“Went to a neighbor restaurant, even though we called ahead and asked if we could have separate tickets, we got they're and were rudely showed where the menu said groups over 6 will be one ticket. we said we called in advanced and were told if we mentioned it before we ordered they would give us individual tickets. They were not nice about it. and they weren't busy. as our people came in, we sent them to La Corona who were more than happy to assist us. Once at La Corona, everyone was super friendly and nice. Food was plentiful and very, very good. I have a diary allergy and they made sure no dairy or cross contamination was on my plate and instead of cheese on my chimichanga, it had a delicious gravy. Everyone Loved the food they received. It was awesome good and plentiful. Will be going back for sure.“

“This is hands down my favorite taco spot in the area! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. One of the biggest reasons I keep coming back is that they offer halal options, which can be hard to find. The tacos are packed with flavor, the portions are generous, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. If you’re looking for amazing tacos with halal choices, I can’t recommend this place enough!“

“Check your bags and receipts BEFORE you leave! Shady practices. ​I want to love this place because the food is actually great, but their front-of-house staff and takeout service are a total mess. I’ve eaten here and ordered takeout a handful of times recently, and every single time there is a 'mistake' that feels incredibly intentional. ​They seem to have a major habit of shortchanging to-go orders. I ordered the Hawaiian burger to go, got home, and it was just a dry patty and a bun—absolutely zero toppings or pineapple. Another time, I caught them trying to hand me a beef nacho order that was literally just chips and meat with none of the advertised toppings. Then, just yesterday, I ordered the $24 Birria taco plate to go. When you eat it in the restaurant, it comes with 3 tacos. In my to-go box? Only 2. When I called them out on it, the guy just shrugged, lied, and said they never do 3 tacos, then walked away to talk to another customer. ​On top of the missing food, their pricing is completely dishonest. They charge way more than the menu states (they snuck an extra $6 onto my bill for a margarita), and on a recent group dinner, they actually tried to run my card for the entire table's bill without even asking me first. ​Great kitchen, but the service is completely untrustworthy. If you order to-go, open every single container before you walk out the door.“

“Really impressed with the new Taco del Mar in Kirkland near the waterfront. The location is great, and the inside is beautifully done—modern, bright, comfortable, and exceptionally clean. It has a fresh, welcoming feel that makes you want to sit down and enjoy your meal.

The food was just as impressive. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and well prepared, with great portions and that satisfying Taco del Mar flavor. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better.

It’s clear that a lot of thought and care went into creating this space. If you’re around the Kirkland waterfront, definitely stop by and give it a try. Highly recommend!“

“I have to say, I have never been impressed with a fast food chain other than my local Taco Time but I was so impressed with the service and food at this Taco Bell that I felt inclined to leave a review. First off, I came to this location on a Wednesday at 11:12PM. It was late, I was hungry, my expectations were low because more often than not, fast food is just “Meh.”

My experience was actually great. And I was shocked. The service was very professional and the staff actually seemed like they wanted to be there. My food was hot and it was good…. Again, I was shocked because this never happens at a Taco Bell.

Whoever is running this store is doing an amazing job. Thank you Taco Bell Kirkland team for a great late night experience.“
