We have never eaten at a Surcheros before, so trying to evaluate what to order was tough. First bite of crunchy taco with ground beef, I was shocked how delicious it was! The entire time I was eating it, I was trying to see if something specifically was standing out as to why it was so good, but I think it was just a great combination. The shell held up pretty well and didn't get soggy or crumbly. The ground beef was seasoned perfect; it wasn't spicy at all, but had plenty of flavor. The pico and the corn salsa were delicious and fresh. On the flour tortilla I got everything the same except I got the grilled chicken. The chicken also had a great flavor to it, but I probably wouldn't bother getting the flour tortilla again because the crunchy was so good. The only thing I was disappointed in the food at all was the fact that it was not Warm. The ground beef I think might've been slightly warm, but the chicken felt cold. My husband was disappointed because he asked for a soft corn shell for his second one and he got flour. Other than the fact of the taco shell mistake, the meats not being warm, all of the tables were messy, I thought it was a little crazy that they were packing up all of the drinks like tea at 7:15 and they don't close until 8 l:00. I guess that's OK if you only wanted a fountain drink and it was fine for us because we didn't order a drink, but I would be very unhappy if I wanted tea and they already cleaned it up. We will definitely be back! read more

From the get go I should have gone the other way. I walked in, asked the person working to walk me through the process, and the response was "what?"... the food I ordered was cold, salty, and inedible. The tables were dirty. For $30+ I got tacos and nachos... all of it went into the trash. As I was leaving there was a lady yelling at the person working because they were getting everything wrong. There was one other person there who was doing everything... running circles around the other person. This was a true disappointment. I will not be returning. read more

Service was Great but the food did not seem fresh. I thought the little market was pretty awesome and it definitely had some authenticity to it! read more

Literally got watered down, cool, queso. So gross. Not as fresh tasting as I remember other locations.

5/3/24. The last time we were here we were kind of disappointed; the service and food were just ok. My hubby wanted to try again and today was great. Food was fresh, service attentive and quantity was good. Glad we tried again...maybe new management? read more

Surchero's Fresh Mex is a solid option if you are looking for a fast food version of Mexican food at a decent enough price point. The staff was friendly and the location had an inviting enough vibe. I went with a bowl and was overall satisfied with my meal. read more

Surcheros- Fernandina - Mini pork quesadilla - Tacos Near Me - Fernandina Beach, Florida

Surcheros is our go-to place for tacos and burritos on the island. If you're familiar with Chipotle, the menu is quite similar. Everything is made fresh daily, and you can get a taco, bowl or burrito made to order. Other than the occasional line at peak lunch or dinner, service is quick and you can tell they take care to get it right. Seating is ample, and drink refills are free. A variety of salsas and hot sauces are available. Overall, it's a good place to eat or order from. read more

In terms of fast food Mexican, this is one of my favorites out of Moe's , Chipotle , etc. the ingredients feel super fresh and the portion sizes are huge! There are also a lot more ingredients options to choose from which is a plus. The meals also come with chips and salsa which Chipotle does not do! The one in Fernandina has events too in the evening which are fun! read more

Surcheros- Fernandina - Burrito Bowl with Steak, Chicken, Black Beans, Black Olives, Guacamole, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, rice and the surcheros sauce - Tacos Near Me - Fernandina Beach, Florida

Surcheros has become one of my favorite spots to quick fresh mex. On my last visit I was greeted by Nooretet, who was such a great help. She was very kind and answered all questions. They have several options that include bowls, burritos, nachos, and quesadillas. The chips are hot and fresh and there are plenty of toppings to choose from. I highly recommend Surcheros for a quick bite to eat. Give it a try. read more

Slowest service I've ever had. Workers are terrible. Everytime someone walked in they would roll their eyes.

You just can't go wrong! Convenient location that is clean and has easy parking. The food is top notch and delicious! Very friendly staff. I love that it is so customizable. Pro tip- put your vegetables on the grill! Delish!! read more

Surcheros- Fernandina - Tacos Near Me - Fernandina Beach, Florida

This restaurant is comparable to chipotle, Qdoba, Baja Fresh, places like that. I prefer this establishment because it's fast, has way more toppings to pick from, it's a little more affordable and you have plenty of healthy options. I usually order a salad and it's a great sized portion. I can never finish the whole thing! Perfect to bring to the beach for a impromptu lunch option. The different ranch options are also very delicious. read more

We loved all of the options to get on your burrito, bowl, or salad and they were all fresh. This is MUCH better than Chipotle. Very happy find and will be back quite a bit. Service was very good and the place was nice to eat in. read more

The food is always good. You can't go wrong with the usual Tex-Mex ingredients. It is very easy to get what you want, they truly make it your way. I usually get a quesadilla 'my way.' They can improve with the cleanliness behind the counter. The staff is very young, so they need help with improving their social skills. They should acknowledge people in front of them...not just when they are ready to fix your food. (I'm not suggesting they yell an insincere "Welcome to Surchero's!" when you walk in the door). Work on the cleanliness and social skills, the food is fine. read more

We really like Sucheros for the salads. Fresh (non brown) lettuce eludes so many restaurants in this area. Sucheros is always good. We have gotten salads here, which are huge) at least 40 times. Take em to the beach and have a lunch break. My only wish is they would use Romaine hearts (the lighter green. Crunchier) lettuce instead of the dark green outer leaves. They seem to only use that part. Makes me wonder where the other part goes? Love carnitas on mine. Wife gets beef. Chips & guac & I'm stuffed! read more

I went to Surcheros to take advantage of the $2 taco deal. Emily prepared our food, and it was delicious. Pro tip: ask for the burrito bowl in a to go box. The paper they put on their "plates" gets soggy and tears as you are eating when you don't have a shell holding your food. The cashier was new, but did well ringing me up. We had the $2 tacos, the burrito bowl, a large queso, 2 water cups, and I had a coupon, so there were a lot of tricky things. She asked Emily for help, and Emily helped in a respectful, non-demeaning way. The restaurant was clean, and the tv's were showing three different things. The chips were perfection as usual. We always enjoy our food, and we were not disappointed! read more

Our family had just got in town and needed some dinner so we found this in our search on Yelp. The food was good. The portions were a nice size and worked well with the pricing. The service was mostly good but could have just been a bad day for one of the girls. We took to-go and the meal traveled well. We would eat here again when back in town. read more

We ate here twice while on vacation. Service was awesome and the food was the same. Was not busy either time we were there. Thought they could have done a little better job on cleanliness of the seating area thus only 4 stars. read more

My favorite place to eat. The food is flavorful and the FRESH veggies are hand DICED and plentiful. Selections such as fresh spinach, romaine and iceberg lettuce, fresh and pickled jalapeños. Corn salsa, cucumbers, three types of onions and house made guacamole just to name a few. The portions are generous and worth the price. Simone and Kayla are always helpful and pleasant. Their attention to detail and pride in their work shows. I'm thankful to have them in the neighborhood. Keep up the great job you all are doing. read more

This was our first visit. When we arrived, the place was relatively empty. Four staff members were working and we were greeted warmly, so that was good. The first issue was on the line right in front of us. It was a complete mess. There was food all over the steam table. And remember, the restaurant was almost empty (it was 8:00pm on a Friday night) when we walked in so their dinner rush should have been long over. There just appeared to be no thought on the part of the employees or management to try to clean on their down time. Every work station was a mess. I ordered something with steak and there was an upcharge. No big deal because I had seen that noted. However, the price he quoted was $.20 more than what was posted. Come on. At least keep your menu current. Employee at the line started our burrito bowls wearing gloves, handling utensils while serving out of the steam table and then proceeded to handle raw food with the same gloves and no utensils at a chilled table. The counter at the checkout was so dirty our trays wouldn't slide across it. Gross. I was charged $.29 for a water cup. Cups had not been stocked at the register (even though the team leader and the employee had been standing there talking when we walked in) so the employee had to go to the back room to get a sleeve of cups before we could check out. My husband went to get our table while I filled drinks. He finally found one that was relatively clean after checking three other dirty tables. The guacamole had a funny taste. When someone came by to check on us (I was glad to see them do that) we told him about the guacamole and he didn't hesitate to bring us some fresh. Unfortunately that didn't taste any better. :( It was just really, really bad. I hate leaving reviews like this. The employees were nice and that's why I'm leaving 2 stars but we will never come back. read more

I came here to pick up two order and this place was out of chicken. I asked why and the young ladies said because nobody made chicken today?? Ok well then make some. Last time I left a review the asked me to contact them directly and I could contact them through the link provided. Not sure what's going on with this place?? read more

Amazing place. Great food. We eat here several times a month. When I first started going there, our order wasn't always correct. Some things would be different with each order. Had to complain one time and the owner took care of it and replaced our meal the next time. Great service, great people, great food and awesome curbside pickup option. I would recommend designating 1 or 2 spots in front of the store as curbside pickup spots so the employees can just look out and see someone waiting. read more

Out of chicken and unwilling to cook up some more. Queso wasn't ready either. Unapologetic workers. Go somewhere else before you come here

They are fairly new so we tried them out. I had a steak burrito and she had a burrito bowl. No skimping on portion size and was quite happy with taste as well. Will be back. Staff was super nice. Everything made fresh in the morning. read more

Good food. It's a higher quality chipolte

Monday afternoon, My husband, my children, and myself went into the restaurant. The staff was rude beyond belief. The young man working the register, Josiah, was heard making fun of my 4 year old disabled daughter because she cannot talk yet so she makes her own noises to communicate with her father, siblings, and myself. My children were hungry and didnt want to leave, so I ignored the rude young man and began our order as my husband seated our 3 children. I paid for my 2 entrees and 3 kids meals. I went over to the drink machine and noticed something weird with the ice I had put into my children's cups. Just the ice alone had a strong odor. I looked closer at the drink machine and noticed there was mold in the ice chamber as well as the entire drink machine. How could someone allow children to drink mold? I went to the counter to complain and ask for a refund and was told that there was nothing they could do. They completely dismissed the fact that there was mold. By the time I was done talking with the manager, Dustin, our food was ready. My husband and I ordered burritos. I decided to see what the food looked like compared to the drink machine. As soon as I opened the tinfoil the burritos fell apart and my children's little quesadillas were burnt. Again I went to the counter and asked to speak with the manager but he had left and no one would provide me with his contact information. Thats when Josiah, the young man working the register, said profanities in front of my small children, calling me horrible names and informed me that I would not be receiving a refund even if there was mold in the drink machine and our food was an absolute mess. The person you are and how you treat your paying customers reflects on the "business" you are running. With that said, I highly recommend no one eat at this establishment for fear of becoming severely sick due to mold. If there is mold in the drink machine, imagine what is behind the counter away from customer eyes. Just earlier today I was informed that children are supposed to eat free on mondays. However, I paid for my 3 children's meals and was told they will not refund me. read more

Super awesome Mexican place. Probably better than Chipotle. Fast service, great atmosphere, clean environment, and extremely tasty! Try it out! read more

The servers at this place are the prime example of what racists people are. I've been here twice and both times I've walked in when no one was in line to order and the two young girls that work there completely ignored me as if I wasn't waiting to order. So I went across the street to Jimmy Johns and had a much much better experience. These people suck. read more

Love their food. Great twist on a quick service Tex mex. staff is friendly, place is clean and tidy with excellent choice of food variety.

By far our favorite place for Mexican. We crave their burrito bowls all week and then make the drive (about 45 minutes) just for lunch. Everything is always fresh and the employees are always friendly and happy to help. So glad that they opened up locally. read more

Can't support a local business that allows sexual harassment and violates child labor laws. Unfortunately, the food is great, but knowing the employees that work there have to suffer is a deal breaker for me. What happened to taking care of your employees??? read more

I ordered from surcheros earlier this week via doordash. Excited to try new Mexican food in the area, I ordered beefy nachos, extra beef...with grilled veggies. I am sTiLL looking for the beef! There was none, though the amount of money I paid for the meatless nachos snaffu certainly reflected the cost of beef. So, I called. Manager jUst left, call back in an hour. Called back in 2 hrs. Sorry, it's the owner and he isn't coming in again. As I was told that only the owner has authority to fix this issue, I called the next day. Same thing. Moral of the story? Go to Moe's! Or Peppers. This was a total joke! read more
