About Taqueria Del Mar

Taqueria Del Mar offers nice portions of food for a reasonable cost, with a welcoming atmosphere and easily accessible parking. The family-owned restaurant has been serving fantastic, fresh food since 1998. Favorites include the fish taco with rice and beans, flavorful chorizo burrito, and a variety of delicious dishes like nachos, quesadilla, enchiladas, and chimichanga. Guests love the chewy rice, amazing salsa available in squeeze bottles, and the fact that locals frequent the place. A must-visit spot on Cannery Row, suitable for families as well. It has a cozy, mom-and-pop vibe, with customers ordering at the counter. The seafood chimichanga is highly praised, described as hot, golden, and filled with a creamy mix of tender fish and shrimp. The chimichanga is fried on a flat top, not deep fried. Visitors also enjoy the seafood tacos, especially crab, squid, and fish varieties, which taste like an aquarium in your mouth. The restaurant is a great find, located only a mile from downtown Monterey, and offers a menu of a la carte items, specials, and combinations. The food is fresh, well presented, and delicious, prompting repeat visits. The owner/chef is a charming man who makes guests feel welcome, making it a highlight for many travelers.
