★★★★★ 5.0 Mathilda Smith · Nov 2025

Absolute chef’s kiss. The Malibu tacos were some of the best, if not the best, vegetarian tacos I’ve ever eaten. It was well presented, the flavors were out the roof, my mother and I almost licked our plate clean. Especially for a non-vegan restaurant, I really appreciate the thought they put into creating aesthetic, tasty vegetarian options. The atmosphere was very homey, you can tell they put a lot of thought on their decorations, and multiple groups of different ages came by. It’s welcoming to all.

Biggest rip-off ever. Should have gone to Chipotle. Spent $90 on four people and saw better lettuce on a leftover Subway sandwich left on the counter for a week. Such a lackluster meal. So disappointed and feel ripped off. Shame on you for charging over $16 for microwaved fish.

Surfside is our go-to lunch spot near work, and my coworkers and I absolutely love it. The tacos are always fresh and flavorful— truly the best around. The Mexican-California vibe is spot on, and the bowls, chips, and salsa never disappoint. The indoor-outdoor seating adds to the chill, welcoming atmosphere. We’ll be back again and again. 10/10!

My friends and I really enjoyed our experience here. We sat indoors right by the outdoor patio. Our group dined on a Tuesday where the taco Tuesday special was an extra taco with the 2 tacos that are already included. You can pick and choose whether you want the same kind of taco or something different. We ordered the Island Nachos, birria, Cabo San Lucas and Maui tacos. The consume broth was so rich and the Branzino was cooked perfectly. Everything was delicious and made fresh. The food came out very fast. Yes the prices are at a premium here but you get a lot of protein and some rice with the entrees as well. Our server was great and parking was free after 5 pm during the week.

Truly impressive from start to finish. The restaurant combines excellent quality with a welcoming atmosphere. Everything felt thoughtfully arranged and carefully executed. The staff maintained a friendly and respectful attitude throughout the visit. A perfect example of how a dining experience should be delivered.
