Del Taco- a sign of the times

[Deckin Around]

The fast food minimum wage hike and shrinkflation bs has hit the consumer (me) hard on this one. Del shrank the size of the cheap s.

 

[rightytighty]

All of the filling fell out of your Taco onto the wrapper.

 

[EmpirE231]

that's like 2 tortilla chips held together

. I get em with no lettuce and they usually hookup extra cheese so it doest’t look so weak. That’s the spilled overage and somebody in the kitchen probably got written up for that.

 

[attitude]

Ouch Del Taco has always been one of the best if not the best deal in fast food.

That said, a lot of fast food companies are coming back out with their cheap meal deals. The declining sales are starting to take their toll.

Jack in the box buying them i'm sure doesn't help. That being said their egg and cheese breakfast burrito's bold, make me shit myself all day long. They are good though lol

A burger place that also sells tacos buying a taco place that also sells burgers and they’re already fuckin it up.

I like the three full size for $8.
The three for $3 are the small street snack tacos.

 

[J DUNN]

I went in to one the other day just for a Diet Coke and it was $3 and some change. I think I walked out. I'm not paying that much for a soda. Gas stations can be way cheaper for many reasons but one of them is because they don't have to pay fast food wages. CA policy screwing the consumer one more time.

Never leave home without my coupons.

Shrinkflation is crazy, I think Toblerone were the first to ever do it, but that was a decade ago. Fast food are definitely shrinking everything, cup sizes were the first thing I noticed.

How you guys can consciously poison yourselves w/ that shit is beyond me?
Reap what you sow comes to mind.

 

[rivermobster]

Pretty sure that's from their two dollar menu. We buy em all the time.

Great snacks!

 

[Ziggy]

Wife and I order some fu-fu shrimp taco's at the Mirage "adult" pool 2 or 3 yrs ago, like $35-40. We got 3 tacos with one shrimp in each one on a shell the size of a Tostitos corn chip.
Quite literally the size of my thumb.
Beyond ridiculous

 

[CLdrinker]

I thought a small taco was what we all wanted.

Del has the real chedder cheese, it makes all the difference in the tacos and quesadillas. The shell does look suspect. I am looking forward to when RFK takes over the FDA and fake food will be banned.

Del does not have a tight taco on the menu.

That’s the mini taco

 

[RVRKID]

Have to stick with THE Del Taco, closest thing to Barstow/Lenwood items.

 

[coolchange]

It all went to shit when Naugles became Del. Egg burrito extra sauce.

Value taco, snack menu taco, whatever they are calling it this week it got smaller and the price didn't.
I might have AI write a strongly worded email to the company.

Philly's Best where we eat at a lot had a large soda at $3.50 a year ago which I thought was outrageous knowing fountain sodas have the biggest profit margin of anything in a restaurant. Last week it was $4.20. My fam is at $80 with a $5 tip on take-out for 4 cheesesteaks and 2 onion rings with no drinks.
Trying to keep the big ticket items the same is forcing them all to mark up all the sides and drinks that people don't notice as much.

You tell yourself whatever you need to bud.
You do know our food is BANNED in 20 countries right? It's the common denominator to all the new illnesses and related drugs produced by the chemical/pharmaceutical Co's.

 

[PlumLoco]

As others have said @Deckin Around , you got the value sized taco. What you expected was probably The Del Taco. Still comes bigger and better than any other fast food chain taco. The Del Taco is still reasonably priced, but the Del Beef Burrito/Combo burritos are half their previous size and now cost about $7.00 with extra cheese. I lost 50 lbs in a year after retiring. I was starting my work day off, every day, with Del Taco. Pizza buffet at lunch probably didn't help either.

The sarcasm was lost. That's exactly why I said I'd be happy if RFK banned fake foods. Go start a health food thread so I can piss on it.

I AM talking about the value taco!! That's why I said "the cheap tacos" in the op. It shrunk. The del taco is the bigger one with tomatoes, I am very taco educated.

Do you drink alcohol or ever walk outside and breathe the air?

For me and after years of suffrage, nothing works better than gravity. I sleep with my head slightly elevated and it has worked wonders. the dumbass doctors never told me to do that though! But yes, I'm on daily meds too.

Our bed will litterally put you in more positions than a Kama sutra manual. I raise the head up as well , since I started on that med I began occasionally getting "baloney burps" in the middle of the nite , I keep a glass of water and Alka Selser to put the fire out . Tadalifil relaxes the muscle at the top of the stomach ...............

When they killed the Spicy jack chicken quesadilla it ruined it for me. I wonder if Barstow still has them?

Get the regular quesadilla and ask for a side of green sauce! Dip quesadilla in warm green sauce and enjoy. You can thank me later.

 

[PlumLoco]

I request green sauce on any of their burritos and definitely on quesadillas.

 

[hawgty55]

They do. I live out of state and dont eat it unless its in barsow. It almost makes me fly into vegas when i visit cali.

Not true, paper plates aren’t cheap.

That’s OK I washed them and reuse them, paper plates give me the authentic taco shops experience.

Well we are talking Del Taco here Ziggy...

That sounds like a bargin at Mirage poolside with drink in hand.

 

[Deckin Around]

No, I have midget hands and the the tacos are just that fuckin small now.
I could probably fit 6 of those things in 1 Barstow taco.
I don’t know if there is any other non-corporate Del location that is private owned like the family of the Barstow location. I googled it, but didn’t find anything.

Yeah, I'm well aware vegas isnt cheap but I'm not accustomed to paying $10+ on a Tostito chip with a lone shrimp in it. Even my wife was agast.

 

[bilz]

They have a snack taco meal deal. 2 snack taco. Fries a churro and a drink. 4.99
Maybe not the best for you, but easy on the wallet.
