I worked at this establishment 45 years ago and decided it was time to pay them a visit. I had evening rations. The cook messed up my order on the Double Del cheeseburger by putting secret sauce instead of cheese. So I sent it back to be redone. The burger ended up being fair at best. The fries were decent. The chocolate shake was fair. They did not have any mustard. Not did they have Pepsi. The washroom situation absolutely sucks. The washrooms were locked even when empty and an employee had to buzz me in. In addition the washroom lacked paper towels. The hand dryer blower was not working. Due to the restricted access to the washroom I am giving this establishment the lowest possible score. If I was to assign a letter grade as is done in school this establishment would get an F. read more

Food: It's Del Taco, they're consistent if nothing else. Fair food at a fair price. ;) Service: They were trying, but they were slow, like a lot slow. Nice, but slow. Ambiance: It's DT, old folk, transients, and me - some things are guaranteed in life. read more

Del Taco - Mexican Near Me - Seal Beach, California

My husband LOVES Del Taco. Unfortunately we live across the street from a Taco Bell. :( Sad for him. So occasionally I'll stop by this Del Taco on the way home from work to make his day. All of the meal bundles have drastically changed over the last few years. He used to like the #11 which was a bean and cheese burrito, a taco, fries and a drink. Now it's only the burrito, fries and drink, no taco. Everything has suffered from Shrinkflation. read more

Del Taco - 8/20/25 - Mexican Near Me - Seal Beach, California

Perfect location for me as I stayed in the hotel next door. There's even a path to walk to it. Upon walking in there, the employees almost to the point ignored me. They were busy nobody came to the counter until I stood there and stood there and stood there. Finally, somebody decided to help me and I don't know where this practice came from where you give somebody the options of large when I say I want a number 13 they say OK you want number 13 large when I never said that I said I want a number 13 as the way it is on the menu. So there's a little bit of gameplay here. Food wise the food was actually pretty good no problems at all. Just felt a little bit like they don't appreciate customers. read more

Omg. Took 20+ minutes to get fries and chicken and a taco. Do not come here. This is not "fast food". They don't know what they are doing. Go elsewhere. Waste of time smh. Food was also COLD. Disappointing to say the least. read more

I'm a regular here, more or less. Del Taco is dear to my heart as I've been enjoying their burritos since I was in grade school. The food at this location is always up to snuff and they have never got my order wrong, the staff is always attentive and on top of things. Thanks! read more

The tacos were excellent, the only reason on why I don't give them a 5 starts is because of the price. I understand is California, but it was a taco Tuesday and it still came out expensive. Other than that, the tacos were extremely good and their sauces (specially the pineapple one) were delicious. It may be worth it to pay a little extra for the quality. Service was quick. The only difference with the ambiance is that it doesn't feel as your traditional Mexican place, but that did not affect the food. read more

Del Taco - My order clearly shows a purchased drink! - Mexican Near Me - Seal Beach, California

Three stars based on low expectations Pros - 24 Hour Drive Through - Bargain $2 menu - Fries sold, krinkle cut - Clean, never busy - Professional employees - Combos are cheaper and generally healthier than at other fast food places - Close off the 405S Cons - Ok for what it is - "Crispy" might mean deep fried protein not the shell Convenient for Hampton Inn guests next door. Their shakes sound good and I should try the newish Beef Birria Ramen. read more

Del Taco - Many outdoor tables - Mexican Near Me - Seal Beach, California

This location is too understaffed I waited a long time with just a line of three cars. They also didn't include everything I ordered.

Sad excuse for a tostada and literally the worst nachos I've ever had. Seriously, the worst. That said, the baja fish tacos are good value for the money. I don't have unrealistic expectations for a "taco" drive-thru, and for the most part it's adequate if you're hungry. Staff is always efficient and friendly. read more

The food is still good but the service is absolutely awful. Moreover the manager acts like she could care less. At any rate there are a lot of seniors that go there because it's next to Leisure World and you would think that the service would be better for seniors but no.. read more

Just got back from drive through and fries are hard and old tasting. Only had a couple. Tacos were better but not great.

Natalie deserves a raise, I've seen her get yelled at by customers on a busy day and she keeps her cool, she always keeps it friendly very professional. I really hope a boss sees this and knows that NATALIE DESERVES A RAISE. Been to this location at other times and when she's not working it's a huge difference! She keeps the place spotless, as well and makes sure the portions are on point! GO NATALIE read more

This big corporate taco restaurant is better than it's competition. The cashier was super patient with my annoying friend who has to ask the dumbest questions about what to order. I ordered the secret menu Stoner burrito but vegetarian this time around and fries too. The food is always good especially for the price. read more

They are better right now. Fast and accurate. I think Yelp is for haters. My opinion, not enough congratulations. Thanks to this crew

It's absolutely shocking how long one has to wait in line for at this Del Taco. Oh and it's only this one. Doesn't matter if you're the only one in line or you're 2 cars back: you're waiting 20 minutes. Doesn't matter if you order one taco or 65 tacos: you're waiting 20 minutes. Doesn't matter if you come at 11:32am or 8:43pm: you're waiting 20 minutes. Doesn't matter if you walk in or you use the drive-thru: you're waiting 20 minutes. As I sit here, wait to pay, I wonder: will I be sitting here for 20 minutes? read more

I've given up on this place, the food is always crap. I've ordered the chili cheese fries on 2 different occasions and they give me old stale fries each time. This last time I didn't check until I got home and find out they stale fries again, they were just garbage. My full size quesadilla had little to no cheese and the green chilis were not added, but I still paid close to $6.00! I'm reading that they have a new manager, but to me it even seems worse than before. This place always has a lot of people eating here and I think it's mostly because there's not another one close by. I will definitely not ever eat here again. Hope mgt. reads this and makes some drastic needed changes. read more

I moved to the bay area where the nearest 73 miles away in Santa Nella, so as much as people hate on Del Taco (admittedly so, as I spent the 90s trying "acclimate" to Del Taco after some serious tummy aches), I actually miss the distinctive flavors of their Macho Combo burrito and chicken soft tacos. This Del Taco has history. In fact, I think Yelp took down my original review because of my Del Taco Bathroom story. Since then, they now have two locked bathrooms inside the restaurant, but please ask me the Del Taco Bathroom story if we meet at a Yelp Elite Event. But do it after we eat. Anyway, I have likely frequented this Del Taco the most, since it was just under 3 miles from Naples. Of course, the one on PCH is equidistant, but even though that one is open 24 hours (Seal Beach closes at midnight per corporate website though Yelp says different) that one keeps it a little too real. The dining room there is more Doggy Dogg World, the dining room in Seal Beach is more Leisure World. read more

Food is good, not great for Tex Mex . No ambiance at all there but service is pretty quick.

Del Taco has a good variety of burritos and tacos. When you need a satisfying meal in a hurry nothing works better than a simple bean and cheese burrito. You can also select green or red sauce as well. I order two which feels me up nicely. Cost is about $2 per burrito which is a good deal these days. Enjoy! read more

Wow. This is absolutely garbage. Not sure if the meat is can even be referred to as meat. Dirty, gross , and filthy looking area where the food is prepared. The staff looks like they can't wait to get the Gell out of there. Why didn't I walk out before I ordered this garbage? Two bites and threw the rest away. Never again. TACO BELL HAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT HERE. read more

Ordered birria quesadilla and it was pre dipped in the sauce and folded in fourths and wrapped up so this is what it looked like when I opened the bag, I've ordered before and never got it pre dipped and soggy!!! And none of the advertisement shows Del Taco pre dipping the quesadilla into the sauce and making one huge piece of junk not edible! By the way, went to the same del taco last Tuesday and sat in line for more than five mins without moving, got out of the line and parked and went inside thinking it would be faster but stood there for over five mins again watching the woman trying to make sense of the orders and the two men standing around while orders piled up. Never got to place my order, Walked out and obviously not going back to this Del Taco again!!! read more

I chose to go to this Del Taco after a long day of work but was extremely disappointed! I went through the drive thru. After picking up my order the cashier shortened my change by $3 and did NOT give me a receipt! Also did NOT count back my change from a $29! To add insult to injury the food was horrible and had to be thrown away. Tacos has wilted lettuce and were cold! Combo burrito was very small and cold not the De Taco quality I know! The tostada was old lettuce like the tacos. Stale shell and again minimal beans and cheese, hardly there and cold! Who ever owns this location now just lost my business! And I'm sure much more than only mine! I've read many, many poor reviews! PS, I tried calling to hopefully talk with a manager or owner. After endless rings was told to leave a message at that point the call ended instead of going into voicemail! Extremely sad! Poor business management and ownership! I will be sharing this with everyone I talk to! read more

Lady at drive thru window was very helpful and courteous in trying to figure out an email / app reward

The food was good and customer service was speedy. However, Del Taco seriously needs to reconsider their management. VANESSA is a terrible manager and a terrible human being. I walked in to her yelling at her employees and I'm pretty sure a girl was crying. I wont be returning ever again. read more

Today I ordered a egg and cheese burrito. What I got was a Bacon and egg burrito. I am allergic to bacon, I didn't order bacon. However took a bite and nothing but bacon. Because I am so allergic I had to use my Epi-Pen and go to the emergency room. How do you get an egg and cheese burrito so Wrong? I will be reaching out for my copay to be reimbursed as well as the cost of the burrito. Additionally I feel you folks should understand what quality control is. Where is the management? read more

Honestly I've never had del taco before but was in need of a quick meal. Natalie was working the night that I stumbled upon this del taco. I think I have received better service here from her and Desire than I have at most sit down establishments. Whatever they're getting paid is not enough and they both deserve a raise. They gave me recommendations and I left full and satisfied. 10/10 would go again. read more

I am very disappointed in this location. I have been going here almost 10 years and I have rarely been disappointed but this time it was really bad. I ordered a regular Quesadilla and paid $4.39 (just $.20 less than I paid for my burrito), and I would say I received 2/3 less cheese than normal. My 8 layer burrito had no flavor at all. They gave me green sauce like I asked for, which was the only flavor the burrito had. The ice tea was ok. read more

I always regret going to this particular Dell taco. I've never been to a Dell taco that so consistently produces poor quality food. I got sick here last year and stopped going all together. Then I made the mistake of going here again a few days ago. Amazingly, they acted like they were going to provide me with fresh well-done fries after receiving my soggy fries, but they just repackaged the fries I just handed back to them. I didn't realize what they did until after leaving. They acted like they were cooking new fries lol. I laughed so hard when I opened the bag. Then I cried. The amount of effort it took them to trick me with their illusion was amazing. Far more effort than would ever be needed to just cook their food properly the first time. I feel bad for The whole Del Taco brand. This store kills the brand in so many ways. To all who go here, good luck. You will need it. read more
