http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/19134 Has anyone been to del taco yet? we just got back and i am here to give you my report. I'll give it a C&nbsp; for effort. It was crowded but overall they did an ok job getting our food out to us. I would have given them a B but they got my order wrong and i had to wait longer for them to get it right.&nbsp;I give the food B- as far as fast food goes. It was tasty and hot although my wife and sons meals were not&nbsp;hot, they where luke warm at best.&nbsp;For cleanliness&nbsp;I give then a&nbsp;C- Trash cans were over&nbsp;flowing and tables were dirty.&nbsp;&nbsp;Overall grade is a C-. On a side note...I am a sheet metal worker and i can't help but notice exposed duct&nbsp;. The Duct work in the restaurant was clean looking and a good job unlike the eye sore on Green and&nbsp; F street.

The cashier messed up the order ( completly forgot one of the combo meals after I asked for it twice, even with the help of her manager), my breakfast quesidilla was dripping with grease, and for cleaniness they get a C, it was not too bad but it was still early in the day. I know I will not return anytime soon if I do at all. They need alot of work before I step in there again...</font> http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/19134/#c_177242 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/19134/#c_177242 <font color="#0000ff">If I was to grade them I would give them a D..

I thought the food was fairly good and they didn't mess up our order at all, but the girl at the drive-thru did seem a little unfamiliar with her job.&nbsp; I didn't really expect any different though, since they just opened.&nbsp; The line was a little slow, but a lot of people in front of us were ordering special orders and were very frustrated when the cashier would get confused.&nbsp; Not bad overall. http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/19134/#c_177267 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/19134/#c_177267 I thought the food was fairly good and they didn't mess up our order at all, but the girl at the drive-thru did seem a little unfamiliar with her job.&nbsp; I didn't really expect any different though, since they just opened.&nbsp; The line was a little slow, but a lot of people in front of us were ordering special orders and were very frustrated when the cashier would get confused.&nbsp; Not bad overall. Finally! We have &quot;true, authentic&quot; Mexican food! I wouldn't eat there if you paid me. Well maybe, depends on how much. I am not a big fast food person but, why couldn't it have been a KFC or some other type of food that isn't a block away. Tommy's or In-N-out would have been fine with me. Tehachapi has some of the worst food of any small town that I have ever been in (and I have been in a lot). I am so glad that I come from a cooking family. I bet we eat out maybe once every other month. http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/19134/#c_177269 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/19134/#c_177269 Finally!

It looked packed. After we did some grocery shopping and errands on our way home we passed by Del taco around 9pm. The line-up of cars was still out to the road. I'm not sure if they stayed busy the entire night or we just happened to pass by when they were crazy busy both times.</p> <p>I've never eaten at a del taco before. Alot of people have alot of differing opinions on the quality/taste of the food but no-one has mentioned thier pricing. How is that comparable to the other fast food places?</p> http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/19134/#c_177380 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/19134/#c_177380 <p>I had to pick up someone in Bakersfield on Friday night.&nbsp;We left about 5pm and the line-up of cars for Del Taco was out to the road.

You guys know that Grand Openings are hectic and this is sometimes the first actual customers these workers have helped and I am sure they were nervous and a bit overwhelmed.

I have gone and No I didn't get excellent service....they gave me the wrong kind of drink and my food was luke warm, BUT this is their grand opening and they were packed so I was willing to give them a break. I think I'll wait until things die down to go back. I have to admit that it will make things a bit easier for me in the future. I have a son that isn't a huge Mexican food buff. To be able to go some where and get myself and my daughter some Mexican food and him a burger and fries will be a nice change. </p> <p>In all honesty though I paid 1.89 each for their carne asada tacos.(They are tiny, but I knew this.) I also paid 3.99 for a Macho Burrito( I think that's what they called it for my hubby.) Now they do have burritos for like 1.99 or something I think.  My opinion.......Save your money and eat at Taco Samitch! </p> http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/19134/#c_177430 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/19134/#c_177430 <p>I have to agree with gillfish here.
