There was a specific manager named Diana or Diana there we had pulled up 30 minutes before closing. The fish tacos were literally a two out of 10 she had told me to bring them back tomorrow to replace my order. I asked if she could just give me four fresh tacos instead I paid $50 and she completely shut me down. I like to make a complaint and I like to talk to a manager tomorrow please and thank you. She also had the audacity to tell me to bring back the tacos tomorrow to see how they taste and she might be able to do something for me. I'll definitely be back tomorrow to speak to a manager. read more

Never seen anything like it. We like Del taco. Food was fine but wow the staff and the lack of staff. Drill sergeant behind the counter going off as soon as folks walk in the door. Giving the cold speech over and over "Welcome, use the kiosk". Between the high prices and attitudes literally everyone after us walked out. One older gentlemen obviously needed help and they just kept drilling him in how to use the kiosk instead of just helping him. 12.00 burrito at Del taco? I miss the good old days before soda companies ruined fast food. read more

Food poisoning the food tasted great. I took my friends there for lunch and they didn't get food poisoning, but I sure did.

The snack tacos are a joke at this location not even enough meat to fill the taco. The customer service was terrible also took almost 10 mins standing at counter just to get my order taken. read more

Del Taco - Half full taco - Mexican Near Me - Merced, California

I just came through the drive thru. I ordered 18 snack size soft tacos. They gave me 18 hard shell tacos at the window. I waved them back and told them I ordered all soft tacos. Noemi comes to the window and says "I heard you- you ordered hard shell." I said no I did not. I gave them the food back and asked them to make soft shells. She annoyed, took the tacos and said she would make them. She comes back and asked me to park up front so "she can help the people behind me." I asked for her name. She said why? I said bc I am going to report this interaction bc I don't appreciate being called a liar. I don't like being talked to like poop and being told I said something I didn't just bc they didn't listen and made a mistake. I basically just wasted $30 bucks bc I'm sure they spit in my food. Noemi was SO rude, and kept repeating "I'm not the one who took your order." Ok, well then why did you say "I heard you say crunchy?" AWFUL experience. My husband comes here daily for his lunch at work. Never again. read more

Went to Del Taco in Merced ordered there Fiesta Pak which has tacos and bean burritos, ordered it with crunchie tacos upgraded to the larger Del Tacos and burritos with extra cheese and red sauce. Got home with order the the burritos were flavorless no extra cheese or red sauce. The tacos were some scrawny looking dried up looking things with nothing in them not the upgraded ones I ordered the taste of everything was horrible. I stopped going to Taco Bell for this same reason wrong orders and tasteless food now Del Taco is on the same pace . Doesn't anyplace take any pride in business? They lost another customer I definitely won't go there again. Consumers be warned they are very very bad. Stay away not worth the money. read more

Del Taco - 3 layer queso Nachos - Mexican Near Me - Merced, California

Last time I'll go here. Fish tacos have gotten smaller. I said no tomatoes and had to pick a bunch out. Was asked if I wanted sauce and I said yes, but not given any and no napkins. It seems to get worse each time I go. read more

It would be nice for them to double check the bag when I ask if everything is in it, instead of just saying yes. I asked twice both times it was yes. And it would be nice for them to answer the phone instead of me driving across town for a stupid hamburger. It's funny that when the man manager is there, there's never any problems yet the woman, yea it's in the bag smh read more

I tried del tacos Nachos, inside the box was a scoop of bean & cheese in a corner. Didn't enjoy eating those Nachos! Complained to corporate, still waiting for their response! read more

The dinning room is open again. Thought I would try one of the new tortas. Got the carne asada torta combo meal for just over $12. The sandwich was very tasty. The meat was tender and the toppings blended well. A little you much tomato for my taste, but that's me. The fries were a little over cooked but were still good. The service was fast and friendly, as usual. The restaurant was nice and cool, and clean. read more

Was one of my go to spots because they had their value meals for under two dollars, but that no longer exists their burritos are now over two dollars when they were $1.99/ crunchy tostadas were $1.99 and are now the same prices their burritos the tacos have raised to $1.19 starting to hit Taco Bell prices and I am not a fan of that read more

Was craving a burrito so decided to drop by as I was in the area. I have been to this location and had a great experience but today was the complete opposite. Ordered a guacamole burrito and when I opened it complete disappointment. It was not appetizing. The meat was so salty and burrito lacked flavor. read more

Honestly del taco is slipping. I used to prefer them to Taco Bell, but now I'll try my luck at the bell. Used to offer the macho fries that were a good size, hot crispy and they would give you a big cup full of em. Now you get a soggy lil bag. What really irks me is this location only does taco Tuesday til 9pm now, when they used to go much later and even the website says til 11pm. Pretty lame, especially for a struggling college town. On the flip side they now have a Thursday chicken soft taco special which might be their only redeeming quality... overall hate what this place has become. Just not what it used to be and definitely not on par with the brand. There was this nice older Mexican woman there who was always great but now that she's gone the customer service is seriously lacking... always seem rude rushed and annoyed. read more

Mmmm... Del Taco... I prefer it much more than Taco Bell. The shells are nice and crisp the way they should be. At least they didn't change their recipe unlike the other chain. The meat is fresh and spiced well, and I really like the hot sauce. The only thing I don't get is getting fries with my tacos... nice add though and they are crinkle cut like I like. Cooked well, not greasy, and they are crisp. The green burrito is really good too. Everything is really fresh and they use lots of cheese. Awesome! read more

The burgers here are whatever, they won't blow your mind or anything, but for the price you can't really complain as they are still cheaper than some other places. I don't know about the "fancier" tacos that they sell here, but the classic hard shell taco is one hell of a deal for less than a buck. I hate when people ask which is better between them and Taco Bell, in all honesty neither of them are authentic Mexican cuisine so it doesn't really matter, I'm sorry to break it to all of you who believed they were, you know who you are. It's kinda odd to be excited about fries from a mock Mexican chain, but the crinkle cuts that they sell here are pretty tasty and I find it badass that they don't conform to the standard use of a paper cup like everyone else, they use it as their fry container. read more

I had to come and tried the beyond meat tacos.., First bite I'm going to tell you they put crack in this is beyond meat, because I'm not even on the second one and I'm already planning to go back and get more... it's too good to be true. read more

Del Taco - Beyond meat - Mexican Near Me - Merced, California

I would give this place a solid 5 stars, but the Del Taco in Merced specifically can be a bit ehh at times. Every time I go with my friends, I spend less than $5. I ALWAYS have some type of coupon when I go. For dinner yesterday, I had 2 coupons: 1 for a 1/2 pound burrito, and the other for a free shrimp taco with any purchase. So I purchased 2 tacos + the above for $1.07. :] The food is above decent. Taco Bell has its distinct taste right? You eat tacos from Taco Bell...and you know they're from Taco Bell. Del Taco however, tastes more 'homely' (as if they were made at home). Often-times I would bring a coupon, and I'd have a verbal battle with the manager(s), explaining to them that even though I printed multiple coupons, it says one coupon PER PERSON, so it doesn't matter that they're all the same. read more

Del Taco does good things well and this location is good. It's strange, but I like Del Taco more for their burgers than their tacos. Sure, I eat their tacos, but the cheeseburgers are really good. The fries are excellent. I miss the Fire-Roasted Veggie Bowl, though. The person behind the counter was friendly. He even brought the order to the table when it was ready, which happens at some locations. The food was good, hot enough, no problems. read more

They won't answer the door OR the phone if they make a mistake on your order. They make mistakes about 5 out of 10 times. If you fill out the survey on the receipt and request a call back, they won't call you back. They just don't care. read more

Variety of Mexican food and American burgers world famous French fries since 1967 good place to eat nice quick fast and affordable

In its category of fast food, Del Taco stands heads - but not shoulders - above the rest. The food is fresh, tasty, and hearty. For those that like fries with their Mexican, you can get that here! Del Taco is a mescla of Mexican & American food staples. I took off one star, because they keep all their napkins behind the counter. That's just aggravating when one' just made a mess. read more

Been going to this restaurant for nearly a year now every Saturday after work and the food is amazing. Service is great as well. I always see the manager, Edgar moving. he never stops, that guy.

One star ....yes it is 1 star ....I can't believe I gave my fav drive thru a one start. I am a huge fan of southwest chicken veggie bowl I am from south cal here for work , I been telling my colleague how much I love southwest chicken veggie bowl and convinced her for a lunch at del taco yesterday..... Here goes day 1 We drive thru very excited ask for a 2 southwest chicken veggie bowl ....go back to office and realize it is not southwest chicken veggie bowl Instead it is polo asado with no chicken ....my colleague made so much fun of me I felt sad and thought it's a human error Day 2 About 30 mins back I drive like 8 miles to get my southwest chicken veggie bowl. The guy asked me what I need ....I told him what i want and told him what happened yesterday he said sorry about that ....I wasn't expecting a free meal but it would have definetly sooth my mood. I drive thru and collected my bowl and drove back to my hotel. Surprise! Surprise! It's the same shit as yesterday and it's not even southwest . I had it for months almost everyday and it is whatever they mixed Story of my life ....still crAving for it Useless deltaco and dumb people who doesn't understand what customers want. They think we are dumb .... especially the mistake happened after a humble request from the earlier one. But I won't be dumb enough next time Watch out! read more
