The food: I order carne asada and my friend ordered fish tacos. They were both delicious and cooked to perfection. My steak was tasty and tender. It was not dry and it was huge. The fish taco was crispy on the outside and juicy inside. I love love their salsa. It tasted like it was homemade. The service was fast. We got our food no more than 10 mins. And it was served hot. The Ambiance is a party vibe and so very colorful inside. It’s clean. The price is not too bad. We spent no more than $60 for the both of us.

Fantastic happy hour tacos. Salsa and chips gratis, and have had the same wonderful taste for the 25 years I have been going here. Great local spot, Cheers to Jessie and the team at Taco Surf!

Great Mexican food. Super nachos with carnitas and shrimp seafood bowl. Horchata drink to wash it all down. This is a cool, colorful spot. Happy hour from 4pm to 6pm Monday thru Friday. Great customer service!

Im a frequent repeat customer who took a friend there for her first visit, and she asked if we could go there again in the future! Food is good service is great, staff are all kind and helpful. I've tried a few different menu items but always come back for the Baja fish taco. I always look forward to a cold draft beer with the chips and salsa!

Great spot for fish tacos and other Mexican dishes. Portions were big and service was great. Cozy atmosphere.

This place has been a long standing “go to” for Mexican food. Since the pandemic, it has been a life saver. The quick, safe, and friendly pickup makes this an almost weekly stop for us. The Brandi salad if we are feeling on the lighter side, or like tonight, shrimp and Baja fish tacos and a couple Coronas.

Awesome Baja Mexican restaurant in Los Alamitos. The service is quick. The food is excellent. The drinks are good. The al pastor tacos, the shredded beef tacos, and the fish tacos are amazing. Everything here is really good. Highly recommend.

This spot has chili rellenos! This dish is so good! I loved every bite. I also ordered a deep fried potato taco with ground beef. A super tasty taco that doesn't taste oily or heavy. I was smacking my lips! Cute bar atmosphere with very good staff. My first time eating here and I definitely will be back for more of the same!

Great food, superfast and professional service and awesome salsa!!! This is fast food at it's best. Pollobowl, tacos al carbon, crunchy taco and the charbroiled chicken with rice and beans all hit the spot. Literally nothing was so-so, it was all great tasting. Service was attentive and to make it even better, we used a coupon and saved some bucks. Recommended if you like fresh food that is also nutritious.

I finally found a wet burrito I like. Well..... more like a wet chimichanga burrito with carne asada. Same difference. Carne asada is extra which is oddly strange. It's Mexican food. Why would you charge extra for carne asada? My chimichanga was a hefty size and delicious. Could use more meat though. Got it to go with churros dessert. Some of churro pieces were hard, but I ate it anyways. Went back later and tried the chicken taquitos. They were tasty. A little pricey for Mexican American food. Decor inside is cute

It aight Cool bar but No hard alcohol 5.50 for one taco is way too much.but I will be back to try more food because the place is bustling.

Birria tacos were delicious, but the fish plate was not very good. It did not taste fresh. They only serve margaritas with wine agave, not tequila. Our waiter kept getting distracted and forgot about us a few times. The sunset beach location is much better for food and service.

I go here a few times a month. The staff are always friendly, but the food has been cold several times. I'm not sure why, but it sucks when you take your first bite, and it's chilly. ❄️

I love the chicken, but lately the portion sizes are getting ridiculous. More than once, I order 4 piece all dark and get a thigh that had as much meat as a wing. Another time, my all dark order had a breast piece.

Great flavor but it seems the chicken and portions are getting smaller. This location has better service than most and is clean. I came during lunch and decided to order inside to test how fast it would be compared to the drive thru. I made it out before the car I would've been and that's after having a customer ahead of me trying to pay with a card that was denied no less than 5 times.

Not sure how they get this "wrong"--crazy dry "double chicken" avocado salad, maybe a tablespoon of pico de gallo (low supply?), 3 slices of avocado (yum). The dressing helped. Maybe 5:15 on a Saturday is a bad time to get fresh chicken. I don't get it. So many better options nearby. On to the dance show at LAHS...

I drove there and ordered the double avocado fit bowl. I was thrilled to learn they have a spinach salad. I'm trying to eat healthy, and they now serve spinach salads. And since avocado is a healthy fat, I was looking forward to this meal. But as you can see in the photo, my salad did not have ANY avocado. And I didn't feel like driving back just for part of my salad.

This spot was recommended by coworkers stating it's "really good" but it was not. The food is not authentic, very Americanized, blan, felt more like a sports bar. Our server was not very friendly, seemed like a grump, rice tasted like it was microwaved, can beans, the michi was unnecessarily spicy, unpleasant to drink. Restrooms need some TLC, crowded with sport teams, loud kids. Wouldn't recommend to friends 🤷‍♀️

The portion are rediculous so small. Know they give you a plate with d’offenser compartiment. Don’t Even fill up the plate. I don’t know if it’s this location or if el pollo loco change their plate

Same as misty below said. We waited 30 min in the drive thru. I thought with all the time we had waited, by the time we got to the drive thru window our very small order would be ready and immediately handed to us. I was shocked that it was not ready yet. They need to take notes from chic fil a. Their wait time was unreal. Also, my LA spicy burrito was advertised as having guacamole, it didn't. Double disappointment.

This used to be my go-to place for quick and tasty food but not anymore. Today we ordered taquitos, one hard shell taco, and a side of chicken for delivery. Unfortunately the side of chicken had a bug, maybe a fly or a bee, smashed in between the container and the lid and this thing was pretty big, but we didn't notice until after eating most of the other food which made us both feel sick just thinking about other possible bugs in the food we did eat. Picture attached is the lid from the side of chicken.

$21 for nachos with pork, and the toppings came on a small plate. It was barely enough for one serving of the nachos. When I asked for some additional pico de gallo, I was charged another $1.95 for a quarter ounce of tomatoes. Terrible business practice. I assume the reason the toppings came on a separate plate is to save money on the ingredients. The menu didn't state build your own nachos. $50 for 3 tacos and nachos, what a scam. They tried to blame the system for the additional charge of toppings. Never going back ... next time I will make the entire order at home for $10.

It's closed for renovations placed a mobile order and was able to pay and got there to see it's closed till next week. Why do they even let you pay if it's closed?

Don’t order online I ordered online a chicken burrito with no cilantro dressing No pico de gallo No jack cheese They only ended up giving me a burrito full of cilantro dressing and some extra on the side and no avocado this is a horrible place to order online

My choice were to wait up to an hour for my food that I order ahead or wait 96 hours for a refund. The GM has no compassion for poor service for their customers. If you wanted to feel like you time has no meaning and you don’t matter come to this location. Edit: I was a victim of prejudice at this point. Customers came in after me got there food before me. They were acknowledged walking in and I wasn’t. Just overall lack of empathy and care. Manager alluded to telling me that just what it was and to accept the situation. I should be due a refund for this poor excuse of service faster than 4 days. I left here frustrated, hungry, left feeling like my business means less than dirt. Great way to treat people.

This is the second time I went to this location ordered a 4 piece “ALL DARK” chicken with 2 sides and the second time when I got home there was white meat instead of all dark! Make sure you open and check everything before leaving this for lace they clearly can’t get a simple order correct.
