Taco Del Mar — Restaurant in Bellevue

So I've seen mixed reviews about Taco Del Mar. it's not a franchise like Chipotle and the first store opened in Washington. They do have a few locations in nearby states but I still consider it a WA local taco place. Sure it's not the best like stuff you'd get from Texas or SoCal but if you have a craving for Mexican and don't want to go to a franchise like Chipotle, then this is your spot.

I think the mixed reviews are due to the varying items they offer. I used to go to Taco Del Mar a lot as a kid - even before Chipotle was a thing. I think they shine with their burritos, fish taco, rice and beans, and taco salad. Anything else I really don't think it's worth trying. While the burrito and fish taco are on the expensive side, the taco salad is a great deal. I door dashed a taco salad for $13 and the portion size was great. They even make their own taco shell. It was a little on the cold side and they forgot my side of white fish sauce (my favorite) but remembered to put my sour cream and salsa on the side. I definitely prefer taco Del Mar over chipotle. Give the taco salad a try (not the burrito bowls). I feel like those aren't filling enough but for $13 total the taco salad is a great bang for your buck.

I used to really like Taco del Mar, but this last experience has made me decide to choose Chipotle or my new favorite, QDoba. I asked for a bowl, no rice and was sorely disappointed that it was so small that I had to pay extra to make it an actual meal by adding extra chicken and beans. I'm confused as to why I spent nearly $20 for an okay bowl. Disappointed. I expressed this to the person training the new person making my bowl, only to be chuckled at and shrugging her shoulders like I was being ridiculous. I was the only one in the store during what should have been the lunch rush.....there were 4 people behind the counter. Maybe other locations are are better, which I really hope is the case. I absolutely don't like leaving bad reviews, but this was a...

Due to misadvertising and my hunger, I arrived at this place. This place is the fast food version of tacos. I tried a few different kinds. Buy when your shrimp gets microwaved in front of you, it's not a good feeling. But, I am being fair and grading it as a taco fast-food place. You will get okay tacos here - not great tacos. So, that's 3 stars. However, the service is stellar. All the people behind the counter we're super nice and they seem to really care for the customer and their needs. Therefore I am bumping it up to 4 stars. If you are looking for awesome tasting tacos, this is not the place. But if you want to go for a quick bite with the kids, this place is good. Pork taco was the...
