Cute place to go for a quick bite to eat!! Food taste really good & great atmosphere!! Try this place with the kids they will love it!!

First time visiting Surf Taco today and we were very impressed. Went with my wife and 2 daughters during lunch today. I ordered the 2 taco combo with the garlic shrimp taco and the steak taco. My wife ordered the same but with the mahi taco and garlic shrimp. My daughters each had a beef taco in a crunchy shell. Good amount of food for a very reasonable price and food tasted excellent. Salsa's were also great. We will definitely be returning. read more

Very pedestrian mexican food. But I go here all the time and enjoy it. You can't beat the #4 combo with burrito, taco, chips and drink for $10. Of all items the actual "Surf Taco" is tastiest. Lots of fresh salsas and one of those 100 in 1 flavor new-fangled soda machines. Staff is good and efficient. Holla! read more

A little pricey, but mmmmm fish tacos.

Big fan of Surf taco ! Excellent burritos and nachos here . Everything is fresh and very flavorful. Food usually comes five minutes after you order . Great staff here as well . read more

Being from California I've been craving a good fish Taco. I have been to Red Bank many times and saw surf Taco so thought I'd give it a try. Menu behind the register was small and hard to read. I got a take out menu. We decided on Chicken taquitos, a Mahi Mahi taco, and a shrimp taco. We asked for no cheese. The Young lady asked it it was a dairy allergy. We said yes and she made sure none of the sauces had dairy. Very kind and Attentive. Service with a smile and a pleasure to order from. We placed the order to go. The taquitos were big. Full of white meat and not over fried. They were good. Only issue is they were served in a paper "boat" and wrapped in tin foil. So by the time we got home they were messy to open with the lettuce and salsa all over. The shrimp taco was tasty, I'd prefer corn tortilla and a little more shrimp. but now I know and will order it that way next time. The Mahi Mahi was cooked perfectly! Tasty. A little to much cabbage and not a fan of the pineapple on the taco. That's a personal taste. Salsa bar was well kept and very good flavors. I asked for a side of fresh Jalepeno and they didn't have any. Not a deal breaker. Food and experience was overall good. And I will def be back! If you miss California tacos and want something fast this is worth a try! Staff is friendly. Bathrooms and restaurant was clean. read more

The tacos are really good. The meals are a bit pricey for what you get, but if you like tex-mex style tacos and burritos this place is worth a try. read more

Right in downtown Red Bank, this Surf Taco has a great vibe. Surf movies and art by local surf artist Jay Alders on the wall. Food is fresh and comes out fast! read more

Had not been there in a long while and went to dinner tonight. Food was ok but the table tops, salsa counter and trash areas were not clean and not being wiped down. Usually what happens up front is a reflection of what happens in the kitchen. The girls (food runners and counter help) don't mind putting out containers for tips, how about wiping down your tables and keeping the place clean. Double Yuck. read more

Its not fast food but its good quick Mexican food with a Jersey shore twist. It is a staple of the shore and always a great place to grab a bite. read more

Surf Taco opens at 11am, walked into an empty restaurant at 11:24am with one other person and was told by a counter worker that it was an hour wait because they had a catering job... You can't make 2 burritos for paying customers!? read more

Food is average yet overpriced. The service also wasn't very accommodating to special dietary needs. If you have any sort of gluten intolerance, I wouldn't recommend it. read more

Was very disappointed today, food was cold, place was understaffed and tables were dirty

I enjoyed the food. They had a huge variety of tacos, burritos and wraps. Their waffle fries were seasoned well and the salsa was free. The walls were painted in a very friendly way to get a better beach vibe as one of the walls had a wave painted on. The customer service was really friendly as well. I'll be returning. read more

I love this place for fast tacos. Everything is super fresh and tastes amazing. A bit pricey, but worth the quality.

Red Bank has become my favorite spot on the way home from the beach and Surf Taco is the biggest reason. Load up on records at Jack's Music Shoppe, Revisit your childhood with some comic books at Secret Stash and then go next door and fill that big ass hole in your stomach at Surf Taco. The Surf Burrito and Surf tacos. my favorites are the best I've had. Fresh, tasty and above all, messy. The vibe is laid back and the decor makes you want to stay longer while watching surfing, skating and extreme living on the flat screen. If I live in Red Bank, I'd be in there every day getting my taco fix. Highly recommend. HIGHLY!!! read more

Never go here. Food poisoning is guaranteed, and it is extremely painful. Horrible taste and horrible quality of food. If you're looking for cheap food, go anywhere else because this is cheap AND rotten food. read more

Not very amazing or particularly good - i prefer Chipotle's any day. I got the coconut shrimp taco per the cashier's recommendation and found the cabbage to overwhelm the star of the dish - coconut shrimp. I also got the Trits dessert - really amazing stuff! In one bite, you get savory ice cream, cookie and then also some succulent caramel syrup that worked wonderfully together. I'd probably only be returning for the trits treat in the future. read more

Had lunch two days in a row. Great selection and variety - and not just tacos and burritos. The wraps are good too. The chips are decent and the large bowls of salsa allow for a choice of mild to hot although the hot isn't terribly so. The food comes out remarkably quickly. And people line up out the door during lunch. As much as I love Chipotle's, they don't have near the variety of selections. As for the surfing videos- I could do without but they didn't get in the way either. read more

The food had no flavor and floors looked like they haven't been swept/mopped in weeks.

First time coming to this location. No one to take an order. We had to wait quite a few minutes for someone to come out from the back. The bathroom was disgusting, and so was the salsa bar, garbage on the counter and floor. And the salsa had no flavor, when usually they are pretty good and spicy. It seemed as though none of the workers cared at all. Make the trip to another location. read more

Great experience overall, food was out quickly and the perfect temp. Awesome atmosphere too!

I have been to other surf taco locations many times and always have a great experience. However this red bank location I didn't have the best experience. The bathrooms are beyond disgusting! On top of that, the staff was not very friendly. I stood at the counter for 5+ minutes with a toddler waiting to order and no one came out until the phone rang and the girl picked up the phone and took a long order without acknowledging me. Then another girl came out and just stared at me and I asked if I could place an order and she just shook her head, seemed very unhappy. The food also didn't seemed as good this time. Anyway I was disappointed because I had people with me who was experiencing their first surf taco trip and it was a very unpleasant experience! read more

Baja style fish burrito was DELISH. And I don't even like fish in my mexican food. Their avocado/lime sauce definitely brought out the flava. For the price, it is hard to beat. Their salsas were also pretty good; my faves were the smokey spicy one, and the baja red. Nom nom. read more

My wife and I were walking around Red Bank for the night and decided to stop in. I can't complain about the food. It is usually very good and no complaints this time. I had the surf taco Baja style and my wife had the combo (1 steak, 1 shrimp taco). We also ordered the cheese waffle fries. I assume they are just frozen fries but they always taste good. It's a french frie, wants not to like? I do enjoy the Belmar/Pt Pleasant locations better. The RB location is larger but the atmosphere is different. Since it is in the town of RB you don't get the feel of a Surf Taco. It is nice to come off the beach and head over to eat. It has a more down the shore vibe. The one issue we had was that the fountain machine was broken and they had no bottled sodas. If you found a soda it was entirely frozen. 1- I like to be cheap and buy 1 soda for two people and just do the refill each time. 2- No FREE REFILL! 3- I do not normally buy bottled drinks but I assume they cost more than the fountain soda? Either way, I do not blame the workers. I am sure most people order fountain drinks now so I doubt they were prepared and ready to have extra bottled drinks available. read more

I've eaten here a few times and would say this place is acceptable but not great. I usually get the tortilla soup or quesadilla and find them a bit pricy for simple, average Mexican food, but then you are paying for the location. Sit outside or near the window, so you can watch all the activity on Broad St. We do enjoy the "mix your own" soda fountain- very cool. If you are looking specifically to eat Mexican food, then walk down near the train station to some of the better, more authentic places, but if you're looking for cheap-ish, al fresco, and in the main part of town, then Surf Taco is OK. read more

Fabulous place in red bank for mexican food. Beautiful ambience, great set of sauces to accompany your food and variety of soda options. We went for a taco combo of two kinds of fishes, and the price seemed reasonable. It's a self-serve joint, and the guys behind the counter are friendly and helpful. read more

I've been to the location in Belmar but this was my first time trying out Red Bank. It was surprisingly packed for a Friday afternoon but the line moved pretty fast and our food came out really quickly. The surf taco is the one you absolutely need to try. A lot of good flavor but the only negative is that they add a lot of vegetables in the taco so it can overpower the fish. I also had a shrimp taco as well and the flavor was good when I could taste the shrimp but mainly tasted the vegetables. Free chips and 4 choices of salsa as well. read more

I came all the way from Staten Island for the fish and shrimp tacos! Everything is so delicious! The salsa bar is the best!!!! You seat your self after you order, surprisingly the place is always clean normally self seated places tend to be messy! Love the atmosphere , you feel like you in Hawaii! read more

If you are looking for a quick bite I would definitely recommend surf taco. The food is very satisfying and delicious. It is no gourmet restaurant but will satisfy your hunger. read more

I have eaten at surf taco many times in the past. The Long Brach location has gotten progressively dirtier so I decided to try the Red Bank location. Mistake. The bathroom was disgusting and the dinning area was gross. Every single table and every inch of the floor was covered in filth, including toilet paper on the floor out by the tables. I will never return. read more

Pros: Garlic Shrimp Taco is very good Salsa Bar Cons: Front counter staff is rude and obnoxious Soda Machine Seating read more

First time at Surf Taco today... Had a craving for blackened Mahi tacos. Always get them when I am at Sharkeez in Hermosa Beach or James Beach in Venice Beach in CA. All I have to say. Fantastic, Tasty, Authentic, and I will be back. It's hard to beat those Southern CA Taco places, but Surf Taco showed them up today... I'm a fan! read more

This is one of my favorite lunch places right now - they always have something new to offer. The staff is usually very nice - sometimes they can be a bit curt but it is a busy place. The line is long but moves fast and the food usually comes quickly. One of my favorite items is the simple Taco Salad. read more

I was back in NJ for a family event and boy let me tell you this place is amazing. It gets Tacos right the fish tacos are amazing and it has a geat atomosphere. read more

This place was great! Love the decor and original art on the walls. The staff was very friendly. Plus, everything we ate was great. Keep it up guys! read more

First time at the Red Bank location. Came here for lunch and it was pretty busy, but the line still moved fast and we got our food pretty quickly. I got the Surf Taco, Grilled Shrimp Taco, and Steak Taco. Surf taco was definitely the best in my opinion. The grilled shrimp taco was good too and had a lot of flavor, but the amount of lettuce and vegetables they put in the taco masks the taste a little. The steak taco wasn't anything special but wasn't bad either. Free chips and salsa is always a plus read more

Food is consistently good. The men's room is nothing short of disgusting. Wonder what the kitchen looks like.

The food is delicious - love the Baja Bowl, teriyaki chicken taco and in the winter, the chicken tortilla soup! the wraps are great too - and you have choices on the types tortilla too. Food is served fast and my kids love going (huge plus!) read more

Eh. Nothing special. I got a beef taco. All orders come with tortilla chips and salsa. I guess it's okay if you're in need of a little snack. Not bad, not great. They do have a huge variety of tacos to choose from though. Even the fountain sodas have a ton of options. read more
