I'm giving this location 5 starts because there were only 3 people working one making food, one taking orders and handing them out and one making sure the lobby and restrooms were clean. Everyone was very patient which was nice to see. The workers were older and they handled the lunch rush very well. read more

Rude employee taking the order and this location has no drive through and is the slowest place ever to get your food. Go somewhere else

This is hands down the best Del Taco in the whole desert area! The food is bounty and fresh every time! Never disappoints!!!!

It's pretty clean here every time I go and their fish tacos are surprisingly much better than actual restaurants. Although it takes a long time to cook the fish you know it's fresh every time. Service is also pretty good and there is a good atmosphere for this del taco. read more

Del Taco - Carnitas Frys. The only reason why I go to del taco. - Mexican Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Mmmmmm yummy food, nice staff thank you. Very clean and fast service. We will be back for sure to this location.

I've had Many Many Cheese Quesadillas at Del Tacos in California and Arizona but the 1 had late night 6/22/2021 @ 5pm was the best I've ever had at any Del Taco. There was Cheese in EVERY bite:) It had so much Cheese that pulling it apart was CRAZY. I Loved it... read more

Not a fan. Stopped here today for the first time since I figured I should give it a try. My beef queso crunch taco, was ok but nothing special. What I really disliked was my Mexican chopped chicken salad. The chicken tasted like something, but it wasn't chicken and that's not a good thing. The lettuce in my salad was wilted, the avocado was browning and the mix of ingredients were just off. There was a decent line to order and then I waited a bit for food. The seats inside were messy and clearly not cleaned regularly. read more

3 stars for entertainment value, oh heck 4! I went to drop off fed ex package at the neighborhood post box shop on deep canyon. I walk to the gas station next door to get a big ice tea. But low and behold the cold soda fountain and ice machines are down. So the next best thing is a quick iced coffee from del taco across the street....lol. I order my iced coffee and ask for an extra cup of ice because they never put in enough ice. She hands me a tiny cup and I ask if I could have a bit bigger. I'll pay for it so she adds an additional 90 cents and says I'll give you the senior cup. Thanks really? I pay for both and as she is making the drink the other woman expediting asks her in Spanish why she charged me for the ice. She replies back in Spanish because Carlos says we have to charge for the larger cup. The woman replies back in Spanish, does it look like Carlos is here !? I'm not Carlos so don't when I'm here. I guess she is mgr???Lol. Of course I'm sure they assumed I didn't understand, I should have said adios or replied in Spanish but my verbal Spanish is not as proficient as my understanding, although that may have made it even funnier. By the way... She didn't refund me the extra charge, but the line was 6 deep and I couldn't help but giggle. read more

See all

I will never come here again. I only have 30 minutes for lunch and this is the third time I had to walk out I already paid for my food and because I took too long. So now I have to order food and get it delivered and pay more money. this place used to have some really good managers but they don't anymore. They used to have a lady named Rosa which was really good she had that place running like a Swiss watch and there's another girl I forgot her name she has really short hair and she's good too I wish they were still working there. But right now it takes forever to get your food. So now I'm out $7. . So even if it's a little busy and you're in a hurry just walk out. I will have to say the best del taco is still the one on 111 and Washington Street they're always on point. read more

I do not like eating at these corporate restaurants, but at 10pm midweek in summertime there are not a lot of places open at this hour around here. I ordered a combo burrito with fries and a drink. It tasted just like I thought it would taste like, an average corporate burrito, oh well better than starving. Because of the late hour and nothing else open there were a lot of customers here. read more

Del Taco - Del Scorcho !! - Mexican Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Way too salty on their chips. I have the nachos and boy did I regret it. The toppings were fine, but the chips had way too much salt. People working there were friendly and polite. But did I mention that the chips were salty? Seemed like they pulled that prank where they unscrew the top of the salt shaker and wait for some poor unknowing victim to use that salt only to pour the whole shaker into the batch of chips. Their service will keep me going back, their salt to chips ratio needs major work. read more

2 1/2 stars. Cashier was good, but food was tasteless(yes I know it's del taco). I would really like to know how they make brown water (supposedly tea) tastes less tasty than water. Bathroom was really smelly, and why do they buy those huge rolls of TP but not put them on the roller? Last thing, why can't they put up a hook for your coat or purse? The balancing act of holding all your belongings while trying to navigate the use of the toilet has never been attempted by a man for sure, that's why women have to do just that. read more

One of the best Del tacos in The desert in my opinion. Typically always clean inside. The same core employees still work here after years. That tells you something about the ownership in my Opinion. Food is always consistent and fresh. Best Mexican fast food around. Wish they hadn't changed the steak recipe a few years back and bring back the sausage egg and cheese biscuits but that my only complaint. Keep up The good work. read more

The general manager, Anselmo, is rude and does not appreciate business at all. I will not be back again.

I love del taco and the food is excellent but please try to hire employees that understand English! It took this person 15 minutes to understand that I wanted my lettuce on the top of my taco, very annoying! read more

Couldn't believe this location charges $0.50 for adding secret sauce. The least they could have said is sorry we charge for that or give a warning. Not at this store. Charged 2 extra quarters to squirt out some sauce without any warning to the customer. I only found out after I left the establishment and reviewed the receipt. So disappointed. read more

I pulled in the parking lot noticed the cook coming out the door with the same blue gloves he used to handle the food. Went back in through the back door while digging in his nose. Didn't get a chance to purchase food I left just disgusting read more

Slowest location ever...place was empty took them forever to get breakfast done at 6:30 am...only two people working and only one person making food ! read more

THIS IS THE HOLY GRAIL OF DEL TACOS. Screw any bad reviews, obviously the only time people come onto yelp is to talk trash. But this place is CONSISTENTLY thee best. Freshest, most filled, look like the advertisements tacos and chili cheddar fries. And I eat a LOT of Del taco. This one is even better than the OG Barstow one where they put fancy full slices of tomato in their tacos. My parents live in indian wells and anytime I visit I have to make a stop because the owner, managers, cooks are emblematic of what Del Taco should be. I know it must be a thankless job, but please take pride in what you are putting out, you are doing the lord's work. read more

Excellent quality in a Del Taco. Staff makes the extra effort to get it right and their portions are plentiful

Wow tacobout good del taco tacos. They hook it up with the lettuce and cheese. This one is my favorite.

I've been using the app to get my lunch and the employees are always so friendly and fast. My order is always made perfectly.

Upon walking into the kitchen for the first time today I observed that the dishwasher was empty, but there were dishes, glasses and pots in the sink extending over the entire counter. This called for only one course of action: go out to eat. I called to my partner in dine, "Want to go to Del Taco? Figuring that Del Taco is better than no taco at all, the answer was, "Sure." I find if you ask a question in a loud voice and with great enthusiasm you are more likely to receive an affirmative answer. Del taco is more or less a staple with us. We hit it about once a month and it is useful when you don't want to cook or spend. It is possible to eat there hugely for a pittance. My only problem with it is, it's not consistent. Most of the time it is more than satisfactory, but sometimes on the special price taco nights you are liable to get an almost empty taco shell. I really blame the employees for this and not the company, but when it happens it is maddening. Not so today. Everything was fine and for a little more than $7 two of us ate and brought home leftovers. So, thanks for being there, Del Taco. We'll be visiting again when we have a big appetite and little money. read more

Best Del Taco in the valley! Food is always fresh and they actually put meat and cheese in the tacos and burritos unlike every other del taco in the valley that gives you a thimble of meat and cheese and tons of lettuce. The only minus is that there's no driv thru but that's good because the workers can take the time to make your food right. Best Del Taco in the valley!

Ate there yesterday for lunch and got food poisoning 5 hours later. Beware not a very clean place.

We went to this Del Taco Sat. night on Thanksgiving weekend. It was not crowded, but about half full. We got in line & ordered & many people came in behind us. The problem was that orders after us were being filled & I went up to ask where was our food. They said that a particular person was supposed to be doing our order. I guess she was just slow. The person handing out the orders was an old woman who put her face into the bags & was always hunched over breathing on everything. It grossed me out. Eventually our food was ready, we had a big to-go order for 4 of us. I really love Del Taco (more than taco bell) & I was disappointed with the food as well as the service. The tacos were really empty, my daughter got dirreah (not bad though) for about 24 hours. I hope it was just a bad night for them. I was really unhappy with the whole expereince. It took forever to get the food & then it was not very good. I also don't like getting about 1/2 a taco. I would have to try this location again before I could recommend it. They do have a soft serve ice cream machine & they have cones & shakes. I didn't try them, but they looked good. I love Del Taco fries, they were good. read more

Cheska was the sweetest! She made our vegan beyond meat tacos and changed her gloves for us with the most positive response. She also came to the table to serve us our food. We appreciate the kindness and wonderful customer service from Cheska. Thank you! read more

Let's be real, I'm not expecting 5 star service from Del Taco of all places. But here's what happened on my recent experience: I got the completely wrong order. Not like I asked for no tomatoes and they were sprinkled in, or asked for sour cream on the side and didn't get it. I ordered a chicken burrito (no beans) and 2 chicken soft tacos. I was so excited to get home and indulge on these delicious items (you know you find chicken soft tacos irresistible as well) and you know what I saw when I opened the bag? These fools gave me a bean and cheese burrito and 2 hard shell BASIC tacos. I had to just toss it all away. I would advise you drive to a different location, but if you find yourself stuck here, def check your stuff before you leave. Clearly the people working here could care less. read more

Coming from L.A, and arriving to "Indian Wells" we had no idea what was still opened at 10PM. And of course we found nothing whatsoever opened at that time, only in L.A something would be open till 1AM. Anyways, this Del Taco happen to be open, and saved us from hunger. And boy did it fill me and my family up! I ate only ONE fish taco, and I was so full. They made everything in bigger proportions. Back in L.A its just a tiny weenie taco, needing 5 to have anyone full. read more

Nick sucks he is the most blah and rudest employee ever. Then when I try to order a shake he says it's broken ha that's what they always say. It looked fine to me...working in the food industry myself I know that's what lazy employees say so they don't have to set it up read more

This Del Taco is the best that I've ever been to. I'm here now having a delicious carne Asada breakfast burrito with a good friend. It's clean and friendly staff read more

Not my favorite location. No drive-thru. Line moves slow for ordering. Takes a bit to get your food. Seems disorganized. Really upset the company went away with the yellow nacho cheese. Seriously? Now the nachos suck. The white cheese is some sort of mix with pepper jack cheese and lord knows what else. Just not good. Even the plain quesadilla's come with something on it that has a spicy kick to it that I hate. My food yesterday was blah. Just overall not happy. The only thing I was into was the churro. read more

I mostly come through their drive thru at night, and the night shift is great at hustling through a rush. I've been here a few times during major lunch or dinner time rushes and for the most part the day shift does okay. I cannot emphasize enough though - ALWAYS CHECK YOUR ORDER BEFORE DRIVING AWAY. Mistakes happen. read more

I enjoy Del Taco from time to time. Nothing special at this location, the food is average at best. The quesadillas, fries and hard shell tacos from here are good. My only issues with this location is the restaurant was dirty and the wait time to receive your food was a bit long. read more

My favorite thing at del taco is the 8 layer veggie burrito. My husband orders other items. On 1-6-19 we got food to go in the evening. Our order had problems just like our last visit a couple weeks ago. This time we had a bag in a bag and the first bag had something we didn't order the second bag had our order. My food was not hot enough. Anyway beware my husband was super sick the next morning at work. Today he's fine everything left him while he was at work. We won't go back to that location again. Too bad. read more

Despite no drive thru, they are really overall a great Del Taco I had went here the other day and I got some food for myself because the Del Taco that I live close to the service there is pretty sucky but I came to this Del taco and I was served with great service and my food came out very quickly! Monika took my order and she made me feel like she would go out of her way for me! Monika is a great worker! I would definitely come here again! read more

I'm a new Del Taco fan. I love the freshness of all the food and the patience of all of the employees. I'm sure I was a handful trying to order for me and my family for the first time. We liked it so much we looked to see if there was any in Texas. Nope. Darn. But, we did come back for breakfast. While waiting for my breakfast I was watching the lady making the orders and she even fried the chips fresh. Wow. Love it! read more

Never fails, every time I make an order to go or when I eat there, the workers that make the food ALWAYS FORGET my fries and miss a few tacos that go with the order. Employees need to read their tickets more thoroughly. read more

Great Del Taco. Some of the options are a tad pricier than other Del's but the food is always quality and good-sized. The staff is super friendly, especially Adrik and the night boys. Del for life. I recommend the chicken rollers and bold burritos. read more
