Taco Del Mar Franchise Opportunities – History

Taco Del Mar opened its first restaurant in 1992, on Pier 57 in Seattle’s historic waterfront district. The brand was founded by brothers James and John Schmidt, who came up with the restaurant name (which translates to ‘Taco of the sea’) based on the restaurant’s original specialty, fish tacos. Since opening that first restaurant, Taco Del Mar has grown to more than 260 locations in the United States and Canada.

Taco Del Mar Business Opportunities: Other Information

The Taco Del Mar story actually began long before the first Seattle restaurant opened, when a group of surfers in San Diego headed south of the border to try the waves along the Mexican coast, and discovered the coastal Mexican fish tacos. That led to the idea for Taco Del Mar, and the founders have never looked back.
