    Del Taco - East Main
    Les R.

    Everyday can be Taco Tuesday for me. I have been meaning to update my review. Last several visits have been really good. Inside, cleaner store, and good service. Food portions are good with tacos full. Definitely a solid location and staffing improvements. I have pretty much switched to Del Taco based on pricing and affordability, but hey, it tastes good too!

    The beef taco.  Not a fan.

    I'll split this into two reviews, as I've gone twice in the last 48 hours. I'll preface it by stating that the key here is to not compare this restaurant to its main competitor, who shall remain nameless (bell sounds in the background). The service: My first visit was the night before last in the very late evening. My wife and I sat in the drive-through, waiting for an extended period of time as we stared at the one car at the window. After upwards of 5 minutes, I called out, "Hello?" to the 2-way speaker, much to the wife's disagreement. She knew that I knew that the attendant knew we were there. I playfully did it as a way to remind the person that they should have at least greeted us with something like, "Welcome to Del Taco. Please take a moment to look over the menu and I'll be with you in a moment." Note: Acknowledge your customer's presence and don't keep them guessing. After another 20 seconds, a voice replied, "I'll be with you in a minute". She didn't sound rude, but it wasn't entirely welcoming either. After a few additional minutes, she apologized and took our order. It seemed that there were only two people working there, probably as a result of the difficulty of finding people to work fast food these days. I guess that's why we had to wait for so long. The food: We ordered two beef tacos and two tamales (being my favorite Mexican dish - I was surprised to find them available at a fast food restaurant) with cheese and chili sauce. I didn't care for the taco at all. The tortilla felt a bit moist and a tad rubbery, the meat's taste, temperature and texture were subpar and it had way too much cheese (like that "nameless" restaurant that stacks way too much cheese on their signature chili). The cheese was finely shredded, but the taste just wasn't there either. The tamale, though I expected little with it not being authentic (tamales take dedicated time to make - over a day) was really disappointing. Again, too much cheese and the meat sauce wasn't very good at all. I'll have to give it another shot and order them without any sauce next time. I concluded that I wouldn't drive that distance again, at least not for those food items. Today's visit: I drove through in the early afternoon and still waited a little longer than I felt necessary, but I was expecting it. When I got to the window, there was only one person in sight. She was a very pleasant young lady named Dionna(?) who had immediately greeted me when I pulled up and said she'd be with me shortly. This time, as per my son's suggestion, I ordered the Grilled Chicken taco. OMG - I thought I was at a different restaurant! The tortilla tasted better, it had less cheese (which tasted the same), but the chicken was amazing! I added mild sauce after the first bite, but felt it was better without it and ate it as presented. I also had a vanilla shake, which was another winner (imho). In fact, I'd put it against the shakes of many fast food joints that specialize in frozen dairy. It was of great density; a bit harder to pull out and rich, but in subtle fashion, which I liken to the shakes and malts of my teen years (the 80s). The only downside was the straw, a bit TOO large in circumference, making it even harder to pull through comfortably. If you've ever taken a pulmonary test, you know the difficulty of passing air through larger holes. Still, that wasn't enough to undo the great taste. I will return to try the hamburger at some point, in addition to a tamale without sauce (they also offer red & green sauce), as long as they're in season (I believe it's a promotional item). I will also enjoy a few more of the chicken tacos, which in my opinion is the real selling point. I give them three stars as an average between "could've been better" and "good", but five stars for Dionna.

    Chips & Queso (Regular-sized - ate some already) and Real Strawberry Sprite

    As a lover of Taco Bell I was curious how it would compare to Del Taco. I ordered door dash so everything wasn't quiet as fresh but I was happy overall and the price was right. Iced Coffee (Cafe de olla)- I'm a bit of a coffee snob and I would order this one again. Deff better than McDonalds or Taco Bell iced coffee, just a touch of flavor but not overpowering. Real strawberry Sprite - it was good, reminded me of a Shirley Temple. The straws are very wide tho like smoothly straws and the strawberries were getting stuck which was a bit annoying. Refreshing but nothing to write home about. Regular size Queso & chips - thought it was on the smaller side considering they make an even smaller snack size. I am a lover of Queso and this one was creamy with added flavors and would deff order again. Tortilla chips were crunchy and plain. Snack Taco - basically the same thing as Taco Bell's hard taco, with a slightly different meat flavor/texture Snack Queso quesadilla- this was the only thing I didn't enjoy. It was basically a soft taco with melted cheddar cheese and another soft taco stacked on top, and then folded in half. It was too much tortilla and not really queso to be found. Would be better with just one tortilla. Crispy chicken taco with ranch - reminded me of a Wendy's snack wrap or Taco Bell's cantina crispy chicken taco. Enjoyed the chicken strip, no complaints.

    Didn't realize it but we went there on opening day! Parking lot and drive through was packed so we parked in the lot next door. Menu is huge and includes hamburgers and French fries to name a view as well as the huge line of Mexican! Our meal was delicious and excited to return for more! The nachos were fresh and covered with white queso ! Very plentiful for a dollar.

    Bean, cheese and rice roller and chocolate shake. Not a fan of either.

    I took a detour home and passed this newish spot so I decided to grab a snack! Online it showed that they are open until 2 am and it was a little before 11 so I knew they weren't about to close. I had no idea a Del Taco opened up around here and have never been to one anywhere so I was excited to try it. There was only one car in the drive through so it seemed as though I'd be in and out! I sat at the ordering window for about 5 mins, wasn't sure if anyone was working. Finally I was asked for my order. I wanted a strawberry shake- out of strawberries. I got chocolate instead. I also ordered a bean, cheese and rice roller. Pulled up to the last window to pay, and got the dirtiest look from the cashier as they took my card. I'm talking a pissed off glare. A few mins later they hand me my bag and mumble for me to have a good one without asking if I need any sauce or napkins or anything else. Window shut with me having very diminished hopes for this place. Not a fan of the milkshake. It tasted like if you took a bowl of the most generic chocolate ice cream and let it slightly melt. The burrito wasn't tasty either. It was so dry, no cheese that I could see or taste, bland rice. That sauce I wasn't allowed to ask for could have really saved it. Oh well, now I know it's not worth my time at all!!

    Nothing wrong with getting a cheap meal with a flare from Southern California (where I was first introduced). I have been waiting YEARS for a del taco to come to the area. Way better than Taco Bell, imo

    This is the imposible or incredible taco. Plant based fake meat. It has the consistency of bean paste.

    This is the imposible or incredible taco. Plant based fake meat. Must be good to vegans but I couldn't eat it. It has the consistency of bean paste. Vegetarians may like it with it's slight beef flavor. Not for me though. ‍ Not the same menu as Del Taco on the West Coast. Where is my ground turkey meat taco?

    Trash everywhere, tables& floors, not cleaned in 30 min since we got here

    One word " yuck " that describes everything. Food service cleanliness. Cashier was nice but seemed overwhelmed. It really is a joke

    Visited Northstar Cafe on a Saturday afternoon. Immediately upon stepping in I was excited. The…read morerestaurant is clean and beautiful perfect for any occasion. You order before you find a seat, and the host who took our order was so kind and down to earth. He gave us recommendations and affirmed our choices. I can't remember his name but, he was wearing a cast/sling so I hope he gets the appreciation he deserves. I ordered the Everyday Egg sandwich with bacon and substituted a biscuit in place of the brioche bun. I'm going to tell you right now - this was the best decision ever! I also ordered a single ricotta pancake, the breakfast potatoes the Country breakfast, and the iced strawberry matcha latte. The country breakfast and the everyday egg sandwich have the exact same presentation, I wish the country breakfast was presented with each item separately rather than stacked as a sandwich but it was still delicious. Just like on the Egg sandwich the eggs are the star, fluffy, cooked to perfection. The biscuits was golden brown and flaky and had a nice bite. It paired very nicely with the strawberry preserves. The ricotta pancake was a standout, fluffy and beautifully soft and lightly crispy on the edges. It is paired with fresh cut bananas. Everything was delicious. The only issues arose because the kitchen ran into an issue with their fryer preventing them from preparing the breakfast potatoes. It also caused a delay in them bringing out part of my meal. They jumped into action to apologize and they treated me to a chocolate chip cookie (delicious, warm and huge!) and a complimentary meal at my next visit. As I live out of town I chose to redeem this by ordering the simple salad to take home to which I added avocado. The salad was delicious, I loved the croutons and the light vinaigrette - the avocado added an enjoyable creaminess. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Columbus!
