    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.

Their salsa was outstanding, we actually bought a pint of it. We ordered their Menudo and wow, the flavors were excellent and they service it with lime wedges, white onions and cilantro on the side and homemade tortillas. We also ordered the chili rellano plate which was huge and delicious. This Mexican restaurant deserves high accolades to the chef, owner, and servers.

Quesabirria Tacos - 4 (small) tacos, a cup of sauce and a side of condiments, toppings. See pictures. If you have been following, I have been on a Birria Taco quest, trying this type of tacos every change I get. These were just okay. The sauce was good and it had generous meat/beef. But it lacked cheese?!?! See my last Birria Taco review at Mama Papa. Chimichanga - My wife really enjoyed this. She did not believe me when I told her that this was a deep fried burrito, lol. Generous portions, and she was only able to eat half. Guess we have dinner tonight. My wife and I felt the food was fairly authentic. BTW - EVERYONE ordered soup!! Menudo, Pozole, 7 Mares or Caldo de Res, etc! My wife really wanted to order this to try, but it was 70 degrees outside. Just means we have to come back. :) Kids menu also available. Atmosphere - Small location, the indoor and outdoor space was about the same size. Full of locals, everyone sort of knew each other which was cool. Semi open kitchen. One unisex restroom, I did not bother to check it out. Open 7 days a week from 8am to 8pm as per Yelp. Plenty of parking Service - Overall good, welcoming. Counter or table service. We kind of stood out, and not in a negative way. The owner/cashier wanted to make sure we enjoyed our meal. The waiter was a hard worker, cleaning our table, and bringing out chips and salsa to us. Then we went to the counter to order. Price - No prices on the menus?!?! $30 + generous tip. Reasonably priced, but for a "hole in the wall"?!?! Owner Comment - Congrats on your success.

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.

It can be overwhelming if it's your first time. But, if you know what you're craving, the decision might be easier. I could not make up my mind to just get 1 item. I originally came for ice cream and/or a sweet treat. I ended up getting 3 things. - Strawberries & Cheesecake ice cream. Not really worth it. The ice cream was vanilla with strawberry puree mixed in, so the texture was icy. And it had bits of cheesecake bites in it. It was underwhelming for me. - Esquites . I love elote and esquites. The esquites was pretty decent. Served warm with mayo and topped with cotija and tajin. Easy to eay and their small size is a good portion. I couldn't finish it. - Fresas con crema. Something so simple tastes so good. This was my fave and worth coming back for. It's a large cup of sliced strawberries swimming in a sweet cream mixture of Mexican crema, condensed milk, and evaporated milk, topped with whipped cream. It was so delicious. The portion is plenty for 1 person. I'm glad I have leftovers because I definitely would have craved it again. There are so many things to try that I definitely will be back to try their savory items. The woman who served us was extremely polite and helpful. We enjoyed our time there.
