Fins

Not a must if you are in town for a short stay. The tacos were less than mediocre, with the chicken dry and the cheese barely edible. The rice was so bland and the cheap lettuce was clearly not coming from a high quality place. My tacos were over stuffed — could barely pick one up for the first time without half the taco falling out. Even the sour cream and guacamole tasted like it had been sitting in a fridge for days. Do not recommend !!!

Excellent mexican/​coastal food… We ate here the other night and I ordered the chicken enchiladas which came with a tasty red sauce on top and a side of beans and yellow rice. I also ordered a side of chips and salsa. Everything was excellent and tasty and will go back again…

This place is ok, but it ain’t surf taco.
Fish tacos were good, especially the one with Hawaiian teriyaki and Cole slaw. Seaweed salad one was meh. Chicken tacos were ok. Nachos were just ok, not melted enough.
Homemade salsa was good, but it only came in mild and hot.
Guacamole was good.
All in all an ok 3 star experience.

The food is always good, chocolate chip cookie is amazing but the only downfall is that they take quite a bit of time to prepare the food so I always order before I go and it’s ready when I get there.

The short.
Possible Best fish tacos I’ve had in jersey.
This fish is fresh and the batter is proper.
The nachos with fresh salsa are so dank.
Did I mention fresh ?
I’ve experimented with the rest of the menu but do yourself a favor…
Get that fish tacos.
These aren’t the best fish tacos I’ve ever had in my life. But definitely top 3.
I recommend this place to everyone.
They are budget friendly too.
The vibe and décor is super dope. They have outside seating.
I can’t find anything to complain about.

Maybe I ordered the wrong thing but this place didn’t live up to the hype for me. It’s a fusion type restaurant, but with all the fusing I guess they forgot to fuse some spices together because the food was bland. Everyone raves about the coconut sesame shrimp taco but to me, it wasn’t anything spectacular.
The service was great though. Here you order your food at the counter when you come in and you go sit where you want and your food will be brought to you. I will go back and give this place another chance and try something new.

In all fairness, I’ve only had takeout from Fins. My experience has been so-​so. However both times I ordered their sweet plantains and they are the best I’ve ever had.
I wrote the above back in August. Since then I’ve ordered from them twice and the food was delicious.

Man I wish we had one of these here in Central PA.
Visiting the New Jersey beaches in winter got us craving something tropical in our tummies so we ventured here.
Boneless Jamaican Jerk wings — Amazing! Different than boneless wings at your chain places like BWW, Aroogas, etc. but in a good way.
The smoothies looked amazing and were pretty popular among the other folks there, but we didn’t try one. Too full.
Got the «Natty Dread» burrito with Jamaican Jerk chicken, sweet plantains, avocado, jack cheese, rice beans and coconut drizzle. Was amazing mixture of Island flavors. I just need a Pina Colado and about 50 degrees warmer.
Staff was very friendly, pointed us in the direction of local beaches. The interior decoration is a little old and could use updated but like others said a very laid back «chill» atmosphere. Fish tank bonus!
My only regret is not trying everything on the menu. You get a lot of food for about $ 10-​$ 12.
I will 1000% be back here when I’m back in Jersey.

I had the local plate. Best fried fish (cod) I have ever had. Very light tasting. Great food all around. Very friendly and uplifting atmosphere on a cold winter day.

Love The Jackoo salad! My husband and kids love Hawaii 5 ‘o’s
Best guacamole and chips ever! Cool vibe!!!
Staff helpful and smiling!!! A great place to come into from winter cold for warmth !!!

Have always heard about how good surf taco was and aftee being to surf taco a couple times it under delivered… I then tried finns and it hit the spot. Portions are huge, the flavors really pop and service is quality. Come here over both 10^th ave burrito and surf taco! You will thank me later.

This is similar to a Qdoba but more fun, feels like a surf tiki hut. Their guacamole and salsa are delicious, I know why mention these two things first, they were my favorite part of the meal. The guacamole is fresh with large chunks of avocado and the salsa taste like it has cilantro and lime juice in it so its refreshing and not boring. I took home my leftover salsa in search of more chips to dip and finish it. They have fun combination of tacos and burritos. We had the wings with honey sriracha sauce, East West Fish taco, Tiki taco, Natty Dread burrito. Honey sriracha wings tasted like more honey than sriracha so it was on the sweeter side but the wings aren’t breaded which is nice. East West Fish taco, the fish in it is good, the texture is the flaky chunks of fish that melts in your mouth but I wasn’t too excited about the wasabi cucumber slaw which was the original reason I ordered it. The cucumber slaw tastes like coleslaw with a scent of wasabi, the hawaiian bbq sauce taste like sweeter terrayaki, a little too sweet for me but the fish was good, I also wished I could get it in a crunchy taco but I didn’t ask if they offered that. The Natty Dread burrito is big, the rice and beans overpowers the jerk chicken so you taste mostly rice and beans which is a shame because the jerk chicken is good, however very filling so if you’re hungry go for a burrito. The menu was so appetizing, we ended up ordering too much food for three people and had to take some of it for breakfast the next day. Although I’m not a fan of food being on the sweeter side, everything was pretty good here. But you have to try the salsa which comes with the tacos and burritos and definitely order the guacamole.

Delicious smoothies… love that you can build your own.
I love the chips and guac. The coconut shrimp taco is the bomb. A great vibe.

Somewhere in Jamaica is where I wanna be and the same named Wrap is what I like to eat. The Jamaican wings are great as well.

Was looking for a place to eat after a day of fishing with the kids and for them on Unilocal.The reviews were correct. The food was fresh and tasted great! Especially the fish tacos. Definitely will be back again.

I ordered the tropical fantasy smoothie and the burrito with cod and coconut cream. Nice!!! Decoration and music are a plus!

Food was very good. Well the Congo chips and the fish and chips appetizers were good. We got the Kalui pork and it was okay. They put it on top of fried rice which I thought over powered the pork flavor. I wished they put it on white rice instead. We also got the ohau wrap which tasted really fresh. Definitely go back to try other things. I was too full to try a shake. Maybe next time.

After reading all the other reviews I decided to go with the Coconut sesame shrimp taco!!! Wow. This taco is insanely awesome.
This is place is great. Very casual and laid-​back.

Just want to give a shout-​out to Fins on Main St. in Bradley Beach.
My partner and I spend a week in Bradley Beach every August and Fins is our go-​to place
for lunch every day. Really. Every single day!
The food is always fresh and delicious and the staff is great. Always friendly, super nice and helpful. And the service is great. We ordered beach delivery a couple of times and even on busy days we never waited too long. And our deliveries were always correct — never any problem.
Thank you Fins for doing what you do so well! See ya next year!

After a long day and looking for an open place to grab a quick bite to eat, we went here. Even though we walked in a few minutes before closing, the girl taking our order was very pleasant and patient. For a first time visitor, the menu had quite a bit to read.
I ended up ordering a special: Rasta Taco. It was absolutely delicious!!! Jerk pork, plantains, mango. So good! My husband ordered a combo of a chicken and a steak taco with a side of rice and beans and said he will definitely come back.
Although it is counter service, the same person who took our order delivered our food to our table, stopped and asked if all was ok, and helped with clean up. I wish I knew her name to mention it here. (worked closing July 14, glasses)

Came to Fins on a rainy 4^th of July! The restaurant was still packed inside and outdoors so I knew it was going to be tasty. The guacamole and salsa is VERY fresh. I highly recommend getting both. I have the coconut shrimp taco which was a little more on the fried side then I would have wanted. The crab tacos are better I recommend getting those instead. If I find myself in Bradley Beach again, I would go back!

This place has really unique flavors fused into their foods. Price definitely fits the quantity and quality of food you will get here — plan on spending around $ 10 dollars for either two fairly sized tacos and chips, a burrito and chips, or other tasty foods on their menu.
My main qualm about this place is that most of their food ends up leaving a sweet taste in your mouth rather than a savory taste. Without a savory tasting component which many love, it can leave an unsatisfying feeling/​taste at the end of the meal. If they somehow fused more of a savory vs. sweet taste into their food, I would end up giving this place a 5 star.
recommendations: fish and chips (sweet), Sunshine Key smoothie, and any of their tacos!

Terrific seafood tacos with delicious chips and salsa. A bit pricier than others, but great quality food. A good place for a fast meal before going next door to the Beach Cinema.

The food is really good here and they give you huge servings of quesadillas. I got the hawaiian five o and it was really good i also got to add some avocado in it so it made it even better, really love going here i find it better than surf taco.

I had the fly’n Hawaiian burrito and tropical fantasy smoothie. Both pretty good, nothing over the top. Girlfriend had the crab tacos and they were about the same.
The service was not explained at all, we walked in and asked to sit outside. The girl at the counter said sure and handed us a menu. So we sat for a few minutes deciding what to order, but no one ever came out. This wouldn’t have been a problem if it was explained that there was no table service from the get go.
Overall, just a subpar experience, mediocre food and the lack of table service made it just feel like a fast food joint.

Fins is such a chill place to come. In the winter, it’s less than half full most nights but the food is still top notch. The island fusion makes your favorite traditional Mexican dishes have a unique flavor. My recommendation: make sure to get the Mayan Lava Sticks (queso breaded in tortilla strip with spice dip) and try one of the coconut sesame shrimp tacos. Yum!

I still love surf taco but I have space in my heart for fins. Took advice from my fellow Unilocalers and tried the cabo taco and the coconut sesame shrimp taco. Both were amazing! The cabo is delicately fried fish with a spicy mayo topping over typical taco toppings. The fish is the real deal though. The fish is just perfectly fried and just a touch soggy (in a good flavor imparting way) from the toppings. The shrimp taco is also fried beautifully but here the star is the passion wasabi sauce. It’s actually not so much wasabi as it is ginger, but it’s tasty and unique for tacos! And hours great with the chips too :) glad to have found another taco stand!

We LOVE this place! It’s the best place to unwind after a long day in the surf and sun. We’ve been coming here for years and the customer service never fails to amaze us!
Recommendations: coconut shrimp taco and dirty monkey juice :)
