Tacos, margaritas & more are served cafeteria-style in a casual, colorful destination.
"With two projectors and 14 televisions, food specials include island-styled nachos and jerk chicken wings, and drink specials include $20 Miller Lite buckets." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Surfside tacks on $5 margaritas with any order on Cinco de Mayo (only at its new Tenleytown location). Splurge on the $99 family-style fajita box, which includes two types of meat, toppings galore, and a 32-ounce bottle of classic or spicy margarita." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Local taco and margarita shop Surfside is celebrating opening day today at a massive new Tenleytown location that serves a wider variety of tropical drinks than ever before." - Tierney Plumb
"The original Surfside will close in Glover Park in December after 12 years. The owner tells Popville he’s opted to not renew his lease for the inaugural location, which was up in January 2020. The fast-casual taco shop’s upcoming Tenleytown location will debut some time in October, staying open around the clock to cater to surrounding American University students." - Tierney Plumb
"The development of Surfside restaurant’s Tenleytown location at American University, slated to open this Spring in the former Ruby Tuesday/Firelake Grill space at 4200 Wisconsin Avenue, is progressing. The restaurant, known for its tacos and burritos, has just applied for its liquor license. The operation will be Surfside’s third D.C. location, after its locations in Westchester and Dupont Circle (the latter of which is open 24 hours)." - Audrey Carleton
