I agree with Roberta S. This location surprised me today at lunch. We were on our way to grocery shop and didn't want to go on an empty stomach (Hello putting EVERYTHING into the cart because you want to eat!) So we stopped in. There were a lot of people here and when we walked in the place smelled awesome. We split a few supreme hard tacos, chicken soft tacos, and the spicy jack quesadilla. The supreme tacos were awesome, fresh tasting sour cream and I LOVE Del Taco's shredded cheese. Chicken soft tacos were ehh. The chicken was weird shapes like it was chopped by a blind person instead of strips or shredded. It tasted as sad as it looked. The spicy jack quesadilla however, was probably one of the best quesadillas I've ever had, and I don't even like quesadillas that much! This one was just perfectly flavored, the cheese was melted and the chicken was delicious. Plus I think they used a press or something to flatten it and it was crispy and flat. I recommend this highly. So I am adding another fast food chain to my reviews, but for good reason. This Del Taco rocks. Oh and for two people we were full for a little over $8! read more

I stopped in out of convenience..... such a disappointment. My burritos beans were oozing out of the packaging and cold. My quesadilla was thrown in the bag and cold. Honestly won't go back. read more

Del Taco - You can't tell but that's a quesadilla on the right..... so disappointed in the service. - Mexican Near Me - Anthem, Arizona

Every time I go here the place is terrible. Dirty tables, understaffed and today no refried beans. I'm not sure how you're a Dell Taco and not have any beans for your lunch crowd. Completely unacceptable there's no pride of ownership. I do not recommend coming here. read more

Mmm... how delicious. Love the soggy fries and the surly attitude. I am sure your business is not long for this world.

Not sure who is the manager or who runs this location... but this has got to be by far the worst establishment in anthem, it's always under staffed, nothing ever works, I swear they are making their case for the worst restaurant to eat at. The food is disgusting, the building probably should be condemned, and the staff are rude. Closes at 11 but most of the items aren't available. Reporting this to headquarters. read more

So we stopped here to grab a quick bite to go and use the restroom on Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend. I place my order and pay for it, go use the restroom and what do I find when I come back out to the order counter? Young Male employee with braces sticks his hand into my food box and grabs a couple of french fries and shoves them in his mouth. Really gross restaurant worker? You are disgusting. Just one more reason for me to never eat fast food! I give you minus zero stars. read more

My 1st time trying Del taco. I went in 10:30am. Ordered grilled beef burrito. Honestly, it was GOOD! My burrito was huge and loaded with tasty grilled beef. Beans were moist and fresh. Overall, I am very happy with my 1st visit. read more

Review from 8/2/2022 visit: This Del Taco location is so, so bad. It has been understaffed for a while now, and they got our order wrong. Inside, the floors were gross and sticky, none of the tables were clean, and even the walls and windows were nasty. Our shoes stuck to the floor as we walked throughout the restaurant. The staff were rude and rushed. One employee was wiping his forehead with his gloved hand and continuing to handle food. None of the three employees that I could see were following proper cleaning and sanitizing protocols. I ordered (2) Epic Fresh Guacamole Burritos with Beyond Meat but got plain Beyond Meat Burritos instead. It turned out that that was what they charged me for, but it was not what I said when I ordered. They were so backed up rushing to keep up with the few people who came in to eat and with the drive-thru that I didn't dare go up to the counter because I would have been waiting a long time for them to make my order right and they seemed so stressed out they probably would have spit in my food or something. I did not want to risk it. A few months ago, we were going to eat here, but the dining room was closed and only the drive-thru was open. It was hot and we did not want to eat in our car, so we left. And a time shortly before that, we ate here and they were again understaffed and the place wasn't clean. This time the place was completely filthy. Our food was just thrown together in a barely wrapped burrito with a small amount of food inside. It felt gross to sit down and eat here. This place needs to be reported and major changes need to be made. We definitely will not be back. read more

This del taco is without a doubt the worst ran establishment. It took 17 mins for an order of 3 tacos! The employees are dressed like complete slobs and half of them don't even do there job. Tired to talk to Jeff the manager but he left "early". So I called... no answer. Figures. This place has horrible management, no standards for service and absolutely super unprofessional. Save your money and time. Eat somewhere else!! read more

Pulled up. Was asked to wait. Waited about three minutes. Then pulled forward as no one was in front of me. The kid was texting and playing with his phone. Backed up and was told to still hold again. read more

The hours on the website are wrong please update hours. I take the time to go there and the drive thru is dark as a dungeon. Are the workers just leaving when they want? What gives? read more

The smell of freshly replaced oil kinda ruins the sanitary feel. Most would assume it's rotten eggs. It's pretty rough. But the people inside were bright and cheery. The fries sitting out they quickly dumped and made me fresh fries. I didn't even ask but I watched them decide fresher was better. Good call guys. read more

Not even open at 7:30 for breakfast off major hwy...? Wow. I've never seen a Del taco not open at least for breakfast commuters.

Everytime I stop here the service is really slow and my order is never rite. If you go there around closing time all of the employees friends are hangin in the back. To me thats very unsanitary. read more

Rotten tomatoes, no seriously, they served rotten tomatoes on the hamburger. I know they are a taco joint but why serve rotten food read more

Del Taco - Mexican Near Me - Anthem, Arizona

See all

Of course first off you have to remember this is a fast food establishment. So I'll start off by saying Dakota was very kind and pleasant, our order came out fresh and fast. The tables were clean and the condiments were stocked. The bathrooms are what took 2 stars off, they were filthy and unpleasant. Couldn't even use it, the smell and the trash everywhere didn't help. read more

Great food, great staff and I can't believe how clean it is. I like restaurants that go above and beyond to stay clean and focus on quality.

I'm a sucker for fries and Mexican food and this place has them both. It was ran by all teenage boys who were all seemingly nice...they just couldn't get our orders right. "No special sauces" turned into "go ahead keep the ones that I put the sauce on". I can deal with that after they gladly replaced them, but I can't deal with beef instead of chicken... Over all, I'd go back again and was torn between a 3 and 4 star rating. read more

The bathroom was cleaner than the dining room. No ice, the wait was long. The girl taking orders was also making good with no gloves and funny no her hands through her hair. It was so gross we left and didn't eat our food. read more

Im only writing this cuz seriously, its a del taco. And people are so harsh. I mean what do u expect? This place has HUGE breakfast burritos and the guys working here today were super helpful and friendly. read more

1/2 a STAR! Hungry, tired and hot, my fam. and I visited your anthem restaurant. We went inside to place an order so we could take a load off from our long drive. We were the only ones in the place so immediately we walked to the front of the line to order. I stood there for 10 min while they ignored my presence scrambling to get 2 cars through the drive thu. The workers seemed completely out of it, and understaffed. At that point we should have left but we were already there. I decided to order the easiest thing on the menu which was the 8.99 meal deal, consisting of 4 tacos and 4 bean burritos with an added small french fry, and strawberry shake. The girl couldn't get my order down to save her life and kept switching from one register to the next. So I finally give her my order, pay and then after the fact she tells me the shake machines were down! Bummed, she hands me back my change. We gather outside, were waiting on our food for 15 min. Meanwhile, the tables were filthy, two of the employees huddled in front of a overflown, wind blown trash can to have a smoke. The bathroom was just as filthy. We go back inside to check up on things , they are still working on getting the 2nd car through the drive thru. We finally get our food, 5 lonely fries in a bag and no milkshake! The meal deal was barely edible, stone cold beans, dried up taco meat, hungry though we choked down what we could in dissillusionment . We definitely took a load off the next day, laxatives anyone? Thank you for your time and consideration. Estelle, Michelle, Tracy, Rebecca read more

Service was fine. Food was good. Dining rooms has a foul sewer smell that is beyond unpleasant. Needs to be addressed immediately. No on wants to eat food in a dirty sewer. read more

More like zero stars, came here for food well before they closed and went through the drive through three times watching the kids "working" talk and not acknowledge me then as two more cars go through I call about the hours and then tell me they close at 10 which on their website is not true at all when it's really 11 but anyways closing at "10" when I went there at 10:45 which makes sense they stay there 45 minutes after closing then as another car goes through the drive through they finally answer saying they're closed at 10:50 which makes even less sense and they just thoroughly enjoyed watching all the un happy customers drive through, awful experience when I was actually excited to go. read more

We stopped here on a Sunday afternoon for a bite on the way to Sedona. The restaurant is newer and quite a few young workers were on shift. Management should train the employees here! They were lethargic, not smiling or accommodating at all. The place wasn't even half full but there was not a clean table to be found. Youngsters standing around the register looking bored should rather be hustling out to clean tables with a smile on their faces...after all, they have jobs. Maybe it isn't the job you see yourself in forever, but wherever you are, you should be present; and taking pride in your work. I figured the manager probably took the day off, because the staff was asleep at the wheel. My friend found two roaches in the bathroom and one was still alive, on its back. She reported it to the cashier (who had just been texting on his phone) and he just said, "Ok". If I were the manager, or owner of this store, I would want to know! read more

0 stars!!! HORRIBLE!! The WORST location ever. We have been here several times and the service and food quality is unbelievable. How corporate hasn't stepped in, I don't know. read more

Food is typical Del Taco, but this location was filthy. Garbage cans full. Paper everywhere, tables dirty etc. Staff was not very attentive . Avoid this location. read more

Worst food and service ever; about 1 tablespoon of filling in a breakfast burrito and clerk wouldn't answer any questions: food tastes bad - pass this restaurant by! read more

I am originally from New Mexico. I haven't been back in this area for a while. Anyone who is from my neck of the woods knows that green chili runs through our veins. I was sadly disappointed with choosing to eat at Del Taco. I needed an amazing Mexican food restaurant and this was not it. :( dun dun dun.... ! read more

Foods good but they never open on time. That's a bummer when you time everything on the way to work and have to stop at second place to get food. read more

Soooooo slow! Took over 20 minutes for to go order. Three people working as one. Had over 7 orders stacked up. Took there sweet time. Worst fast food experience ever. read more

It should have been a sign that the food was not going to be good when they were too lazy to get the lights turned on the outside of the building... My French fries were mushy and barely warm. Better referred as on their way to being mashed potatoes... Tacos didn't taste much better!!! The employees were all standing around with their thumbs in their butts wearing sweaters with hoodies over there heads. Unprofessional if you ask me. On the upside my soda was refreshing. Thank goodness that didn't get messed up... read more

Just had the best, friendliest service from the manager at this Del Taco. He was handling a very tough computer system issue and a very cranky customer at the same time. He handled it will class and calm. I commend the staff: Caitlynn, Finny, Maddy and Caitra! read more

Sitting down and eating the grilled chicken avocado ... and I must tell you I rated to stars only because I find it two things that where good about this location. One was the service from the customers was very nice. And D ingredients were fresh such as avocado lettuce cheese etc. but the meat was horrible !! Not real meat!! read more

Nine dollars for one TINY carnitas taco and a medium order of jalapeno rings. What a rip off! The rude lady working the drive through hit the wrong button on the register, cursed, then grabbed a calculator to total my order of two items. I should have questioned the nine dollar total, and had I known how minuscule the carnitas taco was going to be (seriously, it was one bite, that's it) I certainly would have. Now don't get the wrong idea, this place has problems beyond just the price and point of sale issues. I usually don't complain about price and I'm willing to pay if the food is good, but there was nothing about the food to redeem my experience. The taco was dry, like it had been sitting quite a while, and flavorless. I live less than a mile from this place and will never be back. read more

Ok.. Love this place. But how in the heck do you run out of beans, seeing how half there menu consist of beans! Unreal time to hire a new manager! read more

Worst experience I've had here. First we walk in and the guy at the counter looked at us a few times but wouldn't help us. We waited almost 5 mins and were about to walk out. Our food was soggy and falling apart, fries were cold. All the employees that I could see were talking crap about the costumers in the drive thru in front of costumers in the lobby. They all seemed unfriendly and didn't seem to care about their jobs. If I was in charge I'd fire all of them. They are what makes a company look bad. So way to go whoever you are that was working Tuesday March 26, 2019 and 3pm... read more

This establishment is always a very fun and delicious place to eat with my family. The manager Adrian is very friendly and chubby like a little teddy bear. the cook with all the tattoos is one of the sexiest man I have ever seen in my life, if I was gay I would ask him to marry me! read more

Traveling from Az to Ca there are a lot of Del Tacos I stop at and I really like their food when made right. But the Anthem Del Taco is the wort run one probably in the entire chain. There is this old lady that works there and is nasty to the customers and I saw her yelling at one through the Drive-Though almost to the point of a Fist Fight. That happened after I noticed the cockroach on the floor as I was bating off a fly from attacking my taco. It felt almost like a cartoon joint rather than a Del Taco from the others I go to while traveling. So just a hint, drive to the next Del Taco and good luck to you if you enter the Anthem Del Taco. No Thanks! read more

This place is a whole lot better than you would think. Although it is a chain restaurant the stewed meat they use seems homemade and they give you a giant amount on their tacos. If you want some great cheap Mexican food in a hurry you could do a lot worse. The burritos are beyond huge and everything is very tasty. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Also, choice of a free cookie or small ice cream for dessert. read more

Terrible... Place is ran by retards. Almost impossible to get your order right. The last time I tried to eat here through the drive-through I just left after 3 failed attempts at understanding my order. Pathetic. Run this place out of business and put a burger king in. read more
