Del Taco

So this is really a 3 star restaurant but I have it a bonus star comparing it to other del taco locations since they serve breakfast all day long. The pain breakfast burrito and steak and egg are some of my favorite del taco cravings and it really bums me out when I go to a location for then and am let down because they stopped saving them 10 minutes ago or won’t start for another 30 minutes. Bravo to this location. Besides that it’s decent quality for del taco standards and food comes out fresh and hot.

I love Del Taco but I would avoid this location. Went to grab some food last night and they had a handwritten sign that said «Super Bowl drive thru only». Interesting… Then upon entering the drive thru, I pulled up to the speaker with my friend and we asked if we could make two orders. After this the guy said «no we can’t do that». Weird because all other locations have done this in the past. Finally after asking if we could split payment between card and cash in that case, we were told that he would do it for us «this one time» with a horrible attitude. When we arrived at the window, the guy still had a horrible attitude and even forgot my drink and gave US a look like we did something wrong. Avoid this location. The one by UCI and the Barranca one are much better.

Ordered via drive thru, and they got my order wrong so O had to re-​order at the window. They made me wait 10 min for the order to come out only to be missing half my order. I had to walk in to tell them I was missing order and they made it seem as if I was trying to cheat them. Demanded I show my order and receipt. After they confirmed that I wasnt trying to steal extra tacos, like anyone would do that, they reluctantly gave me the right amount of tacos while glaring at me… seriously double, triple check your order before you walk or drive away

Food is passable but I doubt the 8 oz weigh more than 4 – 5 oz. My biggest complaint is that they refuse they honor their gift card. My son gave me one for my birthday. I’ve been there 3 times over the last 2 months and each time they told me the card reader was broken. I believe it’s more likely they didn’t know how to use it or just didn’t want to bother. If not for the coupons I get in the mail, I wouldn’t go at all because the prices have skyrocketed in the pas year.

Coming here for over 15 years. It’s gotten horrible the last couple years. Pathetic. Never coming back. See my pictures! Lukewarm fries, never ever hot. Deluxe chili cheese fries had only one or two tiny cubes tomatoes, again, see the pictures. Much better to go to Carl’s Jr. next-​door.

Unfortunately this location seems to have returned to its old ways. Orders continue to be wrong, prices charged are higher than prices posted on the menu, and the food quality is pretty random. This morning was my last visit for awhile. I’ll check back in with them in a couple of years.

+ Good food
+ Fast service
I’m going to give this place 3 stars because each time I’ve been here, I have not been disappointed. It is an average fast food place which meets my expectations. Nothing amazing, nothing terrible.
Each of the 3 or so of my visits, they were a bit short on sauces. Their main tray of sauces at the counter also was mostly just ketchup.

When you go to this Del Taco don’t bother reading the menu, just say «random please», seriously just say «give me whatever random order you feel like» because no matter what you order you will get home pull the food out of the bag and get completely random food that you never ordered. Happens every time, without fail, that’s the only consistent thing about this place, they will get your order wrong every time, 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

Macho nachos are delicious. But no. Honestly, no. The service is just no. Undertrained employees. Got my order wrong. Well in their defense I didn’t really say it clearly, but yeah. No jalapeños, they got that. I said LESS BEANS for AT LEAST THREE TIMES. JORGE DID NOT UNDERSTAND OR RESPOND PROPERLY. Also I said extra sour cream on the side. I meant I wanted the regular amount in the plate, but some extra on the side too. Well I guess I wasn’t clear. Oh well it’s ok. And the guy at the pick up window for drive through was just inexperienced. I got no utensils. Well he asked me if I wanted hot sauce and gave me plenty, but still. He was clearly undertrained. He forgot to say a lot of things Del Taco make u say (my cousin worked there before). But oh well. Idc either. It’s a fast food place what do you expect? Well. At least the food is good. Not the milk shakes though. Strawberry milkshake? To make it quick they don’t even fully blend the strawberries into the ice cream and milk. No Bueno.

I try to be a fair reviewer, and I must say this Del Taco has really improved the drive-​thru experience. Ordering is no longer an exercise in frustration, and the orders come out right. It’s nice to see a place turn things around.

Stale tacos?! I’ve never had stale tacos from a del taco before until I went to this location. This is unacceptable to me. Stay far away from this location.

I’m glad I didn’t read the reviews prior to coming here, or I might have decided not to go! I was starving and had a serious craving for some good old del taco and this did not disappoint. I ordered a simple bean and cheese burrito and the chili verde nachos. Everything was super hot and fresh, and hit the spot. The nachos had plenty of cheese and jalapeños. The burrito was great too, and I definitely didn’t get food poisoning the next day haha. Service was just okay, but what do you expect from fast food? Also the guy gave me a BUNCH of hot sauce packets.

I crave their Chicken Soft Tacos. I had to get my fix on a lazy Sunday night. They did not disappoint. I believe they are open until 10pm inside and then drive thru till 12am. I was happy to drive through and enjoy my Del Taco from the comfort of my own home.
Don’t forget that Taco Tuesdays you can get 3 hard tacos for around $ 1.50 and then Soft Taco Thursdays you can get 3 soft tacos for around $ 2.80. I gotta come back on a Thursday.
The drive thru service was quick and they gave us plenty of Mild and Scorcho sauce. The order came out as requested and the food was good. I don’t go to fast food often but I will choose Del Taco over a Taco Bell when I want cheap Mexican fast food.
They were also doing a special for $ 1 nachos, those were alright, but hard to complain when they’re only $ 1.
Chicken Soft Tacos!

After years of coming to this location, years of forgiving this place, my patience has ran out.
Dam this place for being so convenient and affordable for starving college students, but also dam this place for being unsanitary and inconsistent.
There’s nothing worse than eating your food and finding an ingredient that doesn’t belong! They seriously need to understand how disgusting it is when you find something in your food and have no idea what it is!
They also need to seriously wipe down their ice container near the drive thru window. Hello! We can see through the glass window and the black greasy lines in your ice bin just pops out and is clearly visible to us.
Even the fact that the bathroom is outside. Are we sure your hands are being washed? You have to touch the bathroom door handle, the outside store handle, and then the door handle to get back into the restaurant… I’ve never seen the sink inside the kitchen been used.
Yuck man.

Make sure to inform the person in the drive through if you have coupons before you get to the window. One worker got incredibly upset, and it was uncomfortable. I feared for spit in my food. They also forget food often. So check your bags.

The manager here is not doing a very good job and needs to be replaced it’s not the employees fault they’re just not getting trained properly. The regional manager needs to step in and do his job now. Three times now I have ordered items on the menu and they messed it up. The place is fithy inside and out and the employees are not following osha requirements for safety and hygiene.

This location has really gone downhill. The employees don’t know the basic menu, and ask the customer what comes in different combo meals! Check your order if you order a combo, it won’t have everything that comes with it, and you may have to remind them to give you your drink.
Order fries or hash browns? Better check your bag, they probably forgot after the third time you reminded them.

My husband and I have become regulars here. The staff is great and the food is always delicious. I love the Fresca bowl and the refried beans and lots of scorcho sauce!

Located in the same plaza as Zion, this Del Taco is best utilized for takeout as they don’t have an internal restroom. It’s not very big. They also don’t take American Express.
There is nothing noteworthy about this location. The seats are arranged in a very normal layout and the maximum occupancy is 70. It has a standardized drink dispenser. The food is fine and there were no problems with it during my visit. It came out quickly because there were very few other customers there. The only problem is driving around in the plaza.

I really like the friendly people who work here. The drive-​through is fast and efficient and they do a good job.
The main problem lies on the people who make the food at this location. To give you an example we ordered five bean burritos today they were cold, they barely had any red sauce on them and they just weren’t as good as they usually are. We ordered five crunchy tacos one of them had just lettuce and no cheese on it it was the weirdest thing. And finally we ordered two tostadas and they literally put half the amount of normal beans and a tiny bit of cheese it was the worst looking tostada I’ve ever seen I actually posted it to the pictures.
Why am I wasting time writing a review on Dell taco you ask? Well in high school I lived directly behind the Dell taco on Redhill in Tustin and it was like my home away from home I literally ate there five days a week. Del Taco is really the only fast food place I even eat or crave so I expect a certain level of quality and for some reason this location is very inconsistent. It really is a bummer.
P.s i’m still giving three stars because sometimes you come here and the food is great so it’s not like every time you go here it sucks
