Del Taco

I’ve almost always had good food and service here — a difficult thing to deliver consistently at the same fast food location. Staff is not the friendliest, but usually efficient and tries hard to speak understandable English. The Mexican cashier with the 10×3 inch tattoo of California behind his right ear always creeps me out a little bit though. But hey, he’s in the right industry. Amazing that there is actually legislation passing in various parts of this cesspool of a country to award people in rote, entry level positions with a $ 15/​hr wage. I digress. Go grab a few chicken soft tacos at this location.

The name of the so-​called «steak and potato» burrito should be changed to the gristle and french fry burrito. It was so awful I gave it to the dog. It literally was some form of tough meat and french fries wrapped in a tortilla.

I don’t know why Del Taco doesn’t get better reviews than it does? When your stuck on the East Coast with Taco Bell, this is fast food Mexican manna sent from the heavenly El Chapo gods themselves! I absolutely love the beer battered fish tacos that are crunchy, warm, topped with lettuce, and a avocado cream! Wrapped in foil with a lime wedge and your in some remote Mexican village eating some kinda goodness! The prices are all very reasonable and not a overwhelming menu! You’ll have your standard tacos, along with some seasonal specials their running. If you can ever catch the carnitas taco, hit the manager over the head and take off with every one he’s got! This southern gentleman is loving some Del Taco!

This is the Del Taco located on Sunset Road, directly across the street from the Galaxy Luxury Theater.
On the way to go see Avengers: Age of Ultron last night (fun, fun movie, btw), we stopped by here to grab some burritos to sneak into the theater. (*Shhhhhhhh, don’t tell anyone*)
We pull up, ordered 2 Del Beef Burritos and were told to pull forward. Cool. Just as we were pulling forward, the girl who took our order says, «It’s gonna be a while»
Wait. what?
We pulled forward with one vehicle in front of us. We wait… and wait… and wait. After 12 minutes I notice that it appears that the vehicle in front of us is not pulled up to the window. In fact, it is about 5 feet BEHIND the window. There were four twenty something males in the car. So I approached the vehicle and said, «Hey…what’s going on here?»
They explained that they were told to back up from the window from the girl inside and that they were as annoyed as I was because they had waited almost 15 minutes for 3 cheeseburgers. They offered to pull up if they didnt get their burgers in the next few minutes so we could get out of there.
At the 16 minute mark of my wait, the guys in front of me get their order and pull off. I pulled up and paid for the burritos expecting to just grab the bag and go. After all, previews have now started for our movie.
The girl collects the money and closes the window and walks off. I looked at my friend and literally said, «Are you F*cking kidding me??» This is about 18 minutes in.
I had had enough. I told the girl to give me my money back. This was BEYOND rediculous. By the time I pulled away it was 23 minutes. 23 MINUTES! Nothing fast about this food at all!
When I first pulled up to order, she should have said they were having issues and that there would be a long wait. I would have backed out and been on my merry little way. Slipping in a «It’ll be a while» as you pull forward does not cut the mustard.
THESE are the people that want $ 15 an hour??? Are you out of your flippin’, ever loving minds?
Never again. That $ 28 soda and popcorn is much more appealing than going through this again. Hell, a root canal sounds more enticing.
1 star.

Decided to hit the drive-​through here just a couple nights ago. Never got a chance to leave a review till now. But I was honestly truly impressed. As far as it being so late and it’s fast food does the customer service was exceptional. The young man helping me, I wish I would’ve got his name, really knew what it meant to perform great customer service. Made my night and it was much appreciated.

The employees here must be from the bottom of the gene pool. Simple tasks seem to confuse them and halt all operations. What’s really scary is that these «hard working» fast food workers think their worth $ 15 a hour. LOL
Do yourself a favor and keep driving past this location.

honestly worst fast food place out there, if I could give this place a 0 star I would. yeah it may be «real Mexican» but it’s absolute trash. I asked for cheese fries, and what they gave me were terrible soggy fries with cold shredded cheese, I was so displeased that I 1.) paid over $ 4 for them. but 2.) that when I tried to return them, the manager gave me sass and replied «umm we Dom have a microwave» because I wanted them melted. so unprofessional and will never be returning to any del taco again.

I love Del Taco, and this location is near my house so I go there quite often. The staff is friendly, almost comically sometimes, and my food is usually done quickly with no errors. Thank you!

BEWARE. Went there to eat and the manager was very angry when I walked in. After ordering food and sitting down to eat, the POLICE showed up about 10 minutes later and I had to leave. The manager is very bitter and arrogant. Better to go elsewhere.

Delicious food, it’s truly hard to go wrong with their menu. Would be great if they expanded their breakfast hours (like, expand to 24 hours!), but that’s not an issue specific to this location.
This location is notorious FOR SCREWING UP YOUR ORDER. It’s a running joke at work and with friends. Check your bag, check your bag. If you use coupons, prepare for a fight if you go into the store. Assistant managers seem incapable of making even the most basic of decisions so if the coupon doesn’t spell things out step by step, they will become confused and refuse a simple accommodation like «Green sauce instead of red».
There was a Taco Bell right in the same parking lot, it was heaven to have them both side by side. I’d go into Taco Bell and get a buffalo chicken griller and eat it right in front of the employees while I waited for my spicy chicken burrito. I was the envy of the day. If I had to pick, I’d rather have Del Taco so I don’t miss Taco Bell much.

I like Del Taco for a quick bite to eat, I usually go to the drive thru at the one by my work on Maryland/​Tropicana which there is friendly and competent staff. This one is on my way home so thought I would grab a quick burrito, the woman at the window was so bad I just left, but I gave it one more try yesterday on my way home, I specifically asked for an item when I got home it was left out, so I will not be back. They need to hire competent people, maybe high school students, I’m sure they would do a better job. I will not return even if they say the 3^rd time is a charm NOT when it comes to what I’m going to eat :/

I don’t care if Del taco is just a fast food joint. This is one of my favorite restaurants and one of those places that just makes me feel like I’m home. Yes the service usually sucks, and yes about 30% of the time they screw up my order, but as long as the fries are hot, everything is ok.

Wanted to give this place 5 stars to manipulate the average rating into being a bit higher. Couldn’t live with myself.
It’s nothing special in and of itself. The parking lot is a bit awkward to enter if you’re traveling west on Sunset because you have to circle around almost back to the street. The seating is awkwardly designed as compared to other locations. I figure they probably inherited this place from somebody else. Also, the interior was renovated a few months ago and they do have sufficient service and condiments and whatnot.
I definitely don’t mind stopping by here every so often because it’s a convenient lunch spot.

Saw all the commercials and thought I’d try it. HORRIBLE! I had the chicken taco which should be hard to mess up but boy did they. The taco was so greasy and the chicken was chewy. The «toppings» were not good and after eating it I felt sick. I have never returned to a Del Taco anywhere else and do not plan to. I had to give it a star so I can post but otherwise I would not give it anything.
