Surf Shack Coastal Kitchen is my new favorite Taco Thursday spot! Surf Shack is located in a Plaza next to Mothers Restaurant, Kang's Garden, Froyo Fresh, and is behind McDonald's in the Westchase Area of Tampa off Linebaugh and Countryway. Surf Shack Coastal Kitchen features a laid back surfer vibe with surf boards hanging from the ceiling, chill surfer style island music, and aquatic wild life etched on their wooden tables. The covered patio features lights that look like stars in the sky! There's tons of tvs by the bar and a big screen TV for watching hockey games or football games! Surf Shack Coastal Kitchen goes beyond boring tacos with the bare minimum of ingredients to satisfy the basic taco special and features marinades and toppings like I've never seen before! Surf Shack's Taco Thursday special includes west coast chicken, bacon cheeseburger, Jerk Chicken, Buffalo chicken tacos for $2, tiger shrimp, bangin shrimp, longboard fish, filet mignon tacos for $2.50, chimichurri steak, Surf n turf, tuna poke, and blackened grouper tacos for $3. The Jerk Chicken Taco came with tangy jerk sauce, sweet plantains, cilantro, lime, & aioli. The tangy jerk sauce had a great flavor with a little kick which was not too spicy and just right. 9/10 The Filet Mignon Taco came with marinated steak, garlic tomato salsa, pepper Jack cheese, and haystack onions. The garlic tomato salsa and balsamic marinade is not for everyone but I like it. This steak taco had a flavor unlike any other steak taco I've ever tried! 10/10 The buffalo chicken taco came with crispy fried chicken breast tossed in buffalo sauce, with lettuce, pico,& blue cheese dressing. The buffalo sauce had a bit too much vinegar for my taste but otherwise it was good. 7/10 The bangin shrimp taco came with crispy shrimp, bangin sauce, lettuce, tomato, and avocados. The Shrimp had an awesome flavor similar to but a bit spicier than the famous bang bang shrimp at bone fish! 10/10 Our waitress was quick and friendly. I look forward to trying more taco options on my next visits! If you're in the Westchase Area and craving some awesome tacos with a surfer vibe, definitely check out Surf Shack Coastal Kitchen!
