01 The story, in three paragraphs

Why everyone keeps coming back.

Nestled in the heart of Santa Maria at 1565 S Broadway, Del Taco offers a vibrant fusion of classic American and Mexican fast-food favorites that promise a flavorful and satisfying experience. This bustling eatery excels at bringing together the best of both worlds—from mouthwatering burgers to crave-worthy tacos, making it a go-to spot for breakfast, lunch, and late-night cravings alike.

Del Taco’s menu is a celebration of bold, crave-inspiring flavors. Their DOUBLE DEL® CHEESEBURGER is an irresistible choice, featuring two 100% beef patties grilled to perfection, layered with melted American cheese, crisp lettuce, fresh tomato slices, diced onions, and their special burger sauce—all nestled in a toasted sesame seed bun. For those seeking an extra savory punch, the BACON DOUBLE DEL® CHEESEBURGER adds crispy bacon that complements the juicy patties beautifully.

If you’re dining with family or hosting a casual get-together, the Fiesta Packs are an absolute winner. Choose from combinations like 6 Snack Tacos & 6 Bean & Cheese Burritos or 6 Grilled Chicken Tacos & 6 Bean & Cheese Burritos, designed to share generous portions of their signature items. These packs make fueling a crowd both simple and delicious.

Accompany your meal with their decadent sides like the QUESO LOADED FRIES, which are perfectly crispy fries smothered in creamy queso blanco, seasoned beef, sharp cheddar, fresh diced tomatoes, cool sour cream, and jalapeños that deliver just the right amount of heat. Or try the robust CARNE ASADA STEAK FRIES topped with tender grilled carne asada, savory secret sauce, housemade guacamole, and fresh cheddar for an indulgent bite that lingers delightfully on the palate.

Del Taco isn’t just about great food—it’s about warm, attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere that keeps locals returning time and again. Anthony A’s experience highlights their genuine care; even after a mix-up, the staff’s prompt and friendly resolution left a lasting positive impression. Regulars like Jill Roberts appreciate the consistency and comforting familiarity, while Cleona Bautista praises the fresh and thoughtful touches like their vegan-friendly, freshly made refried beans.

Whether you’re craving a hearty burger or crave the zest of authentic tacos, Del Taco at Santa Maria stands out as a reliable, flavorful stop that captures the best fast-food charm with quality and care. It’s a refreshing reminder that fast food can still delight the senses and bring moments of simple joy to your day.

We arrived and departed in a rush, and actually left with the wrong order. Before they could let us know, we had already left. When we got back (after a movie even) they entire staff was apologetic and replaced our order. I’m very impressed with the service here.

Been the most consistent of all my favorite fast food places (maybe tied with In n Out Burger) Although, I will say the bean and cheese cup has shrunk down in size considerably in 35 years

Grew up in Orange County, moved to SLO two years ago. Knew Dell Taco was better than that Pepsi owned place but didn't realize how much better until I was in Santa Maria and went to Del Taco for the first time in 2 years. SO much better!! The tortillas are thicker and tastier, the meat is more flavorful. I miss it.
