Born and raised in Barstow, you've gotta go to the OG Del Taco on Mountain View. A year ago, Jack in the Box bought the chain except for the three original restaurants. The Barstow chain is still owned by the original Hackbarth family and the flavor and quality is better than any other Del Taco. Went to Del Taco in Bullhead City, AZ and it was just Taco Bell.
Originally from down there and now in Oregon and when they sold they went to straight crap so sad. But glad hear they still have some the originals there definitely be going next visit.
The first mistake they with the beef taco is the cheese is suppose to be on the taco before the lettuce. That way the cheese gets melted in the meat and the lettuce stays crunchy.
As a LA/Inland Empire native when I think taco joints, I think my local taco man every town has em, Inglewood, south central etc. when I think taco restaurants I think tacos gavilan, baby’s tacos in Pomona etc. Taco Bell and del taco are like “ain’t nothing else open” taco joints 😂😂
Del Taco is the budget taco place. They are basically the Little Caesars of taco's. I mean my broke ass ain't complaining with $0.80 taco Tuesday($1.35 normally). My mom would buy $0.35 tacos to budget feed three boys and not cook.
@ indeed. Saw a video talking about the rivalry between Del Taco and Taco Bell. They made the point, Del Taco is for people on a tight budget. I know my ass would rather eat del taco over 7-eleven tacos. Did that once and regretted it. Had $5 to my name and got small 7-eleven tacos. They had them sitting in a bag on the floor. Cold and tasted like reheated frozen tacos that went cold. Wish del taco came across my mind.
Del taco back in the day in my area was in a mall. No drive-through. It was more of a real restaurant than you would imagine. And each dish came with rice and beans. When my friend and I wanted something fancy in between classes, we would actually drive to Del taco. I had it 20 years later. I don’t know what happened.
You know what it is. Del Taco real So Cal and been feeding us for years. When everybody else was taxiing, Del Taco had decent size been burritos for the $1
@billydonuts4965 Taco Bell's extra seasoning doesn't make it better though. It's a weird flavor. Del Taco just simply tastes better, even with less seasoning.
Two things...number 1, the location. Weve seen in the past, no matter what the food is, it has to be the right location... Two...I personally like their crispy chicken taco, and its on their 5 or less menu deals. "Its more for, are you hungry in the dead of night". Its good, but not prefect. Then again for $5, its great.
Del is usually for drunk munchies, nothing like a taqueria. More like Taco Bell that also originated in LA. You have to add the hot sauce to everything, a lot of it!
My man bit that burrito down the middle, fucking hilarious. 😂😂😂😂. Now I don't feel so guilty for craving Taco Bell sometimes after watching this video.
My sister and I ate Del Taco in Texas as teenagers and especially loved their bean and cheese burritos. Their menu then was tiny compared to now. Sounds like they need to get back to the basics.
If you’re gonna try Del taco, you have to try the one in Barstow it’s a long drive from LA but it’s elite.’ It’s definitely worth the stop if you’re driving to Vegas
I agree 100%!!! It tore my girl stomach up something terrible. Our friend recommended them while we was out there from Cleveland! Waste of time and money!
This is entirely on you for expecting a fast food restaurant to knock your socks off. Doubly so for comparing it to authentic Mexican food that is so readily available to you at the time.
The REAL ok del taco is in Barstow, CA, there are 3 there. ALl of the others are Jack in the box, the Barstow locations are good American tacos without all of the extras.
There are some of those in Florida, and I've driven by them many times without stopping. Thanks for this. I will continue to drive by without stopping. Damn, if you can't out-flavor frikkin' _Taco Bell_ then there's something wrong with you.
Your expectations were way too high (but I get it). Del Taco is like a better Taco Bell, and not meant to be like those taco stands. They do have some items that play towards that, but how good those are depend on the location, and are not usually gonna be as good as those stands. That being said, The beer battered fish taco is usually pretty good. I do like their chicken soft tacos a lot too. The Burger is underrated af too. They have crinkle cut fries, so I'm surprised you didn't get that. They also will kind of randomly have some seasonal items that are usually pretty good too. I actually do like their tamales when they have them! Yea some of the seasonal stuff is an absolute hit, and others not so much. Overall though, I do like Del Taco in general.
Your first mistake was expecting authentic Mexican food. Any place that is known for hard shell taco's is not authentic in any way. These are bro tacos
Man Del Taco used to be so good when I was little. My mom managed the place and she smelled so good coming home 😂. They closed them all over here years ago. Then, I went to Cali in 2020 and it did NOT taste anything like I remember. It was so basic
Iam watching your videos for years now , i subscribed to your channel when it had under 50k subs, incredible to see that you have over million now. Congrats!
That you would not do your research on these Americanized "Mexican" franchise restaurants, especially in LA is wild. It's LA....go to those AUTHENTIC mom and pop taco restaurants, spots, and food trucks in LA. Come ON man. 😂
As a Del Taco lover, what you don’t do is order the tacos, burritos, desserts (well maybe idk), and dam sure not the burgers (tho I heard the burgers are good…..I’ll never know 😂😂) I stick to the quesadillas, fries, nachos, and chilli cheese fries. I only get hard shell tacos when I’m starving on a budget.
They need to fire people and go back to the play book. Hire some people who know how to cook or at least take pride in their job. Maybe just deport Del Taco at this point.
Only advantages Del Taco has are: 1. Only Barstow Locations are good. 2. During Lent when they have Fried Shrimp available and it’s great in their Tacos.
Hold on bro!! Del Taco only in competition with Taco Bell. And it's always been a great alternative. If you from LA you know, Del Taco is the counter culture 😂
I once heard someone say that Del Taco’s whole menu tastes like it was made with freeze dried WWI rations and that could not be more true
😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
why did man eat the menu xdd
😂 so detailed
Damn. That's over a century old.
Expexting greatness? Best it can do is not poison you...everytime
😂😂😂😂 such a great comment
😂😂😂
I tried them one time a few years ago and the only thing I like that I got was the churro
@@PXRTYPXN444You're lucky that you didn't get "chorro" 🥴💩😂😂😂😂😭😭😭
going to del taco expecting good food is like going to church & expecting a haircut
🤣🤣
but i did get my haircut at church as a kid lmao

Dang I didn’t know Jack n the box bought it, but it makes sense why it’s trash now.
@@Mr.Bulbino oh yeah, it became a big concern in Barstow when it happened because we were worried our local shops would go to crap
Originally from down there and now in Oregon and when they sold they went to straight crap so sad. But glad hear they still have some the originals there definitely be going next visit.
we hit that del taco every time we go to vegas
How you mess up the del taco? Never had Del Taco🌮
Guess I'll stick to Chacos
I had Del Taco yesterday and Taco Bell never sounded more luxurious
I had Taco Bell yesterday but i thought about going to Del Taco 😅
@@alejandrososa3168you should. Don't let this video stop you
Bull💩 Taco Bell hard shell fall apart old lettuce and cheese straight dog food
Same shit both are ass you only go when you high or broke
A Dorito Los taco will forever hit
Biting a burrito from the center is psychotic
I flinched a lil bit😂😂😂 Whyyy???😂😂😂
@@mitanise3186 its to grab every flavor in one bite
You read my mind. Why??😂
you dont care
It’s in his nature. This man pours the milk before the cereal. Absolute unhinged behavior.😂
In L.A , stick with those amazing food trucks :)
Be careful at the Roach Mobiles! Last result
As a Cali boy, you only go to Del Taco because you're broke and can't afford anything else. Or you're hungover late at night and nothing else is open.
Periodt !! Broke boy activity 🤦🏾♀️
Taco Bell is cheaper believe it or not
You get hella food for cheep and everybody know the bizz.
Fr, the late night broke activities. But once u make money, u just say no🙊
So Taco Bell pretty much 😂
Rottweiler meat gawtdamn 😂😂
that shit sent me 😭
Raccoon Bones and Rottweiler meat
We love del taco in Cali gets people through hard times great value menu
I've always loved it ever since I was a kid and even as an adult I consider it the best fast food
💯 way better then Taco Bell
Expecting greatness from Del Taco was a mistake. 😂😂
You know it's bad when a burger is the best item at a Taco restaurant 😂
You're in Cali, you will find authentic Mexican food on every corner. Del Taco is like Taco Bell 🙅🤦
I call it "The Poorer Man's Taco Bell".
Don't you dare compare Del Taco to the King! LOL
@@octaviousharper3873 thats exactly what it is LOL
Taco Bell is actually decent though
@@adayinthelifeofJBdon't compare shitter bell to gods gift
The fact the restaurant is empty says a lot.
NAH FR!!🥺😩🥴💀💀
the time I went (the one time) no one dared come in there
This is a Hood burger! 😂😂😂
That burger is nowhere near hood lmaooooo 😂. That was low key shaming the Master Burger spots of LA. 🤣
"Del Taco: Where even the taco shells have more flavor than their actual food. #TacoBoutDisappointment"
"why is the vessel dry 👹" LMAO
The first mistake they with the beef taco is the cheese is suppose to be on the taco before the lettuce. That way the cheese gets melted in the meat and the lettuce stays crunchy.
I had del taco in vegas and was completely sober, the regular tacos were exponentially better than any taco I've ever had from T-bell.
Glad someone had a good experience. It was TRASH for me when I tried it.
Vegas is the reason I will not eat Del Taco.. it’s horrible
I went to del taco in arizona. Was absolute garbage compared to taco bell in mass
The sad truth is that all of our experiences vary by location. There's not one place on Earth that is consistently amazing at every store.
Lol saying it's better than taco bell is not saying much at all that place is gross
One of my favorite quotes from my dad before he passed. “ I knew when I got the shits for the 5th time that del taco was no good. “
WELL DAMN!!! #RIPPOPS😩🥴🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Once you get authentic Mexican food, you can't really stand these chain restaurants, no more.
As a LA/Inland Empire native when I think taco joints, I think my local taco man every town has em, Inglewood, south central etc. when I think taco restaurants I think tacos gavilan, baby’s tacos in Pomona etc. Taco Bell and del taco are like “ain’t nothing else open” taco joints 😂😂

Say that. 💯

Exactly. Del Taco you get hella food and everybody knows what's up. Them been burritos was literally saving us😂

No lol@@MrTake0ver23
Not even close... Taco bell is at least mid on a bad day... Been food poised both times from death taco
Do better Be better

The lime wedge!! Where's the lime wedge for the beer batter fish taco.
And the churro are good too🎉
Del taco is a less seasoned version of Taco Bell
FACTS!!!
You mean an upgraded version of Taco Bell. TB is the lower quality/higher price version of Del Taco.
@@timkelly6463 nah we all know TB’s “beef” is probably moose meat. At least it’s seasoned tho. Del Taco is bland
@billydonuts4965 Taco Bell's extra seasoning doesn't make it better though. It's a weird flavor. Del Taco just simply tastes better, even with less seasoning.
@@timkelly6463 taste better? It doesn’t TASTE at all
Your first mistake was going to Del taco in the first place lol
Lmao
those "street tacos" TEAR MY STOMACH UP , you are a brave soul🥴
Two things...number 1, the location. Weve seen in the past, no matter what the food is, it has to be the right location...
Two...I personally like their crispy chicken taco, and its on their 5 or less menu deals. "Its more for, are you hungry in the dead of night". Its good, but not prefect. Then again for $5, its great.
Friend, you're spending cents on the dollar for food and the bacon is too "dry" for you 😂😂😂
I want you arrested for that burrito bite 😂
😂😂😂
Del is usually for drunk munchies, nothing like a taqueria. More like Taco Bell that also originated in LA. You have to add the hot sauce to everything, a lot of it!
If your expectations are not high; del taco is pretty good.
I mean... It's Dell Taco. I can't believe he expected something edible.
My man bit that burrito down the middle, fucking hilarious. 😂😂😂😂. Now I don't feel so guilty for craving Taco Bell sometimes after watching this video.
I love Del Taco. Get it everytime im in LA by the airport💯
Rottweiler meat is WILD!!!😩🥴🥴🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
2:33 is a shot of NYC, but I'm with you dawg; go on.
My sister and I ate Del Taco in Texas as teenagers and especially loved their bean and cheese burritos. Their menu then was tiny compared to now. Sounds like they need to get back to the basics.
Their bean and cheese burritos with green sauce is the only good thing on the menu I use the the term good loosely
It used to be good in the 90s but it depends on what time you go and which one you go to
As somebody from cali del taco is reserved for your brokest of days.😂 those 3 tacos for a dollar was clutch bacc in the day
Del taco was never famous for the tacos but rather the stoners that inhabit it
"Back to the sadness" Quote of the decade
God the production is A1! Too bad the food wasn’t 😭

NO ONE here in Los Angeles eat Del Taco. We don’t know how they stay in business. 🤷🏾♂️

I love del taco 😭 my hometown only has Taco Bells so del taco was refreshing 😭😭
Dude didn't even get the Fries
🤦♂️🤦♂️
I like their fries.
@KoolIzNSession They had the Bbq brisket bacon fries few years ago. It was so good
@@KoolIzNSessionbruh how did he not get the fries
TOO much cheese? come to australia where you pay $15 for a burrito thats 80% rice.

Imagine going all the way out to California just for some mid tacos
This is the first time I ever seen someone bite into the middle of a buritto 😂
Wayne Dang does it all the time.

Eating a burrito the long way is diabolical
Del Taco is for drunk late night eats 😂
I want my boy SJohnson to review some Taco Johns now 😂💯👌🏽
Del Taco was ranked the best fast food restaurant last year, I’m pretty sure that’s why he excepted greatness… I’ve been waiting for this video lol
"Rottweiler meat"and "Bee's shoulders"have me in shambles 😂

They closed them all over here years ago.
Then, I went to Cali in 2020 and it did NOT taste anything like I remember. It was so basic
What if I told you the best thing in del taco is a hamburger
Made this comment before I watched you say it 😂
The fish taco and the carne asada quesadilla are their best things.
El pollo loco all the way
Del Taco tacos have no taste. They're the fruit stripes gum of tacos.
Iam watching your videos for years now , i subscribed to your channel when it had under 50k subs, incredible to see that you have over million now. Congrats!
Only go to the Del Tacos in Barstow
Disappointment is Taco John’s. Tater tots do not belong in a burrito. It’s the taste of regret.
Eating that burrito the way he did really irks me...
Why you eating them tacos without the sauce, good buddy
How do you not know Del Taco is a nationwide chain from the depths of hell?
I didn't know that, but I've never eaten there and there are only a couple in my town.
There's only 2 in Ohio and neither are near Cleveland.
I could have saved you some time. I live in Orange County, CA and there is a Del Taco on every corner this is "only place open after 11pm food".
Del taco sells ground pigeon meat frfr, never go there
Best thing at tel taco is the cheeseburger , loaded fries and chicken ranch roller. I can’t remember any taco I’ve had there 😂
I went there 1 time and the taco meat dissolved and tasted like old dirt. That place needs to go out of business 😂
Homie Del Taco is that spot when youre faded and everything good is closed, it's that" It's late and I dont give a fuck food"..🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
That you would not do your research on these Americanized "Mexican" franchise restaurants, especially in LA is wild. It's LA....go to those AUTHENTIC mom and pop taco restaurants, spots, and food trucks in LA. Come ON man. 😂
Street tacos from street vendors are so much better.
As a Del Taco lover, what you don’t do is order the tacos, burritos, desserts (well maybe idk), and dam sure not the burgers (tho I heard the burgers are good…..I’ll never know 😂😂) I stick to the quesadillas, fries, nachos, and chilli cheese fries.

why the food look like snacks in bruh hands
Dell taco is exactly like this review they food is trash and terrible and soggy and mushy I hate they food 
Did you just say that chicken looks like dog food!??… 🤣🤣 stop it, just cut it out🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
They need to fire people and go back to the play book. Hire some people who know how to cook or at least take pride in their job. Maybe just deport Del Taco at this point.
You went to the wrong del taco my guy you gotta to go to the original del taco in Barstow CA.
Only advantages Del Taco has are:
1. Only Barstow Locations are good.

He needed to add the Del Scorcho sauce he had sitting on his tray!
Seeing that burrito bite kinda messed me up lol
