About Taco Bell
Taco Bell is a haven for Mexican delicacies such as tacos, quesadillas, burritos, nachos, and other specialty items. Owned by Yum! Brands, Inc. Taco Bell is one of the fastest growing American chains of fast food restaurants. The restaurant operates from 7,072 different locations which are mostly run by independent franchisees and licensees.
The background story of Taco Bell is interesting and inspiring for budding entrepreneurs. The fast-food brand is the brainchild of Glen Bell, who started his first food venture as a hot dog seller in San Bernardino, California. The year was 1948. After witnessing long queues outside a Mexican restaurant called Mitla Café across the street, Bell saw the opportunity and demand for hard-shelled Tacos. He reverse-engineered the recipe and later started selling Tacos and called the venture Taco-Tia.
Later, the name changed from Taco-Tia to El Taco. Eventually, Glen Bell sold the company to his partner and opened the first Taco Bell in Downey in 1962. By 1964, the restaurant also got its first franchise in Torrance. The 100th Taco Bell restaurant was opened by 1965. PepsiCo acquired Taco Bell from Glen Bell in 1978 and the restaurant brand is currently a subsidiary of Yum! Brands which looks after the restaurant business of PepsiCo.

Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

A certain favorite companion of mine and I came here for a quick bite on a dinner break. I really liked the set-up. Someone said it was an old gas station, but being a Portland native I seem to remember this as a burger joint that had waitresses to bring out your meals to the car from inside. Who knows, I could be wrong, but in the end I thought it was a cute place with good atmosphere. The front counter server/cashier was very friendly and chatted right along as he got our meal ready. Somehow the three of us got into a conversation about tofu and whether we liked it or not and ended up in gales of laughter (tofu as a comedic tool, never thought of it before). At that time, our fish tacos were ready to take to the table of our choice. I found the whole kitchen/counter area, bathrooms, and general atmosphere to be super clean with great signage. There were outdoor tables, but it was so hot, we stayed indoors. Sadly, the fish tacos weren't just plain fresh fish, but lumps of mostly breading and bits of fish. The tortilla and dressings were great, but not the filling. If you find yourself in the region of Sheridan Fruit Company, this is an OK place to stop to try some of their many other offerings. I can't recommend the fish tacos, but can sure recommend a conversation with the front counter server. It'll make your day.

Um. Not great. The corn tortilla fell apart before I even touched it. Meat was okay, but i expected better. The "Pico" is really just salsa. Actual salsa tastes like olives for some reason. Queso is decent, but extra is a whole dollar for like an ounce. I usually write reviews after two visits to give fair opinions, but really, i can do way better at home, so I'll pass on this place. (Quesadilla was pretty good though)
(2)Andrew H.
I believe I got very used to Mexican street tacos in Texas because most anything I've tried since then (with the exception of Ole Ole on E. Burnside) has mostly been sub par. Taco Del Mar is a California themed taco and burrito shop. They serve fish tacos as well as meat and "Mission" style burritos. Whatever that might be. I ordered two tacos just for a quick bite to eat. Braised chicken and carnitas. I will say the meat was great in both tacos. Very moist and very flavorful. As for anything that went with it? Meh. I added jalapenos and they were hotter than the habanero hot sauce I was supposed to have on my tacos. I didn't even taste habanero. Shredded iceburg lettuce, tomatoes, pico de gallo and onions on corn tortillas. I don't know, I guess I should give them another try. The prices were good. I paid $4.00 for the two tacos plus I got a small drink. I will have to get extra habanero sauce on the side just so I can see what it's actually like. I guess I should take notice when at lunch time (or a little after) that there really wasn't anyone in the place. The location isn't the best, but the Sheridan Fruit Company is right across the street and that is worth going to. Just saying....
(2)Rick W.
We've been here before and really thought the food was good. Today's visit was less than delicious. The food was far inferior to what you would find at a local food cart. And the manager screeching to the guy in the back was driving me nuts. My last visit.
(2)John F.
I suppose I can say it was clean, the staff was nice, and had a lot of outdoor seating. Flavours were uninspired and the ingredients mediocre. Makes chipotle look sophisticated. Left with a stomach ache.
(2)Phil M.
I really enjoyed my visit to Taco Del Mar. In my opinion, they fall somewhere north of Baja Fresh and south of Chipotle on my national-chain fast-food Mexican restaurant scale. The one thing that bugs me is that their items that use fish -- in particular on this visit, the fish Mondo burrito -- use the frozen-food, Gorton's style of fish planks. Separate, Mexican food and fish sticks are excellent food choices for the right places/times. Combined? Not sure if I'm a fan. That said, the Mondo burrito is indeed mondo. Lot of burrito for a decent price. Maybe I should try something that doesn't have fish and maybe my review could be revised. But at first glance, it's OK.
(3)Curtis C.
It cracks me up that, when living in Hawaii, Taco Del Mar was a good option for "Mexican" food. Obviously there are a lot more choices for tacos and burritos in Portland, than there are in HI, but I still find times where their Mondo burrito is calling my name. Carnitas is good, so is the shredded beef. My only complaint is that their salsa is seriously the most bland salsa ever. Hot is like a puny mild in my opinion.
(4)Flory W.
We passed the Food Court on our way downtown, and decided, since we'll be coming back here, we'll try the Food Court, just a short walking distance around the corner from Taco Del Mar. OK, but we couldn't find a parking space, we went around the block 2x when we decided 'there's plenty of space @ Del Mar, let's just have another Mexican food today!" We did. While inside the car, I was finishing my hand-sewing, one of the workers inside was looking @ me, while helping a customer. My husband, already had his side of the door opened, while I finish up, took a few seconds! I decided to bring with me, my basket of flowers. (People usually asked me what I'm making, this way, I can now show them). This is a first for me! Since I have no clue what this place was, I usually do some sewing as well, while we wait for our food, but I didn't know it's like McD's. As we approached the front door, this same worker was already waiting for us, opened the door & let us in. Think of Benson Hotel, a doorman welcoming you inside. I said: "Hello!" But no answer. I said "Hello!" again, a little louder. Worker: "What do you have there?" I just thought she was admiring my flowers! So I told her they were hair clips. I make them! I also told her that one pharmacy in my neighborhood just wrote me a check, she sold all my flowers! I was beaming and happy to share the good news! Worker: "Oh, we don't do that here!" HELLO, I didn't come here to sell you flowers, we came here to eat. You don't do WHAT HERE? I said: "Are you the owner?" Worker: "No, I'm the manager." I said: "we were going to eat @ the Food Court, but we couldn't find a place to park, so we stopped here to eat instead!" I was also holding a brand new milkshake that I bought @ the pharmacy 5 mins. ago, and I didn't want to leave it in the car and order drinks here. I almost walked out and went right back to my car! I didn't realize, she's GUARDING THE DOOR, think of your mom waiting up late for you, then you walked in the door and barked: "where the heckl have you've been all night?" I couldn't believe HOW RUDE THIS MANAGER was towards me, I hope she sleeps well tonight, because it was hard for me to digest my lunch! Oh btw: the bathroom is outside, and they're dirty, smelly and no mirrors! We WILL NEVER RETURN HERE AGAIN, even if they gave me a FREE meal!
(1)Tony K.
It's a Taco Del Mar. If you're reading this, you're looking to go to Taco Del Mar, so you know the food. So breaking the mold of, by definition, a mold-made chain establishment, this location is in an old repair shop /gas station. It's rustic, and that's the nice way to say it. But the deficiencies be damned, this place is awesome. Why? The people. Really good people. Go early on a weekday, food is fast, hot and good. Really good for the $8 you might spend (or less). They have some outside seating, but with giant rolling doors inside can become outside with a swing of an arm. So the place it neat if you're into 1970's built gas station, and the food is great if you like Taco Del Mar, but if none of those things meets your fancy go for the people. Good service, even if it is "just a chain".
(5)Jonathan R.
Gross caucasian version of Mexican food. It reminded me of getting the Taco Bell "create your own tacos" kit from the grocery store. The staff was nice and the food is fairly cheap, but there are much better tasting options less that a block from this place.
(1)Robert V.
The Mondo burrito from them is always good! the staff is friendly the prices are good! The negativbe part of the visit is that there was an homeless man sitting in the corner making the place smell...
(4)Ray D.
Affordable, decent food. There's nothing that really puts this place over the top. The set-up is like Chipotle where you pick your meat choice, tortilla flavor, and then tell them what fixings you want inside. Pro's: There's more than one option for your burrito or taco (not just corn or flour tortillas, but also spinach wheat, tomato!) The burrito's are huge, you'll definitely get full The hot sauce, is actually hot. It's not too flavorful, but it definitely has a heat that doesn't take away from the flavor of the food There's plenty of seating Food is affordable The food is light/not greasy Con's: Service is slow The food was prepared incorrectly, and actually me and my husband's orders had to be repeated more than twice because the server kept forgetting what we said In the end, the food isn't that memorable The fish tacos aren't all they're cracked up to be - basically I've had better Chipotle has better tasting food, but the affordability and comfortable, casual atmosphere takes this place further. It DOESN'T remind me of California fare although that's what their aiming for. And that's really a shame, it's just not a good indicator of what real Mexican food from the California coast (ranging all the way from San Diego, San Francisco to Redding) is all about. It's just too light and not flavorful enough. Overall, if you're in the area, craving affordable, decent "Mexican food" that's not too heavy. It's more a "eh, why not."
(3)Brian N.
The location is too prime for a chain like this. San Diego has nothing to offer Portland and this place is proof. The Fish Taco's are really not that spectacular and you get 2 small pieces in a burrito. I probably ended up with more lettuce and beans than fish. It's more like Taco De la Playa than Taco Del Mar because you're getting more land in your taco than sea.
(2)Olivia T.
Taco Del Mar is friendly on the pocket. $5 will get you a big plate with Two enchiladas or One Taco and One Enchilada or Two Quesadillas With a side of beans and rice Topped with guacamole, Pico De Gallo, and sour cream It's pretty big for the price and pretty yummy for the tummy. It ain't Taco Hell, but it ain't Chipotle either (I love Chipotle) It's Taco Del Mar and we are just in get to know basis For now...
(3)Jacob G.
I've written about Taco del Mar before, but this one is the neighborhood location for me. Well, not much really to say about it other than it's close? And they once let me get a kids' meal for 99 cents (that's the price on Sunday), despite me having a 5-o'clock shadow? If I had one major complaint about this location, it would be the lack of bike parking. But I'd rather bike to the food cart pod on 12th and Hawthorne if I'm really hung up on getting a burrito after the carts downtown are closed.
(3)Apolinaras S.
Really nothing to write home about. It is a decent cheap place to spend $5 and get couple of decent tacos. That is about it.
(3)Leni S.
The staff is nice. I got a burrito for $5.60 that was mostly rice with two pieces of fish.
(3)ApdxR M.
So I'd give the food a 4, and the service and atmosphere a 1.5, so that rounds out to a shaky 3 (sine I can't give a 2.8) Service has been nice once, but mostly somewhat cold and abrasive. That I can live with. The worst thing about this particular location is it seems that the tables are always dirty, and not regularly wiped down. That part really sucks. I changed my mind since writing this, and I'll have to give it 2. 2 it is.
(2)Dave H.
I had been to a different location, wasn't impressed, but my friend wanted to give them a try. I figured since he was buying, why not try them again. Even though I didn't pay, I felt ripped off. The food was bland, even with a lot of extra hot sauce. I had the poor girl put three times what someone would normally get, and it was hot, but had no real flavor. The steamed tortilla is kind of a turn off too. I ended up throwing out half of mine and went for a decent lunch elsewhere. It's not inedible, it's just not satisfying at all.
(2)Travis T.
Montezumas Revenge. IBS. Flatulence. Cut the cheese. Break wind. Summer complaint.
(1)K D.
The food is not terrible. I generally just get a burrito sans sour cream. It's big enough to split into two smaller meals. But the folks who work there are, though occasionally disgruntled, actually really nice. I don't think there's been a single time I've gone there that I haven't had a really positive interaction with them or had them go out of the way to do something thoughtful for me. And that definitely pushes my review into pretty positive territory. While the food is just ok, the people are great (and the price is nice, too.) Talk to them!
(4)Melanie L.
I've been a loyal Taco Del Mar-ist since college when it was my burrito of choice after a rough night. This Taco Del Mar on MLK has employed perhaps the fastest taco/burrito maker I have ever seen. She is literally amazing, two steps ahead of me on all questions (queso, pico, or guac with my chips? black, refried or pinto beans? what type of meat? do you want to make it a combo?). My pet peeves are 1) slow people 2) inefficient people. This employee (didn't catch her name) gives me faith in the proficiencies of fast food folk!
