Del Taco v.s. Taco Bell

By: Julianna Nuzzo

I have eaten at both Del Taco and Taco Bell. Both were very good experiences but others disagree. They both have different reviews about services and the way they serve the food.
​
“Taco Bell forgot some of my order, refused to refund my money and when my family was eating the food they did remember to put in the order they found a hair in it. They were very rude and did not want to help me out at all and I still haven’t got my money back for the stuff they forgot.” Says Jeff of Fairborn. (www.consumeraffairs.com). I have gone to many local Taco Bells’ and they have messed up orders, and their service was just horrible. Del Taco seems to have better comments on their service, food, and so much more. “I visited Del Taco on multiple occasions, their food is great with the great Mexican-American flavor; delicious al carbon tacos, tamales, burritos, hamburgers, and let's not forget crunchy shell tacos and much more! I think management should work on increasing advertisement to promote aâthe good quality of one of the best fast food joints out there.” Says Margarita G. (influenster.com)
“The food is sometimes variable. Although good, there are times when things are not prepared as requested. Overall, I like this chain and it offers good value for the
money. The restaurant and bathrooms are clean. The staff is friendly and attentive.” Said Anne of Northport, NY. This was a good review on Taco Bell.
A good review for Del Taco “ Wow! Very satisfied with my experience here. You get very fresh and tasty food and quickly. I love their taco/burrito packs. They are so delicious and filling and always hot and fresh. The taco salad is my favorite with the fresh and ripe avocados. I recommend this place!” Said Meg A. These reviews are something most businesses could use to get either more business or brighten their moods.
There are different opinions on food, services, and everything else involved with running a restaurant on multiple websites. Both businesses started pretty small. They both have grown into bigger businesses and have made their services better. “With more than 6,000 Taco Bells in 26 countries across the globe, there are a few that really stand out from the rest.” There are only 596 Del Taco Buildings in the world. The 596 buildings that we have are very well known.
The very first Del Taco was founded in 1964, in Yermo, Cal. Ed Hackbarth and David Jameson opened the first Del Taco in Yermo, CA in 1964. With a menu of 19¢ tacos, tostadas, fries and 24 cent cheeseburgers, Del Taco brought in $169 in sales on its first day in business - the equivalent of 900 tacos. Things were off to a bold start.
The very first Taco Bell founded March 21, 1962, San Bernardino, CA. The original name of Taco Bell was Glen Bell. Named after the founder. Taco Bell is an American-based chain of fast food restaurants originating in Irvine, California in 1962, by founder Glen Bell.
Taco Bell has been around a bit longer than Del Taco but they both get about the same business. With hours, company, and pay, it’s all about the same. Prices are about the same with everything involving food, and drinks.
