This place persists because it is good enough food in a convention center. It is not good food. You should not stop in on a random visit. The meat was the best part of my two tacos, the salsa tasteless, the tortillas unpleasant, the lettuce limp, and the pico, wet.
This convention center sells cheese plates and croissants and good coffee. This convention center sells chicken tenders and meatballs and cubanos. All of which have more flavor and care put into them than these tacos.
This convention center should not sell these tacos. There are likely food trucks right outside selling better tacos, or proshki, or gyros. Give those places your money.

I am a nursing student here for the national convention and decided to stop in at Tacos Del Mar one day for lunch. I was pleasantly surprised by the super friendly staff and delicious food. The prices were also extremely reasonable considering the location.

We ordered here. They were out of corn tortillas. The food is okay but it's not made fresh it's sitting out all day. I didn't find the restaurant clean. I never saw anybody wipe the tables despite lots of people coming and going. Garbage was overflowing. One of the staff emptied the garbage and put the garbage can lid on the counter where people eat and never wiped it afterwards. I would not eat here again, and instead I would go to Blue Water Taco around the corner.

Exhibiting at Flower & Garden Show. Convention center food offerings expensive & limited I was happy to go down 4 floors & find Taco Del Mar. Staff was pleasant. My huge plate of carnitas was delicious & below $20 incl drink

Grotty, not nice service and meagre food. Needed a quick burrito for lunch, got a tiny one that tasted ok. Two servers were grumpy and complained about various things. Including the card machine not working. The place is very unclean, rubbish all over the shop. Avoid.

The definition of mid. Double layer your burrito or it’s going to fall apart. Still better than the Gyro Stop across from them. My advice? Take the extra few minutes to go across the street and you’ll pay half the price for better food.
Kid-friendliness: If you’re bring your kids it’s probably for a big con, and if it’s busy, you’re not going to find seating for your whole family unless you get really lucky.
Wheelchair accessibility: Basically no seating if it’s a busy convention. Otherwise you basically have the whole place to yourself.

Stopped in for lunch during a convention. Excellent service, everyone was very polite. They moved the line through quickly, large portions, and delicious!
This is not only the best place to eat at any convention, but the best place to eat on downtown. You get a great burrito for cheap. God's perfect restaurant.

For downtown quick food you can’t go wrong. The prices are right, the service is exceptional, the dining area is clean, and the food is way better than some of the other significantly pricier options in the area.Don’t sleep on Tacos Del Mar. I love the scorpion chicken burrito.

This place fails on a lot of levels. The burrito was simultaneously bland and incredibly salty and the rice was sour.... How do you fail at tacos, especially when you're named Taco Del Mar?? The strawberry banana smoothie had exactly 1 strawberry and a buttload of bananas. It was actually a banana smoothie and tasted disgusting. When asked if they could put more strawberries, the preparer glared at us and said "strawberry BANANA smoothie!!". ....? Would not recommend.

I came here for a taco salad before a show. The food was disappointingly watery and devoid of flavor, despite the many topping choices. Unlike the gleaming spotless convention center, this gritty little shop is dingy and painted in garish colors. The service was also a letdown; the unenthused man behind the counter did not seem happy to be there working alone at the end of the day. Kind-of depressing all around. I’ll choose another place next time.
