Taco Surf

We had a terrible dining experience here. Their «special of the day» was a salmon tacos plate, but there was more Cole slaw than salmon in the tacos. The cheese quesadilla had hardly any cheese in it and our waitresses hardly paid any attention to us. Our used dishes were piling up at our table and we had to ask them to remove them for us. My empty ice tea cup was sitting at the end of the table and the waitress just passed by like it wasn’t there. I had to practically beg them for any type of service. Even to get our check was a chore as it took about 15 minutes to flag down a server of another table to get our waitress. We’ll never come back again.

Muy buen servicio especialmente el mesero Haniel muy servicial y el muchacho Juan bien atento

I got to say, these are the best tacos in town. The shrimp burrito is also really good. I’m coming back to try the all the other meals. But hands down, the tacos are great and I keep coming back. Try the Baja Fish Taco!

If you love tacos, look no further than Taco Surf for the BEST tacos in the area that come complete with a large serving of guacamole on top.
For the best value, order one of their great combinations along with your favorite beer. It’s a lot of food for those with big appetites.
If you’ve never been to a Taco Surf, it will continue be one of your favorite spots for lunch or dinner after you’ve eaten there.

Can’t remember which location that I went to, but I’m leaving a review anyway. The wet burrito is also. I got a shrimp wet burritos. The sauce on it is delicious as well. The atmosphere lives up to the beachy atmosphere and is definitely a place to have a few beers and grub down.

Decent good authentic food.
Great atmosphere, feels very cozy, welcoming. Servers are nice.
No wait for 2, we sat right away. And our food came out pretty fast.
Recommend this place if your looking for some good Mexican food !

Stick to the fish tacos cabo style best food there specials in beer. Service good. Ambience adequate. Prices average. Did not like the fajitas

I was asked by Unilocal to provide more details of why I gave this restaurant one star. Supposedly, «the Unilocal community» did not agree with my review. I believe that Taco Surf pays Unilocal for advertising; and had their marketing team go into overdrive to get my negative review squashed.
In my opinion, this restaurant location is not for families, or anyone who is looking for a decent environment to enjoy their dinner.
I stand by this opinion, because not only did I have an extremely negative experience, but when I questioned others who have visited this establishment, some of them had a similar experience. Therefore, my experience was not a one-​off, doesn’t-happen-all-the-time event.
My friend and I were seated at the bar. The bartender took care of us right away. The drinks came quickly, as did the food. Both were adequate; not spectacular, but OK. We knew what to expect, for we have frequented 3 other Taco Surf locations, and had no issues.
At the Los Al location, we were surprised at some of the patrons of the bar who were «allowed» to LOUDLY use A LOT of profanity. The f-​bomb was every other word. When the bartenders did nothing to stop the profanity, we figured out that the low-​class patrons were regulars. These regulars were over-​served and drunk.
We nicely asked the drunks to curb the profanity; we also informed the manager of our unpleasant experience. We asked him to not cause us a problem. He could deal with them after we left. But, instead, he asked them to curb their language. (After he walked away, the drunks told him to «f off.») Then, the bartender asked them to curb their language. (After she walked away, the drunks told her to «f-​off» too.) Then, having figured out it was us who mentioned it to the manager, they told us to «f off.»
All of this within ear shot of other patrons and families with young children.
We yelled for the drunks to leave and for the manager to call the police. The manager did not kick them out, nor did he call the police. The manager and bartender spoke to the drunks in Spanish, so we are unsure of what was communicated. We had other patrons offer to pay our bill, but we refused to pay for the incredibly, horrible experience. We notified local police and the Alcoholic Beverage Commission of the over-​serving.
We will never visit this location again. We have no desire to hear profanity or dine with drunks. As with any Unilocal review, this is our opinion only. In fact, the next time we visit a different location, I’ll be happy to post what a great experience we had if we indeed do!

My parents love this place and every chance they can get a moment with me and my husband, this is where they want to go.
We’ve been a couple times and each time have ordered something different. So far I haven’t had anything I don’t like. The food is always fresh, the chips and salsa are great, and service is always top notch so I cannot complain. The unsweetened tea is kept fresh so this place has my vote.
Prices aren’t too shabby as well and parking is plenty.

I ordered a combination Fajitas plate… carne asada and shrimp. The shrimp was over cooked and rubbery without flavor. I saw the cooks in the kitchen, they were joking around with each other and maybe not paying attention to what they were doing. The staff is friendly.

The salsa and chips are DELICIOUS!!! I always go during happy hour when the tacos are $ 1.50. The Baja fish tacos are soo good! A little disappointed because they only carry Pepsi and not Coke, but who cares when the tacos are amazing??? A definite must try!

Happy hour my ass! Asada tacos are $ 2.50 the small ones that you can normally get for $ 1 – 1.5 during happy hour. The drinks are a good deal but I felt so ripped off with the tacos!

It had been a while since I have eaten here. Taco Surf was always dependable for good food at great prices. We enjoyed going there for years. However, on the first of two visits I noticed the place looked quite empty and not nearly as lively as usual. Upon being seated, I discovered that not only had they increased their prices quite a bit, but they have also skimped on the quality with their food. Gone are the fresh, warm chips, which are now replaced with some cheap, dry bag chips. The dinners were not drastically different, but it is obvious that they are not quite as plentiful and tasty as before. I went back a second time to confirm that it was not just an off day.

My favorite lunch spot in all of Los alamitos hands down. Best carnitas I’ve ever had in my life and I’m not exaggerating. Keep it up taco surf!

Great Salsa! Fast & friendly service. Happy hour tacos are great. Loved the Scorpion Chowder!

Came in to try out their tacos since I finished work early. Came around 5:30pm and there were a lot of people already. Got seated promptly and the waiter gave me chips and as for a drink quickly. Ordered the 3 taco special and enjoyed it very much. Overall good ambiance, good food, and most importantly good service. Will be back again someday.

Our favorite salsa and best Baja fish tacos!
Nicest staff. Can’t beat happy hour!
This is our go-​to spot for any meal or celebration.

The food here is amazing!!! I got the chili verde pork burrito. It’s huge! Plenty of leftovers for another day! Our waitress was super nice and on point. The manager saw we were low on salsa and brought more to us without us even having to ask! Excellent customer service and is delicious! I would definite recommend this Taco Surf at the Los Alamitos location!

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!!!

Every time I eat here, I remember why I rarely eat here.
This is not the fault of Taco Surf, but they seated a huge party with a lot of LOUD SCREAMING CHILDREN next to us. The volume was ear shattering. It made me want to eat my food as quickly as possible and get the hell out of there.
I ordered a chicken salad of some sort. The chicken was very dry and overcooked. It was rather large so I guess they get some points for that.
I do not like having to take my check up to the register to pay. It makes me want to leave a smaller tip since I’m responsible to participate in serving myself. They do not have a full liquor license so the margaritas consist of super sweet wine with mixers. Gross.
Please let me remember to read my own review before I consider coming back here again.

I have been several times to this place, since I work nearby. The fish tacos, Burritos are Excellent. The Nacho is realllly bad, dark chicken meat and wasn’t fresh.
$ 2.50 beers during happy hour (2−6pm), you can’t beat that!
The service was pretty slow, they took forever to bring the food to the table.
