The meat has zero flavor, they rely on their "special sauce" to provide the flavor of the entree, which is no different than EVERY OTHER MEXICAN JOINTS wet burrito sauce. The atmosphere is light extremely casual with a pick up window for the beach life. Best thing on the menu is probably the nachos, they use lettuce as a filler in their burritos. As I am sitting here in the "eating area" writing this review, my lemonade has remained empty while they force the check and a carry out box on me and my family. I should have gone to taco surf up the street.

Great food, Small parking lot out back usually riddled with homeless people harassing you for change since they know you just paid CASH only. Employees seem to not care too much, witnessed a lady being I gored and talked down to about sauce on a burrito. Food was cold upon pickup, definitely trying some of the other burrito places after this experience. I respect that Friday night is busy but customers should never be talked down to especially if they have a mental disorder :-(

We love the food here its a bit pricy but worth it. The best time to enjoy this place is the winter it gets very busy in the summer and some times parking is hard to find.when its busy In the summer the service is not great they are some times under staffed. The salsa is great but the chips are greasy and large so you have to break into pieces. In the winter parking is easy the service is good and its across the street from the beach.

I have been going there for years but after today I will never step foot in there. The lady that works there is unbelievably rude! I never write bad reviews about places but when someone treats my family like that well... All I have to say is the woman that works there should not be working in customer service. She literally made my 3 year old cry!

food was pretty good, I ordered two hard shell tacos with shredded beef, no complaints with the tacos, however I did notice that they show favoritism towards the locals, there was a girl that worked in the area, she was in line in front of me, I noticed when she ordered he didnt charge her the tax, and when I ordered he did charge me the tax lol.

I have been coming here for about 18 years. The food is always yummy, however, after going today i was disappointed with the price. I got two scrambled eggs, beans, 2 flour tortillas and a soda $13.95 + tax and tip. Just wow. I would say this place is now $$$ not $$. It still gets four stars die to the fact it is good authentic Mexican food.

We have eaten here a dozen times. They are cash only. They have an ATM in site. The service is fair to good. Their food is blan and could use a little extra seasoning. The chips are extremely greasy. The salsa is good. My family all agreed that the last we went was our last. We prefer Super Mex or Yucatan Grill.

The food is great at this place! They have a Surfers Special, which is two bean & cheese burritos and a medium drink for only $5! Great deal! We can see what everybody is talking about with the lady at the window, she is rude to everyone that weve seen! But everyone else is nice, and its fun to eat inside too.

My kids love the food and they eat there at least once a week. We can do without the bad treatment and service from one of their employees. Today at around 11:30 they walked over with their summer camp just to deal with a nasty sarcastic lady which screamed at every kid that got up to the window to order.

Me and my friends have been coming here for years. The food is a mix of American Mexican food and Mexican Mexican food, theres more American Mexican food than Mexican. The salsa they have is so delicious and their water tastes good too- not metallic at all. The only downside is parking is difficult.

Amazing! Shrimp burrito is a MUST. Very different & refreshing. Salsa is also awesome. Almost tastes pickled? Definitely unique with a good amount of spice. Very kid friendly environment too. They brought out "kids salsa" too. :)

This is one of my favorites places in town. I love the location across the street from the beach. They have lunch specials that are really inexpensive and good. Love this place a must go to in Seal Beach if you love Mexican food.

Been coming here for lunch every Friday for nearly 20 years. I cant speak for the counter service but the restaurant is always pleasant, the food is good and relatively inexpensive. The service is fast and polite.

Just had the fish taco and chips but if that was any indication of what to expect on the rest of the menu, I highly recommend stopping by!

From flies to tables being unbalanced...Staff was nice,. The grub in comparison to the cost, not anything to rave about. Parking, street.

Surfers special is the best you can possibly get. The food is well cooked and the chips are nice and round.
