This spot has a huge menu with tons of different items rooted around tacos and burritos. For a quick, easy, lunch while at work, this was a good spot. I had 2 tacos, one chicken and one pork. The pork definitely had more flavor than the chicken and would be my go-to for the next visit. Also, I really enjoyed the medium salsa, it added just enough spice and flavor to the taco without being overwhelming. While it was a busy day at the convention center, the line moved quickly and there was ample seating around the location, read more

A delicious spot to grab tacos, burritos and more. Located in Belltown near Mud Bay, this restaurant has friendly service in a bright open area. The beef tacos in a crunch shell were delicious with fresh toppings and the fish tacos with cabbage and white sauce were amazing. There are a variety of options for everyone. My new go to spot for those taco cravings. read more

Taco Del Mar - Delicious tacos - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

It's a sad day when you have to make a decision not to go to one of your go to lunch spots. If the manager/owner does not follow COVID mandates then its not worth the risk. Wear a mask if you handle food and at the register where there is no plexiglass. Food is consistent. read more

Taco Del Mar - Managee - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Perfect place to stop for a quick bite while touring around downtown Seattle! fopd was fresh and yummy.

I wasn't expecting much from fast food quesadillas but I was at least expecting all of the listed ingredients, maybe a reasonable coverage of cheese. Especially with an upcharge for shrimp! I'll just order from literally anywhere else next time. I can microwave my own if I wanted a quesadilla that sucks this bad. read more

Taco Del Mar - This shrimp quesadilla is allegedly worth almost $10 - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Got the loaded nachos was amazing!! Nothing regarded towards those they were amazing!! Although the burrito my partner got I feel as if it was over priced. Great tasting just pricing issues. I'd definitely recommend to anyone. Best tasting food I've had being in Seattle so worth to me read more

Food is delicious and fresh. They never try and give you old fish. Always cooked fresh without having to ask. The whole place is kept very clean including the bathroom. Owner always there and seems to take a lot of pride in his restaurant. read more

Ssssssoooooo disappointed!!! The food "that we got" (because half of it was missing) was awful! I ordered a shrimp burrito with added shredded beef ...NOT ONE SINGLE SHRIMP! Chips and salsa no where to be found, no salsa. Everything was kind of sweaty, like it had been sitting in a plastic container under a heat light for a while. I just moved here and I will NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN!! read more

I'm from Los Angeles California and I can tell you without a doing this place has the worst fish tacos I've ever had. The tortilla was warm and still had cold spots. The fish taco was overly microwaved and too hot. San Diego California has the best fish tacos in California. The farther down south you get, the better fish tacos get. read more

The employee behind the counter would not let me use their bathroom. No reason behind it. I support every business in Belltown but this one.

In town wanted something fast and simple this place remind me of a scaled down version on chipotle a few varieties of food to choice from read more

Taco Del Mar - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The service was very good and the two tacos were delicious. The refried beans were good but the Spanish rice needed more seasoning.

Excellent service, selection, and location. I like the atmosphere. There is no extra charge for guacamole. Choose everything you want on whatever you order. This place hits the spot if you're looking for quick, good Mexican food at a reasonable price in downtown Seattle! read more

I just learned that Taco Del Mar's motto is "Load A Big Fat One." So, in the spirit of Jessi's review, load up a fatty or two, smoke 'em, and you just might be hungry enough to eat here and enjoy it*. *Probably not, but it's so illogical it just might work! read more

I agree - what IS with the negative reviews of this place?? They just brought back the shrimp tacos here - which is REALLY like having a taco version of a New Orleans Po' Boy sandwich - HHmmHHhhmmmmHmmm!!! Yummy!!! :D AND, this Taco Del Mar is open until 3am on Fridays & Saturdays, which is great for needing some reasonably priced late-night drunk food. read more

If I could give negative stars i would. The service isn't bad but the food is HORRIBLE. Bland rice, stale tortillas and unseasoned meat are the cornerstones of this poor representation of Mexican food. The burritos are mostly the before-mentioned rice and the salsa tastes like some took V-8 and crished tomatoes. Taco Bell is far superior (and I hate Taco Bell) Go to Mama's on 2nd Ave. read more

I lived right across the street from this place, honestly the only thing this taco place had to offer was extremely late night food/snacks for clubbers and bar hoppers. They're open until about 3? am and basically on weekends all the bar hoppers or clubbers come here to eat a drunk meal. The food isn't great, it's kept in a heating pan all day and you can tell it was prepped hours and hours before, nothing here is fresh. Honestly chipotle blows this place out of the water, but honestly at least they're open late and available late at night. I give this food joint 2 stars due to their lack of cleanliness and I feel like they'd have a lot of health violations if Washington forced them to post their health score like California does. read more

Living stumbling distance right next to Taco Del Mar when its 3 in the morning on a Saturday Night and all you want is a MONDO WET BURRITO filled with all your dreams come true, is the moment you realize that living in absurd Belltown could not be any more Fucking Perfect, or better. I have had this drunken epiphany far too many a times. That is all. read more

Very convenient location for us. All ingredients are fresh. It's healthy choice if you need it quick. Price is also reasonable for downtown Seattle. You can also request loyalty card for future discount. I hope they offer grilled fish instead of battered fish. read more

Didn't drain anything so now I basically have soup wrapped in a tortilla, plus it's the smallest mondo burrito I've ever had and I've been eating these for atleast 10yrs. Highly disappointed and when I said something they just kept making it the way they wanted to.. super annoying read more

Taco Del Mar - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

After the bars closed, this was sufficient for munchies. You have to deal with very tired and unimpressed employees. Not real peppy are they. I got the Baja shrimp taco bowl. It was OK...maybe less than ok, but sufficient read more

They tried to charge $1.63 for a bottle of water when it's marked $1.00 on the sign. This would normally be ok, but it's Saturday night, my girlfriend is drunk and clearly needs water. Also, they should not assume people who look Asian no habla espanol. read more

Okay, when I started doing this I promised not to write about national chains because, well, it'd be a waste of time to read. We have Taco del Mar in Fremont (CA), so what's the big deal? The big deal is not Taco del Mar itself. It's the fact that I haven't had a decent burrito in a looong time. Yeah, there's Rockin' Burrito across the street, but it sucks. Really sucks. Half the damn thing is cabbage lettuce. Eating that burrito is like telling your body a really bad lie. So yeah, perhaps by California standards this burrito I'm eating ("Mojito Burrito" - steak, rice, beans, salsa, sour creme, guac, lime) isn't anything to write home about (haha) at all. But it does the job. Boy, does it do the job. Too bad they don't have horchata. I don't know who you have to kill to get one of those around here. read more

Jeez...what's with the hater reviews on this Taco Del Mar? Came here for a quick bite before heading to work... Ordered: Taco salad w/beef, sour cream, salsa, and guacamole + a Snapple: $9.00 Not cheap, but not overpriced. Excellent service! The food quality wasn't bad - everything was fresh, and the taco shell was perfectly crisp. Taco Del Mar was a staple for me in High School in the 90's - not so much anymore, but I'd rather eat here then a fast food burger joint! read more

This place was a dump! I flew into Seattle and arrived late to my hotel, it was after 1230am, I was starving, and this was the only place close enough that was open. When we walked in it seemed average, like a local dive chain that could be really good. Upon ordering I realized I was in trouble. I ordered a kids meal for my daughter, the menu very plainly stated the kids meal came with beans and rice or chips or cookie. When I inquired about the beans and rice they told me the kids meal doesn't come with that. It literally took me 7 minutes of arguing to get the two women who were there to understand it came with rice and beans. The burrito my friend got looked like there was greasy slop instead of meat in it. Everything about this place was all bad! read more

They add water to their queso!! And burn tortillas. Only one employee - because the owners are probably super cheap and won't employ people. So long lines too. Go to a different location. Bad representation for Taco Del Mar. Worst location ever. read more

Awesome place to go on a Friday night or if you are super hungry. They make the best Mexican Food and for the best prices. Can't beat the location either. Staff is super friendly and will work with you when you come up short. read more

Yes I gave it five stars and yes I know it is not exactly gourmet or even locally owned but hey good people go a long way. As I stated before I do agree that it is kind of silly to review a corporate chain BUT if there is a good reason then WHAT THE HELL!! This Taco Del Mar is hands down my favorite, the staff are very friendly, the cool little tiki bar feel is very cozy and they are always very kind and professional. Just being located in Pioneer Square has it's challenges but being open past two AM brings a whole new set of challenges. These very professional employees put up with a lot of crap each night and they do it with a smile on their faces and while remaining focused on quality and customer service. Even if you have a Taco Del Mar you frequent you should take a minute to stop by here one night and say hi, they will treat you with respect no matter how drunk you are and you will always leave full. read more

We stumbled across this chain restaurant when we tried to go to a more hole-in-the-wall Mexican place in Seattle and it was closed. I'm glad we did, because the mini-burrito, at only $5, was very filling and really yummy!!! They obviously have to have some seafood, and my friend got a shrimp burrito and shrimp tacos. They were decent, I think they were baked on an oven tray to make them hot because that's exactly what I saw--them peeling the shrimp off the aluminum tray. Almost as good as Chipotle! read more

I purchased the burrito bowl, at first glance it looked small but it certainly filled me up! Customer service was great and food was good! I'm from out of town but next time I'm here I'll definitely go again read more

First off, I think that Shane was talking about a different Taco Del Mar in his review. He mentioned it being in Pioneer Square, while this one is in Belltown. "But so what? What's the difference?" you might be asking. In this case a big one. Let me preface my review of this particular TDM by saying that I usually like most TDM's. But one thing I have found is that the quality of the food is VERY inconsistant from restaurant to restaurant. Some are great, some are just ok, and others are pretty horrible. This one I would have to say falls into the "just ok" category when it comes to food. Not bad, but not one of the better ones I've been to. But the food isn't the reason I am about to rip the crap out of this place. For that continue on to the next paragraph. THE SERVICE AT THIS TACO DEL MAR IS HORRIBLE. I work just a few blocks from the place, so I've been there more than a couple dozen times. I never got a great vibe from the employees, but whatever, I just ignored it. But the more an more I went there, the more it was apparent just how rude and unfriendly they are. The employees take their time and will flat out pretend not to see you when you are waiting. While making your taco or burrito or whatever it is, they at times will act annoyed at the slightest request. I can't tell you how many times a couple of the employees there have rolled their eyes if I ask for lime or cilantro. When you buy a burrito, it comes with chips. They never give you chips and if you dare ask for them, they will sarcastically sigh and slowly walk and grab them for you. I just can't stand the employees at this place! It's not all of them, just a couple. But they are there enough of the time to make me hate this place with a passion. I now walk 4 extra blocks out of my way to go to a different Taco Del Mar. That's what I think of this place. read more

Although this is not my favorite TDM in Seattle, I have always had pretty good food here. I like to stick with the burritos or the baja bowls here, and usually have the pork mole or chicken. Another good item I have had here is the Chicken and ground beef cheese enchilada, and having them put some of the white sauce in it along with the cheese; it is really good. Dip it in some guacamole, and it is awesome. Use some imagination when you eat out....it really does work. read more

It really doesn't deserve 3 stars for the food quality, but they are awfully convenient after a fun evening out in Belltown. The food is mediocre, but at 2am it hits the spot. I'll come back again and again, and wonder why I keep going back every time. Sure sounds good though after cocktails. read more

I duck in here all the time! Healthy, quick, clean, quiet, saves-the-day. Plus, they are going to start composting all their bowls, plates and utensils. Love it. read more

Love this place after a late night of drinking. Where else can I get some fat burritos at 2AM.... Either that or same old hot dog stands.

Burnt rice! Told the employee that the rice was over cooked and hard and she told me it was "toasted". I've never had such a horrible meal. The restaurant was dirty and the employee was dismissive and just sat in the back on her phone. Management really needs to take a look at this location. read more

This Taco Del Mar is consistent with all the others, you know exactly what you are going to get! The service is fast, open very late, there is a flat screen tv and they keep the store clean. They also do catering, which I used for an office event & it was the perfect amount of food. read more
