I hate to do this, but the last several times I’ve visited this Taco Del Mar, it seems that the food has gone downhill. It’s in our neighborhood, but if we are having a craving for Taco Del Mar, we head up to Northgate to the Taco Del Mar up there, where the food is consistently really good. I’m writing this review so that the owners might take notice, and make some changes to how they’re preparing their food. Go up to the Northgate Taco Del Mar and take notes! We would come back if the food was better. It’s not like the food is terrible, but it’s just not nearly as good as it used to be.

I love TDM, and to me, it is comfort food. The size of their Mondo Burrito is just right — not too small, and not so big, that you have a hard time eating it and it spills all over the place. I «peel as I eat», and have no problem. Yes, it is fast food, but it hits the spot for me. The employee is friendly and makes you feel welcome. There isn’t a lot of seating, but it is enough. It is always clean — floors, counters, tables, etc. Parking: I take the bus, so don’t have to think about it. There is a parking lot on the upper level above this business, and I think customers of TDM are welcome to use it free. Or else park on the street.

Really great consistent burritos. Friendly service. The fish was fresh and well prepared.

I prefer Qudoba or Chipotle over TDM. This location is convenient but there is no parking except for on the street. The prices are pretty high for the quality of food and the employees seem to work very fast and sometimes sloppy(I understand rush hour but still) The meats seem flavorless and the ingredients are not be freshest nor best quality. Bottom line I only come here when I don’t have other options.

It would be disingenuous to give this place any less than 3 stars because I eat here at least once a week. This is decent but not amazing fast food. I usually get a fish taco or a fish burrito. Things in its favor: 1) Fast, 2) Cheap, 3) Kid-friendly, 4) Relatively healthy and 5) Decent ingredients. I actually worked at a TDM about 15years ago, so I can speak to the food quality. It isn’t the Holy Land of Chipotle, but it isn’t the reconstituted hell of Taco Bell either. Things going against this place 1) Hard to find parking, 2) Hit and miss service, 3) Hit and miss quality(soggy rice one day, runny beans another…) and 4) small dining room

The service is quick, the food is what’s to be expected for being a fast food joint. The place sometimes could use a cleaning, but it’s nothing terrible, more of just a touch-up. Good parking on the street or in the upper level of the shopping center.

Sometimes I hate when I’m hungry, because then I eat at places like this. And then I want to punch myself in the face afterwards.

The negative review here dont really make any sense. If you have had Taco Del mar then you know what you are getting. Like one of the other reviewers said. Its fast food Mexican but not nasty like taco bell. What I will tell you is that this place is nice, clean and fast! They happen to make there burritos much larger and more stuffed(and at the same price) than other Taco Del mar’s. Which is why I choose this place above the others. Also. I have never seen a «vegan» sign any where in the place so I don’t know what that negative review was about. I think the lack of protein is messing with her eyesight. Its Taco Del Mar! $ 5 burritos, you cant really argue against its merits. If you factor in the quality to cost ratio you come out ahead.

Love this Taco Del Mar. I’ve been coming here for years. Love the super veggie burrito, although I think they changed the name for it recently. This is my favorite fast food to go.

I love it. I have been coming here ever since I was a freshmen at Roosevelt. The food is good. There used to be espondas that worked there. All family than they quit this year. I always go back to get drinks or whatever I need. I love the people that work there now. I love all the food, expect for one thing, once I tried chipotle 3 years ago I thought I liked their burritos more. Today I had a dinner platter from taco del mar. The red sauce is always hot. It’s a great meal for 6 dollars. It is right next to my school. I visit a lot to get a soft drink in most days. If you want good Mexican Food I do recommend it.

I just finished a taco-eating-contest with myself.(I won) As usual, the fish tacos were excellent. Yeah yeah, it’s fast food and if you’re looking for the best taco of your life, don’t come here. But this is a solid four-star fast food place. And the employees are SO nice. Another customer was clearly a regular, for they new her order exactly. Then, when the guy asked me if I wanted a punch card and I said no, he said it was no big deal. «I’ll remember your face, and the 10th time you come in you can still get $ 5 off» he said. Such a sweetie!(And no, he wasn’t flirting)

I used to love this place when I was in college because you got a day’s worth of food for less than $ 5. But now that I have more than $ 5 in my wallet, I’m not as much a fan. It’s not bad, it just… college food.

I don’t have any problems with this place. They serve good, standard Taco Del Mar items. The staff seems marginally better trained than the staff at the one down the Ave, and it’s nice to sit in the restaurant, nibble chips and tacos, and read the stranger or something. Feels very welcoming.
