Food ok not a lot of option and ingredients are often in small portion. The service is quick and efficience. Place not very clean the lady was wipping the area and that wipe was touching the food. Gave me the ick. I will not come back for sure. read more

We stopped by in here as a last resort because we were hungry and nothing else was open. It was ok overall. It was like a Taco Bell or Del taco. Very Americanized "Mexican" tacos & burritos. My husband and I both had a burrito. They were good and satisfied our hunger. They're pretty big in size. Service was good, ambiance was super mellow since we were the only customers there at the moment. read more

Wasn't terrible but I can't say I loved it. The service was great, awesome staff and the establishment was clean and the ambiance was cool had that beach vibe. Although it wasn't bad I can't say I'll be back. Decent prices though! read more

I came here on Sunday. I was hungry and I signed up for the app when you first sign up, you get five dollars off more than $10. I was like cool and they had daily specials which is a burrito meal for like $11 which wasn't bad at all and so I got ground beef burrito with rice beans, cheese, and pico and a side of salsa and then I got some chips and queso plus a drink, the cashier. She provided amazing customer service and I dined in. The food was OK. It wasn't the best and the chips tasted really funky and I threw them away because they tasted nasty and they smelled funny to me and the burrito wasn't that good either so I would not be coming back over here but again it was not what I wanted at all read more

I really like TexMex and Mexican, in general. So TDM is something I'll try. I don't have high expectations when it comes to chain stores. This store is fine but nothing to rave over. If your in the mood for a fast meal, this hits the spot. The food is decent and the service is efficient without too much fanfare. I'd come back if I was hungry. The price is right if you know what to order. I happen to have a Groupon. So it was a no-brainer. read more

Taco Del Mar - DOS Tacos carnitas - Fast Food Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

I was surprised at how much I like this place. It had average review and so I wasn't expecting much but it was pretty good. They have daily specials here and we came on Wednesday which was the wet burrito. It's chipotle style so you choose the protein, toppings and base. We opt for the fish as the protein and chose to add all the toppings/fillings. Once we were done, they added a bunch of cheese and then sauce and then more cheese. After, it was warmed up to melt the cheese. The final product was probably 1-2 lb and fed 2 people. It was delicious! The people there are also really nice. I definitely would be back read more

Delicious enchilada platter! Protein, rice, beans, cheese, amazing red enchilada sauce. Beans, rice, guacamole, etc. It's so delicious. Friendly fast service, too. read more

We stop in several times a month for a quick meal. The service is great, and the food is fresh. We have food allergies in our household, and the staff have always been careful when making my salad bowl or tacos, and I have never reacted here! If you're vegan, you can check out the website and look up all the vegan options (of which there's a decent amount). The staff are always friendly, and they don't ever skimp on the ingredients you ask for, nor do they give you attitude when you ask for more. read more

On 6/11/24 I purchased a Mondo Chicken Burrito from the downtown Kirkland Taco Del Mar. I cut it in half and bit into the first half. I bit into what I believe is a chicken bone. I immediately contacted Customer Service. Two days later I bit into the second half of my burrito and again bit into a second foreign object. I contacted Customer Service immediately upon both occasions. I have YET to hear back from the company. Beware. read more

Unfortunately had a similar experience to a lot of these reviews and was somewhat disappointed by this Taco del Mar location. Burrito but felt like it was pretty under filled and the steak didn't taste all that. Great for the price. The nearby Mexican food truck is much better than this spot, but I might come back and try there crispy fish since that's what they are known for. read more

A very reliable Taco Del Mar. One of the locations I still visit because it is consistently good.

It's been a while since we've been here. It's really champ. The food was very bland. No seasoning on the meat or veggies in my salad. The salsa was good but there was definitely a lack of flavor. My husband had a burrito and said the same thing. Overall, we were disappointed. read more

Surprisingly enough.... This was my first time trying Taco Del Mar EVER. And I can say I don't really get the hype or anybody who really, really likes it. First and foremost... The lobby was full of a bunch of middle schoolers on their phones and refilling their cups, being loud and such. Employees weren't much older so they didn't mind and kind of let the kids carry on without purchasing. (I literally can't believe I just typed out that paragraph, does this officially make me old?) Anyways, I digress. I went simple and went with a burrito bowl. The bowls have rice, and I went with pinto beans, steak, guac, and kept the sour cream and pico de gallo, plus extra cheese. The bowl was okay. Chipotle is definitely a whole other level of flavor. The guac had definitely been sitting out for a while and had that overripe taste. Kind of just meh for me. I'll stick to Chipotle! read more

Meat was fatty, rice was old crispy, not fresh, food did not taste good overall as it usually does.

My kids enjoy this place. Meat is tasty. Service usually efficient. Sometimes out of toppings, especially veggies. They offer Groupons. But inexplicably they only allow redemption from a customer's phone, even though Groupon tells customers it's fine to print out a voucher. So I bought a Groupon and couldn't use it. Inquiry via tacodelmar.com didn't work to inquire about this problem -- no one replied to help me. Store manager, if you're reading this, please contact me! read more

Service here is pretty bad, the food tastes as good as any other TDM, but be warned the service here is subpar.

Great value, good tasting food, quick, nice staff. Its on par with the food trucks around, just for under ten dollars , it's a better deal than most, maybe because it is a chain ? ? Kids love this place. Usually not crowded at all inside. read more

My kids like this better than Chipotle. Great food& atmosphere. The burritos are absolutely loaded!

Worst service and price of food ever!! I ordered a chicken taco salad with no beans. Hardly any chicken at all! I ordered beans chicken and guac for my toddler because of his food restrictions. He had more chicken on his little bowl that I was charged more for them my salad. So very disappointing! read more

Taco Del Mar - Where's the protein? - Fast Food Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

It was a sad, sad day for me when BOTH of our local (Bellingham) Taco Del Mar locations closed their doors. I went through fish burrito withdrawals for a least a year, and found myself seeking out their other locations when we were on trips elsewhere. So imagine how happy I was to find they had a location very near a recent visit I made to the Kirkland area. Being as it was dinnertime, I quickly hurried over there for my signature dinner: an almost-super fish taco with whole beans and a combo of hot *and* medium sauce. O M G Okay I *know* they're a chain but still, they can make a fish burrito like nobody's business! With it's crunchy fish interior and all the fresh veggies on the outside, this baby is a serious contender for best-eat-in-your-car-lunch-EVER. I order it without their (ridiculously overpriced) add-ons of guacamole and sour cream, although it's hard to resist those creamy temptations. If you eat in, they also include a small side of chips (99-cents if you get it to go). But who are we kidding, TDM is designed to eat in the quiet solitude of your car. Don't unwrap or it's in your lap! read more

The beyond meat burrito was tasteless and texture was like eating little rubber balls. Good news: left my wallet there by accident and they found it. Bad news: $100 in cash was gone. Oh well. read more

We ordered a large burrito bowl bar for our company lunch recently and we were very pleased with how good everything was. The delivery was on time, the food was fresh and well prepared. The restaurant even went above and beyond by providing extra plates, napkins, utensils as well as chafing dishes to keep hot foods hot. Thank you so much for the wonderful service! We will definitely be ordering again! read more

Incredibly nice folks here. I had the two fish taco special and it was really good. Being a transplant to Seattle from San Diego I have experienced "the real deal" in Mexican food and Taco Del Mar gets pretty darn close to what I was used to. Definitely will be back. :) read more

Wow - Unbeknownst to me I entered right after they closed. Lights on, door unlocked, and no indication they were not open for business. The guy tells me they are closed, so I ask then if it's OK if I just use the bathroom. He says, "The bathroom is for customers". I said - yes, I am a customer. He says, "but we're closed - go to Safeway." Nice. Closed or not - I was a customer the moment I entered with intent to purchase. More importantly I had been a customer many times before. Unless I receive an apology from the manager or owner of this location AND am assured that his people will be trained that it's OK to make an exception when basic human decency warrants it, I will NEVER be a customer of any Taco Del Mar ever again. Yes they have a posted sign on the door "Bathroom for customers only" so obviously they have a problem with folks just using their bathroom. I get that. Howver, if a legit customer walks in because you failed to lock to door and flip the Closed sign, do you really have to lose my future business because you refuse to do me this one kindness? read more

I have been there few times, nothing special, the food tastes OK . I rather eat at Taco Bell instead.

We purposely will drive to Kirkland to get out fix on! We lost two locations in Redmond but are thankful this one is left! Great quality of food, quick service and everything always tastes awesome! We live the cheap burrito and will always make the trip here. The staff is friendly and kind and quick. All things are make this a five star review. read more

This is the ONLY Taco Del Mar I go to anymore (and the only fast food restaurant for that matter), because no other compares. If you want your fish just from the oven, they'll start new ones for you. But if you're in too big a hurry, you never find the already-prepared ones soggy and lukewarm like elsewhere. The staff is insanely accommodating and friendly. read more

Taco del Mar ain't da best, although it isn't THAT bad. This one, which is in a great location (close to the water), is one of the nicer TDMs I have been to. They were super fast and super friendly though the food was only mediocre at best. I had a pork burrito in a spinach tortilla, and it was huge! The flavor was a bit bland and it was overloaded with rice, but I was still able to stuff half of it t down my gullet for dinner and the other half for breakfast; oddly enough, it tasted better for breakfast (and it was cold!). Next time I get TDM I am going to save it for the next day when it will taste better-- it is weird to me when food taste better when it ISN'T fresh! Funny note: their tip jar read , "HELP SUPPORT OUR MENTAL THERAPY" read more

Small bean and cheese burrito for $2.50 is the perfect price point for a quick and easy meal. There isn't a better option for the area when you're on a budget. read more

OK let me start by saying that I am not vegan or vegetarian. I am here at Kirkland's Taco Del Mar and ordered a burrito bowl with their new "beyond meat" meat. The staff here is great as is my choice for my lunch. I love red meat but know I cannot eat it all the time so next time I'm in the mood for some great Mexican fast casual dining I'll be back here. It's delicious and a healthier choice. Do yourselves a favor meat lovers. Give the burrito bowl a try with their beyond meat...meat? I can't tell the difference. read more

This is my go to Taco Del Mar, parking is plentiful, they have a secret back entrance... also, very fresh ingredients, plenty of seating... this place has improved immensely. There a gentleman there that really gets it, and he makes me laugh every time I go. So shout out to him for being the best, friendliest manager type guy. Thanks for like... making me great burritos every time I come by. read more

Their fish tacos are delicious! There hasn't been a time when they used anything stale - it has all been fresh, hot, and made the way you want it made. You just ask for how you like it - a little bit of this, a little of that, lots of your hottest salsa - and they make it for you just like you want it. Food: Good Service: Good Taco Del Mar in Kirkland: Great! --- And wow! They keep this place clean! I've never seen a single person just standing around. When things get slow, they keep busy. I don't usually tip fast food places (including SB), but I do here. Show some love. read more

*Sigh* I love taco del mar. In particular, I love the dt Kirkland TDM. Buddy and I come here about once a week and (embarrassingly) order the same thing each time. I think the staff is on to us... They're always friendly and give us good, quick service. They're troopers to work so hard when it's sweltering in the summer! The food here is always fresh and high quality. Nothing but accolades. The friendly owner is usually around during the day, too. And hey, they have beer now! :D read more

Came in, two women up front in Taco Del Mar t-shirts. One woman, was on a cell phone chatting away, the other one wandered away to the back -- all the while I'm up front looking to order. Sigh. Finally the one that wondered away comes back. The one on the cell still chatting away like a middle-aged teenager. Ordered the "taco salad" (otherwise known as a tostada). I appreciated the baked tortilla shell rather than typical fried one, but that salad was just depressing. They didn't have shrimp as other yelpers had said so went with chicken. Flavors were blah, not even the dose of cilantro and salsa could save this. Bottom line, this is like a rip off Chipotle, but just not good. read more

Sad to say my taco salad was gross. It was so watery (i think the lettuce was really wet and soggy beans mixed) that it all turned to mush. PS the guacamole seems canned, not good... this is my local taqueria now and i am so bummed... read more

Located in Downtown Kirkland by the Marina, this location does not skimp on your toppings. After a horrible experience at the Bellevue Square location, it has been years since my last Taco Del Mar adventure. A great deal on Pirq (mobile app) lead me to return and it was not a bad move! The food was fresh, the service was friendly and the location is great. Parking is available on surrounding streets; however, depending on the time of day and community events could be a problem. Parking is typically available in front of Banner Bank, but is only 30mins... read more

Welllll dang...first few times I tried it was pretty good..the last few times...well...I felt like it was a test on how little food they can give you before you say something...I got two "chicken" tacos with cheese...and...well..3 fingernail sized pieces of chicken...and a very very verrrrrrry light sprinkling of cheese...I asked why so little..she just snarked...when I ate the "Chicken" taco..it tasted like a "Tortilla" Taco because there was almost no meat or cheese...even after complaining about the paltry amount of main ingredients... won't be back! probably explains why at 6pm on a weekday they had one other person..what a rip off read more

After being a fan for years of the Totem Lake location, when it closed we switched to downtown Kirkland. It added a few more miles commute which would not have been a problem if we got the same kind of customer service. Easily 9 out of 10 times, they mess up the order. I don't order sour cream and guac, but It's all over my burrito. When I call to let them know, they somehow think it's my fault. Same with ordering (and paying extra for it!) the wet burrito and getting it dry and wrapped in foil. When I called about that, and my husband making another 8 mile round trip, was told that I had made the mistake. It was on the inside of the burritos???? I checked my receipt, it was ordered properly. Taco Del Mar did not do it right and blamed me. Again - receipt says it all. Horrible, horrible customer service. We won't be giving them any more business. I've been more than generous with my return business (and tipping) and just cannot patronize a place with ZERO customer service and the inability to admit they've made mistakes and try to make it right. read more

Worst fucking burrito I've ever eaten. I ordered a steak burrito and they gave me the leftover fat that was left in the bin. And to top it all off I found a hair in it. DON'T EAT HERE! read more

Not sure why I haven't been here before. I live close by. I keep meaning to go to Bubble Me too; Chinese takeout and crepes together intrigue me. Not necessarily in a good way, not a bad way either. I digress. Service was good and fast and I like that they have a punch card. Love the spinach torillas. Next time I will ask for extra sour cream. Basic food done fast. Nothing wrong with that. I will be back. read more
