Next to In-N-Out, Del Taco is still my favorite So Cal based fast food stop, but wow is it getting difficult to remain a fan.
Del Taco used to be fast, fresh, tasty and a great value but that just is not the case today. I understand that costs have increased across the board but it’s difficult to defend Del Taco as a “good value” anymore. Today I ordered a bean burrito with red sauce at $2.19. I asked to add green sauce, lettuce and tomato. Each of those cost an additional .49, adding $1.47 to the cost of a bean burrito. You would think for the extra charge, there would at least be a decent amount of lettuce and tomato added. Nope. The portion of beans was nothing to write home about, anyway. Almost $4 for a really skimpy burrito. I also ordered two beer-battered fish tacos which are now priced $3.29 each. Wow. Gone are the days of “2 for $4” but again, at this price, I expected more. The fish was past its fresh date and the tacos were thrown together like they were made on the back of a bucking bronco. A mess. I know that good help is hard to find, especially today, but come on, it’s a taco. Only thing that passed muster was the Del Taco. Even that is now $2.29. It’s a .99 taco at best. The “small” drink was $2.99. So I paid over $16 for a less-than-satisfying lunch. Not a great value. It would be a lot easier to swallow if the food had been the delicious tasty reasonably nutritious meal that I’ve come to expect from Del Taco. I don’t know what changed here, but the food just doesn’t taste the same. It’s not great. Unfortunately, it seems this is the case with most fast-food joints today. The food is no longer fast, tasty or a good deal. I really don’t know how they plan to stay in business if this continues to be the trend.
Response to “owner’s response”: yes, just what I want to do - spend more money on overpriced garbage food and mediocre service so I can “earn” more of it “for free”. LOL!
Your response, which reads like it was written by a bot, is indicative of why this location is failing. You have a very high ratio of poor reviews and in each instance you make excuses for your failure. You do not represent the brand well and I wouldn’t be surprised if corporate revokes your franchise.

Got there at 9:45pm on a Friday night and were greeted by personnel outside the door stating they close at 8pm every night of the year, including the drive thru....looked up the hours as we drove away, and turns out that was untrue.

I'm from Southern California and I would normally eat del Taco at least once or twice a week. I was very happy to see a Del Taco up here in the northwest! Add 2 1/2 lb bean and cheese burritos with extra green sauce and extra cheese accompanied with del scorcho and mild sauce.
Its a Del Taco, hard to give a raving review but it was good, The dude at the window was an ex fire chief or shrimp boat captain or some shi, but it was amusing.

We have tried to go here several times and the lobby is locked every time. I can’t believe this place is even still opened.

Never greeted by 3 employees, refused service, yelled at. Didn't even care my children were crying for food.
