Del Taco

I only came here to purchase a breakfast item for my friend. Not really into this types of fast food. It located in a great location, just not very popular at the time of my food purchase.

I pulled into the drive thru on Sunday, Nov. 22, 2015 at 8:30am to find it closed. However, employee Beverly was walking around inside. I parked and went to the front door to wait. Beverly opened up around 8:45am. When I asked what happened, she was so rude with her response I can’t post it. I left and went away sad and disappointed that somebody would talk to me like she did.

If you’ve read any of my reviews, what I most seek in any food, in every meal, is flavor. Flavor is the key and while this sounds obvious, often times it’s not.
The food at Del Raco is bland. I can’t express that any better: it’s bland and it’s boring.
The hit sauce isn’t hot OR flavorful. Taco Bell’s hot sauce has much more flavor.
I’m always looking for fast food flavor… and Del taco isn’t it.
I ate in this Del Taco location about a week ago: beef burrito, beef taco; it didn’t suck, just not enough FLAVOR!
And the remedy, near as I can tell is NOT any restaurant in Phoenix ending in «…erto’s», like Roberro’s, Fibverto’s…they’re bland (or worse) too.

The worst customer service experience possible. Not sure how to explain the lack of fortitude or the service of employees who do not give s shit. After working a late shift the Bf and i where excited to make a late night run to Del Taco, 6 miles out of our way.
First we order fries and fish tacos and «Julio» told us that the fryers were down for cleaning and we could not order anything fried they offered. Being kinda dead set on our cravings we asked when the fryers would be available to make our food… Julio said 20 minutes. Having traveled all this way, hungry and tired we ordered crunchy tacos while we waited for the fryers to be cleaned,
Crunchy tacos were delivered cold and thrown together! Stale tasteless cheese and meat surrounded by a cold shell… All the while we sit in the parking lot and watch three cars go through the service line without an issue. Now were kinda pissed, We wait the appropriate 20 minutes for the fryers to be «cleaned». We go back through the drive through and try to place our order. Again we are met by Julio, he says again that we cannot order anything because they are still cleaning the fryers and are now closing… 25 minutes early!
We ask what we can order and are suggested to order more tacos and crunchy tacos… and guess what? THEY’RE STILL STALE!
The soft tacos are so cold that the tortilla is inedible…
I understand that you may not have the best of jobs or even life your job, but that is not an excuse for lies and closing shop early. Those actions speak volumes of the type of employeez Del Taco is willing to hire or want to represent the company.
No longer willing to go out of my way for this company

Tuesday night is taco night! Thirty-​nine cent tacos that can’t be beaten for the price. Admittedly, cheap tacos aren’t a great selling point for your average Unilocal foodie, but they are heaven on earth for the four and five year olds who typically accompany me to Del Taco. These picky eaters ate four and two tacos respectively on our last visit and split a churro for dessert.
Sure, the tacos are a bit small, but they are surprisingly good quality. Much less greasy than your typical Taco Bell beef taco. Also great the way the restaurant places a basket of assorted taco sauce on each table. I’m not a fan of much of the rest of the menu, but Del Taco nicely fills the «cheap Tuesday night out» niche for our family.

It’s Del Taco — I expect dirty, delicious tacos, fries that I’m certain are clogging arteries and cheesecake bites that melt in the mouth. I got exactly what I expected.
Store was clean, cashier was friendly and the food was served up quick. It’s definitely a step up from Taco Hell. If you go in expecting anything other than the afore mentioned things, you’ll be disappointed. If you order something other than tacos from a place called «Del Taco,» you’ll also be disappointed.
Overall: A–
The location is a bit off the beaten path of places to go, but it’s clean, staff is friendly and sometimes you just want a dirty taco and fries!

This location is in an area of town that I don’t frequent too often. However, sometimes I get a craving for one of their menu items and I will make the drive to satisfy that craving… which is what I did the other week.
I ordered my usual Veggie Works Burrito and Bean Burrito.
While I was waiting for my order, I noticed a Claw Machine in the corner! This Claw phenomenon is all over the place now… LOL
The food is average Del Taco food and came out fast.

Well, if you are old enough, you might remember Avis Car Rental’s slogan; «We Try Harder» In many ways, that could describe Del Taco.
Taco Bell has been trying to improve it’s image recently, by updating it’s menu items with offerings from «Chef Lorena Garcia’s authentic Latin recipe». So you might think they are taking Chipotle seriously. Oh contraire mon frere! I believe they see Del Taco in their rear-​view mirror.
Over the last couple of years, Del Taco has been upgrading their menu items, too. It’s not just a taco place. Besides Mexican inspired food items, they also sell cheeseburger (single, double and triple), shakes, potato poppers, crinkle cut fries, as well as chili fries. So, they are closer to Carl’s Jr Green Burrito, than Taco Bell.
Another difference, is their reliance on Text Messaging to send you coupons, or specials. Here are some recent examples: «Get a free small fries w/​any Crispy Shrimp Taco or burrito purchase.» Or, «It’s Taco Tuesday @ Del Taco starts @ 3pm. Get 3 regular tacos for $ 1.09 3pm till 11pm.» Taco Bell is more focused on Facebook to get their message out. How passé.
The food at Del Taco is good and seem reasonably priced as compared to any of the other taco or burger boys. They also serve breakfast, which is very good. This location is near The Home Depot. It is clean, friendly enough and the line moves fast. What else could you ask for in a fast food joint?
I’ve posted two Tips which you might want to try. First, use the Microsoft Tag scanner App on your phone to become part of Del Taco’s email Club. Second, «Text Club» to 60 259 to join Del Taco’s text club for food and special offers.
So in summary, Del Taco is Three Stars, A-​OK

Nothing special about this place — made me kinda sick after I ate here. If you want mexican, this place just doesn’t come close to good ‘ol Taco Bell.

This place is roughly 4mi from my house so it’s not convenient, and it is right across the street from 24hr subway so I don’t go here often enough when I’m over here for late night food, but I love their cheap tacos and their 99cent churros. Never had a problem as far as customer service goes, the staff is friendly unlike most McDonald’s and Jack in the boxes. Would recommend somebody to go here for cheap mexican food, I actually prefer their cheap tacos to Taco Bell’s 89cent tacos

I know. It’s Del Taco. But it was so good. I’m tired, hungover and not in the mood to sit in a restaurant and be around people today. Our drive-​through order was perfect and error free. They gave us lots of napkins and a mountain of Del Scorcho sauce. Food was hot, fresh and just what we expected. Now I can nap with a full and happy tummy.

When i used to get off at midnight I’d go here. almost every time the tacos were messed up and thrown together, order messed up multiple times.

Best hangover food on the planet! Their Macho Beef Burrito is fantastic! I like all of their Mexican items as well, but the burgers and American fare is just OK, nothing to talk about one way or another. Its clean and bright inside if you decided to dine in.
