They're very different from the original ones though...

Shame on you. There's nothing like a good case of the mudd-butt.

It had been off the menu for a while. It's only back on for the past couple of years.

I know you know this already, but you're much better off every day you haven't had TB. ;)

I always thought Pup'n'Taco was bought out by Del Taco, but I confused it
with Noggles. I always thought Noggles was a step above Del taco,
Pup'n'Taco, and Taco Bell.

Speaking of Del Taco, has anyone else noticed the difference when
you order a regular taco here in the LA area as opposed to ordering
a taco on the way to or from Vegas? Purchasing a taco in either Barstow
(the main stop just before with all the fast food places) or Baker, they give
you like 3x's the fillings. I can easily eat 4 or more here in the LA area, but
at those places I can barely eat 2. Great bargain, just a heads up for those
driving out that way.

trivia time!!!

Dick Naugle the founder of Naugles was a former Del Taco Employee.

he sold the company a year later to Harold Butler, the founder of Denny's.

he sold the company to some corporation, who in 1988 then decided to merge Naugles with...






Del Taco.


by the way... all the "Macho" s*** on Del Taco's menu are carryovers from the Naugles chain.

but wait, there's more.



Del Taco's founder, Ed Hackbarth was originally an employee of Taco Tia, owner Glen Bell's precursor to...





Taco Bell.

And to think after all that...I spelled "Naugles" "Noggles".
Must be the "Whitey" in me.

I've never even heard of this place. :(

I work with Bells' niece at NBC. I've heard the story ad naseum about how her dad ****ed up with that and should have stayed on. (He didn't want to expand and was part of the partnership that bought out Bell. She was right. He did **** up. ;))
