    There were no Del Tacos where we hail from! This is only my second time in one. Let me preference this by saying I'm not naïve but I believe a certain level of professionalism should be observed. Starting with the food. Since I have next to no experience with this food, my opinion is a bit inferior. At this point, it's not my cup of tea. It tastes very odd. I do love those crinkle-cut fries. Their little ketchup packets compliment (let's face it, they will never be confused with Heinz). I'll confide that I was raised on Taco Bell. Honestly, I don't think any of you are reading this review to talk about the food...you've probably eaten far more Del Taco than I have. The cashier was incredibly friendly and comical, especially for an older worker in fast foods. I might return to this location just to yuck it up with her! Unfortunately, now comes the bad news. I was second customer through the door this morning and each of the tables I went to were covered in crumbs and/or food of some sort. Even the benches were evidently not wiped down last night or this morning. That's 101. I don't care what restaurant you're running. I'll take my order to go, thank you. This being said, I would be a bit hesitant to get a look at their kitchen. 12/19

    The Del Taco. Not my thing but if you're into them, THIS is the place to get one!!!

    Not too sure why all the lower reviews but....I barely ever eat fast food, BUT I USED to eat here all the time in Oceanside California. I would hardly ever get their signature burritos, just once in a while, but what I used to buy pretty often was those bean and cheese. Not because they're super cheap, just because they're super good, at least to me. I remember I used to get like six or eight at a time because they were fairly small, but I've been to this del Taco two or three, maybe four times, and every time I've gotten them, they were pretty big. Especially for only $1.79. This time before last, I bought three with red sauce and three with green sauce, but was only able to eat 2 of them! Today I just ordered one, and downloaded the app for the free "The del tacos". While waiting for the car ahead of me in the drive thru. Not exactly my favorite, but they sure aren't shy with the ingredients! Every time I've came here, the employees have been super nice, cheery polite and accommodating. I even didn't order my free tacos until I had already ordered my burritos and it wasn't any problem at all! The one time I went inside, the place was pretty clean from what I remember. Don't remember any music playing or anything. Just your basic fake Mexican fast food joint with nice people and good for a quick bite, with nice size portions for your money.

    We usually get fish tacos or they have taco specials on Tuesdays and Thursdays. For fast food they're decent.

Ambiance: Relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere with Mexican-inspired décor and cultural touches throughout the restaurant. There was a steady flow of guests, giving the place a lively but comfortable feel. Restrooms: Clean and decent, although a bit outdated. Service: Friendly but somewhat disorganized, possibly because we had a large group. The waitress initially told me the bartender was busy, but later realized she had never entered my drink order. She apologized and removed it from the bill. She also brought the wrong entrée for one of my friends but corrected it promptly. On a positive note, she graciously accommodated another friend's custom drink request even though it wasn't on the menu. Chips & Salsa: The first basket is complimentary. We were told additional baskets normally have a charge, but during our visit we were offered unlimited refills. Food: Fresh, authentic, and generously portioned. Recommended dishes: Salmon Atlántico, Fish Tacos, Artichoke Dip, Enchiladas, and Bistec.

We had 12 people with us (whole family in town), so we were excited to support a local place and bring them a big table of business. Unfortunately, multiple meals came out cold (5 in total), and we mentioned it immediately - calmly and respectfully - because we assumed they'd want the chance to fix it. Our waitress, Yemi, was honestly the best part of the lunch. She was attentive, kind, and genuinely apologetic. She handled everything with professionalism and grace. The manager (who may also be a cook) is what ruined it. He was angry, hostile, combative and argumentative right away - and what stood out most is he didn't even lead with solutions like re-cooking, replacing plates, or trying to make it right. No real apology for the food, and definitely no apology for the experience. It wasn't until AFTER we told him his attitude was awful and that he needs to leave us alone and let the waitress handle it (as he is making things worse) that he offered to either take the meals off the bill or remake them- and he didn't apologize at all, then with a massive chip on his shoulder he said again he didn't believe our food was cold. Some of us said take their food off the bill and some one of us had it remade. At the end as we were leaving, he actually doubled down on his awfulness and gave what felt like a sorry excuse for an apology. His version of "sorry" was basically: "I should have been nicer when telling you that you were wrong about the food being bad or cold." Then he said, "I'm sorry, I'm just really passionate about my food - especially when I'm told it was cold when I know it was hot."..... SERIOUSLY!? That's your apology for our experience and multiple people immediately telling you the food was cold, why would that many people lie.... Wow So... not an apology for our experience, not an apology for the cold food - more like "sorry you saw me get upset while I told you you were wrong." Food mistakes happen. How management handles them is what matters - and this was handled terribly. We won't be returning, and I'm sharing this so others know what to expect. Again, Yemi was great - she deserved way more support than she got.
