Taco Del Mar to reopen in a month

By Geeky Swedes · February 22nd, 2009 · 12 Comments

Taco Del Mar next to Lenin is closed due to “water problems,” according to the sign on the door. “Lets hope they didn’t shut down for good!” said Fremont Universe reader Nick in an email tipping us on the closure.

We called and were told the restaurant is making some changes in the kitchen, and the permits are taking longer than anticipated. Taco Del Mar hopes to reopen within the next month.

    That’s weird. We went one day and found a Seattle utility bill on the door that showed the owner owed $2000+ in past due unpaid water, and that it had been shut off and payment was necessary for turn-on, but saw the sign about “WAater Problems” in the window.

    Glad to know there not closed for good!

    I don’t understand why anyone would miss this place - there are two other mediocre mexican spots nearby - this one is just plain awful

    lol -

    we wondered how the other businesses were surviving there with said water problem.

    the other half surmised the water problem was the bill

    I have just four words to say about Taco del Mar: Gum, bandage, wing nut. Those are the items that my co-workers have found in their Taco del Mar ‘meals’.

    Tacos Guaymas!

    On a kinda related note, it seems like the plan to tear down the Tacos Guaymas for more condos is on hold. Anyone know if this is true?

    Worst TDM in the state easily. I have eaten at a TDM that was also a tire shop that's way better than this one.. I miss quick nachos for lunch hopefully they come back with new management. The lame manager dude trained his people to cheap out on the food. Haven't stepped foot inside in 2 years.

    I love tacos. How I wish that there is a tacos store in the place that I'll move at.
