Del Taco

Did I just drive 4 hours round trip, on Christmas Eve, from outside Richmond, VA just for Del Taco? Yep. Would I do it again? Definitely! I’m originally from SoCal so when I heard Del Taco was coming to VA Beach…say no more. I hadn’t had Del Taco in YEARS, have eaten there 100s of times, and everything was spot on. Just like I remembered. If you live near VA Beach or have never experienced Del Taco, do yourself a favor and go there. Thank me later. This location is going to rock. I look forward to Del Taco coming to Richmond!! To the Owner Brian: Great job working the kitchen alongside your staff on Christmas Eve. You don’t see that everyday. The place was super clean, staff was great, and the food was delicious. Good luck down there and thanks for the Fiesta Pack for the road 🤙🏻

As a SoCal native where Del Taco is basically a food group, now living in Virginia Beach, I had to check out the Del Taco that finally made its way here 🌮✨ And let me tell you—it did not disappoint. Everything was fresh and tasted just like home, and the staff was super friendly and helpful. My go-to favorites? The chili cheddar fries with extra cheese (because obviously), the classic value snack-size tacos, and the classic bean & cheese burrito—add green sauce, onions, and extra cheese for perfection 🤌🧀 So excited to finally have Del Taco in Virginia Beach! 🙌🌴

As I walked in, the manager or owner was about to leave, he was thanking the staff and saying goodnight to almost all of them I think. So everything aside, that was awesome!! That alone will make me come back and give them another try. Food is not impressive, very small tacos so you’ll need a large fry, yes that have fries, to fill you up. The classic burrito was not great, the grilled chicken burrito was the best thing I tried. Might try their burgers and epic burrito next time. Staff is very very helpful, they’re new and they’ll make some mistakes but give them a break, I’m sure they’ll get better. The place is brand new so it is clean. Will give them another try soon.

The crinkle fries were cold and dry when I got them last order so I didn’t bother this time, should’ve listened to the reviews. I’ve picked up my mobile order 4 times in the drive thru since there was a line inside and an empty drive thru every time. I got told to go inside this time, and wait in line for my food that was already done and sitting on the counter. Another 10 minutes before I could get to the counter and ask someone for my order when I could’ve just gotten it handed to me through the window. Best part: The girl who told me to come inside who was at the drive thru window, STANDING AROUND DOING NOTHING! The entire 10-15 minutes I was in the lobby waiting behind the multiple people who were ordering at the kiosk. Order ready at 6:10, maybe even 6:15 to be safe. I got it at 6:30. I get it if there are multiple cars in the drive thru, multiple mobile orders, but mine was the only one sitting in a bag packaged. No cars came through either in the drive thru while I was there and even now as I write this in the parking lot! lol. The only helpful one was the young lady at the counter restocking cups, she went and got it for me immediately and was nice.

We were disappointed. I wasn't expecting gourmet but I mean this wasn't good at all. My husband said the burger reminded him of Flanders frozen burgers. And the tacos sure sub par. The street taco had promise but still failed. The crunchy taco wasn't as good as taco bell. I'm sorry if that offends anyone. This place wasn't worth it for us. Maybe we'll try again another time.

12/27/25 10:30am my first time at a Del Taco. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Their fountain drink selection is good with Barq's root beer and Gold Peake tea. I got a grilled chicken burrito and beef queso nachos. I felt the portion sizes match the price and they were not stingy with the beef on the nachos. I enjoyed the queso. Crossing my fingers that this location keeps up the good work down the line as this area is losing a lot of fast food options lately. I hope the company fixes their App because for some reason this location won't show up.

I'm from California and have been anxiously awaiting this Del Taco to open. The food is good! However, the employees... they need help and to get their hearing checked. Ordered bean and cheese burritos and they continously repeated back "beef and cheddar". No. Bean and cheese. With the manager standing over them to ensure they make bean and cheese burritos, and after waiting a half hour, we still somehow ended up with 5 beef and cheese burritos. I'm genuinely confused how someone can mess up repeatedly like this. The manager was very nice, but unless they hire new crew members, this location is doomed to fail. Update: After going back, the managers made sure these burritos were the best ever made. Again, managers were great but the crew still needs help.

The restaurant location is new, so maybe things will improve, but so far it's been pretty meh. I took off one star because out of four visits I've gotten the correct sauce once, and I took off another star because they don't participate and nationwide Del Taco promotions like Taco Tuesday. Also the door is right near the drive-thru window, with pedestrians exiting the building directly into the path of people leaving the window around a blind corner, which as a new building is a terrible design decision. The food is pretty good though, all things considered.
