== Founding Date Contradiction? ==
 
The "Del Taco Holdings, Inc." box at the top right shows "founded 1957 in Yermo, California." The article text under "History" (plus Del Taco's website) shows "founded in 1964 in Yermo, California." [[User:Suzanne Astorino|astorino]] ([[User talk:Suzanne Astorino|talk]]) 08:28, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
I couldn't tell you where I read it, but I remember reading that the chain originated from a single California location, at the time called ''Casa'' del Taco, a much more grammatically reasonable moniker, which was shortened not long thereafter, which would explain the chain's odd name. --[[User:4.245.93.34|4.245.93.34]] 09:09, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Casa Del Taco is an unrelated restaurant. There is also currently a restaurant in business using the name Casa Del taco. 15:11, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
== Criticism ==
 
== unclarity about name change ==
I removed the following from the article since it seemed to be [[WP:OR|original research]] (or at least had that appearance.
: The restaurant is recieving some criticism of it not listing its ingredients to its costumers. They have no pamphlets in the stores, nor site the ingredients on their website, nor will give it out when you call the 1-800 number. This has made contributed to some people boycotting the store until they do list their ingredients to the public.

the 'history - 1970s' section mentions that "casa" was dropped from te brand name, but nowhere the original brand name (inluding te word "casa") is mentioned. <small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/213.118.139.125|213.118.139.125]] ([[User talk:213.118.139.125|talk]]) 09:47, 23 April 2015 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

: Ah.. the [http://www.deltaco.com/dtcontact/ contact page] still lists the world HQ as Lake Forest, CA. [[User:Mkilly|Mkilly]] 05:37, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

The phrase, "He was the mastermind..." << Is this OK? It seems like unsubstantiated opinion to me, and self-promotional. If others agree, I would suggest removing that phrase, or re-wording it to something more encyclopedic and neutral. Cheers.

:: Well, but the release's first paragraph reads... "Sagittarius Brands, the parent company of Captain D’s Seafood, has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Del Taco. Del Taco, headquartered in Lake Forest, CA, is the nation's second largest Mexican quick-service restaurant chain. Captain D's, headquartered in Nashville, TN, is the nation’s second largest seafood quick-service restaurant chain." There's nothing in the press release saying anything about Del Taco's headquarters moving, only that the company's being acquired. Most of the time, I understand, when acquisitions take place on this scale, there's a degree of autonomy remaining in subsidiaries. A press release issued since says nothing about the HQ moving, but again reiterates Lake Forest, CA: <http://www.deltaco.com/dtpressroom/index.cfm?newsID=46>. Kraft Foods, for example, is based in Illinois, but its 86% owner Altria Group is in NYC. [[User:Mkilly|Mkilly]] 19:47, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
 
== New"Founders" Locationnamed in MIthe sidebar ==
As of Summer 2006, [[Roseville, MI]] is now home to [[Michigan]]'s second Del Taco location!
 
So, the founders of Del Taco were most definitely Ed Hackbarth and David Jameson. Who's the jokester who put "Watson Ferreri"? The only person by that name I can locate via Google is a 14-year-old from Okemos, Michigan. [[User:This.is.mattness|This.is.mattness]] ([[User talk:This.is.mattness|talk]]) 16:56, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

== Indiana ==
 
Del Taco will apparently be opening 16 locations in the Indianapolis area (their first stores in Indiana) sometime in the near future.
This is according to an article in the Indianapolis Star. (http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2007309260012) [[User:Brainscar|Brainscar]] 15:22, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 
▲To whom it may concern, on March 3, 2008, a Del Taco location was opened for business in Mishawaka, Indiana. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/76.23.69.196|76.23.69.196]] ([[User talk:76.23.69.196|talk]]) 07:19, 13 April 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
 
== Illinois ==
 
The article states that the first Del Taco restaurant in Illinois was opened in 2006 - however, this information is incorrect. Prior to this, a Del Taco location could be found in Belleville, Illinois (the location has since closed, and been reopened as a Subway). <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/24.207.188.97|24.207.188.97]] ([[User talk:24.207.188.97|talk]]) 04:00, 20 November 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
