Naugles
Merged into Del Taco in 1988; the last Naugles-branded locations were gone by the mid-1990s. A small revival opened in 2015.
Founded by a former Del Taco partner, Naugles was a Southern California fast-food chain serving Mexican food around the clock, beloved by night owls for the Macho Combo Burrito and a cult-favorite menu. Naugles merged with Del Taco in 1988, and the Naugles name was retired by the mid-1990s. Devoted fans kept its memory — and recipes — alive so persistently that the brand was legally revived as a small restaurant in 2015.
