I love Del Taco. It is my ole reliable when I am out an about and in need of something to take the edge off. This was the case recently while heading north up Rancho a little after 10 at night. I spied one car in the drive-thru and thought I had scored. That was until I pulled in and another vehicle which had come in from another entrance beat me to the squawk box.
They took their time ordering and I get this is not DT's fault. Listening to the order it was nothing out of the ordinary. It just took a while for the driver and passenger to come to a conclusion.
I quickly made my order which consisted of a quesadilla and a bean burrito. I then pulled up behind two vehicles. One of them was the original vehicle I had seen in the drive-thru. I lost track of time after an approximate 10 minute wait. I had to go to my happy place after thoughts of 4x4 out of the drive-thru crept into my mind.
When I finally arrived at the window, I felt an unreasonable amount of time had surpassed given the amount of traffic. I wanted to just keep driving, but I was hungry. You can't eat principals but you can always yelp. The cashier was so so and in no way matched the pleasantries I was throwing down. Oh well, at least the food was warm...
