I'm blown away! Not gonna lie, their surf and turf burritos is one of the best I've ever had. Large portions, affordable, and guy taking my order was so nice, he made my day. Truly amazing, will be back again very soon! Highly highly recommend read more

We had Taco Surf cater our granddaughters graduation party and they didn't disappoint! The food was fresh, plentiful, delivered with care and held up very well..everything was over the top! We will use them again! read more

Good, solid burritos. We got the breakfast burrito which had an amazing crisp to it and the surf and turf. Breakfast burrito - 8.5/10 Surf and turf burrito - 8/10 I thought it could've used a little more salt They generously give you bottles of red, green and habanero sauce on request to use as liberally as you'd like. Although I thought this was great, the sauces were pretty average and I think of it were a little spicier and flavorful it would've elevated the burritos and my experience for sure. Overall, would definitely come back again but wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

Beware! We got food poisoning here! Interior atmosphere is what drew us in, lots of surfboards on the ceiling and walls... very cool vibe BUT other than that I do NOT recommend. The service was short witted and unwelcoming- oh well, maybe she had a long day? The food was unfortunately lacked any flavor, I forced myself to finish my meal. Rice was bland, the carne asada tacos were alright but nothing to rave about, and the burrito was improperly wrapped and we ended up having to use a fork to eat it (not a big deal blah blah blah) -BUT!!! The sad part was both my partner and I got food poisoning from our meal. It was our last meal before we went home and now we're sick as dogs on an airplane. This sucks to write, I hate to be critical. But yeah, not exactly stoked about our experience here. read more

Taco Surf PB - Interior Seating area. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Diego, California

We ordered some crunchy tacos to go and it was the perfect meal for when you're at the beach. The restaurant wasn't busy when we went, but it looks like there's a lot of seatings. The service was fast and the food was stellar. The ambience is a chill typical Mexican restaurant. I would try other items next time read more

Taco Surf PB - Potato Crispy Taco Classic ... crisp... and delicious ! Everything is really good here! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Diego, California

Haven been here in a decade and o remembered it being so good... my daughter and I were disappointed. The carne asada was tough and flavorless, the quesadillas could have used some moisture. Rolled tacos looked good with a mountain of cheese but they were filled with ground beef, not shredded. It was odd. The guacamole was alright. Seasons would have helped all of it. The restaurant was clean and the service was nice. It did say award winning burrito for breakfast. Unfortunately I would not return. read more

The service here was great! The person at the register was very inviting and helped me choose between options. Of course, the interior is super cool, with a bunch of surfboards and stickers all around. Chicken Asado Torta ($15)- Huge portions, very flavorful and juicy. The meat was tender and juicy. I'd recommend putting the salsa verde for a kick. read more

Cute and inviting taco joint not far from the beach. Came in right when they opened for some breakfast burrito. They had a wall showcasing their past awards and I somewhat approve. The burrito was HUGE and full of ingredients but lacked in taste. Really liked the tatertots - a nice twist just wished the meat was tastier :( Place is cute and clean. Lady in the front was just ok. Not much love in the encounter. read more

Food was great. Cashier was not very friendly or inviting. She was attending to to-go orders for an extended time before focusing on the people in line. But the service overall quick. The burrito was great. The decor is cute with surf board decorations but I didn't eat in the restaurant. I got the Surf and Turf burrito. It was very large and had a great amount of shrimp and steak. Would absolutely order again.. read more

The wife and I came here a few years ago and always talked about coming back when ever we are in San Diego, being that we are from Santa Clarita. We made our way here on our last day before heading out ,food was good. But the service was disgusting I'm sorry but that short girl at the register is horrible. No excuse just horrendous service. Maybe you care or maybe you don't , but service is more than half the experience. read more

A must visit when you're in Pacific Beach. Great variety of California Mexican food options. The Shrimp tacos were excellent. Hot sauce had a good kick. Potato filling was only ok for the rolled tacos, probably skip it. Burritos were big and filling read more

Taco Surf PB - Inside - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Diego, California

I am so sad to write this. I have recommended this place to so many people and come multiple times a month, but will never eat here again after today. I placed 2 orders in one day for the primal bowl, something I have ordered countless times. I have a pretty bad bean allergy and this bowl does not contain beans. The first order I got had beans, so I called them and informed them of the error, let them know what had happened and the woman answering said that she noticed the error when it was being packed and that if I placed another order, it would be correct. So I did that. I got the order and it was the same issue. When I called to tell them of the problem, the woman then went back and forth saying that the primal bowl has beans, before ending saying it does not and it was an error. I most likely wont ever come here again or recommend it. We will see how long I can hold out, but I hope they pay better attention in the future. read more

Taco Surf PB - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Diego, California

Smallest burrito I've ever seen in my life. I had it picked up by somebody so I can't speak to The ambience or service but if they didn't have enough chicken to make a Pollo Asada burrito they should have said so and I would've ordered something else. I paid $14 for a tortilla. it was literally 85% tortilla and 15% chicken. If I had been there in person. I definitely would've asked for my money back. :( read more

A little disappointed that the burrito size here appears to have gotten much smaller. What was one a huge hunk of meat is now nearly the size of a Taco Bell burrito. New pic added for comparison. My hands are very tiny and so was this Cali burrito :( read more

Taco Surf in Pacific Beach is an easy five stars. The burritos are absolutely amazing -- packed, flavorful, and always satisfying. Every bite tastes fresh and well-seasoned, and they don't skimp on the good stuff. The rolled tacos are loaded with fresh flavors, and you can tell everything is made with care. And let's talk about the fries -- perfectly crisp with an awesome meat-to-fry ratio. No digging around for toppings here... every bite is balanced and loaded. If you're in PB and craving legit Mexican food, Taco Surf never disappoints. Consistent, flavorful, and a true local staple. read more

The portion sizes of the burritos here are huge! Me and my partner shared 2 fish tacos and the surf & turf burrito and were so full after! The fish tacos were good, nothing super special just your standard fish tacos. The surf & turf burrito was full of meat, the meat to rice ratio was so good I would say it was 85-90% meat and the rest was rice so definitely felt like we got our moneys worth (sorry for no photo of the inside of the burrito). I also got the horchata which was just your standard horchata nothing special. I will say that the salsas here do leave something to be desired, they tasted pretty watered down the green salsa tasted like water with a slightttt hint of pepper then the red one tasted less watered down and had a Smokey flavor but was definitely disappointed by the watered down tasting salsas. Service was good, the place was packed since it was the weekend but we got our food fast since you just order at the counter then they call your number out to go get your order when it's ready. The interior is pretty cool! I liked all the surfboards hanging from the ceiling and along the wall, definitely casual beach vibes that suit this PB location. Overall, I would come back for the surf & turf burrito since I was so impressed by the meat to rice ratio but don't think anything else I got is really a 'wow I want to have that again' I think if they improved their salsas I would be more inclined to come back! read more

We've been coming here for over 30 years. Every time we are in PB we have to stop by. Nicest man working today, always is so friendly and puts up with my hubby asking about the old owner Sam. If you're looking for a no frills fun atmosphere with good quick Mexican food, this is the spot! read more

The food was great, and we loved the casual ambiance. The staff were friendly and helpful, and we easily figured out what we wanted. The fish tacos were delicious and I still can't decide if I liked the grilled or fried more - my husband and I shared so we had one of each and both were very tasty. We will be back! read more

We got: Chicken fajita plate 2 Carne asada burritos one with enchilada sauce 2 Mahi mahi tacos with four tortilla Shrimp taco with flour tortilla We got rice and beans on side as well Food comes out on a paper plate and trays. The three big sauces they had are all so favorable and distinct. None were overly spicy. Each item was really good. I enjoyed my fish tacos the most. Def a must try place! read more

The food was great! A little pricey for the surf and turf burrito. Completely disgusted with myself because of how full I was. I completely recommend this spot. read more

This was one of the first things we ate when we landed in SD. Food: We ended up getting a fish taco and a surf and turf burrito. Eating fish tacos in SD just hits differently. i don't know if its the air/environment or freshness of the seafood, but biting into the fish taco was heavenly. the burrito was also delicious and packed a punch. It was a lot of food for two people. They also provide sauces, but be careful some of them are extremely spicy. Service: The person working in the front is extremely friendly. Interior: The inside seats about 20-25 people? But what's cool is that they dedicate the inside to the history of surfing. They have old surfboards on the ceiling and walls, and they also have old newspaper articles showing different people and spots of surfing. The best part about this spot, is that they have orange bang. honestly if a restaurant carries orange bang, that's automatically a win in my book. I wish orange bang was nationally, so i can enjoy it while in texas :( read more

Cool little spot in PB. Got the Surf and Turf Burrito. Full and flavor and deliciousness. 9.7/10 If the burrito was wrapped a little tighter would have been perfect. Will definitely come back read more

I've been coming here for a long time and used to love this place, but felt to share what happened to me today! I ordered a California burrito to go--paid extra for cheese and sour cream--and ended up with a $18 burrito that was basically just fries and carne asada. Not even tomato, lettuce, the basic stuff, and on top of that It used to come with way more. Honestly, it felt like I paid premium price for half the product. It's not the first not even second time this has happened, but it was the first time I decided to say something. I went in calmly, just to share my feedback. I wasn't rude, I wasn't asking for a refund--just being honest. And the woman behind the counter was incredibly rude from the start. No apology, no understanding. Instead, she snapped, "I'll give you another burrito if you give me the one you ate." When I explained that I had ordered as take out, already eaten it at the beach, she said something that honestly sounded like a suggestion to throw it up if I didn't like it. Yes--you read that right. It was sarcastic, condescending, and completely out of line. I wasn't asking for anything free. Just some basic respect as a loyal customer. A "sorry" would've been enough. Instead, I was met with attitude and humiliation. Sadly, I was unlucky enough to don't get what I ordered plus getting tons of disrespect read more

This place has been on my bookmarks for a while and I am glad I was able to visit. I enjoyed their traditional, beef crunchy tacos with loads of cheese on the top! The service was nice and quick. The place is very casual and was pretty busy. It seems like a burrito is the way to go around here. Everyone was scarfing down one haha. The soft tacos are okay, the tortillas kept breaking on us. So I highly recommend a fried taco or burrito when coming here! read more

By far one of the best breakfast burritos I have ever had!!! This was my first time trying this spot! It's located in the perfect area! I love the fact that you can build your own burrito! Their California burritos are also very good!! They're different but really good. The staff is so nice and accommodating. The location is so nice and clean as well! There's a lot of street parking nearby too and it's 2 blocks away from the beach! read more

Came here to try a breakfast burrito, no wait and cool decor, really has that surfer dude vibe. The lady behind the counter wasn't the friendliest though, not rude but just not very welcoming or nice. The burrito itself was great, warm and I liked how it included multiple types of meat so you don't have to choose only one. read more

ordered a lot and they helped me to pack it well and make it easy to carry. the food was plentiful but not the absolute best that I've had. I'd like carne asada to be more tender and likewise the beef in the rolled tacos to be more savory. but overall not a bad lunch for a lot of people. thankful for their accuracy read more

I ordered online and selected the pick up in store option. The food was ready when I showed up and the server at the Front was friendly and attentive. They have plenty of seating indoor and it's a very casual spot right by the beach :-) I ordered the grilled fish burrito but did feel that it was lacking in flavor. It was supposed to come with some chipotle sauce, but it didn't really shine through, so it was just missing that extra oomph. I will say it was pretty light for a burrito though. I would probably ordered something different next time but be willing to give this place another shot. read more

I went to check it out after seeing a couple of youtube videos. Yes the burrito was HUGE! But it was definitely a gringo burrito with no seasoning. Even the salsas had no real flavor. I brought 1/2 of it home for dinner. I put it in a microwave bowl with the red & green salsas they gave me, COVERED it with tajin and black pepper. Three minutes in the microwave and it was WONDERFUL. Plus for parking spaces behind the restaurant that seems to be a secret. I will probably go to Oscars next time I am in the PB area. read more

Taco Surf rolled into Pacific Beach in 1989. It sits right on Mission Blvd, just north of Garnet Avenue. Carne asada is just one of the best items at Taco Surf. They use top sirloin and cook each item to order. The meat never sits after it's cooked. Their tacos are the best in San Diego. Tortilla soup is one of the favorites also. The tomato broth has a great piquant flavor. You can choose fresh grilled chicken or shrimp. Their salsa: GREAT !!Breakfast, lunch, and dinner is served every day. Check the huge menu on their website for daily specials. Taco Surf is an incredibly excellent place to eat ... it is a locally owned business. The staff is over the top friendly.. try it & you'll be a regular. read more

Really great fresh Mexican food. My absolute favorite in San Diego, which is saying a lot. Their breakfast burrito with hash browns is an absolute must. Their salsa is made fresh everyday and really tastes like it. We walked in one day and asked what was in it and he showed up a blender full of tomatoes and peppers and herbs. It tastes so fresh! The owner is also an awesome dude that accommodates when ordering for large groups! I used to order burritos for a large team and he would go out of his way to accommodate us read more

I was super pumped to come here after watching the YT Gareth episode. Got the burrito and wow what an absolute let down. Quality of ingredients were mids at best and there was hardly any flavor. Tried adding the salsas but those were nothing special as well. Craftsmanship of the burrito also lacking, fell apart as I ate it. I appreciate it being huge, but honestly something smaller with better taste and that held together would be preferred. I got the sense they made Gareth's with more care since he was going to filming/advertising it for them. Which probs was true, but damn, ate a third of it, trashed it, then went home to eat something else. Weak burrito. read more
