Is Del Taco any good?
 

Del Taco has opened in my area, I've only heard of it, never eaten there before.

Is it any good? What's your experience been? What should I order or avoid ordering?

Friends of mine in the OKC area rave about it.

I once ate 19 hard shell tacos from Del Taco in a sitting before I decided to get healthy and banned myself from going there.

Those tacos are addictive as hell and so are the tater tots dusted in seasoning

WAY better than Taco Bell...plus you can get burgers and fries.

They recently discontinued the Spicy Jack Chicken Quesadilla, which IMO was the best thing on the menu there.

Otherwise, yeah it's pretty good. Not a big fast foodie anymore though.

It was much better pre scamdemic. I took my wife to the same one in Texas last year after raving about them, and it was underwhelming to say the least

It can be inconsistent but I think they have the most underrated fries in fast food

I went through a Del Taco kick recently and feel its way underrated.

Their regular tacos kind of remind me of Taco Tico back in the day.

Also, their menu is huge.

Things I like:
Habanero crispy chicken taco (fair amount of heat within the context of fast food)
Habanero beer battered crispy fish taco
Original crispy jumbo shrimp taco
Epic combo queso burrito
Grilled chicken & guac stuffed quesadilla taco
Original Del Taco (crunchy)
Combo burrito

Yes it's good. Consistently better than Taco Bell.

There's a handful of Reddit threads on favorite Del Taco items.

I read through a few before going as their menu is expansive and I'm probably only going to hit it a couple times a year.

I'm good for a bit but definitely enjoyed what I ordered.

Agreed, much much better than Taco Hell.

:shrug: sure. It's a fast food taco place. :shrug:

Owned by Jack in the Box? And it's actually good?

I went to one last year for the first time. I don't remember much about the food, though the service was awful. I had a nice brief conversation with an attractive woman while we were both watching the guys behind the counter wander around aimlessly instead of taking our order. So if you're single it might be a good place to meet women.

I wish we had Los Pollos Hermanos in KC.

That's a bummer. I didn't know that.

My favorite items were the classic grilled chicken burrito and grilled chicken taco and I typically don't like chicken items from fast food places.

The macho combo burrito was decent. It was a sizable portion that would fill you up.
