Surf Taco may have Acapulco vibes but it’s a New Jersey institution. It got its start along the Jersey Shore in 2001 and has grown into a local chain with 13 locations in the Garden State (and one in Florida). They serve up a sizable selection of tacos, nachos, quesadillas, salads, smoothies, shakes, and burritos. There are plenty of burritos to choose from, but if you’re up for a challenge…

You’ll want to try their legendary Tsunami Burrito!

The burrito (pictured) comes in at around 4 pounds. It’s massive!

Just compare it to this regular-sized burrito! So, what is it?

Surf Taco/Facebook Char-grilled chicken, rice, beans, jack & cheddar cheeses, lettuce, sour cream and pico de gallo, wrapped in TWO extra-large flour tortillas, smothered in melted jack & cheddar cheeses and their roasted red pepper enchilada sauce. It’s topped with guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo, and served with chips.

When it comes to tacos, they have over a dozen kinds, including seasonal specials like Mango Shrimp and vegetarian-friendly options.

We also have to recommend their mouthwatering bowls and spectacular smoothies…

The dessert selection is on the smaller side but oh-so-sweet!
