Taco Del Mar

I recently went to the reopened establishment (new management) and hope that they do well.
The service was excellent and I could tell that it was a family franchisee.
Slightly cheaper than mucho burrito which has been around longer in the area.
Suggestion — offer to warm up /​toast the taco shells. Takes 20 – 30 seconds in a toaster oven and makes them much tastier.
I wish them the best but they are stuck in a plaza that is quite far from the main road; in a corner so you’ll have to be looking for them to see them.

I just went for the grand reopening and had a free large steak burrito (usually $ 7.00). Small is $ 5.50 good fair pricing. Score! First off anything free in this capacity I’m Leary of, but the new owner went all out in his approach to draw the neighbourhood business. Hats off to him for absorbing today as a loss-​leader. I had the steak burrito stuffed with rice, black beans, pico de gallo, lettuce&sour cream on a flour tortilla.
The steak was moist & seasoned well and the other items were fresh. It was stuffed the way a burrito should be! Score another point (cause when I go to mucho burrito depending on who you get they skimp on the filling). Anyway back to Taco Del Mar, I hope they survive this time; based from my experience today they should. After all the other locations are known to be good. We now have 3 Mexican café style resto’s in the same block which should prove to be an interesting vie for business. I am giving ⁴⁄₅ stars today based solely on the quality & taste & friendliness of TOday. I will go back to assess it again & see if they play Mexican music like mucho burrito (which is one of the draws for me-~makes it Mexicana atmospheric; or some kind of music Cali surf stuff even.

I can’t even give this place a two! Dry food, dry rice, old tomatoes and the lettuce was the only fresh item. The corn tortillas were dry and not heated so they crumbled before we could eat. Never again

What a great place for fast food Mexican. The buritos and tacos are delicious (have had the shredded beef, shredded chicken, fish, and pork) and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Also, one of the few places that offer corn tortillas.
Their loyalty program is a nice bonus (get your card stamped for every $ 5 of purchase and receive a discount after 10 stamps) and now that they offer churros they are officially my favorite taco joint in Aurora.
Make sure to take advantage of their daily specials, especially Fridays: Two fish tacos, rice & beans and a pop for $ 5.00…can’t beat it!

I’ve been meaning to try this place for awhile given that I work out a mere two doors down at the local Goodlife, However eat a burrito either immediately prior or following a session at the gym has always seemed a little counter productive (I mean the burrito is a 1LB after all).
Walking in, staff were eager to assist and once i informed them that it was my first time at ANY Taco Del Mar, the owner/​manager was happy to walk me through their approach to the burrito world.
As instructed it’s best that you refer to their menu board from right to left to fully appreciate the «flow». One thing that struck me over and above other burrito purveyors was their prices. I was astounded at how much cheaper a meal here was compared to the likes of Chipotle, Burrito Boyz and others.
I went for a chicken burrito on a spinach tortilla and loaded it up with guacamole (add $ 1) and all the other free toppings. The guac is mixed in house daily, but to save time they do use an avocado paste prior to mixing it with all the guac accouterments.
Overall, I’d say this burrito lands about level with it’s competition, so naturally I would award it a 3 star BUT given that the price was lower ($ 7) and the owner/​manager was so patient and welcoming I’m giving them a bonus star!
Eatcrest Out!
