So far so good new del Taco! Chicken soft tacos were delish! I got a grilled chicken avocado burrito that was every large and filling. Fries were hot and seasoned perfect! Everything tastes very fresh. The line inside the joint was only about 15 minutes. In other good news, they have orange Fanta!!! Thank you for finally opening in Chico! read more

My husband went through the drive thru to order food for our family of 5. He asked for two #4's which is a burger combo. The drive thru employee must have misheard him and gave home two #2's. (Burritos) We discovered the mistake when my husband returned home. I wouldn't have minded the mistake except for a few things. #1 when I returned to have the order fixed the cashier held her hand up and told me it would be a few moments - because she was taking an order for an employee who was standing behind the counter. #2. When the cashier finally made time to address my issue, she handed it off to her manager, who I didn't actually see, but heard his annoyance at having to deal with a mistake. #3. Although I walked in with a paper receipt with the time and date stamped on it they insisted on going through the computer to find my receipt. At this point, between the 10 minute drive to the store, waiting for assistance while an employee placed their order, and then waiting while the manager poured through receipts on the computer, it had been about 40 minutes since my husband had returned home...and my kids were still hungry. I got frustrated and decided to tell them to forget it and went next door to Jack n the Box to purchase a couple burgers. Once I finally got home, there was maybe half a slice of avacado on my now cold carne asada street taco. My cold Del Taco also had about 5 pieces of lettuce on it and then 4 inches of cheese. Definelty not worth 40$. We will not be returning anytime soon. read more

This is a review only of the Pollo Asado "bowl" with avocado and their drive through. The good: The 3 slices of avocado seemed fresh and nice. $4.99 for a bowl (if quality food) seems like a fair price. The person serving me was nice. The bad: The rice was terrible, the chicken and the rest was mediocre. I'll never order their bowl again. The drive through took much longer than at any other drive through restaurant (they are still new so they may improve). Except for them having their drive through service and quite a selection that for some may be appealing, after this experience right now I can't see why anyone would eat here as in Chico we have some great Mexican restaurants. I will give them one more try in maybe 3-6 months (when I don't want to get out my car to pick up food) and if my experience is better I will update my review. Until then .... I suggest you get your Mexican food at one of the many local Chico restaurants. read more

Sitting in drive thru for over 30 minutes. I ordered one item. Still waiting , no person has advised of why the wait time is so long read more

I love del taco and just ordered through door dash for the first time and I'm so incredibly happy lol!! My order was all there, 21 items in total and every single item was perfect and correct. Thank you guys so much! My food is super yummy!!! read more

The food was pretty good considering this is Americanized Mexican fast food. I enjoyed the fish tacos, and I also tried the Carne Asada fries. Service was friendly and fast. Didn't wait long for my food. Definitely better than Taco Bell. Me and my family will be visiting again! read more

Del Taco - Carne asada fries - Fast Food Near Me - Chico, California

Waited and waited for tacos, saw my order half finished sitting for 15 min while 3 ppl asked for 3 soft tacos about 12 times! When they finally made the tacos to finish my order they were given out through the drive through! Then when I asked for a refund the manager Lee very rudely asked "well do you want me to have them remake it all?" I said no I'd like my money back and I won't be back. Darn it I was excited for the Del Taco to open here :( Thank you Karen! Girls got their tacos :) she made it right! Glad I called in read more

Every time I visit this location it is consistently clean and the service is good. I usually have the fish tacos because they are surprising good for fast food. The food quality is consistently good as well. read more

I used to love our Del Taco but it's gone downhill. Today I went through the drive-thru and had to sit at the window and wait for the manager to demonstrate how to do a manager discount to an employee. This took about 5min. During this time my bag of food sat on the counter. An employee tried to give it to me and she told them to wait. By the time I got my food there were 4 customer bags waiting for others and my food was cold. She needs to find another job outside of food service. I will never return! I feel bad for the owner who is local read more

This is by far the worst eating-out experience I've ever had. We waiting forever to get our food, they forgot the fries for our order, gave us both the wrong burritos, & the food tasted horrible. They barely put any meat on our tacos and burritos. I will NEVER go to Del Taco ever again. Complete trash. I'll be choosing the taco trucks from now on - cheaper, order is always correct & WAY better tasting. read more

Del Taco, Chico CA. I have always loved Del Taco and when on the road have stopped at other outlets. This morning I visit our local Del Taco and quickly decided to never return. One, obnoxiously loud rap & hip hop music played on the in store sound system. Two, my breakfast burrito including a tortilla that resembled cardboard. Overcooked and stiff. Three, the potato pieces had been dipped in oil probably for an hour or more. I usually go to Starbucks or Barnes and Noble in the mornings. What a mistake I made today! read more

5-2-2023 As much as I seemed to complain, we discovered our favorite item at Del Taco: Crunchy Chicken Taco. Their beef no, chicken yes. Besides the affordability we have concluded this choice is best. Here's the joke: each time, three times so far, we order these we pay for the regular version called the Del Taco, and usually pay on the app. Usually 9, but to our surprise they always give us the Snack size, which is approximately half the size. No lie, and always through the drive thru. Don't want to antagonize the connection, as everyone knows you get on their wrong side, most eating places, is not a smart move. So to solve this problem we simply have decided to only get the Snack size, and perhaps we start getting the larger sibling, who am I kidding? The problem with the midgets is one gets less chicken, but more stupid is to repeatedly pay for the larger and keep getting their mini version. Their grilled Chicken crunchy tacos 3.5 Stars. read more

The food is ok but the place seems unkept at times. Trash not dumped. Trash left in the eatingbooth areas and on the floor. Bathrooms are dirty, too. People using them for bathing. Seems to be a lot of street people hanging out. This leads me to believe their hygeine standards are in need of improvement. The manager seems stressed and rude to her empolyeees at times and customers, too. The place is in need of a restart IMO. The place seems to have gone downhill since it opened up. Over to Taco Bell and it seems cleaner and better run. read more

I have been waiting for 30 mins for my food. all the workers are doing is sitting on their damn phone . screen is full of orders!

Horrible. Super slow. Food was cold. Drink order was incorrect. Overpriced and upset that I paid 11 bucks for food I couldn't eat

Has good vegetarian options and AMAZING churros. 10/10. Fast service and clean store.

I'd rather go across the Street to TB, my chicken burrito had more rice and beans than anything. I asked for extra lettuce and light on the beans and nasty rice. 1st and last time coming here. read more

Food is as good as it has always been. I have not had Del Taco in 10 years but the food is still awesome. I forgot how much I missed those perfectly salty crinkle fries and tasty cheese burgers. Now that's one tasty burger. The drive-thru set up is horrible and even before lunch hour at 11am 6 cars just 6 cars have the drive thru backed up into the parking lot. Whomever planned this layout really did a bad job. It seemed like each car sat at the order box for 5 minutes and it took me 30 minutes to get through the line. The prices are amazing though. $6.35 for a double cheese burger and large fries. That would have been almost $10 at Burger King. I know they are new so I hope they work the speed issues out quickly. Definately worth the wait and going back for sure. I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 just for the drive-they set up read more

Del Taco - Fast Food Near Me - Chico, California

They filled our beyond burritos with bacon bits. Wtf this is not cool for vegetarians.

Every now and then I crave Dell Taco. Then I go there and wait a rediculous amount of time to get my food. Nearly 30 minutes - inside no less! It already takes them Forever to get these orders around because they only pay attention to the drive through instead of focusing on Dine-In as well. They offered us free cookies - Are You Kidding Me?! Cough up a real apology - show me that you're sorry offer something more than the just the least expensive item on the menu. Like comp the meal for being unorganized, distracted, and unfocused enough to CLEAR our order before it was made. read more

Give them a while to get the kinks out of their routine. Excellent fast food. Quick and now I don't have to drive to Red Bluff and Redding to get their food. The French fries are to die for.... . read more

Fresh good tacos and burritos. Better than Taco Bell. Friendly service and clean. You get more for your money.

Worst experience for my first time. The crew member at the drive up looked and acted like a drug addict, my burritos weren't even wrapped properly. Be cautious eating here but don't even waste your money. Horrible experience and missing food items. read more

Come here twice a week wait in the drive-through for 20 minutes while the employees stand inside and chat completely unacceptable

They've been open for over a year now and are still the SLOWEST Del Taco EVER!! Ordering one combo meal inside with no line took almost 20 minutes. The drive thru was even slower....the opposite of fast food. I feel like after a year they should have it figured out by now.... read more

Very average fast food restaurant. Got in to Chico late one night and was looking for something quick to eat. Definitely was not quick as I sat in the drive through for a few minutes before being helped. Fries tasted old and tacos were very average read more

I went through the drive through. The guy at the window is bagging food, taking money and then hands you a PAPER straw with NO wrapper. Really? That's not good ever but especially right now with the CORONAVIRUS!!! I called to talk to the manager and it says this cell phone is not currently taking calls. What? read more

Where to begin... I understand the wait because it's the only del taco In chico and it's mainly kids working but when we came before it opened, we were given a couple coupons for a buy one get one free street taco which had a picture of a carne Asada taco on it. My boyfriend came back the second day the store was open and waited 30mins in the drive thru to find out that they do the deal for the "ground beef" not the carne Asada... Okay false adversiting Much? Then he ordered them anyway , they said it came in a box with rice and beans which suprise he never got, instead some limp tacos with red sauce which he asked to remove while ordering. I'll come back but dang these kids were supposed to have training off to a rocky start. read more

Went in for the first time yesterday. Great chicken tacos in the #5 combo and loved getting both my cravings met with both tacos and French fries! Didn't get senior discount at first but thanks to so.e other seniors who championed my cause, I finally got management involved who gave me the discount! So note to all seniors, ask for the senior discount before you order much less trouble lol. Will definitely go back!! read more

Had a really bad experience this morning at this del taco. They were really overwhelmed with not very busy restaurant, service was really bad with multiple mess ups. I don't normally think those things are a big enough deal to write a bad review, but what was most upsetting was how the manager yelled and cussed out the employees multiple times including dropping the f-bomb more than once. No wonder the employees were functioning poorly :( I would too in that kind of environment. read more

I'd give Taco Bell 3 stars as well. Taco Bell's food tastes better but is hit or miss with quality. So far been to this spot twice and was very consistent on each item being made right! read more

Worst del taco I've ever been to in my life... both times I've been there the food was undercooked and under portioned... the second time was the worst they screwed my ordered and overcharged me for shit I did not want... and the fries were under cooked and almost raw, I used to love del taco but this has completely ruined del taco for me.. read more

Have had previous good and bad customer service here in the drive through and mediocre service in the restaurant. Today's drive through worker taking ordered is bordering rude while the woman taking payment is amazingly sweet and chipper. The food is usually always good although sometimes its very hot while other times just warm. Need more consistency here, management. *Amy is ALWAYS very sweet* read more

My first time eating at a Del Taco ever and it was really good! I was craving Taco Bell but it's currently closed in paradise and it was worth the drive to Chico to try this place. We are inside and the place was busy but the wait was not long at all. The staff was super friendly and the place was clean. This was at 1:30pm, I was surprised. The food was very yummy I will definitely be back! read more

Food took about 15 minutes to be ready, granted they were busy but the line went fast. The macho nachos were horrible. Cold beans, too many jalapeños, and no flavor. On the plus side the beef taco was great and the place was clean. This is just an ok fast food place. Nothing special for sure although it's nice to have choices. read more

So, don't get me wrong I typically love Del taco. I understand they're new in town, but man the long wait, it's a train wreck inside. The person taking my order asked me three times to repeat My drink order, each time they repeated it back to me, then asked me again. Couple other things, they ran out of the item I wanted, and put a ton of onions on a burger, when I asked for none. Other than that the fish tacos are great. read more

The queso crunch tacos are the best! Good service at this location! Chips and cheese are delicious!

This place was phenomenal yeah it's a long way because that's how things go in Chico but the food is fantastic the grande burrito melt in my mouth as the savory beef was being to buy my molars and using beef and salsa flavors into my mouth I love this place. read more

5 stars when compared to their fast food peers! Lost of food made in house. They do a great job of filling up the shells and tortillas. Everything tastes fresh and fast food delicious! read more

I'm used to the Del Tacos that actually put some meat in their food. I really got ripped off here. I ordered 6 Dell chicken classic burritos. 2 for $5 x 3. What I got were not even one inch thick and that is the God's truth. I showed my boyfriend and he just shook his head. I tried to have them replaced later but they are very rude if you don't have a receipt and I one of those car people that doesn't keep them as I throw all my trash out. You don't expect to have to keep all your receipts every time you go to a window so when I drive through the parking lot I just toss all that stuff before I leave it. It really screwed me out of my six burritos I'd love to have them replace those with the tiniest little things I'm into these things he spent a dollar on all six and they really ripped me off oh and there was no cheese in them at all! None not even a shred read more
