This place should be renamed dilemma. You really need to order ahead for safety purposes, and I don't mean going through the drive thru vs. eating in. But if you order ahead through Yelp, you will most likely pay more since the windows are peppered with deals you don't get without ordering at the location. Hence the dilemma. $20 for nachos with extra cheese and two tacos is a bit steep but it was really good. As soon as I pulled up to the window my food was ready. Good thing because there were people sleeping on the ground by the drive thru window and purposely coming around the back of the building to confront customers. I'm not familiar with the area but this was really uncomfortable. I don't know why the business in the area aren't more proactive. But again, I don't frequent these locations. Overall, good food. Ridiculously sketchy area. I'll not be back to the Del Taco anytime soon. read more

Great food and service!!! I just wish I wasn't harassed by all the junkies out front of your establishment... that makes the setting uncomfortable while waiting for your food. Also, more ingredients in the tacos on taco Tuesday, please. read more

Del Taco 898 - a sign for del taco - Fast Food Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

This location has very bad service and they gave incorrect order. I got all the way home and realized that they gave me the wrong order so I had to drive all the way back during rush hour. Is there is always homeless people around here and asking for money . Is very sketchy parking lot with the motel right behind it. read more

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiid my family was happy, I don't know what all the negativity is about but this baby was banging, so much so that my mom asked me if we had one in Texas and unfortunately the one remaining closed not too long ago. So anywho, fresh off our first leg back home from Vegas we were staying close by and needed something good and hot before turning in for the night. Del Taco did not disappoint. The kids had the queso nachos and my mom and I had regular crunchy tacos, now I don't know if we were just hungry after a long day of driving and eating junk food or this place was truly hitting?!? Whatever the case may be, Del hit the spot! If I ever get near a DT again, I'm game! read more

This is the worst Del Taco that I have ever been in, we went through the drive-thru and my son placed the order for my food (green burrito with extra green sauce, med fries and a mini chocolate shake) which he had to repeat 3 times, he ordered for himself a #1 with a Dr. pepper and no tomatoes, he only had to repeat the no tomatoes part 2 times. What we got was a green burrito without extra sauce, soggy fries and tacos with tomatoes. Didn't try the drink, so it could have possibly been Dr. Pepper. read more

We went on a Sunday morning. Didn't expect much, our order was large and varied (from hamburgers to multiple quesadillas, to fries and burritos), and the reviews for this location are all over the place. We got the BEST meal from Del Taco that we have ever had. It was so good! Hot, fast, obviously fresh. Where we live, we used to have Del Taco, but they have all closed. We haven't had it for about ten years. It was an awesome surprise to have such a good experience after waiting so long. read more

I can't even begin to start first off there is hella homeless ppl smoking blues out side then I got harassed by two ladies and I asked them multiple times to leave me alone and they didn't . And the service here is horribly slow and the worker tonight was the rudest person I have ever met. I will never come back here. read more

Just moved to the city and was very excited for this del taco. Food was good. Drive through will be easily a 30 minute wait but it's fine because you get a free show of about 15 junkies selling and shooting up heroine. :) oh and they will forget some items so just make sure to pull around to the front and call them to bring it out. You don't wanna deal with the crack heads in front of the door. 10/10 would never recommend. read more

Actually for fast food they are quite good and the service is very nice ppl. Which is why I come here. The fish tacos are the beer-battered bomb and along with the slaw mixture they add & sauce all wrapped up in a nice warm corn tortilla =Yum!! Also be sure to try the highly caloric straw-shake ...if I keep this up no boys be comin to my yard Oh! & the straw-lemonade! I'm salivating as I type this & just had it! read more

Del Taco 898 - the outside of a del taco restaurant - Fast Food Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Little bit of a rough area, but food was amazing as expected! Come to Texas Del Taco!

A run for the border was in order. So drop the Chalupa and read! I grew up on eating TB as a kid in the 60's & 70's so I still got a soft spot for her in my heart. So from time to time hit this TB as its one of the newer better cleaner ones! Although the old mission style TB's are cool too. So I went to try some new TB offerings. And I would have made Glen Bell proud! FOOD ORDERED: Chicken Soft Taco yelp.com/biz_photos/aOym... Big Meal box ... Includes Doritos Taco, Burrito Supreme, Beef Taco yelp.com/biz_photos/aOym...

The standout here is the Doritos Taco with its full bodied taste and its own holster to make sure it stays intact. yelp.com/biz_photos/aOym... 4****Stars. Taco & Burrito Supreme 3*** Stars But did you know that Taco Bell was the base of a much larger fast food tree? Founder Glen Bell started up much like several other of the big chains with a hot dog stand Bell's Drive In, in San Bernardino the home of the MCDONALD Brothers who's started a year later. He almost left the business in 1956 selling his stand, but quickly started another selling hot dogs but this time he added chili dogs. The chili would later morph in to the taco sauce of today. He was one to experiment and soon was selling tacos with his pre- made shells, the first to do so. The tacos took off fast. Soon he was ready for the then named Taco Tia #2 in Barstow. So he promised young Ed Hackbarth that he would eventually lease the stand to him if he would move out to Barstow and run it. Ed took over the stand, and later was to build many more as the founder of DEL TACO. The Tacos took off fast and Glen added 3 more in San Bernardino, Redlands, the next 2 years. But when Glen's partner Ed was not in favor of expanding Taco Tia into Los Angeles, Glen sold him his interest in the restaurants. And about that time he talked John Galardi a friend into venturing out on his own and Glen's wife Martha Bell, provided a name for the new enterprise, "DER WEINERSCHNITZEL," and helped John develop the menu. Starting over once again in 1958 Glen partnered up with others to form the EL TACO chain, it was very successful with its flagship in Long beach and 7 more opening within 9 months. But Glen wasn't satisfied and sold the EL TACO's to his partners in 1962. He then went on to open the first TACO BELL in Downey. He sold 40 shares for $100ea to family and soon was opening more restaurants and in 1969 the shares were split 30000 to 1 as TACO BELL went public. It continued to prosper and grow and by 1978 the store had amassed to a whopping 868. It was at this time that Bell sold the business to PEPSI CO who later added PIZZA HUT and KFC to spinoff GLOBAL FOODS later to become YUM FOODS a company worth billions.

We just went through the drive up and ordered 2 combo meals. Tacos and fries were delicious, but this is what I got as a quesadilla! It was burned so bad I could smell the burned tortilla before I even opened the wrapping ! I understand there are accidents that happen, but when this happens, you apologize and let the customer know that it will be a couple of minutes to make a fresh one, not wrap it up anyway and hope it's too inconvenient for them to drive back! I am not making the trip back to take something back that obviously shouldn't have been given to me in the first place! That's a waste of my time. Could have been 5 stars without this mess! read more

Del Taco 898 - Cheddar Quesadilla??? - Fast Food Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Real unadulterated beef in the tacos, unlike the protein remix at Taco Bell that leaves me with indigestion every time!! The folks were friendly, efficient and the food was hot, fresh and made to order. What else can you ask for of a fast food taco diner??? Highly recommend for that late night snack or a quick meal. Just don't forget to ask for the jalapeños and or hot sauce as they don't always remember to ask you... Go and enjoy!!! read more

I went in earlier and ordered there new quesadilla snacker without cheese and my daughter loved it so much she wanted more so i sent my husband to get her 3 more and the manager Jose refused to make it stating that they cannot do it without cheese and is handcrafted with cheese and cannot be made ....what ? They did it 3 hrs earlier and made my daughter so happy and now they cannot? Wow I won't be returning and I called to voice mg opinion and he wanted to argue with me about why they cannot do that. So I guess you can't revise your food as needed because its handcrafted as it is. Very disappointed with how this was handled. My daughter was pretty she liked it so much. read more

Doesn't matter what I say or what people say I've always been a fan of Del Taco. So yes I will return, to this location not always but it's closer to me so well read more

Good food but it was like one person was working there, took ten minutes to get some tacos.

Unsafe! The manager of the store was preparing food with her cell phone on the food prep area. She claimed she didn't know there was a problem with that. read more

Del Taco 898 - two women preparing food in a restaurant kitchen - Fast Food Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

For a fast food, Americanized taco place, the food wasn't bad. It's comparable to Taco Bell, but I'd say that the ingredients were a little fresher. I was worried after previous reviews, and although the food was definitely not superb, it was just fine. I tried a hard taco, a cheese quesadilla (which was a little oily) and I tasted a bite of an Epic Fajita burrito. read more

Nasty food. Not even close to real food and very slow service. I would not recommend coming here, especially since they put french fries in there epic burrito what is epic about that? Taco bell is way better then this. read more

Fast service, vying for fastest fast food service in this area. The cuisine is typical fast food but perfectly acceptable. The prices are very good, possibly better than the bigger national fast food chains. This location is always clean, large seating area so there its always easy to get a good table. The staff is friendly, although they don't always know which items to recommend of their menu, but then again, its fast food so its not that big a deal. There is a drive through and they are open 24 hours a day. read more
