Convention Center Tacos Disappoint
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. The food was just good enough to sustain its presence in a convention center, but it was not good food. I would advise against stopping here on a random visit. The meat in my two tacos was the best part, but the salsa was tasteless, the tortillas unpleasant, the lettuce limp, and the pico wet. For comparison, the convention center itself offers cheese plates, croissants, and good coffee, as well as chicken tenders, meatballs, and cubanos, all of which had more flavor and care put into them than these tacos. I believe the convention center should not be selling these tacos. There are likely food trucks right outside selling better tacos, proshki, or gyros, and I recommend giving them your money instead.

Pleasantly Surprised at Tacos Del Mar
As a nursing student attending a national convention, I decided to stop at Tacos Del Mar for lunch. I was pleasantly surprised by the super friendly staff and delicious food. The prices were also extremely reasonable considering the location.

Delicious Carnitas Under $20!
My experience at Taco Del Mar was a welcome surprise. After exhibiting at the Flower & Garden Show, I found the convention center's food offerings to be expensive & limited. I was happy to go down 4 floors and discover Taco Del Mar. The staff was pleasant, and my huge plate of carnitas was delicious and cost below $20 including a drink.

Grotty, Grumpy, and Meagre
My experience at this restaurant was far from pleasant. I needed a quick burrito for lunch, but received a tiny one that, while tasting okay, was not worth the visit. The service was not nice; two servers were grumpy and complained about various issues, including the card machine not working. Furthermore, the place is very unclean, with rubbish all over. I would avoid this establishment.

Mediocre Burrito, Better Options Nearby
My experience at this restaurant was decidedly mid. The burrito here is prone to falling apart, so I'd recommend double-layering it. While it's better than the Gyro Stop across the street, I advise taking the extra few minutes to go there instead. You'll pay half the price for better food. The kid-friendliness is a major con, especially when busy, as finding seating for a family can be difficult. Wheelchair accessibility is also an issue when it's busy due to limited seating.

Delicious Lunch with Excellent Service
I stopped in for lunch during a convention and had an excellent experience. The service was very polite, and they moved the line through quickly. The portions were large and the food was delicious!

Best Burrito Downtown!
My experience at this restaurant was exceptional. It's not only the best place to eat at any convention, but also the best place to eat downtown. I got a great burrito for cheap. It's truly God's perfect restaurant.

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

Stingy with portions, high prices
My experience at this restaurant was marked by a worker who was very stingy with items such as meat or toppings. They often charged more if asked for a little bit more of an item. The food score was 3, service was 1, and atmosphere was 2.

Disappointing Taco Salad and Dingy Atmosphere
I came here for a taco salad before a show. My experience was disappointing; the food was 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. It was kind of depressing all around. I’ll choose another place next time.
