The very first TACO DEL MAR® (TDM) restaurant opened its doors on June 8, 1992 on Pier 57 in Seattle’s historic Waterfront District creating a marriage of the Mission style burrito and Seattle’s own renown seafood. Entering a TDM restaurant is like taking a step onto the sandy shores of your favorite beach. The combination of Baja-inspired food and atmosphere is truly enough to take you away from the daily grind and transport you to your favorite place, one bite at a time. The TACO DEL MAR® menu offers a fast, fun and delicious alternative to traditional Mexican food. We feature large, hand-rolled burritos and rippin’ fish tacos made to order just the way you want them. The service is fast, the people are enthusiastic, and the restaurants are inspired by beach culture. TDM is developing in both the US and Canada. Check us out on the web at www.tacodelmar.com. You might say this company serves Mexican food with an ocean view. Taco Del Mar Franchising operates a chain of more than 200 Fresh-Mex restaurants known for their Baja-themed interiors, complete with tropical music and surfboard tabletops. The company-owned and franchised quick-casual eateries specialize in tacos and burritos made with fresh beef, chicken, fish, and veggie fillings. The chain has locations in about 20 states, mostly in Washington and Oregon, as well as in the western provinces of Canada. James Schmidt and his brother John opened the first Taco Del Mar in 1992. The company voluntarily filed for bankruptcy protection in early 2010 and emerged several months later.
