Del Taco

One of my favorite places to come just for the crinkle cut fries. I really don’t care for anything else on the menu. Just tell them to make you fresh one.

This location is awesome! They allow you walk through the drive through late at night when the inside of the store is closed. Unlike most fast food places!

Pig sty where pigs lie. This place is G R O S S ! Dirty, filthy place, bathrooms are disgusting, flours grimy The Owner obviously has low level of pride in his product. He seems to want to cater to a lower standard of everything it feels.

They make an awesome Taco salad!!! Their née Potato poppers are great. There drive-​thru service is always A-​1… I eat here at least twice a month, always fresh and tasty.

So I was initially planning on going to Panera Bread over on the other side of the parking lot, but there was a ridiculous line in there. Fearing I wouldn’t get back to work in time for my meeting I hiked back in this direction and ended up here at Del Taco for lunch. In my car, amongst some other fast food coupon sheets, I happened to have a partially used sheet of Del Taco coupons.
Perusing the remaining offers, I clumsily tore out a square worth a dollar off a combo meal. As I entered the place I took a moment to look around. My memory recalled this place. While the place is clean enough, it does seem like it has been here a great while. The bathrooms are on the outside of the building; and look like they require tokens to unlock the door. The place seems faded somehow. As I looked up at the menu board, I scanned for the combo meals, and the meal that consisted of two chicken tacos, fries & a drink for $ 5.10 caught my attention. Since I do enjoy Del Taco’s chicken tacos, I placed an order with the nice girl behind the register. Nice girl asked if medium drink & fries were good, and I agreed.
Turns out these combo things normally come with small sides, and I had unwittingly just agreed to an upsell. Since the total ended up being just five dollars, I was okay with the slight adjustment. Now I know. Nice girl asked me if I wanted my receipt, and I nodded and smiled and waited for her to print it out. I took it, and headed back to a table. Many tables were empty. There weren’t that many people inside. I sat down, and resumed a game of Dig Dug I had started up while waiting at the Dentist Tuesday night.
After dying a few times, my game ended, and shortly afterwards, my number was called. Perfect timing. I walked up to the counter, picked up my tray and looked at my meal. Wow. Medium is actually kinda big. I’m not complaining, just noting. As I filled up my cup with iced tea, I decided that for future reference, a small will be plenty (and 55 cents cheaper!). I walked back to my table, and set the tray down. I arranged the food for its pre-​consumption photograph. After immortalizing the tacos on digital film, I dug in.
The tacos were as good as I remembered. A Soft tortilla, grilled chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, lettuce & their savory secret sauce blended to make a tasty chicken taco. I demolished both in little time. I then dumped the fries on the taco-​wrapping paper. One by one I snapped them up. They were good. Quite even possibly superior to some other fries I’ve had at fast food places. Not as greasy as most. Enjoyable. I wondered how long it had been since I’d enjoyed Del Taco fries. The Iced tea was also good. Freshly brewed and completely devoid of the ‘Simi Funk’.
I practiced my origami skills, and I folded the taco-​wrapping papers into neat little boulders. I placed my Japanese paper-​art into the empty fry cup and tossed the whole thing in the trash on my way out. While this location is antiquated, Del Taco still makes the same quality meals that I enjoy at the newer, ‘Fancy Del Taco’.
Good job, I’ll more than likely enjoy this Del Taco again.

I just moved to this beautiful town from Oklahoma and I had never eaten at Del Taco before or even seen one… A friend of mine here loves it so they couldn’t wait to take me… I can see why people would like it. The prices are very low. The food is served very quickly and for the most part the people are helpful and friendly. The only downside is it has a VERY limited Menu. I got bored with the menu after the second time I went there. Also, a lot of the really super cheap menu items are disgusting! But, the taco’s are cheap and good either soft or crispy :)

Open late and always great. I’ve satisfied many a 2am taco jones at this drive through while pulling an all-​nighter for work. They always get the order right, and the quality is always exactly as expected.
As with any fast food though, just don’t expect to eat here and NOT regret it later. :D

Don’t come here if your expecting any customer service. I stood waiting for my food and watched/​listened to the manager criticize every teen that she announced order and her tyrant didn’t end there. When it was my turn to get my order I politely asked for a water cup which she rudely denied for the possibility that I could fill it with so, I did not want soda and my order was to go. Wtf. I continued to demand a water cut which she then gave it to me once security was there to escort me out the door. This is no way to treat a customer let alone should a manager be saying rude things about customers who purchase from them.

I am a big fan of Del Taco, especially since I found out you can get breakfast burritos after 11pm!

It is within walking distance of my house! Always the cheapest and most open.

Cheap, quick way to satisify my taco craving. No issues with their drive thru service during the lunch rush. Thank you!

Drum roll…
why 4 stars?
THE EXPERIENCE.
This Del Taco is well known in Simi by the late nighters drunk and high and ready to eat.
Aside from being good fattening cheap space food, love the fries, it is a people watching extravaganza.
Any time from 11pm-​2am– get ready for a show.
