" What an incredible experience at Surfside Taco Stand! I visited this place after a recommendation from a friend and was blown away by the variety of tacos they have. I tried the shrimp and birria tacos, and both were bursting with flavor! The shrimp taco was fresh, with just the right amount of spice, while the birria melted in my mouth. I also loved the street corn—it was perfectly charred and seasoned! The outdoor seating by the Wharf added to the charm, making the meal enjoyable. Definitely going back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations from Surfside, given the buzz around it. The tacos themselves were delicious, but I experienced a long wait even for takeout. Seating is scarce especially during peak hours. I loved the fish tacos, but my only complaint was the slow service. Nonetheless, I’d still recommend giving it a shot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Surfside Taco Stand has been a local favorite of mine since it opened! I can't get enough of their tacos. The fish taco is my go-to, but the birria tacos are also fantastic. The atmosphere is always buzzing, and I’ve never had bad service. I highly recommend stopping by if you're ever in the Wharf area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Surfside Taco Stand is a hidden gem! I loved the casual vibe and the tasty fare. The birria tacos are a must-try—they come with a rich broth that is packed with flavor. I was skeptical about the yellow rice, but it complemented the tacos perfectly. My only critique is that it gets quite crowded and the seating arrangements seem limited. If you don’t mind standing or eating by the waterfront, you’ll have a great time! I’m already planning my next visit for Taco Tuesday! " (*Curated Review*)

" The best tacos I’ve had in a long time! They were deliciously packed and bursting with flavor. I also enjoyed their fresh lemonade, which was refreshing! A great stop after a walk around the Wharf, it was busy but worth the wait. I’ll be back to try the shrimp burrito next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a taco lover's dream! I loved the vibe here, very casual but with great service. I ordered the crab tacos, and the crab was sweet and freshly prepared. The taco variety is excellent, and their street corn is addictive! Parking can be a hassle around the Wharf area, but the food makes up for it. If you're in the neighborhood, don't miss this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a little disappointed in my visit to Surfside Taco Stand. Despite hearing so many good things, my taco was just okay, and the seating situation was not ideal. The food seemed rushed and lacked the authentic flavor I had hoped for. However, the staff was friendly, and maybe I just caught them on a busy day. " (*Curated Review*)
