best advice. It just was not worth all the hype. The brownie was premade and wrapped, it was good. Would I recommend this place to anyone? Only if you're starting to death and every place else that offers a better burrito is closed. And no, I will not be back. read more

Wow! What an amazing establishment! I just so happened along this place as I was driving by and there was such a long line that I had to pull over to see what all the fuss was about! I ordered 2 shrimp tacos and 1 fried fish taco, along with an orange vanilla slushie. The slushie was just ok, but the fried fish taco was really good, it was not salty at all and the fish was delicate and tender. The shrimp tacos had great flavor and the sauce had the perfect balance of sweet and savory. For the price of $7 for any 3 tacos, you really can't go wrong! read more

Is this any good for groups?
It's got a walk up 🌬️ e and a bunch of picnic tables. Depends on how many in your group I would suppose.
How long are wait times?
It only took about 6-7 minutes as food is made fresh there. If it's busy it would be longer.
Is the rice made with chicken stock or vegetable broth?
Is the cabbage slaw mayo or vinegar based?
How far in advance do you order online for lunch?
As far in advance as you want to. It does get busy between 11-1 but if you're 30 minutes away order when you're about 10 minutes out of that makes sense.
Is it byob?
I actually asked the owner! It used to byob but now they've been told they have to complete fence off their restaurant in order to keep it byob. Therefore, as for now, it's not byob any more. 😔
