Castro's Surf N' Turf

We stopped here for lunch on our way to San Simeon. I customized the classic tacos and added rice, beans, guacamole and flaming hot Cheetos and they were so delicious. The hot sauce was so good. The service was fast and the server was kind and considerate. Glad that we stopped here!

Cool contemporary mexican diner. Food and service were excellent.

Yoda in the upside-down boat on the ceiling, delicious tacos for 5.99 each, what not to love 😀 Be aware: no coffee, no sweets, plastic forks. My hubby said he had the best burrito ever 🌯

One of the best burritos and taco I’ve ever had accompanied by such friendly service! Highly recommend the grilled cod taco and the Baja surf and turf burrito. We got a $5 burrito to go because we were so happy with our order. Can’t wait to make the drive to SoCal again so we can stop by this place. Thank you!

Omg the shrimp burrito was amazing. I'm so glad I found this place. If you're heading to not Nor Cal or So Cal on the 101, it's a must! The place looks nice inside. There are plenty of TVs and they even have a bar with a big screen TV.

Surf & Turf Tacos definitely hit. Could have used some hot sauce to go with it, but other than that they were good.

An oasis in the Central Valley! Excellent fish tacos with seared ahi tuna. Very warm welcome.

Best place in town. Great food and has every game. Eric is great and ensures you have drinks and food quickly.

This place is my favorite place to eat in King City. Great food, good prices, friendly atmosphere and the staff is enthusiastic in their service. I have brought my kids here and they love the food. Sports on TV’s is nice too.

Truly fantastic service, totally worth the wait! Absolutely love the chef and the cashier, they are so polite. The food is soooo good!

They have some of the most amazing tacos and burritos I have eaten. I usually have one or the other versions of fish tacos when I pass near King City. It's a little less traditional than many of the other fine Mexican establishments, and that's part of the charm in a way. My only complaint are the three walls of giant televisions all on sports channels. I could do with a little less of that. Food is made fresh, so it may take 10 minutes to get, but it is worth it. Good parking, kid friendly.

The shrimp in the tacos were SOOO fresh! And, the heated chips and salsa were delicious with a generous portion of chips!

This place has the best shrimp tacos in King City. Great service and clean place perfect to watch sports. Musttry their Baja shrimp and fish tacos.

Excellent spot for a California burrito with excellent salsas. Crispy fresh fries and high quality steak, tasty shrimp. All the components of a 5 star burrito! Would be a good spot for football as they have some huge tv’s.

This was highly recommended by a friend and did not disappoint. Tacos are the bomb. Grilled shrimp tacos are the best I've ever had. They make their own sauces and the Baja style is just so unique it's great on the fish. It's also such a cute little place with picnic style chairs and tables. We'd love to come back.

Their food is always good whenever I go. Their customer service was great too. Atmosphere is awesome the vibes are great and always feel welcoming, in my opinion I think they need more locations it’s so good! They live up to “Proudly not fast food” in the best way possible

Always stop by when I pass king city. Great food. Tacos, burrito, loaded fries...all good. You cant miss.

I was so happy with our stop here! Food was incredible. Service was good and patient as we scanned the menu. Atmosphere was Rock n Roll. My type of place!!!

Lovely ambience (Attack on Titans skateboard on the wall and inverted boat on ceiling) Good concept (Mexican and Americana food) Nice service (girls were friendly and helpful) Great food especially the quesadilla Taco. The fish and chips were also great. The salsas were good especially the Serrano

The food was excellent, service was prompt. My husband had seared ahi tuna tacos, and I had a surf and turf (beef and shrimp) quesadilla, which was the perfect size for me (my palm size), not huge. Both dishes were juicy, savoury, mindfully made. On the table there were three different pepper sauces, the least hot one being habanero sauce.

If passing through King City this is a must stop for bomb asada/steak paired with awesome shrimp in all sorts of wonderful combinations ( though they do have other options as well). The steak as mentioned earlier was perfectly seasoned and cooked and shrimp pairing along with the dressings they place (their house Baja dressing is sooo good) make for meal you won't regret. Also tried their Fish Tacos and I am telling you that the rock fish was battered excellently and their corn tortilla was just the right amount of thickness & flavor to compliment the tacos. Was recommended to come here thru word of mouth if traveling on 101 near Paso Robles/ SLO and it definitely holds up to it reputation. Somewhere I will definitely come to again if traveling nearby. Decent parking for the building, bench seating so good for group and nice overall interior atmosphere. Your meal can take a second so if in a rush, better to order/call ahead but 100% worth the wait. Definitely a spot you will eat again and again once you discover it.

We stopped here unexpectedly on a road trip, needing to grab some dinner, and were not quite expecting how tasty everything would be. When the chef brought out our shrimp (Baja style) and fried avocado tacos and our California (with carne asada) burrito, the presentation was simple but lovely, and the flavor was YUM. What a great discovery & we'll be back if we're ever in the area!

The changes made to the restaurant are nice. The iconic painted skateboards are still on the wall and they got rid of their space mural but they put a bar in its place. I heard they had burgers so my hubby and I had to come to check em out. They didn't disappoint. I got the Surf and Turf which has shrimp and my husband got the Serrano Burger. I love the seasoning of both the shrimps and patty. I appreciate them putting the veggies on the side. And there's fries hiding under the veggies. The burgers are big!! My husband said that the Serrano Burger is spicy which he loves. I wanted to post the new menu since it's not present on this review site. Very delicious food. I recommend everything on the menu. I haven't been disappointed.

You gotta stop by! You won't be disappointed. We drove an hour & 1/2 just to eat here lol we got the shrimp asada fries, shrimp tacos, and the Cali surf n turf Burritos. Their meat and secret sauce is the shiiiiiit! I promise you that you won't be disappointed. Trust me I am super picky when it comes to Mexican food because I can cook it myself. Let me tell you we try to come at least once a month JUST to eat so that tells you a lot.

So glad we stopped here while passing by. The shrimp tacos were delicious and unlike anything we’ve tried. Your Moms Wedding Fries was a favorite of the group with so different ingredients there was something for everyone. The Mango Aquachile had great flavor and was full of shrimp. Glad we tried the tritip melt on available of certain days because it was tender and full of meat. We’ll be back.

Great value and great food! We ordered the classic carne asada tacos and fish tacos Baja style. Food was marvelous and service was fast and excellent. Stumbled upon this place driving through town and very happy we found it. Fantastic experience and couldn’t recommend it enough!

One of the best available in King City, they have varieties that’s not available else , I am very happy with the dishes I have had . Expect waiting, so order in advance. A must try , if you are in king City. Slightly costly , but worth it . It would have been nice if they have given pickle and salsa with Burito , I thought it was in the pack , but wasn’t. I didn’t ask also , it’s on me.

Had the shrimp taco Baja style and it was delicious. Service was a bit slow but they did communicate that right upfront that it would take a bit to come out. That in itself was very much appreciated. Worth a stop if you find yourself anywhere near there.

Great burritos (Super and White Widow). Some of the best we've had. Good service. Docked a point because it could be cleaner, and flies were seen. But it wouldn't keep us from returning!

The food was great, but they didn’t turn the heat on during a really cold day, and the place was freezing. They only played new country music.

Tried a few dishes today and everything hit the spot. The shrimp popcorn was crispy, juicy, and seasoned just right — addictive from the first bite. The California burrito was loaded, flavorful, and super satisfying, with every ingredient coming together perfectly. The fish tacos were fresh, light, and packed with flavor, easily the highlight of the meal. Overall, a delicious spread — would definitely go back for more.

Got the vegetarian burrito without cheese and sour cream for a delicious vegan option! Friendly staff, quick service, and fair prices!

Their classic tacos were my favorite above all. The chicken tacos were the star! The battered cod taco was my second best- so light and crunchy and filling. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, not rubbery in the slightest. Love the spice level of the sauces and full of flavor. Pretty affordable as well!

Addendum to first review - food is still AWESOME. Service... not so much. There was literally ONE customer in store when I entered and was told 20-25 minutes for my order. I understand they do lots of call in pickups but jeez it's Friday night. I've been here four times now and each experience gets a little worse. And EVERY TIME there has been no soap/paper towels in the restroom. At least the toilet flushes? Best tacos I've EVER had! Had the surf-n-turf and a chicken taco recently on a road trip. Anyone traveling on 101 should check this place out. Two minutes off freeway. Cool artwork too!

Guacamole was fresh and the salsa was spicy and a different texture than most. Love the traditional double tortilla and the choice of sauces. A bit cramped and I'm not sure about sanitation grades in California. But I would go again.

The food was good and seemed fresh. We ordered a salad with carne asada and they left off the meat. The cabbage on the veggie burrito was good and the flavor of the rice was too. They also didnt give us salsa on ghe side as requested. We got take out and were down the road.

If there was no star rating I would give it a 0. Meat was not well cooked. Tasted plain. Food was unsanitary, there was a hair in my food. I will never eat here again!

Very long wait times. Not worth it. Ordered online at 1:40 to avoid a wait time. Got there 20 mins later. Had to wait an extra 10 when I got there because it wasn’t ready yet. Got the food at 2:10 but they put a topping on my food that I’m allergic to. Had to go back and ask for a redo. Received the new order at 2:40. Overall, very long wait time for 4 items. It’s great that you consider yourselves “proudly not fast food” but maybe you should work a little faster on the food.

Was eager to try for my first time but sitting in the corner for 30 minutes waiting for 2 burritos was unacceptable I ask for an update and to top it off they said it was going to be another 30 minutes for the food no thanks !!

I asked for a veggie bowl and I got a veggie plate with hardly any food on it was very upset and I will never come back here again sorry and on top of that I got chorro
