Gone down hill over the last 18 months and prices have jumped. And asking for tips. Service is mumbling. 32 bucks for two burritos and one drink.

Harsimran was very acommodating and provided us with such great service. It made our dining experience very enjoyable, especially that it was our first time to try Taco Del Mar here at Campbell River. We will definitely come back and dine here again.

My favourite place in the town to have the most fresh delightful, colourful and exciting food. The staff is super friendly and looks out for their guests. The place is very well maintained and hygiene friendly. I 100% recommend this food store ☺️

Avoid the soft corn tacos ($4.50-7 each) here! The burrito ($10-12) and enchiladas ($13) are okay. I have been here a few times and the first two times I ordered the burrito and enchiladas with pork filling. It was okay and comparable to Mucho Burrito. Nothing special but filling and decent. However, today I felt adventurous and decided to try out their special seafood tacos ($7 each) and pozole soup ($11) they have been advertising on the poster. What a mistake and wasted $30 on dinner for myself (wish I took photos). The only part okay was the pozole soup but not worth the $11 they charge. The soft corn shell was doubled up and put in a steamer for 15 seconds. However when I ate the taco, the shell was still quite cold and because it wasn't warm it totally ruined the taco. I decided that I'll just use my spoon and eat the filling but that was just equally bad. It's like they put lobster bits mixed in with thin slices of cabbage and your choice of salsa. It was quite dry, flavorless and cold. It would be better if the lobster was hot server with onion, cilantro and salsa. Along with warm corn tortilla shells! The service wasn't great but I know it's a tough time to find good employees especially for fast food joints. They treat customers as if they have been here and know how things work. I watched as some guy new to the place struggled to place his order. If I do return I'll stick with the burrito or enchiladas.

I enjoy eating at this location, been here twice since living here in Campbell River! Not as expensive as a few locations I've been too! A few times had to order a different burrito, seeing they didn't have my Spinach wrap! But regardless the food is great, a little pricy; but still better than some places in town

Campbell River's Mexican Subway, located in the corner of Timberline Village! Delicious food with friendly service, definitely a good choice for a family meal. Tacos, burritos, enchiladas, taco salads or burrito bowls, serving your food however you want it

I ordered 2 lobster tacos and unfortunately it was so bad I couldn t eat it.. I asked the girl if there was even any lobster in it? and she said it s a mixture of fish .. no lobster so I left but then I later contacted the company and asked for my money back .. I never do that but this was really not good.. but no one got back to me so I guess that s my last visit

My favourite fast food is Taco Del Mar in White Rick BC. However, we qwere passing through Campbell River & each got our usual burrito. Our first & last at this location. The chicken was ice cold, large yucky tasting onion chunks, everything tasted watered down, hardly any rice. We both felt like throwing up after. Needed to repeat our order again and again. Yuck!

Highly impressed with service. Visit yesterday to have burritos after my shift near bout 7:45pm seems very busy at that moment. Two very nice and polite girls were working very hard. The store was neat and clean. Burritos were wrapped nicely and too yummie. Thanks guys for great service. Really appreciated. Will visit again for best burritos.

The service was excellent although communication was at times difficult due to masks worn by people serving us. I am in agreement and happy that all service providers are wearing masks although it may make their jobs more difficult. Now to the nitty gritty...there was not enough of the special to serve my friend and me both the one and only table was dirty the food flavour less. Disappointed.

Have loved this place in the past. One of my fav places. But, just visited today, 02/01/19. Very dissappointed. The burritos used to be so big and tasty and SO MUCH CHEAPER. Today they tasted so blah even with the pico and habanaro. Used to come here at least once a month from the Comox Valley Now we live in CR and dont think we will return. $9.90 for a burrito is rediculous. Sorry.

I had gone to the Campbell River Taco del Mar three times. The first time the counter fellow swiped the remains of the last order off the counter onto the floor. He said he would clean it up later. The lack of hygiene worried me. Every time I went in there the person behind the counter asked me what was I charged for the food last time? The lack of consistency really bothered me. The food was alright but there was no consistent pricing policy. They need to have a consistent business plan so the customer knows what they are ordering. There is a strong sense of lack of training. With the disappointing experience I had, I will not return.

Not too impressed with the staff, she seemed like it was a bother to have us in the store, would grab some items and as she was about to put them on, then ask me if I wanted that product, then slops it all in the middle if I did, not making any effort to spread the portions evenly, by the time she had wrapped it, I had paid then sat down in the resteraunt to eat my burrito was already soaking wet and falling apart. It was literally just a big soggy ball of mess. 2 stars because even though my s/o had 3 hardshell tacos that he had to eat with a spoon, he still enjoyed them.
