ChannelTwoNews Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 In at least one location anyway, at Westheimer near Fondrenhttp://swamplot.com/the-sign-of-del-taco-rises-over-houston/2012-02-22/I tried to find information about expansion in the Houston area, but could only find plans for a major push into DFW in recent years. Nevertheless, the local store is listed as 'coming soon' on the locations page... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricco67 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Never even knew of them until I heard a brief mention of them on an episode of The Big Bang Theory.I just thought they were some made up place for a punchline. It'll be interesting to see how they compare/survive against Taco Bell (which should be no big deal) and other local joints.I mean, really? Can't we use another good Mexican joint in this city, that is located over 4 hours away from the border? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkultra25 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Del Taco is (or used to be) quite a bit better than Taco Bell, which isn't saying much. In the 80s I used to eat at the one which was at Richmond and Spur 527 - I think there's a Shipley's at that location now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they pulled out of the Houston area about 20 years ago or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkLTD Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I saw that they are "now training" at the location on Westheimer just west of Fondren. Thought it was just a Big Bang Theory punchline too until I saw this the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sifuwong Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Del Taco was much better than Taco Hell....too bad they left town back in the 80s. Isn't it a California based restaurant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
