Cool old diner converted to a taco spot. There's limited indoor seating but tons of comfortable outdoor seating. Limited menu which is nice for those of us who are always indecisive. They have soft frinks but no alcohol aka no margs. While it doesn't say it's BYOB, there were multiple people who brought some beer etc to have with their meal outside. Sweet friendly kids work here. They're gracious and helpful. The food comes out so fast! We ordered and less than 5 mins later had our whole order The Americano style tacos were good. The beef and the steak both had good flavor. The chips and guacamole wasn't bad. It comes with a few different types of salsas. They do a booming to go business!! read more

Wow the food was well above average. Great service. I had a carne asada bowl that was made with really good steak not fake steak. Will be back again. The sitting area was very clean but not a true sit down restaurant. read more

Can't believe this place has been by my house for 2 years and I never knew about it. It's really good food, I highly recommend stopping. Good service and good vibes as well. Shrimp tacos and birria tacos are amazing read more

Just moved to the area and figured we'd give this place a try. It's very cute and has great seating indoor and outdoor. The staff are beyond friendly and accommodating. Really stands out how incredible the service is here. The food is also fire. We are obsessed and thought our tacos burrito and chips were insanely good. 10/10+ my only comment is the chips could use more salt. But they were really good very authentic reminded me of the chips I get when I visit my best friend in San Diego (I am spoiled). I got Al pastor tacos and they were chefs kiss. Just so flavorful and delicious. Loved the tortilla. Another thing to note is that the tacos were STUFFED with meat and very filling! Sometimes three tacos are skimpy and don't cut it - not here. You get a full filling meal at taco mar. My husband loved his burrito - he got the California house burrito it was delicious. He loved it and we both know we will be back here repeatedly as new home owners in the malvern area! So delicious. Thank you read more

My first visit. I loved the fresh, colorful flower boxes at the front of the restaurant. I went inside to order for take-out. The diner has old school charm & I was looking forward to a good meal. I was terribly mistaken. The shrimp fajitas were cooked quickly & not at all browned w/ little seasoning. The veggies were cut in huge pieces - pieces of green pepper close to 3" long, pieces of onion too big for a bite. Overall, absolutely no color to this wimpy meal. Forget about the rice & refried beans, out the back door they go. Guacamole had 1day past saleable date taste. I won't return. read more

Perfect. First visit and it's five stars. Tasty food, easy ordering, friendly staff, and sat outside on beautiful day. read more

Love this place! Fabulous food. Nicest people. Cutest decor. You can sit outside and BYO. Order the Bierria Tacos. Fantastic. We will be coming back. read more

I am kicking myself for waiting so long to try this place. Oh my goodness - everything was incredible! We got a lot of things and loved them all - the hard shell beef tacos, soft shell chicken tacos, the nachos, the quesadilla ~ all of it delicious! The salsa and guacamole were fresh. And the customer service was 10/10 the real standout, in particular the gentleman at the register named Dean. We will be back sooner than later! I'll be craving the tacos. read more

Hits and misses, but overall quality, tasty food. The 3 stars is because one dish was inedible and a complete waste of money to have to throw it away. Chips, guac and salsa (really it was pico) were really good quality and super tasty. As another reviewer mentioned, chips were thick, crispy, hint of lime, just really what I want in a tortilla chip. Guac was fresh, bursting with developed flavors of avocado of course, but some pico mixed in, garlic, salt, maybe some cilantro and lime, just thoughtful thorough flavor. Chicken enchiladas were not good! My chicken was so tough I couldn't eat it. The dish was garbage. I ate the rice and beans but the rest was inedible and a complete waste of money. Also, there wasn't anything in the tortilla with the overcooked chicken, and I didn't taste any seasoning on the chicken, and the verde sauce was dull. Would not order the enchiladas again. I tasted my son's beef, cheese, bean burrito and it was very tasty. I was happy he had no problem eating it as a picky eater. It has a cheeseburger element to the beef and cheese that appealed to kid appetite. Definitely a winner there! My husband was really happy with his California burrito. It had legit French fries in it. It wasn't clear from the menu that the fries were INSIDE the burrito but they were an interesting texture. The steak was well seasoned and was tender. It's very easy for burrito meat to be overcooked, but they did it right. read more

My wife and I each ordered three American style tacos. Her order came out with our chips and salsa. My order came out 15 minutes later. So I got to watch her eat. The cups for water are ridiculously small for a restaurant that serves spicy food. Food was average. The corn tortillas my tacos were served in tasted stale and had an odd crunchiness. Corn tortillas are served soft in Mexico and every other Mexican restaurant. They also double up on the tortillas. Not at Taco Mar. Just one corn tortilla for each tiny taco. I wish we just went to Taco Maya. What were we thinking trying something new. Route 30 traffic whizzing by wasn't exactly ambiance. Maybe put the outdoor seating behind the restaurant? read more

OMG. This place is the real deal. Just opened. Packed. Long wait. Worth it. Thick cut chips, line and salt is just right. Good guacamole and salsas (and I do not care for either normally). Had their street tacos. Nice value at $9.99 for three. Nicely stuffed full of simple goodness. Limited indoor seating. Nice options outside but not going to work on a cold rainy day. But take it to go and snarf it down in the car! Cannot wait to return. read more

Taco Mar - Taco - Mexican Near Me - Malvern, Pennsylvania

Went for lunch today. Just Wow! Amazingly fresh and authentic. Can't recommend highly enough!

Local gem, history location and what some called limited seating others call ambience. Been a fan of West Chester location for many years and now the same goodness is available in the 202 corridor. Tacos, Quesadillas all the standard fare are very good. I don't just give out 5's but they check alot of the boxes making this an easy recommendation. Go enjoy! read more

Absolutely delicious tacos. The restaurant and the rest rooms are clean as a whistle. Lovely service, too.

I used to come here all the time and boy has it changed. It's terrible now!!! Last two days I've had really bad experiences. Today I ordered carnitas like I normally do and they came out fatty and full of fat, I asked the manager to sub it for a Barria burrito and he tried charging me then brought tacos with onions and cilantro. When I acted shocked he began yelling at me in front of other customers and I left with no food. Super disappointing, this place used to be good. Stay AWAY read more

Ordered online food at 6:57 at night. Allowed me to place the order and never mentioned it was for the next day. Showed up to pick it up and they said they closed at 7 and that they couldn't make it. Service is usually good at this location but has seemed to drop off the last two times I have been here. read more

This place is above and beyond good. Service starting with Dean, the person taking our order, was incredibly nice and helpful. The food itself is the best Mexican I've had in the area. I can't think of a better spot that comes close. Then, the ambiance is as good as it gets. We sat inside the diner car area but on a nice weather day, the outside is something we want to come back and try. I love that they painted the train car to match the new feel. We'll be back! read more

Everything was excellent and can't wait to come back. Adding taco mar to our rotation.

This new spot is definitely fun and inviting. Quick service but gets packed as well, limited seating inside because it's taken over a diner set up (really neat). Very modern with a self order kiosk, order via QR codes, and ordering at the counter. So you could very well do to-go and eat in the car, this is a taqueria not a white tablecloth restaurant, think "street food". The food is good BUT could be elevated just a bit more, some more sazón, and add some variety on the corn tacos. It was really similar between the taquitos and enchiladas, which could be diversified a bit. Taquitos could be fried more as well, needs a good crunch! Overall, would come again for a quick taco! While Chipotle MAY be cheaper, $10 for 3 tacos is a good deal! The service was very attentive, they care about the customers. I hope the owners consider small improvements to make this top notch!! read more

The BEST chicken enchilada platter I have eaten in a LONG TIME! Everything was tasty and delicious- made me want to eat more! I love a place that makes it worth your money- WORTH EVERY PENNY! I would give Taco Mar 10 stars! My wife felt the same! Anyone who loves Mexican food - needs to patronize Taco Mar! read more

BEST FOOD AROUND! We legit can't stop getting food from here. We do takeout almost every time and it's the most delicious Mexican food around hands down. You guys are the best!!!! read more

Food is fine. Nothing special. Prices are a little high for just average food. Wait times are insane bc the kitchen is small and they don't have a lot of capacity. Not sure what all the buzz is about. I feel like El Limon, El Charro Negro, and Chipotle are just as good. read more

A great new spot for authentic Mexican! The set up is quick service style, meaning you order at the register or on your phone rather than having a server. Plenty of outdoor seating which is great! Great prices. The steak burrito was excellent. Really authentic salsas. The young manager was very friendly. read more

Fun new taco spot in Malvern Frazer area. Friendly and great service. Pretty standard menu for a taco bar but they also have some unique flavors too. This is a new favorite for us in the area for Mexican. Nice outdoor and indoor seating. But indoor is limited. Great take out also. read more

Wonderful Food and Service Very Cool Interior Definitely Recommend Nice outdoor seating I recommend their Quac and Queso Amazing Burritos read more

Great first visit - will be back! They did a nice job refinishing an old treasure. Chips should be unlimited though...

First time takeout. Excellent food and customer service in a beautifully restored diner. Had Birria tacos, Carne Asada Burrito and codfish tacos. All first rate. If you like salsa you can ask for a larger portion free of charge. read more

Food is delicious service is great, the burritos carne asada so tasty. The make your own burritos is great option. The flavored corn chips delicious. read more

Great food and great staff. Small interior so you might have to order to go if it's packed.

Food is great, but a bit pricey. Mole sauce is a $5 add on to an enchilada. Huh? That notwithstanding, will definitely go back.

authentic mexican!! great atmosphere!! service great ambience conviviable reminds me of my time in mexico read more

Great food and amazing service. Nice little restaurant and a cool environment. Definitely will go back.

Without a doubt, the worst Mexican food I've ever had. The "Original" chix tacos weren't even edible. In an effort to discern what the "chix" actually was (as it was dried up, completely ground down scraps of pellets), we determined it was possibly ground chix saturated in a very salty seasoning (something similar to Tajin). The flour "soft" shells were crispy - really thick & toasted & completely hard. The chips, guac (zero flavor) & salsa was a joke; literally served with a tablespoon of pico & a tablespoon each of two other sauces. The portions are ridiculously small. The unconventional way of ordering lended itself to self-service as opposed to table service dining. By far, the worst food I've ever had. Awful. read more

Best tacos I've ever had. Exactly what I want from a taco restaurant. Great service, amazing food. Loved it!!

I wanted to love it. We go to another very authentic Mexican place just up the road. Incredible. But Taco Mar? No flavor, extra small portions, hottest salsa is mind at most. Chipotle is cheaper, better, and triple the portion. If you enjoy bland, not-authentic Mexican food the plane is for you. read more

Our family loved eating at Taco Mar. The owners were very welcoming and the place was adorable, including the outdoor dining! We ordered the vegetarian bean tacos, the Al Pastor, the Philly house tacos, the shrimp tacos, and the Birria tacos. All were authentic, delicious, and made fresh. The staff were incredibly kind. We will most definitely be back! read more
