Taco Del Mar

Where’s the beef ?
Gummy burito. Ordered beef burito, mostly rice filled with refried beens. Sour cream & guagamoly cost $ 1.40 extra, extra meat cost extra, which I passed. A Burito already $ 5.50, hello. Lilltle scraps of ground beef added at that price.
Let’s analyzed. Please come back for more crappy, gummy, Carbo loaded burito. We sure can do better but your burito can price up to $ 10 each.
Very much want small business to make it, but Taco bell is down the street and I am not here to change the world.
Wait, Taco del Mar is a chain too. May be they the name cost extra for that franchise.

I’ve been to A LOT of TDM’s in the Seattle area. This one is the best! Anyone who disagrees is delusional!

Disgusting. This location lacks flavor. When my friend complained they seemed irritated to make her something else! This location is very bad!!!

I admit it – I eat here. ‘Tain’t so bad, though it’s not especially cheap. You know, they might do better to spice the food up a notch. While everything seem fresh, there is a tendency toward the bland. .. .

This place gets a solid 1 star for delivering 100% pure, inedible, unsatisfying food.
Wanna add some pounds? Get their regular burrito with 1000+ flavorless calories.
Or, if you want a smaller portion, get the «Mondito» burrito that has 600 flavorless calories.
Either size or flavor you choose, you’ll get the same slop wrapped in tortilla and foil.

Jamming with the band makes me a hungry boy. You’d think I wouldn’t be burning so many calories playing bass, as really all I’m doing is moving my fingers around really rapidly, and they get a hell of a work out. Yes, that means I give great massages. No, that doesn’t mean I’ll give you one. Anyway, when the three of us are in our groove I can’t help but bounce around like a chimpanzee with red ants on his ass. What can I say? We rock.
Burritos and tacos make for good jamming fuel. Just ask the ‘dudes’ in the band across the hall from us. I’ve heard them come out of their practice studio many times exclaiming in the sheep ‘baah’ voice: «Du-​u-​u-​u-​u-​udes let’s get Ta-​a-​a-​a-​acos!»
I’m extremely partial to Taco Bell for nostalgic reasons I lay out in my many Taco Bell reviews. I was a little nervous trying a new burrito place who’s name suggests the primary ingredients used are fish. But Taco Del Mar makes killer mission style burritos.
Speaking of bands and jamming, Journey wrote a song about this place:
Any way you want it,
that’s the way you got it,
any way you want it.
Baaah-​baBAbaBAba-​ba-​bum.
She feels like chicken
She feels like beef.
She wants her black beans.
Baaah-​baBAbaBAba-​ba-​bum.
Sometimes hot sauce,
Sometimes medium,
Their pico-​de-​gallo steams!
Baaah-​baBAbaBAba-​ba-​bum.
If ever there was an argument for an open border with Mexico, it’s pico-​de-​gallo. I’m no expert in Mexican culture, but dammit that’s one contribution to the world I’m glad they made.
This particular Taco Del Mar always has a pretty helpful fellow, and is never crowded. And it’s walking distance from our studio, so I can gorge myself on my way back, and walk out the belching before I have to sing. This is a good thing. The more you belch into your microphone, the stinkier it gets. And it ain’t fun standing there jamming away for a couple hours with a smelly piece of metal right under your nose.

They got rid of shredded beef.
My near-​tears hysteria didn’t get a lot of sympathy. I guess they don’t understand my personal struggle with addiction for low-​fat, iron rich shredded beef tacos. They don’t understand all those rainy days when I sat at the surfboard-​inspired bar and munched on the beefy goodness and felt warm inside.
Warm inside my carnivorous, protein-​rich soul.
I miss you, shedded beef. I’ll never forget what we shared.

we hit this one up on a saturday for lunch at work. my first taco del mar experience… in retrospect, it was better than chipotle, but not by much. we had some flavor here but nothing to write home about. not exactly what i would call cheap mexican either. i might go again to try the burrito, but the enchilada platter was not worth the price. what they lacked in flavor i guess they were making up with speed, cause that guy whipped out the quickest order of 2 burritos, 2 fish tacos and 1 enchilada platter you can imagine. and it showed…
