Absolutely the slowest fast food joint I have ever witnessed. It is routinely empty and I still wait upwards of 20min for a few chicken tacos, which defies understanding. Just about any mom and pop taco place under the sun can shoot out basic orders within 5min. Considering the trademark garbage food quality, you’d at least hope for prompt service if nothing else. And indeed, there is little else to speak of, as the average cost for a meal per person is surprisingly high and the employee service unsurprisingly middling.

The service at this location needs a lot of help, had to wait about 5 mins to place an order though the drive trough and the guy taking the order had no idea what was going on.

What a great new location! Way closer to my work than the San Marcos location. The store was super clean and I have to say that the woman who took my order was very polite and in a great mood. Her name was Damaris. I had two half pound bean and cheese burritos and they came out super hot and tasty. This is a new location and the store looked great with everything brand new and even had a big screen TV. The outside of the restaurant looks amazing and they really did a great job with the landscaping which used to be look horrible when it was a BK. i would definitely eat at this location over the San Marcos location in the future.

This Del Taco location has replaced the unofficial “Temporary Hours” with an official Del Taco operating hours window sticker.

We ordered 2 meat burrito combo’s and chili fries. One burrito was good (#11 on the menu) the #10 burrito was like a sloppy Joe burrito. It had no texture of meat of any kind (picture eating a bean and cheese burrito but more wet/slippery). You couldn’t even hold up the burrito (it would slop down). The fries that came with the combo’s needed salt and the chili from my chili fries was more watery than I expected. Not going back. Service was fine. I liked that they had trays of ketchup, salsa etc. On every table (I didn’t have to get up and ask for some). Didn’t think about taking pictures until half way through eating!

Super clean inside With all the awesomeness of Del Taco eats. Fresh avocados are a big plus!!! It’s great that this place opened up, now the high schoolers have an inexpensive, healthy, convenient option for off-campus food.

So much better than Taco Bell! Their chicken cheese quesadilla is delicious! Not sure I love eating french fries with it in a combo but hey, not the end of the world.
