My daughter, grandson and I spent the day in Ventura. We stopped here for lunch. The tacos were absolutely delicious. I got the shrimp taco plate that came with rice and beans. They do not skimp on the shrimp that kept falling out of the tortilla!!! My daughter get one fish and one shrimp taco while my grandson had the fried fish tacos I definitely want to go there next time I'm in Ventura read more

Another EPIC FAIL. Decided to give you a second chance after the first fail. Clearly a huge mistake. Perhaps you can explain to your server (boy) 7/29/26 its a really bad idea to continuously, aggressively argue with the customer after she has stated THREE TIMES that she asked for a shrimp taco NOT a fish taco. He thought I would back down to being BULLIED. NOT TODAY MIJO. $18 for one taco and a beer was enough but the argument with SO much attitude just beyond ridiculous. Yeah the taco was finally replaced, big deal the damage was done. Clearly, I was paying your rent for the location NOT the quality of the food. Another fail. I've eaten shrimp tacos all over the 805 and yours were a complete disappointment. First off there was ONLY shrimp and cabbage. I'm sorry what?!?! 90% cabbage. Thanks for nothing. Took one bite. Ok again nothing special then the tortilla disintegrated in my hand. Needless to say the rest was LAUGHABLE. Yelled at, and over charged for crap food. Seriously thanks for wasting my time (again) and now my money. I LEFT HUNGRY. Good thing I have a dozen MUCH BETTER PLACES TO GO. Christian no need to try and insult me. Shame you can't take criticism. How do you expect to do better if your ego won't listen to a real experience, of a real customer having a horrible experience. How pathetic that you would only chose to insult me. Reflect. Listen and learn my dear. And you don't tell me what to do. I WOULD NEVER WASTE MY MONEY ON YOU EVER AGAIN. read more

Always delicious and consistent! I love this place. Everyone who works there is always so friendly and smiling. It's very inviting. Today the beer battered fish tacos were extra crispy. They were amazing. And the house made sauces and pickled onions make even better. This is always my go to place when I go to the harbor now. I've tried most of the restaurants and they are just average. If you want delicious food I would always recommend this place! All the menu items are really good so I always have a hard time deciding. So lately what I do, is order the fish tacos and refreshing margarita or two while I'm there. Those are best eaten right away. And then I'll get a burrito to go and take it home for dinner or lunch the next day and it's still so good. read more

Huge shoutout to Baja Bay Surf N Tacos for turning a simple taco stop into a full-blown "guess we live here now" afternoon. We're currently on a six-week road trip, hiking our way through 13 national parks, and this was one of our designated rest days. Meaning: laundry, hydration, and pretending our legs still belong to us. Somewhere between washing socks and chasing quarters, we decided tacos were necessary. Because honestly, when are fish tacos not necessary? What started as a quick stop stretched into a couple of happy hours hanging out on the patio. We ordered fish tacos, originally hoping for red snapper, but they were out, so cod stepped in as the understudy and absolutely nailed the role. Flavorful, fresh, and paired dangerously well with a seriously solid margarita. Then came one of the best parts of the afternoon: chatting with the guy grilling tri-tip right there on the little patio. Funny, welcoming, and clearly gifted with fire and meat. The man was basically running a tiny taco theater production, and we became loyal audience members immediately. Naturally, we ordered more food. The shrimp ceviche was fresh and tasty, though I personally lean toward a more classic ceviche style. Then I surprised my husband with a tri-tip taco because, at this point, I practically knew the chef, obviously. And wow. That taco. Melt-in-your-mouth tender with perfectly balanced flavor. The homemade blue corn tortillas deserve their own applause too. Soft, fresh, and clearly made by people who understand tortillas are not just a delivery system, they are part of the experience. By the end, we were gloriously overfed and completely skipped dinner. No regrets. Laundry day has never tasted this good. read more

I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a while now. I visited on a Monday during the week, and it was surprisingly empty. We ordered our food and sat down. When our food arrived, the same person who took our order brought it to our table. The service was just okay. Honestly, the person taking our order seemed to be doing the bare minimum and didn't appear particularly happy about being there. I ordered two fish batter tacos, while my husband opted for a shrimp burrito. I found the shrimp tacos to be better than the burrito. They offered a variety of sauces, and I must say, they were a bit spicy. However, they were still enjoyable. I also had an agua fresca, but unfortunately, they only had one option: cucumber limonade. While the prices at this restaurant are not cheap, I would say that the fish tacos were very good and comparable to those you can find in Baja. read more

We stopped in the late afternoon for margaritas, chips and salsa. Margaritas were good but you got a small glass (8 oz) for $10 each. Chips were way too salty; salsa was spicy but good. Service was fairly fast. A few tables and not noisy. We were going to get dinner but decided not to after the salty chips and okay margaritas. read more

The grilled fish and shrimp tacos were very fresh made to order. Highly recommend stopping by and enjoying some tacos on the patio. Dog friendly so bring you 4 legged friends. read more

Grilled fish tacos chips and salsa. Sassy attitude from young waiter. Not that great...

When I ordered3 fish tacos, the cashier warned me how big they were. I ignored her advice, and then my jaw dropped when I saw the biggest fish tacos I have ever seen. They were basically each the size of a chicken thigh or filet of steak. Amazing food, listen to the cashier or you'll be sleeping off the fish tacos for a week. read more

They have great grilled shrimp tacos! Highly recommend. Flavorful. We each had a margarita - the strawberry was a bit too sweet and the lime Margaret had a limeade flare. We sat outside at a bar height table. Staff was very friendly. It's located right near the harbor so no views while eating but it's an easy stroll before or after. read more

Upon entering, a cashier greeted us. As we glossed over their limited menu, we asked if we could do some tacos as plates, which he stopped his personal phone usage to answer that we can do two taco plates. So we were excited to order, we started with a 2 taco fried and grilled fish taco plate, and added a grilled shrimp taco a la cart. He never stopped using his phone and delayed his response to each statement as such. (At this point in our multi-day trip, we've had A LOT of bad, awkward, and/or jarring customer service experiences.) Shouldn't be surprised that we experienced this, BUT given that we came to this area specifically for these fish tacos was a bit disappointing to experience this lackluster interaction. Nonetheless, we sat outside under an umbrella which has counter height tables and stool chairs. (There were regular table height and chairs as well). Word of warning, know the ground that you are sitting at. There are areas where divers can send you flying in a multitude of directions. Any older person who is not prepared can get seriously hurt. (OSHA, you out there?) The food came out within 5 minutes of us ordering (we were the only customers during the beginning of lunch), and the cashier provided 3 sauces to use. (Red, green, and what I would call as Mango Fuego!!!!!) The crispy fish taco was as perfect as ever. Flavor of the batter and cook was still the best I've ever had and was bigger than the purple tortilla housing it. The sauce that was drizzled over was phenomenal. The Spanish rice had this addictive quality making me think I'll just have a scoop of that in place of the beans (refrain from verbally assaulting me. I like their beans, I just don't LOVE beans in general.) The grilled fish had this blackened Cajun style quality to it, I was happy to have given it a try. Squeezing a lime wedge can help offset the saltiness with acidity! The grilled shrimp taco has more shrimp than you'll need for this one taco, but we will take it. Cooked perfectly, with a snap from the exterior but soft in the center, well seasoned throughout. And they also provide a light-complexion chili pepper. Anaheim or Hatch chili? Don't know but not spicy and deliciously seasoned and roasted. Regardless of the unusual first interactive experience, I am still interested in returning and introducing my kids to the best fried fish tacos I've had in all of California. read more

Wow! What can I say? I was pleasantly surprised by this cute, quaint and perfect hole in the wall restaurant! I came with friends and we tried their tacos, cheese quesadilla and my favorite their tri-tip torta which is absolutely delicious! Quick service, as you place your order in the front and they bring it to you. I highly recommend getting their chips and salsa and their regular salsas they give with all orders is absolutely delicious! read more

This place is amazing!!! Everything that I've tried has been full of flavor and cooked perfectly. I definitely recommend the Surf n Turf burrito. Their salsas, grilled peppers, and pickled red onions complement the already delicious flavors. The owners are the sweetest people and can catch them outside cooking up the meats on the Santa Maria style grill. Crossing my fingers that they will start bottling and selling their amazing salsas. read more

I was in the area on a trip and decided to stop by for lunch. I ordered the shrimp ceviche and my husband ordered the fish and chips. We sat outside and the weather was beautiful! The food came out quickly and was delicious. The shrimp were huge and the chips were so crunchy. Everything was so flavorful and the fish and chips were perfect. The fish was the crispiest I have ever had and the fries had an amazing seasoning on them. I wish I lived closer so I could come back every day! There is plenty of parking which is nice and other shops so when you are done you can walk around. read more

Kudos to Baja Bay Surf N Taco for making some killer tacos! These were my favorite battered tacos that I've ever had- the crisp and crunch of the shrimp and fish were perfect. The blue corn tortillas were on point, alongside the toppings. They certainly do not skimp on the meats and toppings. The cherry on top is there three options of salsas- red (medium chile de arbol), green (mild), and spicy (habanero). Clearly a small business, the owners were nice and gave their suggestions and came to check on us during our visit. This is located on the harbor near many shops / restaurants- but this is the one to checkout! There is both outdoor and inside seating, perfect to enjoy the cool beach weather. I only wish I lived closer to enjoy these tacos all the time! read more

This place is located in the Ventura Harbor Village, right next to the parking lot. I was craving fish tacos and after reading all the raving reviews, I knew I needed to hit this spot. Upon arrival, I noticed that the menu is very simple with just a few items on the board. I asked if they had a taco combo plate available and they surely did! Less than $20 got me two big beer-battered fish tacos with a side of rice, beans, chips and a chile. Definitely impressive portions for cost. Everything tasted freshly made but I felt like it was lacking flavor (bland), the salsa was delicious though so I added that to everything. For beverages they offer can/bottle options and have a fresh agua fresca choice available. Also, there is a small self-serve water station available by the condiments. The man at the counter (I take to be the owner) is extremely nice and professional. They have some indoor and outdoor seating available. The ambiance is very California coastal, love it! All in all, taking into consideration each aspect with location/taste/presentation/service.. I give 4 stars :) read more

Amazing customer service!! Was given fried shrimp instead of fish and they immediately apologized and fixed the issue. Side note: the tacos were incredible. Thank you for your time in an extremely busy lunch rush! read more

Wow! This is the spot for delicious tacos at great prices! Family owned place that has great food, service and music. Ordered a grilled fish and carne asada taco and it was fantastic. They give you homemade chips and a white pepper that starts out mild then get spicy when you get to the seeds. The salsas they have are flavorful too and the green sauce is the spicy one. The portions were more than enough and at $8 a taco, it was well worth it. You gotta stop here to eat if you are at the marina or beach. read more

Forget the fancy restaurants with their tiny portions and complicated menus--this casual taco joint at Ventura Harbor just knocked my socks off. I swear, these tacos had flavors so good, they should come with a warning: may cause uncontrollable drooling and taco addiction. I've eaten tacos all over, but these? Out of this world. If tacos were an Olympic sport, this place would take gold, no contest. Seriously, skip the fancy stuff and head here--you'll thank me (and your taste buds) later. read more

I been hearing about this place. I finally had a chance to come with the family and try it, and boy oh boy. We tried almost everything on the menu, the grilled tacos the battered tacos the grilled shrimp tacos and the Cod fish & chips. The presentation was great. The taste was even better not over cooked or to much spices, just right, my favorite was..... none, yet. We still have a few things to try on the menu before picking my favorite, but so far it was the grilled fish taco. Their home made salsas are Delicious, they have three level very hot , spicy and mild. If your in mood for some Delicious fish tacos you got to try BBSNT. They have a few drink options. I will be back to try the other food on the menu. The team is very friendly and attentive to customers, checking in and seeing how food is. I was very impress. read more

If you're anywhere near the harbor, do yourself a favor and stop by Baja Bay Surf N Taco. I've driven past this place for years and finally decided to check it out and I'm honestly blown away that I didn't stop sooner. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the energy. The owners are incredibly welcoming and genuine, which immediately sets the tone for the whole experience. The atmosphere is everything you'd want from a harbor-side taco spot , laid-back, vibrant, and just straight-up good vibes. Now let's talk about the food... absolutely top-tier. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The tacos are easily some of the best I've had perfectly balanced and packed with flavor. And the dragon fruit agua fresca? Next level. Super refreshing and a must-try. As someone who works in the taco industry, I don't say this lightly this place is the real deal. Hands down a five-star experience. I'll definitely be coming back regularly, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for amazing food and a great atmosphere. read more

I've been craving fish tacos, and since Sabor in Oxnard closed down a few weeks ago, I haven't found a good spot for them. That is until yesterday. Surf n Taco was recommended to me by a coworker, so I figured id try it out. Let me just say they rivaled Sabor,or dare I say we're better. The fish was flakey and the batter was super crunchy and well seasoned. The sauce was very good and reminded me of the fish tacos in Ensenada and Rosarito. And you definitely cannot go wrong with the blue or yellow corn tortillas. Chefs kiss! I also had the pleasure of meeting the owners, super nice people. They check all the requirements for legit fish tacos, seasoned and flakey fish, crunchy batter, corn tortillas, cabbage, and the sauce. I would recommend you let them cool down before digging in. I was so excited to try them I burned my tongue ‍‍‍, but thay was my fault. 10 of 10 would recommend! read more

We went to Moorpark to get some fruit at a Farmer's Market that was really good and on the way back were hungry, so in looking for a restaurant my wife remembered eating here a long time ago so we found it again. We sat outside so we could check out all the people wandering around and except for a very bright sun the weather was fine. We got different fish tacos and must say enjoyed them all, which was nice. The food came out quickly after ordering so that was really nice too. All in all well worth going and my wife would love and demand we come here again should we be up in the area. read more

Fish tacos are very good (my brother says the fish burrito is too). We did not wait long for our order. All good!

Nestled on the outskirts of Ventura's marina is this predominantly "local's only" gem that is not to be overlooked. The fish burrito is FAT and delicious - the best fish taco I've ever had! Grab a seat on their patio, under an umbrella, listen to the Reggae music, enjoy your burrito or fish tacos and you'll be transported to Hawaii or your own nirvana. Anyways, highly recommended if you're in Ventura. read more
