Taco Del Mar

Food was gross. There were 5 of us all ordered different things. The kids liked the quesadilla but that was only thing good to say. Service was not good — not very friendly and slow. Should have checked out Unilocal before going there.

I usually don’t leave reviews but this was bad.
So the burrito was watery and runny. Not good flavor and the rice was terrible. Also the give a tablespoon of meat. And the service was below average.

Probably the worst taco del mar I’ve ever been to the place looks run down, they aren’t very quick to help you, there food looks like it’s been sitting out for far to long and probably shouldn’t be eaten… overall if I could give a lower rating I would I was not impressed at all…

They advertised a bbq burrito with coleslaw. Thought this was interesting so I decided to give it a try. The sauce was kind of bland and the coleslaw turned out to be plain cabbage, so not coleslaw. If you advertise coleslaw, then serve the product you are advertising. Plain cabbage is not coleslaw. This particular burrito is not something I would recommend. The staff could have been more helpful as well.

The super platter burrito is great! Customer service at this location hasn’t been so good though, I hope it improves.

This review is on the customer service. I walked inside Taco del Mar around 10:30am, mind you they open at 10:00am. The lady at the cashier had one earphone on and was hitting buttons on the register (no big deal). But she just looked up, then went back to what she was doing. I ask «oh, are you guys open?», no response. I stand there for two mins without any words being exchanged. Finally decided to walk out-​no «hold on» or «bye» from her; just silence. Very rude! And I was the only person there.

I ordered a platter with an enchilada and a taco I asked for the enchiladas to be pork and the taco to be chicken but she put the chicken meat in the enchilada assess I’m making this the enchilada she spent the entire time on her phone talking to somebody and didn’t even put real toppings on my taco

This is the worst place I have ever been to! It doesn’t even deserve any stars! The people where very rude and acted like they didn’t even want to help me and my children! Then for the amount of money that we spent they were trying to be very stingy with the food! Not impressed with this place and will not ever be returning!

First time we have ever had a bad quesadilla. It was soggy and fell apart in your hands when you lifted it. Way over priced for the portions. Bad first impression for this chain.

We like Taco Del Mar a lot. It’s a great option for fast, reasonably nutritious food when we are running out and about and in a rush to feed the family. That said, this particular location is a disappointment. When we moved to the area 5 year ago, we were happy to see this store in a convenient location to where we often run errands. We were disappointed in the service and inconsistency in portion sizes. Like other reviewers stated, we also feel ignored or just down right like we pose some inconvenience to the main woman who works in here. There is an older woman who has been there since the first time we ever went. Yesterday, we decided to give it anther chance, and we walked into an empty store front (no employees, no customers). It took a minute for the gal to come out from the back, and we were disappointed to see that it was that same, grumpy lady. Sure enough, she didn’t say a friendly word or smile once– portion sizes smaller than any of the other TDM we’ve been to. Such a shame.

From the moment I walked in, I was ignored and I felt like I was bothering the girl behind the counter :) I order and get home and the food is very bland. The rice was mushy as well. I like others, wonder how this place is still in business. In this day and age you should be thankful for a job, and if not don’t work in fast food. Just a tip!

I’d give zero stars if I could. This place was just plain awful. I ordered a taco salad which had absolutely no flavor! It all tasted the same the beans were too watery and bland My husband ordered a burrito which he said was also bland. He also got sick shortly after eating it. The women who worked there looked like she did not want to help us and didn’t say a single word the whole time she was preparing our food. Will not be going here ever again.

I go for the rice because it is predictable, and takes too long for me to make at home. Appears as if they go through a lot of staff, which tells me a LOT right away. Food varies in portion and flavor so I always get it to-​go and spice it at home. Seems like they have a Tuesday 2-​fer special, so that might be worth a try.

I love TDM. This one, however, waters down the flavors. Literally, they pour coffee pots of water into the beans. Then, they offer you a half serving of beans and just a little more rice. The tacos are good, but again, lacking a little flavor. I asked for extra habanero sauce and got jalapenos. Maybe you should learn the lingo of what you are selling? Also, offer bigger portions and retain the flavors — don’t water them down. I won’t try this location again, I’m dissappointed every time. One more thing, the radio was on scan the whole time I was there. How did the staff not notice???

TDM done well. The service is always quick, you know exactly what you’re getting and while both times it’s seemed like the staff didn’t speak much English, it was just fine for ordering food — and I did get to practice my rusty Spanish once which was a nice surprise.

I like the burritos and baja bowls, but there is one lady there that has a hard time understanding English. I asked her for a burrito and once I got to the toppings she said she couldn’t put any on… She thought I ordered a quesadilla… o_​O and was mad when I corrected her.

It was my first time going to Taco del Mar. I was far from impressed. I waited about 10 minutes before even being acknowledged by staff. I was about to leave when someone came out to help me. I selected my food items and took my burrito home. It was mushy and the favors were very bland. I won’t be going back.

I tried the super meat nachos. It really was super to my surprise. Not bad at all. So good food.

I love TDM!
The Good:
Location
Friendly staff
Awesome décor
The bad:
I didn’t like that the end of the buffet is covered.
I felt they were a little stingy with the chips and queso.
Will def be back,

Taco del Mar just makes me mad. Number one reason being that I love fish tacos, so when I see a place called «Taco del Mar» I get super excited for what I expect for them to specialize in: fish tacos.
The place is barely seafood related. They offer one fish taco and they don’t even hide that it comes from a bag filled with frozen pre-​fried fish pieces. They take out a few and pop it in their microwave/​oven and reheat it.
It’s really bad.
I saw a banner outside saying something about a new shrimp taco, but I just can’t bring myself to try it.
I don’t think people come here for the fish tacos. Everyone around me had meat burritos of some kind. Maybe those are decent, maybe not, but the incongruent establishment name to actual menu factor is misleading.
