    Flounder pounder, OG, surf and turf
    Alice C.

    Tacos were super goood! Fish tacos were by far the best. They have traditionally beer battered, carne asada (slightly sweet but really good flavor), surf and turf (shrimp and carne). Service was standard in wait time and seating. Pretty cool interior with ordering at the "bus", bar counter, and both indoor and outdoor seating.

    Can't visit Oceanside without a visit here. The food is always awesome ( this time shrimp tacos and fish tacos), the staff is always friendly and the decor is fun.

    The interior design is insane. Their artist really sets the atmosphere of the restaurant. There are details all around the shop that is fun to look for. The shop seems to be integrated well into the community of Oceanside. It's not your cheapest Mexican food option but they have great food options. I recommend there tri tip burrito and their fish/shrimp tacos. Their sauces were also great.

    Stopped by for the first time on Cinco de Mayo I've always wanted to try this spot. Overall, it was a half-and-half experience for me, but my wife absolutely loved it. When we walked in, my 7-year-old asked, "Why is it so dirty here?" I explained it was mostly the decorations. Very festive but a little chaotic. You can definitely feel the energy, and judging by the reviews, people love this place. For the first time ever, I actually liked the chicken more than the carne asada. The carne asada didn't really hit the mark for me almost like something was off, or maybe they mixed up my order. At $5 a taco, I expected a little more flavor. The chips were great, definitely a highlight with pork and beans. That said, the place didn't feel like a truly authentic taqueria to me. It has a certain style that seems geared more toward tourists and the general local population, if you know what I mean. Felt cooperate. My 11-year-old, who's pretty picky these days, had a breakfast burrito and funny enough, his burrito was actually better than my carne asada tacos. Drinks were on point enjoyed a strong, tasty $10 margarita. The bar and food areas are separated, which felt odd at first, but it works once you get used to it. Service - bartender was super nice everyone else was always a bit feeling the 5 O Clock rush at one point there is no register clerk because she was clearing tables. All in all, a good experience. Definitely a fun place to take friends for casual drinks and food, but probably not going to be my personal go-to taco spot. Still glad I finally gave it a shot!

    Right off the bat, immediately noticeable friendly service. First time visitor and the solo employee confirmed the surf and turf tacos were his favorite. Ordered two to go. Wasn't even waiting 5 minutes before they were ready! Walked to my spot on the beach about 0.5 miles away before trying. Tacos are slightly larger than street sized and just by picking them up, I noticed they do not skimp out on the meat portions. Sauces are slightly spicy but flavorful! Steak is smokier, kind of beef jerky like. But I enjoyed it! Looking forward to returning to try other recommendations from this place

    Solid taco! Had the surf and turf! Yum! Great friendly service and cute little bus where you place your order. Drinks available at the bar but we just had a Mexican coke! Outdoor Patio to enjoy your meal! With a visit!

    Food was good! Order from the indoor taco truck and then grab a seat, food will be delivered to your table. Super conveniently located in Oceanside CA / two block walk from our hotel. The tacos, burrito, and margarita was solid enjoyed our food! Everything that we ordered was great. Service could be better though. We were told we would get something delivered to our table and it never came so we had to go back up to the counter and ask for it. But overall good food so we would come back.

    Surf and Turf Tacos were delish, the OG had waaaaaaaay to much sauce and was almost not edible, the battered fish taco was great too. Would come back again when visiting Oceanside

    Belly up to the bus to place your order.

    All the tacos were delicious! The chips are thick to get lots of the yummy salsa scooped up. Fun atmosphere, all the colors and portraits on the ceiling are fun. Quick service. Servers very nice and helpful. Go! You won't be disappointed.

    Wet Tri Tip Burrito
    Rosendo G.

    Everyone kept saying this place has the best Mexican food in town, but it wasn't that good. And that's coming from a Mexican. $25 for a wet burrito and a coke is wild. The burrito itself was lacking seasoning on the meat so it tasted bland and the salsa roja was more on the sweeter side. Some spice would've helped out the sauce. Services was fine. There was some homeless people coming in and out of the place.
