I've been meaning to try this place for awhile given that I work out a mere two doors down at the local Goodlife, However eat a burrito either immediately prior or following a session at the gym has always seemed a little counter productive (I mean the burrito is a 1LB after all).
Walking in, staff were eager to assist and once i informed them that it was my first time at ANY Taco Del Mar, the owner/manager was happy to walk me through their approach to the burrito world.
As instructed it's best that you refer to their menu board from right to left to fully appreciate the "flow". One thing that struck me over and above other burrito purveyors was their prices. I was astounded at how much cheaper a meal here was compared to the likes of Chipotle, Burrito Boyz and others.
I went for a chicken burrito on a spinach tortilla and loaded it up with guacamole (add $1) and all the other free toppings. The guac is mixed in house daily, but to save time they do use an avocado paste prior to mixing it with all the guac accouterments.
Overall, I'd say this burrito lands about level with it's competition, so naturally I would award it a 3 star BUT given that the price was lower ($7) and the owner/manager was so patient and welcoming I'm giving them a bonus star!
Eatcrest Out!
