Stopped in Tuesday April 28th at 12 am because I urgently needed the restroom and planned to order food. I asked multiple times for the bathroom key, and despite clearly explaining I really needed it, I was repeatedly ignored while one employee prioritized other orders. I understand being busy, but basic human decency and customer service shouldn't disappear because a kitchen is slammed. Being told other orders were more important while I was barely able to hold it was honestly humiliating. Ended up leaving and spending my money elsewhere. Fast food or not, treating people like that is unacceptable. read more

I've given Del Taco multiple chances, and unfortunately, they keep disappointing every single time. The service is consistently poor, and what's even more frustrating is that they can't seem to get a simple order right. I repeated my order clearly, more than once, and they still managed to mess it up. At that point, it's not a misunderstanding--it's a lack of attention and care. This isn't a one-time issue either. It's happened multiple times, which shows a pattern of sloppy service and no real effort to improve. Customers shouldn't have to double-check everything or expect mistakes every visit. At this point, I can't recommend this location. There are plenty of other places that actually listen and get it right the first time. read more

Honestly I love Del taco and the food was totally fine, but this location is kind of sketchy. I've been here twice over the last 10 years and very interesting characters like to dine here. Just a heads up! read more

You should know what to expect with fast food options. I'm giving a 5 stars because all the workers here are hustling. Their customer service might not be top notch, but many of them are speaking a second language, working alone or with minimal help and doing multiple tasks at one. I want to give them a shout out and major props. I also enjoy that this location has the option for Mobil orders to pick up outside in a little food locker. Very innovative! read more

Was just passing through and they actually charged me to use the bathroom. There was one customer in the store and both restrooms were open. Insane. read more

Did anyone else get sick after eating at this Del tacos on Saturday night? I had a combo burrito and my 3 friends had chicken. I was the only one to get sick. read more

they charged me to use a bathroom that had piss all over the toilet paper. and the item I bought to use the bathroom (a bean and cheese burrito) was thrown in the bag unwrapped and spilled all over. read more

For some odd reason they would not honor my coupon placed for online only order. Nor were they able to cancel and refund my money as I refused to take the food. No customer service skills, very rude, and unprofessional. Plus they forgot the guac in my epic guac burrito, and no napkins in my bag read more

Mexican fast food at reasonable prices. Drive through service if you don't want to go inside. Casual fast food restaurant lobby with efficient if not overly comfortable seating. read more

I got food poison eating here recently. It feels like they know they're bad but they aren't gonna stop serving food.

I should've checked the reviews before coming to this location. We got food poisoning as well food taste bad Don't eat here read more

Rude woman working the counter, bad customer services mean we will not support, train employees better

Managers not a nice lady place was dirty and the place smelt bad. Stay away. I love me some del taco but I would never eat at this place... I've seen cleaner restaurants in DTLA read more

Terrible. Food is poorly prepared and since I live across the pch from them I have been there many times and never once received my order from them correct So bad read more

Closed 15 minutes early. I waited in the drive thru from 1:45-1:55 and saw the workers drove away. Store was supposed to close at 2AM. I am hungry, didn't like them! read more

Always get my order wrong. Ordered 2 tacos got 1. Last time got completely wrong order. Terrible service.

This Del Taco is conveniently located between my work in Long Beach and home in Oceanside. Efficient drive thru, I haven't had anything missing from my orders, its your standard Del Taco fare. I wish they would have the shrimp more often then just one time a year. Please tell corporate to add shrimp to the regular menu! read more

Del Taco - a sign on the door of a restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Dana Point, California

So I'm a Del Taco freak ... ha but right now they are serving the tamales 2 for $5 and with red and green sauce ... they are amazing get them while you can. The later the better they taste especially after late night gathering they are amazing. read more

This location is the best one I've visited. I don't eat fast food much but the last time I had del taco in Rancho Cucamonga it was awful and the burritos were so small and messy. This location is great, my burritos are filled and taste fresh and ready to order. The staff are friendly and fast too! read more

Location is great right by the beach, ideal spot to get some cheap drinks. I love their $1 iced coffee and cheesecake bites, but am not a fan of the rest of the food here. Service was fine and drive thru went quickly. read more

Del Taco - Mexican Near Me - Dana Point, California

Who owns this Del taco ? I have been in the drive thru over 15 minutes. WTF. Is there ONE person working in there ? Y'all need to get it together or close. I sat for 7 minutes in the same place for ONE persons order. Make them pull thru and wait - my food was already ready. Will not be coming back. read more

This is the finest Del Taco in California and home to the hardest working people in the land. They are heroes and you should treat them like heroes- they are the guardians of the coast; they serve the people Del Taco's breakfast Burritos are a treasure for their simplicity. Did you know you can order them with green sauce? You should try this, and contemplate the results thoroughly. IMPORTANT NOTE: many people who are not from California do not know how to eat Del Taco properly and because of this do not enjoy it. The secret is that you must take Inferno (HOT) sauce and Del Scorcho (Medium) sauce, and apply this 1 to 1 ratio on your food as you eat. This is the optimal way to eat Del Taco, and much of their food exists solely as a vessel for this hot sauce combination- Do not embarrass yourself by attempting to use mild sauce, you will be not like your food and people will not respect you. read more

Worst Del taco ever! We are ate at Del tacos in Anaheim and this is a totally different restaurant, We only ate couple of bites and we threw away. Awful!!! read more

I usually go to this location, but never again. I asked multiple times to take my order but no one would even look at me. They proceeded to take my friend's order and completely ignore me. I waited 10 minutes just to have my order taken and when I did, the woman was rude. Not going to this location again read more

Always messing up orders. I've ordered the Deluxe Chili Cheddar Fries 4 times back to back and every time they charge me full price to only find out I got the "chili fries" in the bag. Scamming the customer. So much for drive through to save time read more

Del Taco - Paid for Deluxe Chili Cheddar Fries but was given Chili Cheddar Fries instead... yay for overpaying - Mexican Near Me - Dana Point, California

Getting off work, just trying to grab food from the only place open.. telling you right now you're better off getting something to take and bake from circle K because after waiting more than a half hour in line just to order. Complete waste of time. Over an hour total, plus when I finally got to the window I noticed the lady preparing food wasn't wearing a mask, for those wearing of eating out. THEN when I finally got home, 1.5 hours after starting this Del Taco excursion, to find out that any option I asked steak for, I received chicken and missing a Del beef burrito and a quesadilla. Things I paid for. read more

I came here after a Ohana Fest and instead of being a shit show, they were amazing. My food was ready in less than five minutes and it was perfectly what I had ordered hi read more

I arrived at 7:08, went through the drive thru, no one answered so pulled through. Looked empty, yelped and the hours say 7 am. Saw someone else go through so I tried again, heard a very nice greeting, the driver said sorry . I pull up and get snapped at "we're not ready yet!". So I asked politely " when will you be ready please?" Totally ignored. If the hours say open, I'd assume they're open for business and not being rude to people. 7am isn't that early read more

Not worth the wait or the good, go to Taco Bell right up the street. Service was awful as well. The only plus was that the building was brand new. read more

One of the worst del tacos I've ever been too. The front worker doesn't know how to do his job, and I ordered a fiesta pack for $16.99 and instead of ringing it up as the fiesta pack he charged me for each item singularly and had a rude attitude and not friendly at all. Think his name was Angel. But will never come back here again till he is gone. read more

Rude and never got my free tacos, I think because she was arguing with another coworker for arriving late to work unprofessional attitude

They closed 20 minutes early. Staffed by rude, impatient nasty people and tried their best to ruin my shake but it's too delicious. I saw how they made it though so I'm taking the recipe to Taco Bell so I don't have to return here read more

Ok it's September 5th 2022 This used to be a great location I think after a few visits it does not stand up to its reputation of the hype of "Best Taco" I think this particular location has a new owner I've lived here since 1988 Unfortunately got food poisoning from the date above Find another location is my advice read more

Horrible Why are you open if not to supply for customer in the neighborhood. I stayed at best western across the street and went across to get food but was turned away because it was 2 mins after regular hour. Drive thru was still open!!!!!! Why are you open late night if not to serve when required? read more

Rude older manager and some employees too. I don't know why they don't like people ordering from their counter inside, maybe they aren't so rude to the drive through customers ? An older lady there always has such a mean attitude and scowl on her face as if shes irritated that they come in to order. This is at the Del Taco in San Juan Capistrano. If we were closer to a different Del Taco we would go there instead. I cringe when I go in the SJC store. read more

This place needs new management and their owner needs to wake up an realize what customer service means . No wonder they have no customers . The employees are rude and don't care and act like they don't even want to work there. The food is old now and not fresh like it used to be . Forget trying to special order fries well done they will just ignore and give you old fries that are barely warm . The red burritos were old and dried out I tried to talk to the manager who refused to give me her name . The last straw was when they asked what sauces we wanted and then ignored us and gave us the wrong ones so i threw them back on the drive through area counter and the manager was telling me not to do that . She told me she would throw sauces into my Tesla . They stuff all your large order in one bag which is overflowing. We asked for mild sauce and del scorcho and they gave us ketchup and del inferno. I am enclosed a pic of my old undercooked fries and my receipt so hopefully this owner can identify his incompetent staff. I will not be returning to this location and would not recommend giving them your business. read more

Del Taco - The del taco receipt - Mexican Near Me - Dana Point, California

See all

drive through cashier was obviously annoyed and rude at us for taking a second to figure out our order and cut us off from talking when we were still ordering. why was minimum wage for fast food raised when the workers do not care about their jobs. read more

People are overly-critical of this Del Taco. I mean - seriously folks- it's Del Taco ! They deliver on their brand, which is mediocre fast Mexican food. They typically get the order correct here , the food is hot, and they deliver the food as described. It's a must-have on the drive home from the bar, but don't expect anything out of the ordinary. Solid Del Taco experience from the Del Taco experience you know will help you survive the next day's hangover. Bonus points - if you are a Pokémon Go fan - there are usually Dittos in the drive thru !! Cheers ! read more

Employees are rude. French fry's are greasy and not cooked. Always missing napkins beans are hard. Lady at the window is very rude

I stopped here to grab a diet coke and use the restroom. It's locked so the cashier has to "buzz you in." The volume on the buzzer is really low and I couldn't hear it. The cashier got mad at me, stating she already buzzed the door twice and I need to "run" if I want to get there fast enough to use the bathroom. Also, she said she's not going to stand around all day long to buzz me in. LOL! Yes, "Meg" I get you hate your job but I was the only customer you had except for some lone dude eating on a Saturday afternoon. Sorry, to interrupt your "me time" at work. This place is a joke. I will never go back. Yes, I get it's a Del Taco but this one is poorly run. read more
