“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.“

“I recently tried the birria taco pack here, and honestly everything was AMAZING. The tacos were so flavorful, fresh, and perfectly made. You can really taste the care and quality in the food. They also gave a delicious cinnamon dessert with cream on the side, and it was the perfect sweet treat after the meal!

As someone who only eats halal, I truly appreciate restaurants that make the effort to provide halal Mexican food. It’s not always easy to find authentic Mexican food that is also halal, so finding this food truck made me genuinely excited. I LOVE Mexican food, and being able to enjoy birria tacos without worrying means so much.

Thank you for creating a halal option and making everyone feel included. The food, the flavor, and the kindness were all incredible. Definitely coming back again and recommending this food truck to everyone!“

“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.“

“Holy crap LOL. I didn’t realize adding queso would mean i get a burrito in a cheese bath. My mistake but seriously so good anyway. Thought I would try out Taco Del Mar while on lunch and it was super easy fast pick up. Flavor is great! The ingredients feel like good quality, not too greasy, and the portion is great for the price without being ridiculously large. Got a burrito, chips and a side of (very delicious) guac for just under $20. Awesome!!!“

“As always El Encanto is a most magical spot on the water, serving some of the best tacos ive ever had. Would highly recommend getting the guacamole board, and if you have enough people a taco board as well, and if you have enough room, a dessert board as well! Just ask and they can customize it for you :)
My only small complaint is that we were sat outside and there were not enough umbrellas to shade our table, so we were a bit hot this time. If you have sun sensitivity, best to keep in mind.“

“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.“
