What diners say — our read

The inspection record is the stronger half of this page. Where how long an order takes comes up, the rating that follows averages 4.0, so it reads as a strength. The staff is the next most common subject, in 31% of reviews (averaging 4.2).

Behind those, price is raised in 25% of reviews (2.0 average). Of the 16 rated reviews, 8 sit at four stars or better and 8 at two or below. 5 stars is the modal score, given by 8 of the 16 reviewers who rated.

Against that, the kitchen inspects well — an A (91/100), 1 intermediate and 6 basic violations at the most recent DBPR visit. That inspection was on February 11, 2026. The trend across inspections is improvement. That puts it ahead of 46% of graded kitchens in Orange County. Among the items recorded were food-contact surfaces clean and sanitized and storage & handling of clean equipment and utensils.

Worth separating: the complaints above cluster on whether it is worth the money, not on the kitchen, which inspected well. The individual reviews are below, newest first, if you want the raw material.

    Wrong order. Hard of hearing at the drive through. Also about 20% more expensive than the location just 5 miles away. Tourist prices, and you don't even get tourist quality. Disgusting location. Love del taco, hate this location.

    I was told how was it but just disappointed

    This is the only del taco in central Florida that stopped doing the taco tuesday night deal that has been very popular for years. Disgraceful. Very stingy ownership. Don't support this location. I checked all the other locations in CFL and can see they still offer it on the app every Tuesday. It would only be 17 cents off per taco, yet you guys prefer to pinch pennies than keep regular customers. No wonder the place is frequently empty despite being on idrive.

    I waited about 3 minutes while they were preparing for other guests at the window then a cashier asked me what I wanted and I explained the macho beef burrito and then he said that was no longer available but suggested a similar burrito and a few minutes later I received my burrito for takeout

    I recently had my first experience at Del Taco, and I must say, it was quite impressive. The food offered great value for the price, with delicious flavors that satisfied my cravings. The service was exceptional, with staff members who were not only quick but also very friendly, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with Del Taco and will definitely be returning for more in the future. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a tasty and affordable meal!

    Honestly this is my favorite spot on International. Anytime I visit Orlando this is the first spot I visit. Everything is pretty good, keep up the good work

    I'm from Miami... I was on vacation in Orlando and on the way back home I stopped at the first fast food place that I found. There are no Del Taco in Miami so I decided to give them a try. Tocos sounded like a good alternative... I ordered some meat tacos and they came literally empty.I haven't seen a taco this thin in my life ! Almost, no meat in it. The right word to describe it was "miserable" ! The taste of the meat, way below regular... What a regret !!!

    horrible management... disgusting human who threatens death when you ask for a refund because the service was horrible, couldn't get my order correct... what a terrible human... is this the people you hire? grotesque excuse for a customer service representative.

    First time having Del Taco 🌮 as they don't have them where I am from, and I have been missing out. Definitely the better choice between the fast food taco joints.

    Staff were fantastic and the food was delivered fast and delicious!

    This place is old and sad and needs a facelift and a little love. I’ve worked in this area for many years and visited this location more times than I can count. While it does appear they are slowly remodeling, the decline in food quality just seems to be a step in the wrong direction. Del taco seems to frequently market itself with fresh ingredients. The grilled chicken soft tacos I got today were drastically different from my last visit. Glad this snack only set me back about $4, because the chicken seemed old, the usually plentiful helping of freshly shredded cheese was scarce, and the flour tortillas were tough as if they had been sitting in a warming cabinet for an eternity. Back to Taco Bell down the street because this ain’t it.
