Del Taco

Arrived at the drive-​in order line at 3:46, and there was a very long-​winded discussion between the driver of a white. SUV at the window that went on until 4:16. WhO knows WHEN the conversation actually started.
Maybe I’m expecting too much, but at a certain point, the manager should have the customers which are having such complex problems to come inside the restaurant.
The young woman who handed me my change just dumped my change into the palm of my hand with a 23-​mph wind blowing past the pick-​up window. My change is probably still headed north in the blustery storm winds.
The food was stone-​cold by the time we got home with it.
Not a good day to go to Del Taco.

Taco al car bone is gone. They were my fav taco truck style tacos. Now you have street tacos and they are nasty! The chile on them is not good IMO. Please bring them back. PLEASE

Standiford Road has a Del Taco, and so does Sylvan, except that they’re merely different sections of the same physical road. This one is further east of Beyer Park, while the other is at Carver Road.
They each have some outdoor seating and a play area. Service was friendly, and I ordered my (so usual) Fire-​Roasted Veggie Bowl (given that it’s the only veggie bowl, why do I have to say «Fire-​Roasted» in a movie announcer’s voice, to boot? I added taco meat.
My buddy ordered bean and cheese burritos and fries. I love their fries!
They take a little while to finish an order and the drive-​thru was busy anyway, so we waited about what we expected – longer than a burger place, less than Taco Smell where you need vacation time.
The food was hot and tasted fresh. They were cleaning the dining room as we ate, which was great to see. (I have some doubts at other places if they ever clean at night. After all, at 11 a.m., should a place without a breakfast menu have a dirty dining room?)
If they went over the top, it would have been rated at 5 stars but it was a good experience.

I normally like this restaurant (Standiford/​Carver-​Modesto) and the food and usually get good service but the other night I went through the drive thru and thought I was being overpriced… so had «Amanda» remove some fish tacos that weren’t 2-​for-​$ 3~ (according to her) to which she gave me sass over, then when I politely asked for my receipt, to make sure I wasn’t being overcharged, she refused to give me it! I asked her to get the manager to help her and with an attitude she said he wasn’t there but that she could write down what I ordered… which does me no good since I don’t know what I was charged on my card. I asked her name and said I’d be contacting her manager and she goes «OK OK I’ll get your receipt…» and grumbled and gave an insincere apology or two… The food wasn’t that great either, I think the macho nacho had been sitting around awhile… the chips were mushy and the toppings were dried out. Very disappointing! They need to hire some young people with manners…

All the reviews seem to address the tastey food, which I won’t deny the FOOD at Del Taco is great, however the service is TERRIBLE. I’ve never had a ‘5 Star’ experience at this particular location. The staff is irritating, and often times, they have no clue how to do their jobs. Perhaps because they spend their time mouthing off in the kitchen and behaving like they’re attending a social event rather than being at work. I believe in having fun at work during downtime, but to a certain extent. My first bad experience here; I was sitting in the lobby, and over heard a child (child 1) in the play area say something offensive to another child (child 2). The mother of child 2 went to complain to management because there was no parent with child 1. It turns out the manager (a hispanic male) was using his work as a daycare. I understand that times are hard, but I wonder how corporate or HR would feel about this guy abusing his power at work, by turning the play area into his own private daycare. Also, I have yet to receive precisely everything I order in the drive-​thru. I’ve complained twice about this, and it continued to happen until I finally stopped going here.
If you’re ever in the area, and are looking for a place to eat, I’d suggest you go to the Burger King across the parking lot. If you have no standards, and don’t mind the irritating staff or terrible mariachi music, then this may be the place for you.

So… I went to the Del taco today, and when I got there, the first thing I did was head to the bathroom to wash my hands. Normally when I go to wash my hands, I’m afraid. Not to wash my hands mind you, but of the the bathroom. That’s right, public domain restrooms, are not places that I really would want to rest in, but this bathroom, was DIFFERENT. The bathroom was spotless, there was soap, TP, butt gaskets (seat covers), and adequate paper towels and the biggest… dare I even go there, because it’s rare, but IT SMELLED AWESOME!!! This is early evening too. So, I washed my hands and went to the counter. Right away we were greeted and our order taken, THE RIGHT WAY! I went to the play area, as we had 2 kids with us. A school age, under 10, and a toddler, aged 1 ½. I grabbed a high chair, and realized it was sticky. I went up to the counter and asked if they had disinfectant wipes, and the guy that took my order said no. I told him that I had wanted to cleanse the high chair of its stickiness, and he said, «Oh give me a second and I’ll do it for you» I thought he was going to dawdle but he grabbed a clean rag, put hot water and soap, and followed me to the play area, and clean the chair. he also decided to do a quick control wipe of all the empty tables, and went back into the lobby. I looked around and saw that the whole play area was clean, EXCEPT… I noticed that he missed a spot… as I looked under the table next to me, and found… a Dollar! I pocketed my prize, and went and got the food. We ate, and the food was awesome. My only regret, is that my toddler daughter left a mess. As we were leaving however, I saw him in there cleaning up! I would totally recommend this Del taco, or at least while he is on shift. So it gets full marks from me, and this is a big rarity, as I am not afraid to leave scathing remarks on a comment card, regarding shoddy service… AFTER I’ve eaten of course… I’m no fool, I know better than to mess with people who fix my food… and this was before I watched waiting. lol

extremely dirty play place, why even have one? if they care less about your kids of course they care less what you eat!

This Del Taco has a great indoor play area for the kids, so I’m a huge fan! They also have yummy funnel cake «fries».

i was gonna give this a 4, but i just love this tooo much. quesidillas are DELICIOUS… tacos are EVEN BETTER. but i hear the fries with nacho cheese are legendary. go support
just made myself hungry xP

The crunchy tacos are a little too greasy imo but they are hella good! i always get the fries too. i dont know why? tacos and fries make no sense but the french fries are crinkly cut and not greasy.
