We ate at Taco Surf this last year, and the food is great. Feels like you are eating at the taco place near the beach. Great service, great food! read more

Amenities says there is outdoor seating but there is none. We walked from the hospital, so this was a disappointment read more

Place is awful!! Had the fish taco, horrible!!! Taste like eating bad over battered fish, the shredded beef taco smelled and tasted like dog food, chicken bowl, the chicken was OK... Mostly all rice.. Chips and salsa was ok.. Overall 1 star.. I will not be coming back. I want to vomit, this place was a waist of my time and taste buds. read more

Great place to have good Mexican food. They also have the best chicken wings ever so delicious. Jesse is our favorite server he is wonderful great service great attitude if you haven't tried this restaurant give it a try. You won't be disappointed read more

The Staff was good, but the food was plain and tasteless. The chips tasted stale. I won't be going back. read more

I feel this place is going down hill. We have been here several times but it has been a couple of years. I ordered chicken tacos and the chicken had no spice to it. My husband has ground beef hard shell tacos and the beef was over seasoned and very salty. Over all food was edible but just not as good as it has been in the past. The margarita I ordered came in the same glass as my husbands beer came in and hd too much margarita mix it was not good at all sorry to say. Too bad that it has gone down hill. I used to love going here. read more

We just left taco surf with a large party requiring multiple separate checks. Our server Alex kept all of our orders organized and when food came out it was seamless. Everyone had their meals, they arrived at the same time and everyone's order was correct. We were very impressed with her professionalism and friendliness. Thank you Alex! The food was good and the service was GREAT! read more

Great tasting food, catering was so professional, I was not sure abt their fish tacos but they were delicious will definitely use again.

A customer recommended this place. I wasn't really impressed with the food. Presentation wise everything like really good. Taste was o ok. The carne asada was very tender. That was about the only thing I liked. The fish tacos was more like a cabbage and tortilla taco. The Carne asada burrito was charged separately. separately. I found that to be weird. Wasn't worth it. read more

Taco Surf - Mexican Near Me - Los Alamitos, California

Hello, long time patron watching it become super bland. Just downed a hydration pack to ward off suspicious stomach pain aka food sickness. So, so Sad. Maybe it's just me, however, I was raised on Mexican food and again I'm a long time customer, today's lunch was another disappointment. Notice, I didn't say disaster. I'm sad about the Horchata, soup of the day Chicken Posole Verde, nope. Baja taco, single tortilla and "this doesn't look or taste grilled", boo. Always eager to end a restaurant review on a bright note, The Chips were thin and delicious! Thank you Taco Surf for a clean and uneventful lunch experience; I'll be looking for a new Surf point. read more

Absolutely delicious food! We had planned a Beach party for my granddaughter' birthday and had to cancel due to pending hurricane. We went to see if we could move the party to Taco Surf the day before her birthday party. The management and staff were so kind and helpful and accommodating. They figured things out for us and we had a terrific party. All the staff, were wonderful! We give this restaurant a huge thank you for what they did for us. We will be forever grateful! read more

The food is OK. The burrito I has was nothing to write home about. The chips came out nice and hot.

Wow. I've never had less flavorful food, it was shocking! My first bite of chips and salsa was the first time in my life if not wanting more. They have a very friendly staff with great service, but the worst salsa I've ever had. Bummer read more

So bummed on this visit. Taco Surf has always been a favorite, great tacos and the coldest beer around. Today was served fish tacos that were just not right. The Baja sauce was spoiled; a very dangerous situation. I informed the waitress, she did take them off the bill- but that wasn't the point. I asked her; please don't serve that sauce to a customer. She said ok; went and took a sample, and asked someone at the bar to taste it! WHAT? GMP's were not in good practice. Stay clear today! Love this place-- so bummed to have to give it this review! read more

Great food, nice, casual, fun atmosphere. Wonderful staff, everyone smiling and kidding around. Had a wine margarita for lunch, it was just right. They even have nice tee shirts for sale! read more

Great customer service food was delicious will be coming back soon there very friendly staff the restaurant was super clean

Taco surf has the best bean and cheese burrito's EVER I came here for the first time 3 weeks ago and have been back 3x since then. The service is fast and the employees are very friendly!! My friends and I love coming here to unwind & catch up after school!! read more

Not horrible but not great, either. With so many choices of Mexican food in the area, I will not be coming back here again. I ordered the tostada lunch special for $9.25. It was one flat tostada with shredded beef. The tostada shell was stale. You don't get your money's worth here. My husband said his grilled fish tacos were decent but nothing special. His fish tacos $13.95 for two tacos with one corn shell for each taco. They really needed two shells for each taco because the taco shells kept splitting. Oh well...learned our lesson. read more

I would definitely Come back. Monique our server did a great job ! Tacos were good as well .

We go there quite often and always find the food and service quite good. The staff is very friendly and you never run low on chips and salsa. Beware of the burritos...they are LARGE! We plan to take half home. We go to Los Alamitos and Sunset Beach locations...both are super! read more

Carol was our server today ! Great service great food ! We will be back ! It was really good !

1st time here and was very pleased. Carol our server was very nice and gave us great service. Food, Scorpion Soup and dessert was delicious. Very good portion on the food. Will definitely be coming back. read more

My family's favorite Mexican food in the area - All 3 locations are great! Highly recommend the ground beef tacos and theirs is the best salsa! Bean and cheese burritos are a hit with the kids. Takeout during covid was easy - order on phone, park outside and meet the masked employee to pay and pick up your order. read more

Stopped in for dinner last night and ordered the pipeline burrito. I got seated quickly and Lauren W. was the waitress given to our table. She was very kind, friendly and gave wonderful recommendations regarding the menu. I made adjustments to my order and she was extremely receptive an attentive to detail. Great place to stop in for a quick mexican meal. Good food and excellent service from Lauren W.!! read more

Great food and customer service. Alejandra was fantastic from taking my order over the phone to bringing my food safely to take home.

I had an amazing meal and the hosts Anna made my day I was have a terrible day and she turned it around. I would totally recommend this place nice people great food! read more

Ordered take out and the family was looking forward to good dinner. Was VERY disappointed in the shrimp tacos. To start the avocado on the tacos was black, like it had been left out for a while. After scraping it off I took one bite and it was just off. Not sure if the shrimp was bad or the sauce had turned. But never the less I could not eat them for fear of food poisoning not to mention the bad taste and after taste. I ordered late around 8 so maybe the food was just not fresh as it was close to closing time. Just disappointed since we usually have very positive experiences here. The one star is the food being ready quickly. read more

Decent Mexican food chain with great service along with generous portions. Established the year of my birth, it's my dad's goto place. So, decided to take my family here again. Stand-alone restaurant in it's own lot with enough parking. The chips and salsa are delicious. Something about their fresh salsa... it's ADDICTING... and unlimited! Pork Chili Verde Burrito - Delicious! Already comes with the heat, no need for extra sauce. This burrito is stuffed with chunks of pork, along with homemade rice and refried beans, topped with cheese, FRESH salsa and avacado slices. Sour cream on side. It's good! the portion is huge... eating it for leftovers.... even better! Carne Asada Entree - It's a HUGE flank steak, along with FRESH pico, lettuce and guac. Having this for left over mixed with the burrito left over... heaven! Shrimp Tostada with guacamole - Large flour tortilla shell, shrimp, delicious refried beans with jack and cheddar cheese, sour cream FRESH pico, and salad. Yea... you know... mix with left over with the rest...best left over! The horchata was delicious too. Basically the food was solid and since the portions were so generous, was left with really great left over food. Nothing really out of the ordinary, the food is just right though. Will be back. Of course read more

Just got back from here with some fellow yelpers and like Beth R said....WTF??? WTF...margaritas made with wine?!!? WTF...no tequila?!!? (we wanted shots) WTF...all those beers + food=58 bux..oh wait...thats a good thing! hahaha....I was torn when Beth and I walked in. First, we were the only girls in the whole place, so I sat at the first booth I saw open lol, second...a whooole bunch of biker dudes...again WTF! Nevertheless, we sat down and ordered myself a beer and a fish taco..(my meal right there was $3 bux!) Finally Nicholas M came, then Paul E., although it was just us 4, we had a good time, stories, laughs...ect. Paul then ordered nachos...mmmmm...so booomb! I kept eating them dispite my diet! I mean, I literally kept eating!!! Several beers later, nachos, tacos, wine made margaritas....$58 bux! again, WTF!!! Service was pretty good, I only had to look for our server once, and that was right before happy hour was over so we could order one more round....place was chill, a little down point that they didn't serve hard liquor...crowd is biker type...maybe it's different other days...regardless...as usual...I had a good time with my yelpers. Much appreciation to Mr. E for what he did tonight...I owe you a shot next time for suuuure! read more

Great place to go and hang out and have a nice meal. Great draft beer selection. Salsa is outstanding. I had a nice big burrito that was an awesome Saturday afternoon meal. Can use a little but of updating with TV's but definitely a great place for some good mexican food. read more

Courtesy killed my appetite joy -_-. So for lunch I drove to TS for the Taco Tuesdays, because out of all other Taco Tues restaurants, it's the nearest to my place, & I learned that they start from 6-9pm. Quite embarrassed, & b/c the server curiously asked me, "Why, did you want to eat for Taco Tuesday?" I guiltily decided to sit down anyway, & I ordered the $3.50 Ensenada Shrimp Taco & the $2.75 Veggie Taco. Before my main course was ready, I kept munching & munching on those freshly hot & gweasy (yea, that was intentional btw) tortilla chips dipped in watery yet subtly spicy salsa...I was starving, and, uhh, tortilla chips & salsa are my kind of "bread & butter." Minutes later, my tacos arrived. And to me they looked more like small burritos that failed to surround the fillings b/c these guys were MASSIVE. But what sucked about these tacos was that they followed the "more is less" adage. Just b/c each of these tacos were piled high w/ the fajita-style vegetables, cheese, and goobs of guacamole doesn't always mean they'll be flavorsome. Sure they're decent, but I had a hard time figuring out which ingredients (inc the shrimp!) stood out. So in other words, these overwhelming, oily, & literally messy ingredients had my taste buds gone haywire b/c of the lack of flavor quality =(. Not only that, I definitely ate better & extremely tasty tacos: the veggie one in LA and the shrimp one all the way in South SD. Regrettably I should have replaced the veggie taco w/ the fish taco, my other option... In the end, TS gets 2 stars for overall experience, but I decided to post one more star for great atmosphere for a group hangout (such as watching MNF or just being chitty chatty), & for their inexpensive pricing on these: Lunch Specials; the Taco Tuesdays, again from 6-9pm; & Happy Hours, which occurs on Mon-Thurs 3-6pm, & Fri 2-6pm. SIgh, this is what happens when I'm too nice ;). read more

Taco Surf - Left to Right: Veggie Taco & Ensenada Shrimp Taco - Mexican Near Me - Los Alamitos, California

Taco Surf is yummy! I love the salsa, just the right amount of spicy-ness without blowing your head off. I usually get an enchilada and a taco, sometimes shredded beef and sometimes the fish taco. I did try something new last night though, the tortilla soup! YUM! This soup is soooo spicy! It is not the brothy- kind of tortilla soup though, more like enchilada soup...what ever they call it, bring me some more! I also had the carne asada plate which was tasty as well. I was tempted with the strawberry cheesecake flan, but chose to try it another day. On another note, Taco Surf is 10 minutes away from the Los Alamitos Track, which is kinda convenient. When my friends and I go to bet on the ponies, we usually end up at Taco Surf for a beer and a good meal. read more

After a long day at work, I had the pleasure of meeting up with newfound yelper friends Nicholas, Beth and Cassina at Taco Surf for happy hour. Having never been there, I used the trusty GPS to guide me to another fun-filled evening of yelperness. I arrived a little later than the rest of the group, but it's all good, there was plenty of booze to go around.:) I decided to take it easy that night, only having a Corona or two to wash down the food we ordered. While the complimentary chips and salsa were good, I decided to order a fish taco ( http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/d-FEiiJWVHYtFQKwuOx1VA?select=QBeSzNYUhxsry4XzuQ-Uww ) and their super nachos ( http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/d-FEiiJWVHYtFQKwuOx1VA?select=QBl4CcXIPjSB2XNkjULxFA ). The fish taco wasn't bad; my only knock is that it could've used a bigger and/or more pieces of breaded fish, but seeing these are cheap happy hour eats, I can't complain. The only other thing that had us going "WTF?" was the lack of tequila for shots. No tequila at a Mexican restaurant? That's like McDonald's not selling burgers. The nachos arrived a little later. It turned out to be a tasty mountain of chips, melted cheese (shredded cheddar and jack, not day-glo orange sauce), shredded chicken, beans, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream. And a lot of it - it was all melting into one congealed mass of Tex-Mex goodness. Nice and sloppy, as they should be. The food wasn't bad, and the bill was very reasonable; I'm still trying to figure out who ordered the bj's though! All of us had a great time talking and laughing over drinks and happy hour grub. Good food and good yelper friends, what more could a guy ask for? read more

Bear in mind that I've been eating at all of the locations for 20+ years. Los Alamitos was a complete FAIL tonigh. Had the #3 (two tacos, fried fish) ( have had maybe a hundred time) - worthless. Between TWO tacos enough fish for half of ONE. Refried beans tasted like canned, thinned down like out of a blender. Half a head of cabbage on the plate. Rice took a whole bowl of salsa to have ANY taste read more

First time eating here , the server was amazing. We were sat quickly and the service was super awesome and attentive. This is by far one of the best food spots. I love finding these gems! Thanks again for the awesome service taco surf!!! read more

I'm so sad to say that I didn't like this place at all.... The restaurant itself is pretty cool. Total mexican cantina which I love. The service was good and my water was always full... The food was terrible. I got "A" which is the Baja taco and rice and beans. The fish was dry and the soft corn tortilla was already broken. My food was cold. I will give two stars for portion sizes and for good service. Unfortunately the food didn't cut it for me. I won't be back. Not even for a Margarita :'( read more
