Often praised
- foodIt can be a little difficult to find via GPS or online because there are two OB & PB locations both on Cass St, but once you find it, you're in for a treat. The food is so good – I always get the trifecta taco and the octopus taco, YUM! Their sauces are the best.
- tacosMy experience at this walk-up taco stand was fantastic! It's a must-try spot for great tacos and sauces. We even saved the leftover sauces, and they were delicious on anything we used them on.
- saucesThey came with some sauces I used all 3 😂. Red one is SPICE-EEE okay?!
- burritoMy experience at Surf & Turf Cali was fantastic! I found it to be a top 5 burrito in SD. The prices were fair, and the staff was good.
- burritosHarry's Taco Club deserves a 6th star. Located just a few blocks from the northern end of PB, you'll find the best burritos in San Diego. You can eat there or hit up the window for your food to go.
- California burritoThe California burrito was one of the best I've ever had!
- steakI had the Cali Burrito, which was incredibly flavorful and generously sized. The steak was tender, and the cilantro perfectly complemented the other ingredients. Honestly, this was the best burrito I’ve ever had.
- Cali BurritoMy experience at this magnificent taco spot was outstanding. I had the best Cali Burrito in San Diego, and I consider this place a must for at least one meal every trip! The food quality is exceptional, making it a go-to destination for delicious Mexican cuisine.
- carne asada friesMy experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the most incredible burritos, carne asada fries, and tacos. The food was absolutely delicious, and the tortillas were out of this world.
- FoodFood:5
Frequently criticized
- carne asadaI found the food to be not authentic or fresh. While the fish tacos were decent, the carne asada was the worst I had ever had, to the point where I threw it away. The tortillas also seemed old.
- foodI ordered the steak burrito, and the meat tasted horrible. I felt sick afterwards and had to throw out my burrito after only a few bites because of how gross it tasted. There was another taco shop across the street with a big line, while this place had no line, which I now understand was for good reason.
- cali burritoThe cali burrito was soggy and cold.
- tortillaOverall, the tacos were bland and uninspiring. The battered fish was almost flavorless, with a batter that wasn't particularly crispy or satisfying, and the tortilla was limp and soggy. The octopus taco was slightly better; it at least had some flavor and texture, and the avocado on it was fresh, but it was nothing special.
- California shrimp and steak burritotasted like mush. Didn't taste any shrimp at all
- FoodFood:1
- Mexican foodMy experience at this restaurant was disappointing. I found that it was not hard to find better Mexican food nearby. Additionally, the staff doesn't put out much effort.
- added beansask for added beans in my burrito. No beans.
- amount of saucesamount of sauces I get are less and less
- batterbatter was not especially crispy or satisfying
If youre craving an excellent, generously sized burrito with delicious sauces, this place is definitely worth a visit. Just be mindful that some seafood options or the steak might not always hit the mark, and dont be shy about asking for extra sauce!

- priceMy experience at this great little corner stand was positive, though it's important to note it's not an actual club. The food is delicious and offers good portion for the price. While it might not be the absolute best Mexican seafood place in San Diego, it provides great value for the location.
- pricesThe octopus had good texture and flavor, but the battered fish taco was just that – nothing special. I found Mimi's tacos on the next block to have way better prices and flavors.
- valueThe food is delicious and offers good portion for the price. While it might not be the absolute best Mexican seafood place in San Diego, it provides great value for the location. They also serve alcoholic beverages, making it a perfect quick stop for any beach day.
- salsaI’ll pay for a cup
Frequently criticized
- priceFor its price and the time it took
- prices?! For what I consider standard street tacos and a cola, this felt like terrible prices. While the taste was good, it wasn't $15 good.
- cash paymentI used to give 5 stars, but they refused my cash tonight. This place is 500+ feet from my house and I USED to frequent it.
- moneynot worth the money at all
- tacosThe only complaint is the price. The tacos are $6-7 each, so if you're feeding a family be prepared to spend a lot of money!
- tourist trapIt’s a tourist trap
- wasted $40we wasted 40$ on 2 burgers and fries
When it comes to value, this spot is a bit of a gamble. If youre seeking generous portions and specific items that hit the mark, you might find a great deal. However, be prepared for potentially higher prices on other menu items, as some feel its not always worth the money.

Delicious Tacos and Chill Vibes
Came here after two hikes and was starving lol. I ordered two individual tacos, one steak and shrimp and one grilled spicy shrimp. Both were a really good size and filling!
Loved them both. They came with some sauces; I used all 3 😂. The red one is SPICE-EEE, okay?
! The service was chill and super nice, just the way I like it. They had a two for one margaritas special, and I think that’s a wonderful addition to some tacos.
The bathroom is inside the main bar with pool tables. They have an outdoor patio, which is where my bestie and I sat. Loved it.

My experience at this restaurant was great! There isn't much space inside for takeout, and only a few tables are available outside. However, you can freely sit at the bar (Cass St.) to enjoy your drink and order some tacos.
I appreciate the simple menu, which I found to be delicious and clean. I highly recommend this place!

Incredible Burrito Catering for Beach Party!
We recently had a wedding and wanted burritos catered for the day after at the beach party. The owner mentioned how they don't often do catering, but they did it for us. He was super accommodating to our needs.
They were able to deliver 70 burritos! You would think it's a catering business; the quality was very high. Everyone at the party kept mentioning these were the best burritos they have tried in San Diego.
We couldn't be happier with our decision on picking Harry's!

Flavorful Carne Asada, Better Than Taco Surf
My experience at this restaurant was centered around their carne asada burrito, which I found to be the most flavorful I've ever had. I had previously tried Taco Surf and thought it would be better, but this place surpassed it. The food was rated a 5 out of 5, and the service was a 4.
The atmosphere received a 3. Parking was noted as difficult to find. The price per person was between $10–20, and there was no wait time for a group of 2 people.
