★★★★★First time at this Robertson location, which I know is a weird thing to say about Del Taco because you'd think a Del Taco is a Del Taco. It's not, though. Never has been.
Came through late afternoon on a Thursday, which is the move — you avoid the lunch rush and the dinner chaos, and whoever's working that shift usually has some rhythm going. Ordered a spread: a couple of the chicken tacos, the bean and cheese burrito, fries, and a Del Inferno burger because I wanted to see if they'd actually put heat on it or just gesture at it.
The fries were the tell, like they always are. Crispy, not sitting under a lamp for forty minutes. That matters. The bean and cheese burrito was properly constructed — even distribution, not a cold pocket of beans in the middle with cheese bunched at one end. Sounds basic but I've eaten enough of these to know that's not guaranteed.
The Inferno burger had heat, more than I expected. Respectable. The chicken tacos were fine — Del Taco chicken taco fine, which is a real category that exists and I'm not embarrassed by it.
Service was fast and the receipt was clean, meaning they got the order right. I'll take that.
The location itself is a standard strip mall setup, nothing notable. Parking is slightly annoying given the Robertson traffic but you figure it out.
One visit doesn't tell me much. I need to come back when it's busier and see if the fry quality holds and whether the assembly stays consistent. My working theory is this location has decent crew discipline, but I'm not ready to commit to that. Ask me after visit three.
