Taco Del Mar

Oh my gosh, this spot was like an oasis in a desert. We were on our way back from Mt Rainier to…read moreSeattle and were desperate for a burger. On our map showed up Out and About with amazing reveiws. What we did not realize was that it is in a U-Haul parking lot. This makes it a little bit of a tight squeeze if there is a long line but the staff here work fast to get your food out quickly to you. In total, it took less than 10 minutes from when we turned in and ordered to when we were leaving with our food. The burgers here are delicious - as many have compared, I would say they are akin to an In and Out burger, which is one of my favorite burgers. If I went back, I would bypass the fries. I like mine crispy and these were a bit limp. That's okay though because, again, the burger is amazing. Definitely worth a stop in. And in my opinion, the perfect stop if you're hungry and heading back to Seattle from a hike at Mt. Rainier.

First off, I'd just like to say that the location is kind of a nightmare. The drive-thru setup is…read morepretty confusing. It's a really tiny little trailer, so I understand they're working with limited space, but having cars loop around in what feels like a figure-eight can be chaotic. People get impatient, start honking, and it's easy to accidentally cut someone off without realizing it. They're just burgers, people--everyone needs to relax a little! That said, despite how busy it was, the line moved surprisingly fast. I ordered a double cheeseburger with everything, a side of onion rings, and a black raspberry shake. The shake was fantastic--definitely a highlight of the meal. The burger was also really good: flavorful, fresh, and exactly what I was hoping for. The only disappointment was the onion rings. They were incredibly greasy--so much so that they actually upset my stomach. I'm not sure if that's typical, but I probably wouldn't order them again. Next time I'd give the fries a try instead. One thing that really stood out was the pricing. It's refreshing to find a place that still offers fair prices when it feels like everything else costs an arm and a leg these days. Overall, I'd definitely come back. The burger and shake were worth it, and as long as I skip the onion rings, I think it'll be a solid meal.

There was a time when this location struggled, but you can clearly see the effort they've been putting in to turn things around. The changes over the past few months have been noticeable, and it's all thanks to the new managers and staff who are working hard to make the experience better for everyone. The new team at the front is incredibly understanding, patient, and genuinely great listeners. They treat customers with respect and make you feel heard, which wasn't always the case before. You can tell they care about doing their jobs well and creating a better environment. And the kitchen staff deserves a huge shoutout too. They are seriously some of the hardest workers in the building. They keep things moving, handle the pressure, and still manage to get orders out quickly and correctly. Their effort does not go unnoticed -- customers really do appreciate them. The managers are also trying their best, and it shows. They're more involved, more supportive, and clearly committed to improving the store. You can feel the difference in the atmosphere, the service, and the overall experience. This location has come a long way, and it's becoming a place people actually enjoy coming back to. Big thanks to the whole team for the work they're putting in. The food has also been consistently good lately. Everything comes out hot, fresh, and made with care, which really shows how much effort the kitchen team is putting in. You can tell they're working hard behind the scenes to keep orders moving and make sure customers get quality meals. Their work makes a huge difference, and it's truly appreciated.

Decided to give this one a second chance as the first time was meh. We pulled in, there was no one in the drive through and one other car in a stall. That's it. So we push the button. Nothing happens. We wait, 3min still waiting. So I push the button again. Still waiting and now we are at 7min. So I hit the button again and I hear "I heard you the first time stop pushing the button". Not what I expected to hear as always it's "Welcome to Sonic how can I help you". So we order. Remember only 2 cars in the whole place and they left after we ordered. It was a normal 3 burgers, tots, chicken strip things, 4 drinks. Simple but I guess I when you are not too busy a single order can really mess up your day. We waited, and waited and after 15min. I again hit the button. "What!" Was what I heard. And when I asked if there was any chance of getting our food soon I got dead silence. About 5min. later out comes the runner. They hand us the drinks and bags of food and spin and take off. Not "do you need anything else etc..." just gone. We check the food, it was missing 2 tots and the burgers were stone cold. Kinda hard to believe because it took so long I would have thought they had butchered the cow and made fresh burger patties and cooked them on the spot. NOPE! These looked like a day old hockey puck. Slathered in what ever they put on to hide the fact these were not fresh cooked. I again hit the button (I guess I have a death wish), I got "Now what?" I said the food is cold and we are missing 2 tots. The response I got was amazing "Everything was in the bags when we sent it out, it was all hot and fresh", so I asked can you please refire the order and bring out fresh please? That's where I guess I was asking way too much and they said "It was all there hot and fresh and they were not going to do that because they know we are trying to get free food" Let me tell you, if you know anything about Sonic, they will remake the order and you give them back the bad food. Good policy to avoid getting scammed. Needless to say I dumped all the food in the trash and we headed down the street to eat and another place with better service and food. I will not and would not recommend this location as there are far better Sonic's around.

My family and I came in Sunday evening for dinner. While dining we happened to over hear a very loud argument behind the counter. I find this very unprofessional for that manager to be yelling at her employee so loud as to disturb the paying customers in the restaurant. There is a time and place for these types of discussions but when you have a dining room full of customers it is not the right time or place. If this is a sign of how the restaurant is ran this is the last time we will be setting foot in your establishment. read more

My wife and I go to this Taco Del Mar a few times a week. The employees are fantastic, they make amazing food, the restaurant is always spotless, and the manager actually takes the time to come out and greet customers and make sure everything is perfect (which it always is!) If you have not tried the Fish tacos you are missing out it might sound weird at first but most people are pleasantly surprised when they actually try them! read more

While I waited he got me my drink cup, they didn't have the drink I ordered so I ended up just getting a coke and he gave me a few samples to try which was really nice. I got to sample the guacamole, potatoes in a queso sauce and their banana pudding. The banana pudding was delicious and the guacamole was also good. I didn't really care much for the potatoes in queso. I got my order after that and the cashier apologized for the delay. The tacos weren't anything special sadly. I had one with chicken, one with potatoes and one with "spicy barbacoa". All of them were pretty bland. The spicy barbacoa was especially disappointing as it didn't have any kick to it and that's even with sliced jalepenos on the taco! This is not a place I would frequent or recommend. Taco Del Mar wasn't anything amazing either but it was definitely better quality food than this place. 2 stars for the good customer service/samples.
