    Taco Del Mar – Fresh Mex Options for Dairy-Free & Vegan Diners

    2
    By Alisa Fleming on January 30, 2023 Fast Food Restaurants

    Updated January 2023! Taco Del Mar is a Mexican fast casual chain that spans the U.S. and Canada. They have a great build-your-own Burrito, Bowl, Tacos, Taco Salad, or Enchilada model that makes it easy for special diet needs. Our dairy-free guide below breaks it down for easy ordering, and includes allergen notes, gluten-free options, and vegan choices.

    Taco del Mar Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Vegan and Gluten-Free Options and Custom Order Guide

    Taco Del Mar Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Allergen & Vegan Options

    This menu guide includes dairy-free menu options first, followed by the custom order components, and finished with the sides and desserts. Be aware of special order requirements in parentheses () next to the menu items, and see the Heads Up notes to help fill in the blanks. Please note that this guide is for the U.S. and Canada locations, but slight menu item availability could vary by location or country.

    Other Allergen & Dietary Notes: All items listed below are made without egg, peanut, tree nuts, soy, and wheat, unless otherwise noted. Any items not labeled with wheat appear to be listed on their gluten-free menu. All non-meat, non-egg items listed below are vegan-friendly, except for the Enchilada Sauce. Vegans should skip the enchiladas and wet burritos. For the “protein” you can choose Beyond Beef, Spicy Chorizo Hash, or you can order the Veggie/Vegan option. The latter adds guacamole (at no extra charge) in place of the protein.

    Build Your Own

    • Burrito (contains wheat)
    • Mondito Burrito (contains wheat)
    • Wet Burrito (topped with enchilada sauce) (contains wheat)
    • Burrito Bowl
    • Tacos
    • Taco Salad (contains wheat)
    • Nachos (sorry, no cheese!)
    • Enchilada Platter (contains wheat)

    Heads Up! All of the above are delicious without dairy! Skip the cheese and sour cream toppers, and use the guides below to pick your proteins, toppings, and sauces. We do not yet know if the new Tortilla Soup is dairy-free. The Fish Tacos do contain milk.

    Tortilla Products

    • Corn Tortillas
    • Flour Tortillas (contains wheat)
    • Spinach Tortillas (contains wheat)
    • Tomato Basil Tortillas (contains wheat)

    • Ground Beef (contains soy)
    • Pulled Pork Carnitas

    • Shrimp (NOT crispy shrimp) (contains soy)
    • Spicy Chorizo Hash (plant-based chorizo, diced potatoes, onion, serrano peppers) (ask regarding other allergens; vegan)
    • Steak (select locations)

    Heads Up! The Eggs, Crispy Shrimp, White Fish, and Lobster and Seafood blend at Taco Del Mar contain milk. If breakfast is served at your location, the Chorizo Sausage and Jalapeno Bacon are made without dairy.

    • Tomatoes

    Sauces & Dressing

    • Baja White Sauce (contains egg)
    • Black Bean & Corn Salsa
    • Chipotle Salsa
    • Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette
    • Corn Salsa
    • Enchilada Sauce (contains soy)

    • Mayonnaise (contains egg)
    • Pico de Gallo

    Sides

    • Chips & Guacamole
    • Chips & Salsa
    • Rice & Beans (with Pinto, Black, or Refried)
    • Breakfast Potatoes

    Heads Up! The Churros (where available) and all Cookies at Taco del Mar contain milk.

    There is always a risk for potential cross-contamination of allergens in any commercial kitchen.

      I just want to thank you so much for this resource. My daughter has a milk protein intolerance and while breastfeeding her, knowing where I can go out to eat has saved my sanity. I am continuously surprised at the wealth of information…You even have Taco del Mar! Amazing, and again, many thanks.
