SpaceGhost Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 So with the closing of our only Del Taco location this week, and the apparent abandonment of ambitious plan of opening 40 stores in the Houston area, I got to thinking about the original locations that Del Taco had in Houston. I believe they closed in 1984? I'm not 100% sure on the date though. I know that Goode Co. Taqueria at Kirby and Westpark started life as a Del Taco but am unsure of any other locations, does anyone have a listing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firebird65 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) Used to be one by UH I would to when I attended there. It was on the corner of Elgin and Cullen. An empty field is there now, and a McDonald's was built in the next lot. I live down the street from the one that was at Fondren and Westheimer. I was very disappointed. Nothing like the one I remembered. Not surprised or upset it closed. To think, I used miss Del Taco. Not sure why anymore.

gmac Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Wait. It closed? The one on Westheimer?NOOOOOOOOO!!!I normally go once a week, but due to business travel I haven't been in a couple weeks.That sucks. Food as good and reasonably priced. Always clean, with friendly staff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to live not too far away from it when it was still open and occasionally ate there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota79 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) The Goode Co Taquiera was a Del Taco and I enjoyed it. Of course I was young (poor) and thought that was the fancy place to go. Edited May 22, 2015 by Dakota79 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppahop Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 There was one on Bellaire just west of Strake / St Agnes until about 1987 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronTiger Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I was going to write that Del Taco did survive at least up to 1985 or so, because it was mentioned in an article about the proliferation of fast food restaurants in Houston (by 1985, both Bojangles and El Pollo Loco had pulled out of Houston...yes they did exist before) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurgis Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I remember a Del Taco on S. Braeswood, just west of Hillcroft. It and McDonalds were next to each other. Then McDonald's built a bigger building on the corner of that intersection, and is still there as far as I know. An aerial picture still shows the old Del Taco building, and a smaller building in between it and the McDonalds. I remember them having really good tacos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChannelTwoNews Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Last time I was down there, I started to check in some of the 80s era phone books at the George Memorial Library in Richmond. Found there was a Rosenberg location for a few years, but didn't think to check the Houston area books they had for that time. May be back in a month or so and will do some research then... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallycat Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Don't forget the Del Taco on South Gessner. Close to a Chicago style deep dish pizza place. A little bit south of Westpark if my memory is holding up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that's something I had no idea about.. I figured the actual Rose-Rich area would of still been too far out in the boonies at that point to get something as "specialized" as a Del Taco. Although I guess I'm remembering the town as smaller than it actually was. I might just make the drive out to George Memorial Library to check on that. By the way do you need an active Fort Bend Library card to get at the phone books? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EspersonBuildings Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 As mentioned by earlier post, I too remember the one at Richmond and the 59 Spur as well as the one on S. Braeswood just west of Hillcroft. I grew up in the Hiram Clarke area and remember when Del Taco was built at the corner of Hiram Clarke and West Fuqua. This was in the late 70's. Last time I was in the area (about 10 years ago) it was a Popeye's Fried Chicken restaurant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way do you need an active Fort Bend Library card to get at the phone books? No, you don't need a library card. I haven't had one in ages, and I've been up there a bunch of times just to review the old Houston Post microfilm for some of the threads I've posted in before. The phone books will be in the research & genealogy department on the second level on the west wall. They usually have a few people there to assist all day as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChannelTwoNews Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I did spend some time at the George Memorial Library and looked through the phone directories. The earliest, relatively complete listing I could find was from the 86-87 business pages. In that edition, they were listed this way. Downtown-401 Richmond Av Pasadena-917 Edgebrook North-218 W Greens Rd3101 E FM Rd 196017388 Hempstead Hwy Northwest-1915 Mangum Southwest10100 Bissonnet5919 S Braeswood 9204 Bellaire Blvd9120 S Main11403 Wilcrest Dr4502 W Fuqua12550 Bellaire Blvd7629 W Bellfort Northeast-914 Federal Spring-7400 Louetta18552 Kuykendahl West-2420 Gessner14510 Memorial Dr9134 Long Point5625 Richmond Av East End-3030 Cullen South2601 Bypass 35 An alternate location for "Del Taco Restaurant" is given at 3416 E Broadway. Based on the prefix of the phone number given, it appears to be in Pearland. The number of units appears to decline to the point that the final directory that lists them outright is 89-90, and it's down to three locations:9204 Bellaire Blvd12550 Bellaire Blvd10100 Bissonnet The Rosenberg location at 4417 Avenue H I had mentioned previously appears to have been active for only a few years, based on the directories I checked. The library did have 1975-present, but was missing 1979. It first appears in 1980 and is not included in the 1984-85 book. Didn't think to check the city directories there though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGhost Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Wow - a lot were taken over by Popeye's.. I noticed that. I wonder if the local franchisee swapped the profitable locations and sold the rest. Or if the stores were company owned and a franchisee bought the successful stores and swapped them.

Reefmonkey Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 The only one I remember from my childhood was the one at the southeast corner of Kuykendahl and Louetta in the early 80s. I loved the steak and cheese burrito, it was like slices of Steakums and hot cheese whizz, with sauteed onions. When they opened the one at Westheimer and Fondren a few years ago, I raced over there and was really disappointed not to find it. I tried their fish tacos, a beef burrito, and a bean burrito, but there are SO many better options in Houston for good, fast, cheap tacos and burritos, it's no wonder they didn't last.

blue92 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Wasn't it Del Taco that had the Encurito (sp) (a large beef burrito like thing that was smothered in nacho cheese and chilly covered with diced tomatoes)? It was big enough for a small family to eat just one. Del Taco was taken over in the DFW area by Taco Bueno which for a while didn't even change the outside signs for over a year in some locations just the menu.

nerevar59 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I remember Del Taco on Memorial, back in the late 70's. I think it was between Dairy Ashford and Tully. Excellent cheeseburgers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmer Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 An alternate location for "Del Taco Restaurant" is given at 3416 E Broadway. Based on the prefix of the phone number given, it appears to be in Pearland. Yes, that is in Pearland. You probably won't be surprised to hear that it is a Popeye's Chicken now. I moved to Pearland in 1990 and it has always been Popeye's Chicken while I've been there. There was also a Del Taco on Dixie Drive in Lake Jackson. Either it's been torn down and replaced by Shipley's Donuts or converted into a Shipley's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
