As I took another bite of the taco, the delicious inferno sauce began to mix together with the spice of the whiskey... ~~Record scratch noise~~ You're probably wondering how I got here. Well, it all started when we began our semi-annual trek to Del Taco in order to achieve our quest of tacos, burritos, and most importantly -- inferno sauce. It was quite the drive to get there as we crossed city boundaries several times. Our journey began in Olympia, then Lacey, then Olympia, then Lacey. It was a lovely trip, enjoying a cool breezy July day as we drove to the only Del Taco within 30-miles. As we arrived, we were greeted quickly as we were fully supported in placing our order. Only a short while later, we received our food along with a pirate's bounty of Inferno Sauce as we trekked back -- beginning in Lacey, then Olympia, then Lacey, then Olympia. Arriving home, a fine glass of Japanese Whiskey was poured as the perfect accompaniment to the food. For me, 2 Value Tacos and 2 Value Burritos -- a truly invaluable value meal. The folds of the burrito tortilla were gently opened as I surgically placed the first taco in, and used 3 Inferno Sauces. 1 within the taco and 2 in the beans of the burrito. I took a bite... magnificent. Another bite. Beautiful. A sip of whiskey. Another bite, and the inferno sauce's spice began to mix with the whiskey spices. I will let you decide where this journey goes from here, but what I can say is... 5/5 almost as good as Del Taco. read more

Still disappointing location to get food from. Slow service and they still don't know how to make a deluxe del burrito always comes out as a taquito With little filling! This place is still going down. Sad! read more

Filthy restaurant; annoying music blaring at full blast; food took too long; my burrito was gross and very tough. Just go to Taco Bell if you want good fast food. read more

This location has the friendliest, most polite, patient, and helpful staff I have ever witnessed. Great job guys!

Great service and experience. Their computer system went down when we were ordering and they still made our food for us. We got the shrimp tacos and chicken nachos. Both were very good, but be warned they put a lot of jalapeños on their nachos so if you don't want a lot make sure you let them know. :) read more

They need to hire more people night service is EXTREMELY slow had to wait 35 minutes for my food

This was the first time I had been inside this location since covid. The inside was clean and they even had Easter decorations. A lady took my order with a smile asked me my name and I went to sit down. I was expecting to have my name called but after a few minutes, the same lady actually brought my food to my table, which I was very impressed by. In my opinion, Del Taco has pretty good deals. I was there on a Thursday afternoon, and so I got the three chicken soft taco deal and two of the quesadilla chicken tacos. I'm sure I'll be back, as I've been there at least five times while they were drive-thru only during covid.. read more

Welp. What's a chicken burrito with no chicken? I'm pretty disappointed to say the least. I haven't had Del Taco in well over 10 years and was really hoping for a good nostalgic experience. Everything was fine until I went home and finally took a few bites and kept tasting beans and tomatoes. When I finally opened it up, checked thru it.. & no chicken... so needless to say.. you may be missing a few ingredients when you go to this location. read more

Del Taco - Spicy Grilled Chicken Burrito - Tacos Near Me - Lacey, Washington

The combo burrito, on the menu now as "now 1/2 Pound" is mystery meat in a soupy poorly wrapped tortilla, unrecognizable from the iconic one it used to be. The only safe thing left that they didn't change and ruin is the taco. read more

Don't know the name of the young white man with curly hair, he had a teal shirt on this day. We ordered 5 tacos, two with extra cheese and there was barely anything on the tacos to begin with. The wait was extremely long when there was only two cars in front of us. Everyone seemed to just be talking and hanging around and not working. Really upsetting because I went out of my way to go to del taco since I don't have one in my state and I was missing it. The young man also said "just so you know I made those tacos and I know I added everything" when he did not? Why would I waste my time to do all this when I could've just ordered all at once and NOT WAIT SO LONG! read more

Del Taco - Tacos Near Me - Lacey, Washington

It was. Well. Different. The employees were lacking work ethic. They didn't want to be working. The food was subpar. Even the bun on the burger just fell pieces crumbling. Everything was lacking in amount and size, especially sauce. Probably one of the most below average restaurants in terms of Del Taco we have been to. read more

We used to enjoy getting Del Taco on the fly. Tonight (9:30pm), we hit it up before a movie (5 minutes away with a start time of (9:50pm). While ordering, the guy on the speaker asked my wife to repeat what was said. As we were doing so, there was all this commotion in the background. The guy asked again to repeat the order. While she was repeating it, another voice (employee) shouts something nearly inaudible through the speaker, "Haha! Sir, would you like a b......" We couldn't catch the rest of what was said, but there seemed to be a lot of laughter at the fact he addressed my wife (cis female) as "Sir." Not thinking anything of it, we started repeating the order AGAIN, and the laughter continued, and he addressed my wife as "Sir" no less than two more times. The laughter was still non-stop. We ordered 6 chicken rollers, one mini quesadilla, and a tostada. My wife and I both agreed that the way they were giggling and carrying on while also being unable to remember the order as we were placing it, seemed like they were hitting a Marijuana vape pen while at work. It was so immature and frustrating. While waiting for the food, we found see the two employees who were goofing around inside. One looked like a Llama with shaggy blondish hair. He was handling food while also repeatedly adjusting his chain on his sweaty neck with bare hands. Gross. The other guy was wearing a tight black tank top and a baseball cap. Are tank tops part of the Del Taco uniform? They both kept horsing around and appeared to not really be doing much work as the only person really working was a young lady with brunette hair who also greeted us at the window. Did I mention that it was over 15 minutes that we waited while that poor young lady was doing almost all the work and the other guys laughed and played and messed with the people in the drive through? Our order came and now we were going to be late for our movie. We paid and rolled out. I checked the bag on the way and found that instead of the 6 chicken rollers, there were 4. Instead of the one quesadilla, there were two. Not only did those immature and unprofessional guys goof off and frustrate or drive through ordering experience, but they messed up our order. Having no time to go back as we needed to get to our movie, I called the store phone number (360-491-0650) on the receipt to talk to someone and explain our experience. I called four times, and not one time did anyone answer the phone. I really hope someone from the restaurant reads this and changes can be made immediately. Your employees appear to be high on the job, and they are costing you money and morale (one girl working around the others while they screwed off) in your workplace. read more

I grew up in SoCal so when I heard that there was a Del Taco in Lacey, I knew I'd want to dedicate my early release Friday for a Nostalgic Lunch! Oh the Cali days of Del Taco, Pup n Taco and Naugles!! I ordered all my high school favorites and was not disappointed!! Those crinkled fries taste exactly how I remembered! Friendly customer service with a smile! Very easy to find! Just about a mile off the i5 with drive thru and plenty of parking to flash back my glory day memories ha ha Something to know, they don't accept American Express card. Just thought that was a bit odd but no worries they accept all other cards! Cheap eats too! 2 Fish Tacos for $4 Huge burrito! Couldn't finish it! Overall a very pleasant experience! read more

Tables were dirty and we waited more than 30 minutes for our food and it wasn't even busy. There was one other table seated inside. The table that was seated before us went up twice to ask about their food taking so long and rather than get their food immediately they waited another 7-10 minutes at the counter. read more

Del Taco - Burnt fries - Tacos Near Me - Lacey, Washington

Best service. Not even 3 min after ordering I got my food. The lady was nice and helpful. And her ambiance was great.

Place going downhill. Tacos are trash and service too. Got a salad today at the drive-thru and they didn't give me a fork or napkins.

I've never been to a Del Taco before. The menu looked great and the person taking my order was friendly. Also I didn't have a long wait. However, none of that matters if the food is subpar. It seriously had no flavor. I ordered steak- the meat that was served looked like textured vegetable protein. I got an entree a side and a small drink. This cost $12. Compared to Taco Bell, way too expensive. Taco Time charges about the same, but with them it's worth it. I was disappointed and won't be back. Del Taco, in my humble opinion, serves low quality food and charges too much for it. read more

Del Taco - Loaded fries- but loaded with what is the question - Tacos Near Me - Lacey, Washington

I ordered on the app. When I arrived at the drive-thru I waited five minutes for someone to acknowledge me. I gave my name and waited probably another 5 minutes at the window (there was no other customer there besides me). When I was handed my order, she didn't even say anything. It was awkward. And of course, without fail, the customized burrito was not correct). Del Taco feels like a place that employs people trying to knock out community service hours. I'm tired of this pattern of conduct from this Del Taco location and I'm afraid this is the last time I will ever patronize. read more

Foods good, but every time I go in, the employees noticably don't care about their jobs or customers. This last time one guy was arguing with a person I am assuming was his manager. Very ghetto feeling. It won't stop me from going back but at the same time, I probably won't eat in the building again. Ido love the dollar menu they provide. Just feels like their employees aren't very happy. read more

Del Taco - Chicken Guac Crunchtada. Is great tasting. Çhicken, beans, lettuce, cheese and tomatoes, the guacamole was perfect. $3.00 - Tacos Near Me - Lacey, Washington

Saw the drive thru line wrapped around to Starbucks. Went inside and all the tables were taken. Took us 10mins to get to order and then we couldn't order because they were so backed up they needed more time to get orders out. The only saving grace was the cashier who continuously apologized for the wait. We decided to go back outside and try the drive thru since it was moving faster than the orders inside. Finally after 15mins and $25 later we get our food and lo and behold we're missing the fries. Everything in the order we did get was gross. There was paper in my husbands chicken taco on top of it all. The churros tasted like hard oil with no flavor when you bite into it. This is our first time eat here and is never go to a Del Taco again. The milkshakes did taste like milkshakes thank god. The burger was meh and the bun was hard. The fish taco was ok. The chicken tacos had barely any meat and didn't taste good. The chicken quesadilla was gross. It was a waste of my time and money. If you've never been -don't bother going. read more

I love the employees and there service and they have been great people to me and have reliable communication and work ethic

Went through the drive thru last month. Long wait with 1 car ahead of us. Got a chicken burrito combo. Burrito barely had any food in it at all; it was half empty. It was late and we got off the freeway just to grab food so didn't notice till we were long gone or would have gone back. The chicken quesadilla my friend got was good, he said. Fries were standard and ok. Cashier handed out the drinks covered in soda and asked her to wipe them off; she just handed out napkins for us to do it ourselves. Love Del Taco from Vegas and hadn't had it in a long time; disappointed this visit sucked. read more

Just so u all know this is the second time they messed up my order. Here's proof that the bean and cheese burritos at 1$ read more

I ordered del taco for my first time late Saturday. It was the only thing open really. The next day I was throwing up, diarrhea, fever, and weak. It's now day 5 and I still have really bad stomach problems but thankfully my symptoms of food poisoning are going away. I will stay far away from this place for now on. read more

Bad experience with this location. They forgot my sons food and the fries were soggy not crispy or fresh tasting at all. What a bummer.

Just went in this afternoon and had a great experience. A young guy greeted us as we entered and was very friendly and efficient the whole time. I felt like I was at Chick-fil-A! The food came out great too. The dining area was clean. I mean look people this is a fast food place, but all things considered I had a very pleasant experience. read more

I'm from Southern California and have always been a big Del Taco fan. Imagine my surprise and delight when a location opened less than 1000 miles from me. This location seems to go through different owners, so I'm guessing the older reviews are a reflection of that. I've had nothing but wonderful experiences at this Del Taco and the food is prepared with excellence. Compare a paltry Taco Bell taco to the Del Taco variety and it's no contest which is the superior on in both flavor and bang for the buck. It's fast food Mexican food, but it's the best fast food next to El Polo Loco you're gonna get. I'm leaving this review because I love Del Taco and don't want them to go out of business in this location. read more

My wife and I go to this Del Taco location about every two weeks for lunch before going to the nearby movie theater. We have always been pleased with the speed of service and the value of our food . We opt for the crunchy Del Taco and we always get a kick of how much cheese they put on their tacos and we love cheese. I have to admit a while back we "jumped ship" and got " Taco Supremes" from Taco Bell. Very dissatisfied with them and honestly Del Taco puts at least 3 times more cheese on the Del Taco then the skimpy Taco Supremes from Taco Bell !!! read more

Times are rough for them right now. We were 3rd in the drive thru and it took an hour to get our food. The first car passenger had to get out of the car and go to the door to ask them to take the order. That's bad y'all. When we finally pulled up to the window they had to go through 4 orders before they finally for to ours. We'll be back in a few weeks after everything has evened out a bit more. Yay to finally having a Del Taco! We've missed it so much since moving out here. Fish taco was bomb though! Not the absolute best I've had but a very close second that's for sure. read more

Stopped by to grab quick dinner before heading to the airport. There were about 15 cars in the drive thru line so we decided to go inside and get food to go. That's when we saw these signs on the doors. Apparently the ten customers inside was over capacity. Watched another customer go in and ask to order food to go and she was told they wouldn't serve her in the dining room even takeout. When asked why when they weren't even at capacity she was told the manager told the employees not to take any orders inside. Really frustrating to basically be lied to because a manager didn't feel like serving anybody in store. read more
