A very disappointing quick visit. The lunch manager was kind of rude and made me feel unwelcome. There are many other restaurants in this strip mall. I would try elsewhere, like the nearby Panera Bread. Maybe in other countries being brusque with public clientele works, but in NW Washington it turns people off. I am sad to have to write this review.

Never again!
We visited the location for dinner. Some of us wanted Tex-mex, some wanted something else, but we obviously all wanted to sit together. So we decided to order our own food and eat at an establishment close by.
When we were done, one of my daughters had some used napkins in her hand, so I told her to just go into Taco Del Mar and throw it out there - we were closer to their doors by this time. She did so, but as she was leaving, the older female worker started giving her a hard time about using their garbage. The lady even came outside and started yelling at me. I told her we were just throwing away garbage; since we were customers I thought it would be ok.
To prevent it from escalating further, I walked away and proceeded to get my family into our vehicle.
The lady continued to yell about having cameras and then went back inside. Was it over? Nope! She came back out with used napkins - I’m guessing she went into the garbage bin to look for what my daughter threw away - proceeded to yell that the garbage was labeled with their neighbor’s brands, and then she threw the garbage on my hood!
The gentleman in the vehicle next to ours must have seen the whole thing and was probably an employee of the neighboring establishment. He got out of his vehicle, took the garbage off our hood, waved and chuckled at us, and was kind enough to throw it away in his restaurant.
I hope the Taco Del Mar owners see this, and post the video from their camera so we can all see how it went down.
Objectively, food was alright, but service was horrendous.
If you’ve got some free time and want to potentially experience a live berating of customers, maybe come here, park your car out front and wait for some fireworks to start. If you’re hungry, grab some wings from next door.
Taco Del Mar owners, you guys need to get rid of that worker. She’s terrible for business.

Really nice staff. Food was expensive and could have used a lot more seasoning.

I recently discovered that this yummy place was here. The food was good and was just the right amount. It was clean and the guy behind the counter was friendly. I also loved the decor, looked like a surf shack. The parking lot and surrounding area is really busy!

Outstanding! My order could not be more delicious. A huge variety of choices and the guy running the show couldn't be nicer. Definitely a new favorite. ?

I had the veggie nachos (the owner Devender recommend) they were very good! But it was the service that made it excellent, 5 stars+ she is such a wonderful person and I hope they stay in business many more years ??

Very nice service and spotlessly clean store. For some reason, the Rippin’ Fish Tacos were less than rippin’. Ice cold, sticky flour tortillas and soggy fish sticks. The white sauce was good but the whole experience was not anything like any fish taco I’ve ever had. Gotta have hot, doubled up corn tortillas and CcCcrunchy hot fried fish.

Really expensive mediocre Tex-Mex chain food similar to Chipotle.
The value that TDM provided was big huge burritos, fresh ingredients, fast service. I have been here like 100 times and have always been super happy. On Saturday May 4 I went here around noon and it had totally changed. The burrito was like half the size and the service was aggressively bad, lettuce was brown. It was good while it lasted but that was my last visit.

They have vegan options here so I love this place and decent size portions. I usually get the small burrito and I paid over $9 for it today 1/4/2024.
