You can see and smell the delicious food cooking when you enter. We are always asked, “What's in that big pot over there?”

Carne Asada is One of the Best Sellers

Carne Asada is One of the Best Sellers

Carne asada is one of the best sellers at Taco Surf. We use top sirloin and cook each one to order. The meat never sits after it is cooked. Tortilla soup is one of the favorites also, the tomato broth has a nice piquant flavor, you can choose fresh grilled chicken or shrimp.

Visiting this restaurant is like taking a trip to the beach without ever leaving home. The ambience created by the surfboards make you feel instantly relaxed and give off a real beach vibe.

Best Burritos in America

“The smell will draw you off the beach and into this uniquely Southern California taqueria. Though there are more than 15 burrito filling options, opt for the carne asada. The top sirloin is cooked to order and never sits around, creating an extremely fresh burrito of warm beef juices.”


Some things happy customers have said

Hands down best fish tacos in the area! Grilled salmon, red snapper, cod…all delicious! Rice and beans both are delicious and portions are generous! Add Taco Surf to your list!

I just had the best carne asada burrito I’ve had all year. Everything else I had was equally as good, but man you have to try this burrito. Excellent food, fast service, great prices, no wonder they’ve been open for so long. Great community restaurant.

I've always loved the quality tacos they serve here. They're absolutely fresh every time. Did I mention the inside of the restaurant is covered in surfboards? When I come to SD, it is the highlight of my beach visit. (Besides being able to see my sister!) Highly recommend the trip and sticking around. Relax in this cozy atmosphere right by the beach. Get a couple stickers and a tee shirt too maybe.

Established in 1989!

Established in 1989!

Taco Surf began in 1989 when original owners Sam & Cindy McLarty opened Taco Surf PB and began a tradition of delicious Mexican food served fast and friendly using the highest quality ingredients they could find. The McLarty family ran Taco Surf proudly for more than 30 years before retiring in early 2020. Since then, very early and frequent Taco Surf customer Matt Gilmore and family have taken over the business keeping that tradition alive with the original staff and of course the recipes. Matt and wife Melanie are both long time residents of the community having both arrived in PB from Northern California right out of high school. They enjoy living nearby with their two young kids Milo and Maci who like to help out in the taco shop with their dad from time to time.
