Del Taco - Smyrna

Fast, delicious, fresh food. a better option than t in my personal opinion!

This is a great place in general and probably the best fast casual Mexican restaurant around. But there are some issues that seem ridiculous really. Here's an example. It was late at night and my GF and I waited in the drive thru line for at least 20 minutes maybe 30. When it was our opportunity to order, I wanted to get two tamales. They happily told me that that stopped serving those at midnight. It was 12:03 AM. WHAT? Don't penalize me for your store being busy and me waiting in line. To be perfectly clear, I walked up to the door finding that it was locked before waiting for the drive thru. So that was not a good experience, but the food we could order was very good.

Polite and fast service, sometimes the drive through line is long. Decent prices, I like to get the Crunchtada with out cheese for a vegan option. The also have vegan meat crumbles.

I love the good from Del Taco the only thing which takes this place to a step higher from Taco Bell is their fresh Guacamole. Dine in is fine, the service was good. I order their fish tacos all the time and I like the grilled chicken Taco with Guac. The reason to give 3 stars is for their bad service when you go to their Drive through. First time they took super long to take the order, 2nd time they gave me a grilled chicken burger when I asked for Taco. 3rd time they did not give all the items we ordered, even after we asked them to repeat the order. Too bad for a place with good food.

I would not recommend ordering delivery. IF you get your food at all, it will take 3 times as long as they say when you order it. Most times they will end up canceling the order an hour later. The drivers hate going here because half the time they are wasting a trip. I have paid a driver extra to wait 45 minutes before, only to have del taco cancel the order. By then, nowhere else was open that I wanted to order from. This has happened multiple times. I gave 2 stars only because on the few occasions that I actually receive the order, the food is good.
