    Corn dish
    Marc S.

    Took the whole family out for dinner at Taco Surf and had an awesome experience. The tacos, burritos and the chile rellano were amazing, and the corn dish was absolutely fantastic. Everything came out quickly, the service was fast, and the food was top-notch. Highly recommend if you're looking for great food and a fun, casual spot!

    Favorite lunch spot when I'm in the area. Great lunch specials and outdoor seating. Go for a walk on the pier after munching on some tacos.

    Classic dry bean and cheese burrito
    Stesha C.

    Just like I remember! Used to come here every year for my birthday and remember how proud I was to finish the bean and cheese burrito in one sitting for the first time, ha! Still order the same thing, still as good as ever. Chips are fresh and salsa is perfect. Friendly staff and we were there until 5 mins before close. Love the beachy vibe and can't wait to come back

    We were spending the afternoon at Seal Beach and came here after we realized our first choice was cash only. This is a cute little place right on main Street and seal Beach straight back from the pier. There's a bar and color lights and the Mexican paper garland. It's really pretty cute. The bathrooms are tiny but very clean. We got the last table inside, and our server was right there to help us. She brought us our drinks and some chips and salsa. They were nothing special. The chips needed salt and the salsa was okay, but not a whole lot of flavor and definitely not a whole lot of spice. We weren't very hungry so we ended up with smaller lunches. My son got a shrimp taco and an El pastor taco, and I got three chicken taquitos. All were good. The chicken taquitos had lots of fresh and juicy chicken. Our lunch was fine. We wanted Mexican and it hit the spot. I'm not sure I would raise back here, but I would stop here if I were in the area and wanted Mexican food.

    Baja Fish Taco & Hang Ten Cocktail

    Food 4/5 The food was quite good! I especially enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa. I ordered the fish taco, which was well-prepared and full of flavor. I also appreciated that it came with guacamole; it was a nice touch. Overall, I was very satisfied with my meal. Customer Service 5/5 Excellent customer service! The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the experience enjoyable. Ambience 4/5 The restaurant's location was great!! I loved that it was within walking distance of the beach and pier. While the inside was a bit dark, the overall atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming. Cleanliness 4/5 The place was well-maintained, nothing to complain about. Wait Time 5/5 There was no wait for seating, and the food was served fairly quickly. Cost 5/5 I was very pleased with the cost of the food. Considering the restaurant's location, the prices were quite reasonable. I received a generous portion along with a drink, and the total bill was surprisingly affordable. They also offer a happy hour, which is a great bonus.

    Had the best experience at Taco Surf, Seal Beach. Ciara and Sabrina were the best waitresses. I highly recommend the Ensenada Shrimp Tacos, they were out of this world! Beachy vibes. Will definitely be coming back soon.

    Carne Asado Tacos
    Tony V.

    There were 6 of us for a family get-together visit in Long Beach. We decided to go out for dinner, and our niece recommended Taco Surf (their Seal Beach location) - and we're glad she did! Everything we ordered was delicious! I ordered the Carnitas de Puerco, my wife ordered Carne Asada Tacos, and the rest of us ordered a Bean and Rice Burrito and several assorted tacos: Ground Beef, Pork and Chicken, Shredded Beef, and Baja Fish. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed all the food, even commenting on how tasty and "authentic" the refried beans were. It's a small restaurant, and staff were very friendly and efficient; great service. Prices were very reasonable. Very highly recommended.

    Chips salsa, Dos Equis!!
    Jeffrey M.

    Service was great, Frank handled our large order at the bar no problem. Sabrina was very nice and helpful. Highly recommend. Salute.!!

    Food was amazing. It made my regular Sunday feel special. Sabrina and Frank at the bar were over the top.
    Marigold F.

    Frank and Sabrina were our servers at the bar, everything on point as fuck!! . Drinks flowing .and we loved the experience

    Warm chips and great salsa before ordering.
    Patricia C.

    Five stars all the way. This is my favorite Mexican restaurant and I've been their customer for years. The food is so good and the refried beans are always nice and hot. Today I had a great server named Sabrina. She was courteous, and checked up one me making sure I had everything I needed. I was alone and usually loners get ignored but not here. The ambiance is nice and casual, and walking distance to the pier and beach. I ordered the grilled chicken tacos with refried beans, plus chips. I'm so happy they're here in Seal Beach and within walking distance from my house. Thank you again Sabrina!

    UMM this place is extremely good, like what?? Greek food in Long Beach, and right by the beach…read moreyummm. I went here at like 7:30 pm with my college club and tbh it is a really small restaurant. They do got nice, well-lit outside sitting, but just so y'know, it'll be a lil cramped inside. Service was quick! They don't take names though, so be on the lookout for your order and don't lose your receipt. I got the chicken breast pita and all their pitas come with a nice, generous side of tzatziki sauce, which is a great move. The chicken was absolutely delicious, well charred, and super flavorful. The smokiness of the char pairs delightfully with the fresh crunch of the veggies. I also really liked the pita bread, and the whole thing was perfectly filling for a dinner. In total- $10 which is JUSTIFIED. My friends also got the gyro pita, gyro fries, and the kabob platter with steak and shrimp. All for justified prices, I think, and all super delicious.

    What has happened to Athens west- sb?…read more There are so many choices of great places to eat and this has always been one of our weekly spots. Will have to think twice next time before going back. We were eating there Saturday night at around 7:30pm and all of the sudden the chefs cranked up the music in the grill area so loud we could not have a conversation sitting in the restaurant. The other problem was that there was already music playing so you had two very different music selections playing loudly. We thought they must have been closing soon and wanted everyone out but they said they close at 9pm. It was a great way to empty the restaurant and we all left. I think the staff thought it was funny but somehow I don't think the owners would have found it funny. Like I said, there are too many great choices of places to eat in sb. Will take a break from Athens west for a while.

They have a walk up table and someone standing there to take the order..he was friendly -took our order and in told him we were going to the restroom and we would be right back. We came back and jahie was ready with our or order. Yay! It was a hot and sunny day and we wanted a shade table. (They only had two options. We asked if she could wipe down one of the dirty tables and she suggested another table but was next to a large party of teens. ( too much for my 82 year old mom who can't see or walk all that well) Jahie suggested the back/side of the restaurant and it felt more like a break room with a couple employees eating along with other employees cleaning out these large stacked containers and all of them chatting amongst each other. Reeeeally disappointed in her lack of care or consideration. One odd thing...the silverware didn't have a knife included...just a fork..so I ended up eating with my hands. Though all of the napkins and containers are very nice for being disposable. I got the 1/4 chicken with 2 sides..a salad (really fresh greens and a nice house dressing..and a side of potatoes-they were really tasty. The chicken was basic...but the dipping sauce is an oil with herbs..that was really good. My mom enjoyed her teriyaki chicken bowl...all the ingredients are really fresh and delicious. Hopefully it was an off day...had to deduct points for the complete lack of customer service. This was after we already tipped :(
