I tried a quick lunch at Surf Tacos in Manasquan. Cool place, clean with a beachy vibe and interior. Service was prompt, which is always good. I ordered the $15 plate with 2 tacos, chips, beans, rice, and a drink that is a substantial meal. Opted for a Mahi and a Surf (breaded cod) taco to mix it up. They have a nice salsa bar, and I tried a little of them all. Drink offers soda or a tea dispenser.
The Cod taco was heavily breaded and not very tasty. Salsa helped. The Mahi...read full review

I’ve been ordering from this location since it opened, for maybe two decades. In all those hundreds of orders, I’ve had an incorrect item maybe once. Respect to the staff there. Also, the actual Surf Taco is a classic.
The tacos are bigger than you think, two tacos would have been plenty.

Surf Taco is a popular lunch spot known for its excellent menu selection and food quality. The staff is friendly, and the restaurant has a clean, beachy vibe that enhances the dining experience. They offer a variety of fresh salsa choices, although some customers have noted that the salsa can be similar to store-bought options rather than fresh pico de gallo. While some may be disappointed if a favorite dish is no longer available, such as the Baja bowl, there are still tasty options like the Malibu veggie bowl, fish and shrimp tacos, and burritos. Prices are on the higher side, with a meal and bottled water costing around $19 or more, as noted by customers who mention substantial plates for about $15. Despite some inconsistencies in food preparation, such as a heavily breaded Cod taco, Surf Taco remains a recommended dining option for those seeking a local and fun eating experience, with quick service and a nice atmosphere that keeps customers coming back.
