Beach & Taco Shack

This place is a GEM;) Thank you Jeffery for your kindness, cute smile, and a lot of coke refills. We will definitely be back to here!

One of two options at Hotel Del if you need food to go. The Surf & Turf is a rich mix of brisket and shrimp, Achiote Shrimp has a nice, perky spice. No thanks on the Catch of the Day Taco - the slab of fish is bland and dry and it tastes like it was the catch of several days ago. The Chile Relleno is a good one, esp for vegetarians - love the mushroom and pepper combination.There's also a Cheese Quesadilla for pickier palates.Not bad for a quick meal or a grab n' go. Conveniently located on the beach.

Great location for a taco stand at The Del- perfect view of the ocean and they have a cute Tiki Bar setup with seating on the beach. I came on a late Friday afternoon and they had live music playing. The line to order was very long so my friend and I opted to order online. The order took about 10 minutes to be ready and we picked it up behind the bar. By the time we picked up our food, the line at the bar was shorter so I also picked up a margarita, which was well made. I had the Surf & Birria Taco which was just ok. The flavor was kinda bland - the beef was dry and the shrimp was not spicy at all. This taco definitely needed hot sauce. Overall, this place is overpriced for what it is but it's at The Del with an amazing location so...

Well it's a taco truck on the beach in front of The Del so I should have expected that sort of pricing for a simple taco and drink... but $50 for 2 tacos and 2 drinks? Insane. Food was okay... hubs ordered a spicy shrimp taco which he said had no hint of spice and I had the fish taco which lacked flavor but was okay. Glass of wine and a beer each $17 and $14... insane to me. I will say the location is key. Our kids could play on the beach right in front of us while we sat at a picnic table to eat and drink. The beach was trashed with people's garbage which makes me so angry, but they do try to keep up with cleaning the area around the tables.Would I go back? Probably not. But I do see the appeal given the location and ease of it.

We were staying at the hotel Del Coronado and had planned ahead to get tacos from the taco shack, put our toes in the sand and enjoy the beach atmosphere but when I got there they were closed down for remodeling. No warning at all so they were serving their tacos out of this truck, you'll see in the pictures. I got the fish taco with mahi-mahi in it and it was very lovely and then got a stone IPA. The server in the truck was kind of rude and short with me. No clue why I even tipped him well even after his rudeness. The gal that brought me my taco, which I ate sitting on a cement wall was much nicer than he was. Wish I got his name. Anyway, I cannot wait until they're done remodeling this whole place because it's really special.

Am being generous on the rating because location, location, location. First of all, it's at "The Del", right on the sand. What's not to like about that? Live music was a plus.As far as ordering and food, don't expect to be pleasantly surprised - instead, plan to go with the flow. I stood in line with Sweet Granddaughter while Dear Hubby searched for a table with an umbrella for shade. The menu is tacos or tacos. I picked Barbacoa Beef for DH, and a fish taco for me. Found out that they have kids quesadilla, which wasn't on the menu.Though families eat here, the bartenders are all about making alcoholic drinks; the food is secondary to them. In an unpractical fashion, the drinks are served in plastic cups with no lids, so good luck getting them to your table without spilling. I asked SG to help me carry a cup of water, and much of that ended up sprinkling the ground. I had my hands full with a beer for DH and a virgin pina colada for me.Meanwhile, I also paid for our tacos at the same time, but they tell you to come back in about 10 minutes and they'll have the order ready in the back of the building where the kitchen is, not up front where the bar holds center stage.DH goes to get the order, and gives them my name. They hand him my Lianne order, but it really was for Lucas. Lucas had a similar order to ours, but not the exact order. Thus I paid $50+ for 3 tacos, a beer, and a virgin drink, and didn't even get what I ordered. Awkward.The setting of being on the sand with the bay in the distance, the Del over our shoulders, and live music being played made for a relaxing time. If we go back, I will hover by the kitchen and make sure that I get the correct order!

At Hotel Del near beach chair rentals.We weren't too hungry and appreciated the reasonable cost here. Around $9 per shrimp or fish taco, come with corn tortillas, generous toppings with avocado and slightly spicy chipotle crema and pico de gallo, with slaw. If you rent loungers or above, you can order from beach service. We decided to order directly at the stand so it didn't have time to get cold. Recommended.

I know people have said it before, but the location of the Beach & Taco Shack is fantastic. The ocean, live music, cocktails and taco, what's not to love?! We got the Beef Barbacoa Taco and Surf & Birria Taco and damn they were good. Two of us got the sunset beach and neither of us were fans. The whiskey point and peachy bottom were very tasty. The guys mixing and taking orders were super friendly and very welcoming.

Delicious tacos you can enjoy on the beach! The spicy shrimp taco is my favorite! They have plenty of fun drinks and the tacos take 5 mins to prepare :) the staff is so friendly and quick. It's nice to enjoy during sunset as well with live music on the weekend!

Ordered one of their "drinks for two". It was a pineapple full of cocktail, plus two more cups to refill the pineapple two more times. Three pineapples full of cocktail. It was the weakest drink I've ever had in my life. I didn't even get buzzed, and I'm a light weight. It was $60. The bartender was kind of rude, and couldn't be bothered to put straws into my drinks, like I'm just going to slurp directly from a pineapple. Of course it's popular because it's on the beach, but I'd go somewhere else.
