Del Taco vs. Taco Bell

If you aren’t from Southern California, or haven’t spent some time here, there’s a damn good chance you don’t know what Del Taco is. But trust me, once you’ve come face to face with the Del, you will never go back to the Bell.
Now, normally this is one of those painfully-obvious things that you [...]
