I stopped here for a refreshing drink after lunch at La Baguette nearby. I wanted something different (I usually drink sparkling water or coffee/tea). So imagine my delight when I saw an advertisement for strawberry sprite in the window! Strawberry Sprite: 4 stars! Ice cold bubbly sprite with a little spoonful of strawberries. A bit sweet for my normal taste, but it hit the spot! Service: 5 stars! The person who took my order was competent, efficient and very nice. The order came out fast and even though it was just a beverage, I appreciated it. read more

So I do not like sauce on my burritos and I asked for onions and they didn't give it to me. Came back and asked him for more onions and he told me oh well let me see your receipt. He was a big brown guy wearing a button up shirt. read more

Do not stop here! Taco no meat, missing food items, fries under cooked ( reheated). All the burritos were very very small due to lack of ingredients. Will never return. read more

This location was very dirty, Liquid on the floor in the dining area. Took 12 minutes to get 2 tacos, 1 bean Burrito and a small fry (this is with 6 people in the kitchen alone). Food was just ok. read more

If you're looking for the slowest drive-through in town, congratulations, you've found it. My husband sat in line for over 20 minutes with a cranky toddler in the backseat... and get this, there was only ONE car in front of him. Apparently, the driver ahead was conducting a full-on accounting audit through the window, handing over multiple receipts like they were filing taxes. And did anyone think to ask them to pull ahead or (heaven forbid) go inside? Nope. Let's just hold the entire line hostage instead. Brilliant! Meanwhile, our toddler was melting down, pooped his diaper, and was begging to go home for a drink. But hey, who doesn't love turning a quick dinner stop into a full-blown endurance event? And the grand finale? My husband's burrito came smothered in cheese ... even though he specifically asked for no cheese. Because why bother listening to customers when you can ruin the order after making them wait half an hour? Never again. This location is an absolute joke! read more

The orders were mixed up. Everyone waited forever because they were so disorganized. People went up to get their money back. They need to get their act together! We sat there forever to get their food. read more

Service was the worst she yelled at me because she was busy with drive thru no time for people that came inside

I hate leaving bad reviews but this location is 1 star. Sad I'm leaving a second bad review but absolutely necessary. Unfortunately this is the closest location near my house and uber eats picks up from here. My uber eats driver asked the del taco employee twice if the order was correct cause the bag felt light and they said YES when in fact is was missing items! This poor lady drove back and got it for me after me trying to call del taco and being hung up on every time or them not answering. CORPORATE if you see this, check this location throughly because they mess up orders ALL THE TIME and don't ever apologize or feel bad , in fact they make you feel like you have inconvenienced them! Hoping someone in power sees this and steps up the quality of food (minimal meat and small portions compared to every other Del taco) and service. read more

Quick service, tasty food! Fresh Fanta the burger is really good! Loved it - it is lots of food if you go with one of the boxes. We ate inside and had the restaurant almost to ourselves which was nice! read more

Rude on the phone, i work a night job and places in PD for some reason say their locations are 24hrs when they are not. I called at 2 in the morning asking if they were open and a man responded with "unfortunately" said i was coming and said "well... im here?" read more

I had drive thru and as always for any quick and healthy option it is my go to. Service was fast and friendly.

Location from dining room to restroom were extremely dirty, I can't imagine how the cooking area is or they don't care. The food even though it came out in a decent time was cold. They have two kiosk to order food so it took a bit of time to look up what I wanted to order and no one came to see how I was doing or wonder why I was taking a long time to order, no customer service at all. Don't think I'll return to this location read more

By far the BEST Del Taco location in the Coachella Valley, and I have been to a lot of them! Don't get all the negative reviews here - if you want to have a terrible fast food experience, visit the store at Varner/Washington and the Freeway in Palm Desert! The folks at this location are well managed and always friendly. If they do make a mistake, they'll fix it. Highly recommended! read more

We did a quick stop here, hoping to sit & eat inside because it was really really hot. Nope, no way, inside is still taped off no sitting, no bathrooms. We ended up ordering anyway, I wonder if all fast food in Palm Desert is like this? I don't know about you but I'm tired of eating in my car.... Food was typical Del Taco, it's ok.. staff was friendly and there was plenty of parking read more

Just left this location. Walked in, told to use the kiosk, waited around to ask a question because we couldn't find an item- but no one even looked at us. Left. I'd rather spend $60 at a burger restaurant than $30 here at a place where you're not even recognized. read more

Do not use the drive through after 10 pm unless you are bored and want to loiter in the parking lot for hours. Props to the cashier that credited back my meal which admittedly was larger than a normal order so getting moved to parking lot was expected but after 25 minutes we couldn't wait any longer. read more

What a bunch of losers working here all I can say I am sorry for whomever is responsible for them, I understand hiring good people is hard right now. But a team that closes you restaurant and basically parties on the patio while telling clients first the system is down and to wait to actually we're closed and all on break.....no big loss for me but if my staff was doing this while I'm here vacationing I would kill them. read more

The customer service is very good. As far as I've been here which is around three times. I've always been assisted by this young lady. She's very helpful. Hopefully you have the same experience as me. read more

Went through the drive-through and for my complicating ass order. Honestly they fucking nailed it 100%. It was quick it was bomb. It was hot. It was fresh. I don't know what the hell happened to the Del Taco but holy shit. It is amazing good job management. One of my favorite things to get here is three chicken tacos make it bold put it in a bowl no tortillas it is super delicious especially because it has the sauce. You can add guacamole if you want but I strongly recommend you guys coming here. Drive-through was super fast and super clean. read more

2nd time I order just fries and this is how they give me macho fries... I have gone back and manager Ana has blamed me that I ate them before going back to complain... Like really!! read more

Del Taco - Mexican Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Everytime I come to this drive-thru, they end up making me wait in the parking lot for 20 min for my food. I don't understand the point of a drive-thru if you're ultimately going to make all your customers wait in the parking lot read more

If there was a 0 review I would give that. I waited over 30 minutes at drive and when my turn came to order they told me we are closing for the day. It was at 9pm. Worst service ever. read more

If your stomach doesn't hurt after eating here, you may want to get checked out. Admittedly, the french fries are pretty delicious, but the tacos will make you cancel your appointments the following day! read more

Ate 4 hard shell tacos and a combination burrito and beef burrito large fries and a Coke and the food I have no complaints service was great way better then the del taco in Palm springs the people seem to be friendly I had a good time here thank you I will return next time I'm around. read more

"Free milkshake when temps exceed 110." FIVE STARS "Sorry, we're having trouble with our milkshake machine." ZERO STARS I guess that happens when it gets really, really hot... like 111. read more

Came by for a quick bite of food (Wednesday @6 pm) before going to the movies and really didn't expect to be helped by a very unfriendly Dell Taco server. "Home girl" was in a foul mood and really kind of pissed me off. If I was not in a hurry I would have walked out. I usually like all the people that I come too see at Del Taco but this person should not be taking orders or even have any customer contact. She has put me in a foul mood and I will not be back. There are too many choices these days. I will even drive past and go to Varner Rd location where your business is appreciated. Bye bye Del Taco on Monterey. read more

Complete idiots. I said soft shell chicken tacos THEEE TIMES and they give me hard shell beef. Finally at the window I send them back and they give me 5 soft shells and after driving away I open the taco and they are all beef. I was so hungry I forced myself to eat them and now my stomach hurts. GET AN EDUCATION read more

So usually, I don't go through the trouble of posting a review for a fast food restaurant, but today's service I thought was worth the time. I've been to this location, many times, as it is down the street from my house. I'm not a big fast food eater, but decided to stop there today for an egg and cheese burrito and a diet Coke. I know its not the best combination. My review is only on the service I received through the drive-through. Like I said, I've been here before and have never had good service until today. The girl in the window had a great attitude and great Customer Service. I own a business in my community and in today's world it is very hard to find a good employee that comes to work with a good attitude. This woman laughed. She smiled. She thanked me for my purchase and told me to be safe! I totally was not expecting that. I wish I knew your name girl behind the counter but thank you for being a good human. read more

Not as good as Taco Bell, much tamer. I like the dollar menu here, even though Taco Bell's dollar menu is superior. But the Beyond Taco was crazy! It tasted like a regular taco, couldn't even tell the meat was fake. Everyone should try it (and it's free right now with the promo!!!!!!!). read more

Bugs and bug parts were literally in my food!!!!! I came here with the kiddos for lunch after leaving the zoo for a quick bite before traveling back home today (10/10/22) at around 11:00 am. The food was made ridiculously fast and I thought nothing of it. Upon opening my nachos I thought they looked a little odd but I was so hungry that I dove right in. I noticed that the jalapeños were old and had no flavor at all, the beans tasted like something other than beans and upon my 4th bite I noticed the bug and bug legs in the chips/cheese as if it were cooked into the food. It was obviously dead. I began to have a sharp pain in my stomach and felt terribly I'll the rest of the way home. I was afraid to open the lid in the coke to see if anything was in there as well. The kids mentioned that their fries tasted stale but they were hot as if they were reheated in a microwave. Nonetheless, I was beyond disgusted, the kids were grossed out and we will never go there again. I would literally starve and die before coming back to this place. This was beyond despicable, gross and nauseating, shame on them! read more

Excuse me miss, i asked for more sauce on my harbanero taco for the reason that most of the time I ordered that it comes with barely any sauce! And guess what?? You charged me for extra sauce and yet its still come with regular amount of sauce! Whats going on!? read more

Management customer service is thee worst. Visited the Facility Thursday, April 14th Placed my order and when I drove off I checked my bag and an item was missing. Drove back through drive through and asked for a extra one since I had to go back. The manager Lydia to the drive-through and made me feel like it was my fault told me she would not give me an extra one but the one that I paid for! Never said sorry instead her and her general manager Anna who I spoke to on the phone were rude and I felt profiled as if I couldn't pay for my order and was just trying to get something that cost a dollar and some change. Literally you messed up my order and I have to go back how is that my fault, So many other places restaurants near by I regretted it! read more

Good service and nice crew. Fast and delicious. Much better than the thousand palms location!

Ordered take out last night (approximately $60). I got there 15 past scheduled time but food wasn't put together yet. No biggie. I was the only customer in the restaurant so I wasn't concerned about having to wait long. When they gave me my order, I asked the gentleman if everything was in the bag. He assured me that it was complete. Came home and realized they missed 4 tacos. I tried calling several times but nobody picked up. So I drove back and told them about their phones. The young gal said, "Oh shoot." Sounds like they must have not activated their phones that evening. Again no biggie. The lady (manager?) asked me what the problem was and then she ordered the cook to make the tacos. She then placed the tacos in a bag, put it on the counter and yelled, "your order's ready." I attempted to ask for hot sauce but they already walked away. Eventually she (manager?) came back and gave me some hot sauce. I was patient and forgiving, but it would have been nice to simply acknowledge their mistake with an apology. For example, "Sorry about that. We'll get your tacos for you" would have been sufficient. I know customers have to be patient due to Covid. But it doesn't hurt for employees to reciprocate courtesy. read more

Sunday 23, December. Ordered a set of eight mouth watering tacos, and two saucy fresh chili cheese fries. A refreshing 8-layer veggie packed; with a large raspberry fuze tea. We had always preferred for seasoned turkey. But every location has a General Manager. General manager John Holguin and his crew went above and beyond after, they felt he should personally ask my fiancé and I, if we would always prefer our chili sauces' made with fresh turkey and red sauce, instead of the normal choice of ground beef chili. read more

So this is a five star Del Taco, not a five-star restaurant! I have visited this location several times over the last six months and service is always friendly and quick. The epic breakfast burrito's actually pretty good too. read more

Just pulled off the 10, heading into Rancho. It was getting late and I was hungry. There... Ahead on the left... Yes! It's Del Taco! I stray from the usual Taco order and ask for a bacon Double-Del. It takes a bit longer to make, as the patties are cooked fresh to order! Yada yada yada... I'm home and feeling groovy. Time to reach into the bag and remove the burger. It's still warm! I pop open the box and bacon-scented stream greets me. So good. Now I'll cut to the chase: best burger ever. No joke. No hyperbole. Best. Burger. Ever. The lettuce and tomato were cool and crisp, the cheese was soft n melty, the bacon was crisp, and the patties... Oh the patties were juicy and flavorful. And the bun was the right amount of sweet and tasty bread to hold this beautiful hamburger sandwich together. Oh... Yeah, hold the onions. My only disappointment is that I didn't order two. Yes peeps, I have had many double-doubles and agree that they are delicious. The double-double is a very close second place to the Bacon Double-Del. If you haven't tried one, you really otter. https://m.imgur.com/gallery/YaLBv6X read more

This is a Macho Beef burrito without lettuce. It is the smallest burrito I have ever seen. If this is the new normal I'm done with the brand. I tried to post the same information on the deltaco.com site and it locked up in the middle of trying to upload. A bean and cheese burrito is bigger than this. Shame on you Del Taco. read more
