My friend and I stumbled upon this gem after arriving in town for a conference. It was so good we went back three days in a row to try out the various options. The chicken, pork, and steak were each tender and juicy—flavors came together perfectly. The staff was friendly and welcoming! We will be back next time we are in town!

Hubby and I we're looking for some place to grab some lunch after our flight and stumbled upon this cute little taco stand and what a pleasant surprise! The nachos were my favorite and absolutely DELICIOUS ! The birria tacos were yummy too! There are a few tables inside that you can eat at, which was great because it was soooo windy outside. We would definitely be back next time were are in town!

Food was hot and fresh. Street Corn was the best. Nachos crispyand beef seasoned. Even got tap water with no issue, lol. Large portion and enough to share between 2 people.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Liz · Apr 2025

The food is fine. The location is lovely. Warning: Don't ask for a cup of tap water or they get attitude with you. Unclear how providing tap water is against company policy. They must have a different policy than other locations at the Wharf or in DC that serve both families with children and also serve alcohol. For comparable price and food quality, there are many other options on the wharf that are more welcoming.

Perfect spot for a late night meal! Surf side was one of the few places open on a Friday night after 11pm within reasonable distance to the Anthem. We got the Maui and the Punta Cana tacos- one was chicken and the other fish. Highly recommend these options but want to try all of the others! The rice was a little bland, but added some depth to the tacos We also got a large size guacamole, which complemented the tacos even more! They also had draft margaritas, which were delicious!
