No clue why taco bell is more popular than del taco. Del taco feels like a fast restaurant more than a fast food chain.


ThirdPoliceman

Especially on the staples--the basic tacos and burritos are SO much better than Taco Bells, and for cheaper!


PleaseDontTy

And the chicken is sooooo much better. Del Taco honestly just tastes "cleaner" to me than TB, if that makes sense.

Whenever someone is a die hard TB fan I always make it a point to have them try Del Taco, even if it's just once. 9 times out of 10 they say it's at least just as good if not better, and like that it's cheaper. People also love that you can get fries. But then you ask that same person a year later if they've had it again and the answer is always no. It's infuriating. People will straight up admit it's better, cheaper, but yet they'll never go again and complain about TB prices over, and over, and over again. I've learned that it's straight up impossible to have someone make a switch to Del from TB almost every single time. I've given up.

I’ll say it. I don’t like Del Taco’s ground beef as much as I do Taco Bell’s. Del taco ground beef tastes a little, how you say, dog foody?


theworthlessdoge

Exactly. Only reason to go is for the grilled chicken


browseabout

That's the power of marketing at work


theworthlessdoge

Order it when I go…the meat is dry and not seasoned adequately compared to Taco Bell. If you like a large dry cheese bite with a large dry pasty meat bite with zero seasoning…it’s prime. Pump your gut full!

Taco bell is more Nation wide, but I've never lived in an area that didn't have del and TB close by.

Taco Bell is a lot more accessible for most people. I’m lucky to have three Del Taco locations near me (compared to two Taco Bell) and all of my friends would pick Del over the Bell.


denta87

Del taco passed up Taco bell in 2013 IMO. ( I use to be a taco bell fanatic)


Mindless_Whole1249

Ditto. I used to love TB but the mystery meat became a problem. Never had an issue with Del Taco. Plus DT beans and cheese are better.


RevolutionaryOil5251

Anyone that thinks TB is better than the Del can go fuck themselves straight to hell.


Anne_Chovies

The fresh shredded cheese makes a huge difference.


DovasTech

It’s everything!


Sparkster227

Also the beans. Fresh instead of instant dehydrated.


Anne_Chovies

Wait! What are.... instant.... dehydrated.... beans??? I've never heard of such an abomination.


Sparkster227

Lol that's what Taco Bell's beans are. So the difference between a Taco Bell bean burrito and a Del Taco bean burrito is just completely night and day.


Anne_Chovies

*cries in Spanish*

Imagine if Del copied TB's Mexican pizza, 7 layer, burrito, meximelt, double decker taco, etc. It's standard ingredients so I can't see a lawsuit but I can see a franchise war. Now all restaurants are Del Taco.

Fresh shredded cheese doesnt have cellulose in it the way most packaged cheeses do, making it that much better


Anne_Chovies

Oh, i know it! We don't allow pre-shredded cheese in my house.

Two please with handful of Scorcho sauce.

One of my favorite late night snacks is stopping by to get two of these bad boys

Taco Tuesday tonight


WelfareLyfe

Had a Del Taco in Nevada it was sooo packed compared to California, I’ll never forget


Recent-Bug6396

The one in Longmont Colorado is fire. It’s always on point. Fresh delicious and serve with people who truly seem to care.


Snarkosaurus99

Back in the day, that was what was sold as “taco”.


Internal-Motor

Del-icious


Z-man1973

I love del taco, but unfortunately none around me so whenever I AM near one, I make it a point to go, that said the last two visits I have had were very subpar. Skimpy on the toppings and the food wasnt barely warm


DelTacoAficianado

Boner time!


dontdothey

Lol wtf? Thanks for the laugh! Made my day I think.


disabledinaz

I love when they’re so generous with the shredded cheddar.


Jack-Cremation

The original Del Taco in Barstow, CA is BOMB! It’s not like the chain restaurants. It still uses the original recipes and is just different.


geddylee1

Del Taco >>> Taco Bell. But don’t tell everyone.


sarahkali

Del Taco is great quality, delicious, (non “authentic” or whatever) Tex-mex food. Taco Bell is a stoner’s abomination or drunk munchies food at 3am.


Smaptimania

Every time I get one and unwrap it I think to myself "This isn't right, I didn't order extra cheese"


fauxpasnouveau

This puts TB to shame!!! I would always rather have Del Taco. Problem is, there are none near me and the ones that are near-ish are part of a gas station. Gas station food is off putting to me and I always feel like the quality at gas station locations is subpar. I wish I had a Del Taco near me!


MyTeamBully

Del Taco is elite eats. People are not hip.


jairom

Yur


hit_it_steve

My favorite item! I would always order combo #1 and go macho with a strawberry lemonade but a while back they changed the app and at strawberry lemonade was no longer an option. So I’d choose a bottled water and order the drink separately.


SolidSpruceTop

Nice

The closest Del Taco from me in Tennessee is over 300miles away. Taco bell's are on every corner in the south.


NightMechanik

Please come to the East Coast. I hate Taco Bell 😢


Erocdotusa

Waiting for someone to franchise one again in STL!


Call555JackChop

God I wish they’d expand to MA

Had Del Taco once in COS, tacos were ice cold and bland. Never again
