I am a huge fan of Mexican food and I adore this place. Surf N Turf or Surfin California burritos with the creamy white/green sauce. Hits the spot every time. Also, their tacos are superb!

Best Burrito I've ever had!! You might have to stay in the line for a bit but you get your order really quick! Ill go back soon.

Had the seafood mahi mahi taco, that was delicious. We split a surf and turf burrito. The chipotle sauce adds a nice flavor to the shrimp and steak. The place is very small and cramped, be patient.

Between my fiancé and I we ordered Surf and Turf Tacos, Undefeated Seafood Tacos with Mahi and the Queso Taco and Champions Fries. A bit too much but everything was great!

Try the Surfin' California Burrito -- a steak, shrimp and french-fry-filled concoction that puts the smackdown on standard taqueria fare. As seen on Man v Food.

No breakfast burrito like el jefe. Definite way to start your day. May be all you need for an entire day. Also get the chips and try out the salsa bar.
Michelle MillerMarch 27, 2018
There are many versions of the California Burrito here from Carne Asada to Chicken. Amazing service, I went during a rare down time and got my burrito very quick. I got the traditional Cali with Carne

Tacos are amazing and they use great quality meat. Small selection of craft beer. Worth a visit to this Mission Hills establishment.

What an awesome spot! Love all the cool lucha libre paraphanillia everywhere but the food is what really stands out!! Fresh, great ingredients!! Get the surfin California!
JoanieDecember 23, 2014
Surf and turf, mahi mahi burritos are both so good! Try the green cucumber salsa and the the white/green salsa.
Marcus SaxtonMarch 11, 2016

THE BEST SURF AND TURF BURRITO YOU'LL EVER HAVE! Salsa bar is great! Get one of the mini burritos if you're not too hungry (still pretty big).
Rebecca JohnsonJune 10, 2013
Surf N Turf or Surfin California burritos with the creamy white/green sauce. Hits the spot every time. Also, their tacos are superb! Flaco Taco is a refreshing vinegary lettuce taco.
John FonteinNovember 9, 2017
Still the best tacos in all the land. Get the Surf and Turf Tacos and thank me later. 🌮🌯🔥
Connie ChiuJune 10, 2016
Highlights: the champion nachos and free chips + salsa. The mango salsa and creamy green cilantro one is fab. The tacos weren't amazing but thy are huge.
Sameer RautOctober 23, 2020
Their shrimp burrito with the special sauce is the best!
TiffanyApril 5, 2017
Try the Surfin California burrito! You can definitely get one to share between two. Also unlimited sauces - the garlic aioli is to die for.
Kevin P.October 5, 2013
Omg ...best Mexican food with a twist!!, creative atmosphere, cool place to grab Lunch ...or Lucha :-P get here before the noon rush, though...place gets VERY busy!;-)
Rob V. BurrAugust 25, 2013
Best three cheese dilla, evar. TJ dog is ok—the bacon is good but the mustard takes over. The creamy garlic salsa stuff is so good it makes me want to bathe in it.
Jona Rak KoceliSeptember 26, 2016
The best enchillada in my life (surf'n'turf). If you like good tacos, this is the place to go.
Tori Garcia-WilkersonJuly 14, 2013
If you order the pollo asado tacos make sure to ask for some lemon or lime , the pollo was tasty but kinda dry, but still really tasty! Next time im giving the surf n turf burrito a shot!
Nate KingDecember 13, 2015
Off the chain! The atmosphere is killer: there's lucha libre masks everywhere while montell jordan is playing in the background. Agua de jamaica on tap.

Some of the best burritos in San Diego with a great luchador theme. Get the Surfin' California. This is a SD staple!
Natasha LoomisFebruary 3, 2015
The most BOMB surf and turf burrito ever! #nolies #alltruth call ahead for pickup... it's the only way to go with that out-the-door constant line! #luchalibre
Stephanie WeiApril 25, 2018
The Surfin California burrito was too heavy with the fries inside. Would go back to the surf and turf next time or maybe try the tacos
FrancesNovember 3, 2017
the surf and turf burrito was everything i could have asked for in a california burrito
rebekah sOctober 11, 2015
Out door seating is nice. Always get balsamic. Italian restaurants always have great balsamic.
PaddyFebruary 12, 2016
Very nice place. Kind of cantina style with a wrestling theme. Queso taco w/ steak was awesome. Tacos are LARGE!!
Joe GiraudoNovember 3, 2010
Oh my god the Holy Moly is soooo good! This place has on of those burritos that is a food challenge... I think its 5lbs or something!! They even have a winners table for those who have eaten it!
Colin LeeApril 24, 2016
Line gets long on Saturday after 6 pm. Take out to avoid the line. Queso chicken and shrimp tacos are delicious
Anthony NguyenAugust 27, 2016
Creative interior that fits it's name. The surfin' california is my favorite burrito here. Great flavors!
Jeremy AnslowJune 8, 2017

val herzogMay 27, 2017
The fountain drinks were all so delicious, we also got the surf and turf tacos with the secret sauce that we loved
A.J. BrahmOctober 8, 2019
Lucha liver wrestling themed taco destination. Chips, and (3) free salsas with your order. Large portioned tacos.
Matt LeeSeptember 18, 2014
One of tha dankest burritos I have encountered is the Surfin' California. Luche Libre is where it's at!
DineSpotAugust 12, 2012
Very popular and for good reason! Great food. Try the Surf & Turf burrito, grilled shrimp, steak, and much more all rolled into a fantastic meal.

The salsa bar is legit. So many tasty options. The brownish red salsa closely resembles this Drunken Salsa made with tequila and dark beer. Learn how to make it at home on kitchenkonfidence.com!

SURFIN CALIFORNIA BURRITO IS SOOOOOO GOOD. Call in your order to spare yourself a crazy line and eat your food down by the Embarcadero
Stuart TaylorAugust 9, 2014
Great choice of burritos, when having a burrito which has meat and shrimp in it the flavour of the shrimp overpowers the meat
Alef MusicSpaceApril 4, 2015
Show before 11am and try a delicious #huevos rancheros #burrito ps. Usually there's no waiting in line at that time either.
Kelly WeaverAugust 23, 2016
Tacos are great, as well as the California Burrito....French fries and all (inside the burrito)
Charlie PenaflorOctober 30, 2011
Prior to voraciously devouring a Surfin' Cali Burrito, induce vomiting, and use/consume every laxative, stool softener, suppository, and enema know to man. Trust me, you'll need the space for this one
Debi EbeltNovember 10, 2015
The best surf and turf baked potato. Awesome ambience. All in all a great unique place to eat.

Breakfast is the bomb and there are no crowds to deal with in the morning. Try the chilaquiles or the triple squealer quesadilla.

Surfin' California Burrito. It's Carne Asada, Shrimp, Fries, avocado and secret sauces
Jennifer RichmanJuly 9, 2012
The New Style Veg Out burrito has to be the best vegan burrito I have ever had! The vegetables are marinated in balsamic goodness.
Michael BelluardoJune 17, 2016
The TJ dog was great. Something about a hot dog wrapped in bacon.... Oh And the tacos were good too
Jamie ROctober 3, 2015
