Del Taco

I guess when you are really «hungry» and «thirsty» just about any kind of food will do. I always worry about heavily processed gas station style food anyway, you know, what is actually in the food you are about to bite into? But heck with enough hot sauce and high fructose soda it helps to smother out any questionable nuances. I just cross my fingers that the part time agitated looking employees don’t take anything out on my particular bean and cheese burrito. It is what it is. Del Taco has it’s moments. After a while most of this type of food all tastes about the same to me. It gives you just barely enough of what you need at the time.

This Del Taco location is right off of Boulder Hwy which makes it very convenient to pull off the street and cruise right up to the parking lot or drive-​thru entrance. On this day I got Del Taco’s Chicken Bacon Avocado Salad, I’ve had their burrito’s, taco’s, hamburger’s in the past so I wanted to try something different for a change. Needless to say I’m now a newly fan of their Chicken Bacon Avocado Salad. It was very delicious and prepare quite well for a popular fast food chain.
Most of the time when I go to Del Taco, maybe by luck, but I’m either usually the first one going through the drive-​thru or if I do have to wait it is not a long wait at all. This drive-​thru at this location is fairly speedy and have good customer service. I was greeted and treated good with condiments offered as I was departing. For these vary reasons I like going to this location. I’ve been to other Del Taco’s throughout the valley and this one seems to be the better one that serves well with a good experience. :two thumbs up:

Veggie burrito was great! Really appreciate that they make the beans vegetarian. Very reasonable and lots of other folks must like it too as the drive thru is always busy.

I’m not a fan of del tacos food but their strawberry shake os super delicious! Drive thru line was long and slow like always, but overall I love their shakes :)

One star was docked because the service was very slow. The food was okay and comparable to Taco Bell. They did have fresh avocado which was nice and delicious. I ordered their new chicken avocado bowl and it was decently cooked and seasoned. If I was in a rush, I might try them again but feel there are better options in the area.

1 ½−2 ish star. Only been here a few times in the late wee hours. The graveyard shift crew is a little iffy. Most of the time they look at you like you interrupted a game of freeze tag. The plaza it’s in is über creepy at night. I usually go for a late night breakfast burrito. I asked for sauce and napkins they said ok but behold none were to be had. The dude at the drive thru was too busy bullshitting with his pals. I’m surprised I got my change my back.

This was the most bizarre Del Taco experience I’ve ever had. I love love love Del Taco, as referenced in previous reviews. But a single employee ruined what should have been a nice quick lunch for me today.
As I sat down at the other end of the seating area, I immediately heard someone talking very loudly about homeless people. Random. I turned to look and it was an employee, presumably on break, talking across two tables to an elderly customer. I started to eat, and quickly realized this wasn’t going to get any better.
The employee talked LOUDLY for the next 20 minutes about how homeless people deserve to be homeless because of their choices, and she doesn’t give them money because she has her own family to feed, and how tax payers pay for the homeless.
Everyone’s entitled to their opinions, but having a crazy employee yelling across a restaurant was so unprofessional and rude. I ate as quickly as I could and left.

My experience here two days ago is most definitely biased because I arrived here after cycling for almost 5 hours in 30mph headwind. My husband and I decided to do a little bike tour (101 miles on Saturday and 80 miles on Sunday) and it turned out that Sunday was super windy, making what should have been a mellow, easy ride into some sort of sick cycling joke. Anyway, I think I almost cried tears of joy when we pulled into this Del Taco. The lady behind the counter was really nice and very interested in our trip, our burritos/​fries/​veggie bowl/​cookies/​Cokes (we were really hungry!) were all hot and salted well enough to satisfy our bodies’ craving for electrolytes. Ok, so Del Taco isn’t fine dining, but when you’re tired, hungry, and demoralized from fighting through stupid wind on your bicycle, comfort fast food does the trick. (The restroom was clean too, yay!)

I’ve had okay service here but, my dad is frustrated beyond words because they never get his order correct. This place is okay but, it looks very unsanitary and run down which is why I won’t return. It’s really gross to think food is being prepared in here even though it tastes gross. They need to do some major repairs on the building and clean it up because I’m scared of the thought of dining in there.

Better than Taco Bell, just not as cheap!!!

I very rarely eat at Del Taco, but today I had a craving for fish tacos and this was the closest place to get them.
The staff is always friendly and helpful when placing your order. However, the drive-​thru has to be the strangest I have been through. It’s a weird angle and a tight turn.
I am always confused by their menu — Mexican food and hamburgers? Huh? If it weren’t for the deluxe chili cheese fries, I would probably never eat here. And this was my first time trying their beer battered fish tacos. They were decent, especially for the price. But not the best I’ve ever had.
Overall, this place is A-​OK. Nothing spectacular, especially with a brand new, 24 hour Robertos just down the road…

I am not impressed with their food, Taco Bell is far better.

chile cheese fries deluxe are recomeneded!

If I was stuck on a desert island with just one menu to eat from it would be from Del taco.
God only knows how many times I have eaten chicken soft tacos, quesadillas with extra green sauce and 99 cent red burritos with extra cheese.
As for this location…
Never had any problems with the drive-​thru. As far a presentation and packaging for the meal it was good as good gets a going through a drive-​thru. This is the reason for the three star rating.
As for dining on the inside, well that’s another story… I won’t do it again.
On a recent outing I stopped in to have lunch. Retrieved my order and went to sit down to eat. It was then that I noticed the tweaker sitting there with no food charging his cell phone on an outlet in the dining area. He left shortly via the back door shortly after I started eating.
Next was a vagrant that snuck in via the back door. He tried sneaking up to the drink machine to fill some jug that he had brought in with him. Some how someone in the back noticed him. They told him to leave and he did cursing them out as he left through the back door.
That back door is not safe, it’s dangerous, don’t eat inside!
