FINS - TropiCali Cuisine — Restaurant in Bradley Beach

BRADLEY BEACH: I love that being part of the Yelp Elite squad introduces me to new places and experiences and that a lot of them are dog friendly! The Elite Experience at Fins Bradley Beach was no different and enjoying a complimentary pumpkin pie smoothie was the best way to spend a late October day at the beach. The smoothie was a perfect blend of pumpkin flavor and I ordered mine with coconut milk, since I need to be dairy free. I love that they have that as an option. Even with coconut milk, the smoothie was SO CREAMY and really hit my thirsty mouth and hungry tummy spot. We'll be on the lookout for other seasonal flavors and will enjoy their classics.

Everything is made fresh so they can be very accommodating on any modifications to your order. I am a very picky eater and a self-confessed worst vegan because I dislike many main vegan veggie fillers. Fins' veggie option is not pre-mixed, so if you do not like something, they can easily omit it from your order. It was so easy!

The staff is extremely friendly and I was able to order inside with my dog and then enjoy the pumpkin pie smoothie and mexicali burrito at their outdoor tables, where leashed and friendly dogs are allowed. The storefront is right on Main Street and Brie said hello to every passerby in the area, but it can be a bit noisy due to traffic! We appreciate the staff bringing out a cup of water for her too!

The restaurant has a great atmosphere with bright colors, island-style music, and they serve up surf-inspired food in a casual environment, all while being wallet-friendly. Burritos, tacos, salads, wraps, a special gluten-free menu, smoothies, and they even offer catering! They use the freshest and finest ingredients and care about the planet with biodegradable products, and also care about the community through donations.

During the 30 minutes spending time here, the amount of customers walking-in blew my mind. This place is popular and for good reason! We plan to visit their other locations in Point Pleasant...

Not great, average at best. Go elsewhere. Update got a response form the owner for a lack of details, in my opinion 3 stars was spot on, so let me break it down for ya'll: The food is good, nothing special but an ok food place for something different than what you would usually get. Nothing is particularly flavorful, all of which are pretty mild or underwhelming. BUT it's unique, so if you want island food, this is the place to go - nothing else like this is around except for Surf Taco (don't ever go there tho). I am still mad that one day I asked for a bean burrito with no cheese back in like 2010 and they seriously gave me a tortilla filled with just black beans and it was like $5 bucks. Totally felt like I was ripped off, but I didn't see the menu, so I guess it's my fault. Whatever, I'm still salty. UP YOUR BEAN BURRITO GAME: RICE, VEGGIES , TOMATOES, HOT PEPPERS .

Part 2: The smoothies are a great price, they are among the better smoothies you can get in the area. If you ask me this place is a better smoothies joint than a restaurant. I'd give it 4 or 5 stars if it was just a smoothie place. Overall opinion: nothing special, keep it moving- unless you want a smoothie. Best smoothie place...

I’ve said it many many times. If you’re looking for great Mexican food, this is the place to go. Believe it or not it’s their first location ever. Fins has always been my go to and it’s soooooo much better than Surf Taco and Bubbakoos combined. If someone has ever recommended this place to you, listen to them cause they’re not lying. Everything on the menu is amazing and worth it. If you are on their Aloha list you get 10% off your meal and that’s a score. Their burritos are amazing, I definitely recommend their Mexicali Blues. I will also say that their wings are amazing, try them you won’t regret it. And the smoothies are great, I get the Peanut Butter Cup and it’s to die for. I’ve been to all of their locations and I’m a huge fan of their food. Please stop at this place. You get awesome staff, fast service and amazing food. It’s certainly worth it. I’m making more trips to them and I’m giving them more business! Never have I had an amazing experience like I’ve had at Fins!! So many trips and each of them...
