Del Taco — Restaurant in Pasadena

When I'm feeling like a trash panda, it's late at night, my hinge date didn't want to make out with me, it's anytime after 10:00 p.m.. but definitely before 1:00 a.m., this is the place I come to. This is the land of opportunity, this is the place where a child of divorce, a middle-aged man, a person barely holding it together, can come to and order everything on the menu for less than a hundred bucks. I don't do that, I don't hate myself that much. But I love myself that much that I know that if I hated myself that much that I could eat the whole menu at a reasonable price that won't put me into the negatives in my bank account. And the people who work here? Give them all a raise. Idgaf. Give him a raise. They deserve it. Every time I see them at the window. I look in their face and they look into mine. We're finding the same battle y'all. And I just want to say thank you to every single person who works in that particular establishment. I love you. Haven't even said that to my own child. But I love you guys. And to be clear, I love my child. After I hit send or save on this review I'm going to tell my child that I love him. But just know y'all that I love you. This is the building, these are the people who nurture my soul with Mexican inspired delights. They don't do chalupas here because del Taco is for the people unlike that other place. Every time I come here I talk to someone who's real with me. They always ask me if I want hot sauce with that. And I tell them that I do. And they give me not one, not two, not three... But they'll give me like 20 inferno packets. I don't usually use all of the inferno packets I usually use like 5 to 10 of them and I store the rest in my everything drawer. Del Taco is a legendary place. Sure, maybe it's not real Mexican food. But real Mexicans like the food. And yes I can tell by my avatar I don't look like a Mexican. But I am. Del...

In May of this year my mom was sexually assaulted by the employee at the drive thru. He didn't let her order through the speaker, he made her drive up to him, hit on her, asked for her number repeatedly, told her to park so he could come bring her her food to her car, and when she went to pay him he grabbed her arm and didn't let go. This was at night. She was rightfully scared and shaken up and didn't even get to leave with her full order. I made a complaint to corporate through the website and the district manager did reach out to me saying he would "handle it and follow up with me". I reached back out via email for an update and no response. I called him and his phone was off. I finally went down to the location to ask if there was a manager I could speak to, there wasn't so I asked them if the employee, my mom said was named Chris, still worked there and they said no or they didn't know. I'm praying he was fired so he can't do this to anyone else. I regret not filing a police report before it was too late. We will never be coming back and please everyone be warned...

The young employee who took my order in the drive through was really friendly, however once it came time to pick up my order at the window he forgot to give me my drink (I had ordered a root beer with "extra, extra ice"). I had to ask for my drink. I also asked for ketchup & mild sauce packets. When I arrived to my destination I found the tacos I had ordered "with NO lettuce" all had a ton of lettuce on them. My drink had hardly any ice and the ketchup & mild sauce packets I had asked for were not there. I know this all doesn't sound like a big deal, but its is totally inconvenient, especially since these were all simple requests. Basically it comes down to employees not paying attention to...
