Del Taco

This location rocks, they have great deals and a great variety of items to choose from. Amazing prices for a quick meal. When I go drive thru, never a single problem. However when I order delivery…I have had three times where I pay extra for large fries in the burger box but still get the little basic one. I also notice each time this happens, zero sauces. Impossible to get help from the delivery apps regarding these problems so here I am possibly saving someone else the headache. I’m sure everyone is hard at work, but I’m tired of getting snubbed even if it is only a couple dollars. Every dollar counts out here in California 🩶

You know what? It’s just Del Taco but some fast food locations are def better than others and this one always delivers. I came at 6:30pm on a Friday (cuz I know staff matters too!!) and all of them rocked my world in the best way. Food was delicious, service was courteous and efficient, five stars. It’s not the most rewarding job so I truly appreciate that. Thank you Del Taco employees?

I'm writing this on behalf of my sister, who had a disturbing experience at this Del Taco location. While going through the drive-thru, she handed her card to the cashier, who then pulled out her phone and held it near the register—right next to my sister’s card—as she was swiping it. She couldn't see what the cashier was doing with the phone, and it immediately made her uncomfortable. In a time where identity theft and card scams are incredibly common, that’s a serious red flag. When she spoke up and said it made her uneasy, the cashier brushed her off and said, “You should have alerts on your card for scams and stuff.” That response is unacceptable. There is absolutely no reason for a cashier to have their phone out during a card transaction, especially so close to a customer’s payment info. It looks shady, it feels shady, and it opens the door to potential fraud. If Del Taco cares about customer trust and safety, this behavior needs to be addressed and corrected. This isn’t just a bad attitude—it’s a risk to people’s financial security.

Great Food and Great Service. The thing that seperates This Del Taco location from 5 stars is that it has no place to plug in my phone while dining in. I've never had a bad meal here. One favorite is Carne Asada fries. I sometimes steal a little carne asada, tomatoes and guacamole and put on ctunchtada or other items.

This place has truly gone down hill. I came in and ordered a number 10 epic burrito combo. She asks "medium or large?" I say, what ever is on the menu. She replies "small". I reply 'oh, you didn't mention that.' Now, at this point, I'm willing to let it go as it's a minor issue. And, of course, this is how these places upgrade you without you knowing. But then she cops an attitude by saying "Jesus Christ" like I did something wrong for asking. That just pisses me off now. And, I will admit I can be a real jerk sometimes. But when some overpaid fast food jockey gives me attitude... they deserve my disrespect. I should have just canceled the order and walked. I regret not doing it now. This is the mess they served me. I'm almost afraid to eat it. What a dam mess. The sad thing is that the drive through was empty and I was the only customer in the place. So the least they could do is make it right. I had to go was my hands again after eating. I came apart in my hands. I won't be back with this nasty attitude for a person. And the puss po2or way the quality control is.

Today is my last day for fast food! I decided to have Del taco in Lemon Grove. I was treated very well as I ordered my food. I brought the whole family and had the fiesta pack and macho fries. Food was fresh and we had a good time eating dinner together. Good place to take the family at a reasonable price for fast food.

I wanted to try these Epic Tortas at Del Taco. I went to the one located in Lemon Grove. I was helped by Claudia at the drive thru . She was very friendly and helpful. I ordered the 2 Epic tortas of carn asada and chicken bacon ranch. I loved the Carne asada better than the Chicken bacon ranch. The steak was tender, seasoned, and no fat / gristle. The bread was toasted and nice & soft. I enjoyed both tortas. I would definitely try it again. Overall, I'll give this place a 5 star rating.

What can you say... it's fast food made to order. Also the cheapest fast food going. Oddly enough they have a great burger (Double Del cheese burger). One more thing, download the app (it's worth it)

I was in the mood to eat Del Taco Restaurant Beer Battered Fish Tacos for my lunch today. I drove over to the Lemon Grove Plaza on Monday, August 24, 2025 after 1 PM today and I placed my order with one of the friendly staff. I ordered 3 Beet Battered Fish Tacos with 4 mild Tacis sauces. For my beverage I ordered one large size Iced Coffee and my favorite treat is the New Orange Creme Shake. These ingredients in this Beer Battered Fish Tacos include Beer Battered Deep Fried Cod Fish, shredded cabbage, pio pico sauce, a creamy white spicy sauce and a wedge of lime to sprinkle on top of this Pollock kind of fish taco that is wrapped in a warm flour tortilla. My total bill was $16.35. Every bite I have taken eating these 3 Beer Battered (Pollock) Fish Tacos was so delicious and included very healthy ingredients. The large size Iced Coffee is a very refreshing and tasty coffee flavor. And the new Orange Creme Shake really brightened up my humid day this afternoon. The Orange Creme Shake tastes like a Orange Creme Popsicle it's one of my favorite ice cream flavors. This Del Taco Restaurant location is my absolute favorite Mexican restaurant that I hang out at in a regular basis. I definitely recommend these Beer Battered (Pollock) Fish Tacos.

I was here yesterday, Service not that great. The restaurants not that clean at all. I ordered me a bean and cheese burrito with green sauce. The tortilla was so hard. I barely could chew it. Beans were not even warm. Cheese was not even melted. I do not recommend this place. I have a Del Taco app, but I may be getting rid of the Del Taco app just because of this location, I will probably never go back to the Del Taco location ever again

Quite a diverse menu with a lot of options, the inside of the facility was very clean and organized. And my opinion short staffed is only two people were there, but then again they were assisting the drive-through because there was nobody inside the dining facility itself.

Sad sad taco I used to work at Del Taco and this would be no go for the portions I mean if you're running out of food, just say that might as well have paid for snack taco instead of the Del Taco.

I would like to acknowledge this very well run team and they work very hard here and everything is so fresh to order and they have a very good atmosphere highly recommended well

If I could give zero stars I would. They are.rude, I say hello and thank you and nothing. If you hate your job or people get out of customer service. The quality is crap too. This location is ghetto

I was craving a sandwich and saw I had an offer on my Del Taco App of 2 Epic tortas for $10.00. I went to the Del Taco on Ast. Downtown. This area is really sketchy, so be careful driving in the drive thru. The drive thru woman seemed not as friendly with me. I was polite and said hello & thank you . She ignored me and shut the window. I must say the tortas were pretty good. I'll give this Del Taco a 3 out of 5 stars. Once again be careful driving here. I wouldn't recommend it during the evening. Stay safe my friends.

Will you make Del Burgers?? Just: bun Sauce Scoop of meat Onions Cheese Lettuce Tomatoes Done. Can I get that?? And how much??

I ordered items that wasn't expensive but the person who took my order rang up something different than what I asked for... this seems to be the norm now days so be careful when you place your order. This is an old trick that people working the front counters do!!!!! (7060 Broadway, Lemon Grove, CA 91945)

Ordered though drive thur 2 ranch chicken soft tacos which my daughter enjoyed and 2 hard shell grilled chicken tacos. I am not sure why but today the tacos seemed smaller than usual, but the tacos were made evenly across and with the right amount of ingredients. I also appreciate when their food is made right and not just thrown together it makes the meal/snack much more enjoyable.

The entire staff was extremely nice. The quality of food was fresh and tasty! The ambience was friendly and welcoming.

Very good and reasonable salad because they discontinued the pollo asado avocado bowl but either way the salad is simple and I get full.

It's been a while since I've been to a Del Taco. I used to go the one in Santee with my brother. Anyways, I got here and I wasn't sure what to get, it's been over ten years. I just knew I wanted chili cheese fries and something else. I saw a good looking burrito at the dive thru and ordered with Maria. She was very kind, nice, and patient. I told her what I wanted and she said I can get this as a combo, I did not know that as it's been a while. Thanks for your patience and helping me save money, Maria!

These folks are so cool! It's awesome to get some quick fast grub. The friendliness makes it all the better. A couple of them even recall my order from a year ago.

The three layer nachos where mediocre and didn't really have much of any flavor! Could have had a better presentation wouldn't order again! Went home and added more to it and seasoning! The del carbon was decent 6/10 less sauce more meat is recommended the cilantro could've been fresher! Would I come back probably not!

Come through the drive thru a lot and today came in to pick up my order. I was really surprised to see the cook on the grill had NO covering over his beard??? That is a health code violation. I don't think I will be coming back here again because that is very disturbing and I have a beard and any place I have worked at with food masks over the beard are always required!

Big beef burritos giant crunchy tacos and delicious crinkle cut fries my go to place for fast food tacos

I go to the Albertsons and Gamestop in this plaza occasionally and also come here once in a while. It is clean inside and food is always consistent. I am a hot sauce fiend so I'm glad they stock it at every table. They have an ongoing 2 for 5 deal on some of their higher end burritos which is nice, but can never go wrong with the half pound bean with red and green sauce, add onions.

This is my first time coming on here to complain about food but the picture speaks for itself. I ordered a cheddar snack quesadilla for my daughter and this is what I got...

The child working the drive-thru at night on Thursdays better learn some manners. It's none of our fault that he has to work that job

I know it's taco Tuesday and you get what you pay for. I asked for extra lettuce and was ignored. But this measly value deal is a ripoff. Hey come on here! I got six kids to feed.

Sometimes the lobby is open, sometimes it's closed. It would be nice if there was a sign on the front door letting you know when it's closed so you don't have to hassle yanking the locked doors.

I went there after work for a chicken and guac burrito combo with a strawberry lemonade. The lemonade wasn't anything special, but after consuming my meal, was definetely the highlight of my purchase. The burrito could have been better wrapped by a 5 year old who had intermediate training and over 30 seconds. It was half lettuce and tomato until the bottom half, which was just crammed with chicken. The fries were cold, not cripsy, and not salted at all. Considering it almost took 15-20 minutes just to get through the drive through, and it costed a little over 13 dollars, I will never be here again.

I love Del Taco. Unfortunately this location rarely makes my order correctly. They often forget items or do not make an item correctly. Recently I ordered nachos and the chips had been fried in either bad oil or oil that had fish fried in it. It made the chips taste awful and the nachos inedible. The inside of the restaurant is usually clean however the play area really needs to be cleaned. It smells and looks awful. I will not even let my son walk in there. If you are craving Del Taco make the drive to MIssion Valley, at least you will get what you ordered. If you do come to this location make sure you check your bag for every item as they will most likely forget something.

Getting my car worked on down the street, so I walked to get some del taco. No take out available. Drive through only. Just lazy. Of course they will use covid as an excuse to be lazy.

Del taco is one of my favorite places But I'm not a big fan of this one The service isn't to good and neither is the food There aren't that many nice customers either

Fast service and Isaac was super friendly and helpful. First time trying the Beyond Meat tacos! So gooood.

Came here through the drive thru late at night after a long day and were taken care of by Kaleti. He was very patient and attentive with our order and had a personable attitude! This review is based solely on his service he deserves all the credit this place can offer! Thank you

The drive thru was incredibly slow with only 2 cars ahead of me. I'm a bit irritated they forgot my chips that I ordered (only got the guacamole which is now pointless) Wish I had the time/energy to drive back.

4 stars for Del Taco. Yes I'm a fan. Just know you are not getting gourmet food, but for the quality of food and the super cheap prices, its really a cool place to eat on the cheap. Nice big location in Lemon Grove. It even has a small play area for kids. I ordered the 2 fish tacos with fries and a medium drink. Good cheap food. Food was served fast and the young lady employee was very kind and cheerful. The menu is vast and at great prices. On Tuesdays you have the option of 3 tacos for $1.39. They also have a deal for any 2 supreme burritos for 5 bucks. Check out the 1 dollar menu too. The inside dining of the location is clean. Only minus was the restroom was super dirty.

Del Taco is sort of a rival of Taco Bell. However, they offer better options at the 1$ price level. For something on the cheap and really quick drive thru service, it is near impossible to beat. 24 hours a day, every single day of the week they are open. The majority of the time I get the 1/2# bean and cheese burritos at least. As well as the grilled chicken taco and the bean tostada. That strawberry lemonade is also one of our staples. Everything $1. Wut? In a sense, you get what you pay for, but really, let's be honest here, the price cannot be matched. For instance, we, as a small 3 member family can actually all eat for like $10 or so. That is pretty much unheard of in this day and age... Just beware of the transient types that hang around here. Which is precisely why I use the drive thru 90% of the time...

My review is for their backwards way of online ordering and waiting in the long drive thru line to pick it up because they lock their doors. Had I known I wouldn't have place an order here since the food was semi warm and soggy when I finally did get it, that's the whole point of online ordering NOT wait in the drive through line.

came in 45 prior to closing and they had the audacity to say their grill isn't working so they can't make a simple order of the classic double del burger. Worst customer service ever about the whole situation too all they said was "we can't do that right now" and continued to lie to me about a broken grill. I work in the restaurant industry so I know they most likely started pre closing but to close your grill down for the night is just ridiculous and lazy.

I have loved Del Taco for years, but coming to this one is my fav. Really great service and friendly staff.

I stopped here to finally try the vegan meat .... I have to say for fast food it's a little over priced. I got the Cali burrito and avocado beyond taco. Neither had avocado- devastating. But the burrito was actually really good when you're in the mood for fast food. The taco literally looked like they threw it in the bag and shook it tho so I couldnt eat it hahahah

Honestly, i am not really a fan of fast food. I used to think this place had nothing healthy. Now I am so surprised they have so many great beyond meat (veggie meat products). They are really good!! I tasted a beyond meat burrito and beyond meat taco. I am surprised how good they are. This place is really way better then I ever thought. Also, this place has an indoor playland for kids. It is great to have the kids play in an indoor playland! So nice to be in air conditions in July! It is enclosed so kids can't escape like some play areas. It is good for kids 1-8. We will definitely come more often!! I am so pleasantly surprised!!!

WTF..... im sitting here eating my Del Taco order without sauce, yea that's right.... they were out of sauces!!!!!! WTF No sauce packets, nothing Never heard of anything like this in my life Then he goes on and compares to McDonalds if their shake maker was broken?????? Just NOooooooo

Not the best Del Taco. Mediocre quality, COLD French fries and an impatient person taking your order. A shameful display.

This was my first time ever at a del taco, and it was pretty much what I thought. The restaurant itself is clean and spacious. The food is fresh, but it's not that great tasting. The green sauce is not necessary as it is not flavorful nor adds value to the item. However the fries (crinkle cut) are very good and come out piping hot. I do have to say the service is very good, I felt welcomed and had my questions answered and even got suggestions, so 5 stars on service. I would rather prefer Taco Bell, it's almost the same stuff just different cooking methods. And they have burgers here.

As far as a fast food restaurant, I believe this is a fairly good location with few "issues". They are going through some hiring problems and due to that, the inside dining has been closed as of late. The food has always been good for us and very rarely are our orders missing something or incorrect. I'm not a fan of the rotating menu, but it is good when the food items I prefer return. I do appreciate the evolving menu, as in new items, maybe that's the reason for the seasonal menu, otherwise the menu would be too large? What I like the best are the fresh ingredients, which are made at each location, as opposed to pre-made, bagged or canned ingredients! If you like guacamole, it's one of the best in my opinion.

Best service! Love the staff that have been working in the drive through and the manager very friendly! Just moved in the neighborhood and this Del taco is always packed and is quick and the food is always fresh.

I come to this Del Taco often, but usually during the night shift. The few times I have gone during the day, the service was mediocre. So today, I was running late and had to grab something quick so I figured why not just hit up Del Taco as a grab & go. I order Chili Cheese fries. I get my food from the drive thru, they wish me a good day, and I go on about my business. When I get to the office, I was beyond pissed! My chili cheese fries were in the bag UPSIDE DOWN, and when I opened the box my fries looked like the picture attached!! There was barely any chili or cheese. Also, the fries were cold! I still gave this place 3 stars because MARIA, who usually works the night shift NEVER disappoints! C'mon Del Taco, DO BETTER!

Came here with the fiancé for a quick bite! Shout out to an older employee named Laura who handled the drive-thru efficiently though a very busy time. She was able to provide amazing customer service, she repeated the large order my fiancé & I had. Never had an experience quite like this at Del Taco. Highly recommend their $1 Iced Coffee drink as well as their $1 Strawberry Lemonade. Their crunchy tacos are ALWAYS delicious as well as their cinnamon churros. This time their Pollo Asado Bowls with Avocado were ok, we could not finish it- the rice was not cooked all the way. Overall we had a great experience!

Worst experience ever!!! Went through the drive thru and of course there was a long line. They had an employee come out and take orders before you even get to the ever changing menu. We weren't ready yet so she went to the car behind me and eventually I got to order at the menu. Paid for my items and got my bags and was in my way home. They gave me 100% the wrong order so as I was driving back I called 3 times with no answer. The door is locked so we had to get into the drive thru line again. I explained that they had given us the wrong order and produced the receipt. Finally got the correct order and drove home only to find all of the food cold and stale like they held into it until I came back. I will NOT be going back to this location. Pitiful.

Food was ok. I would like to say Great job John H. John was very friendly and nice. Thank you for your great customer service!

I have not eaten at Del Taco in years since the .39 cent taco. I ordered the #15 special today which came with a soft drink, 2 burrito's and chili cheese fries. I would have to say the food wasn't terrible. I am not sure what I was expecting. But I really enjoyed it for the most part. I would say it would be nice to have more filling in the burritos. Not bad for a quick bite of food for about $6.00 and their sauce is still the bomb!

I hate Del Taco especially while doing delivery I called them 15 times but no answer on phone website shows lobby open until 10 pm but it is already close at 8 pm. Most horrible thing is drive thru too long and it takes 30 minutes or more to get order

Normally I go to Del Taco to enjoy quality food with family. Today is was grabbing some things with my mother and we decided to head to Del Taco amid the Covid-19 craze. I took a chance on Del Taco and they blew it. The window worker was receiving money and interacting with people using the SAME GLOVES to get the food for the customers. Talk about doing more harm than help! Whoever the manager or higher up is, needs to properly debrief the workers on how and why gloves are important. This is a mockery of Del Taco's protocol and NEEDS to be attended to IMMEDIATELY.

Another example of young people working and not understanding customer service. The counter worker stood having a personal conversation with a friend while the line behind grew from zero to five customers waiting. Customer brought to their attention a spill in front of the condiment area, response"yah we know about it, it's throw up!" Took 12 minutes before someone came out to deal with it. Overcharging customers on taco Tuesday. Advertised price 3 for $1.49. Bought 9. Instead of $4.47 plus tax it came out to $7.71 plus tax. Brought to counters attention. They Couldn't figure out why. Called for help, couldn't figure out why. Let them know this was more about every other customer coming through. They agreed but did nothing. Watching customers get overcharged at every order. Man order 15 value tacos plus large drink. Pay $16. Should've paid $10.04 plus tax.
