                                     PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

The Registrant is a publicly-held Limited Partnership organized under the
California Uniform Limited Partnership Act.  In accordance with the Partnership
Agreement, the Registrant's General Partner is Del Taco, Inc., a California
corporation ("General Partner").  The Registrant sold 27,006 Units aggregating
$6,751,500 through offering of Limited Partnership Units from September 11,
1984 through December 31, 1985.

The Registrant has engaged in the business of acquiring sites in California for
the construction of seven Mexican-American restaurants for long-term lease to
Del Taco, Inc. for operation under the Del Taco trade name.  Two of the seven
restaurants are no longer operating and were sold by the Registrant during
1994.  Each Property is leased for 35 years on a triple-net basis for a rent
equal to twelve percent of gross sales of the restaurant constructed thereon.
The activities of the Registrant relating to acquisition and development of the
Properties is presented under Item 2 below.  The term of the Partnership
Agreement is until April 30, 2025, unless terminated earlier by means provided
therein.

Because the five Properties owned by the Registrant constitute virtually all of
the Registrant's income producing assets, the business of the Registrant is
almost entirely dependent on the success of the Del Taco trade name restaurants
which lease those Properties.  In turn, the success of those restaurants, which
are not operated by the Registrant, is dependent on a larger variety of
factors, including, but not limited to, consumer demand and preference for fast
food, in general, and Mexican- American food in particular.

The Registrant has no full time employees.  The General Partner is vested with
full authority as to the general management and supervision of the business and
affairs of the Registrant, and has a one percent interest in the profits or
losses and distributions of the Registrant.  Limited Partners have no right to
participate in the management or conduct of such business and affairs.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Registrant is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings.


ITEM 4.  SUBMISSIONS OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

On July 14, 1994, the General Partner held a special meeting of limited
partners of the Partnership at the Doubletree Hotel, 100 The City Drive,
Orange, California, for the purpose of voting on whether Del Taco should
continue to serve as the General Partner of the Partnership.

A proposal to remove Del Taco as General Partner failed to obtain the necessary
majority vote, receiving only 5.39 percent of eligible votes, and was defeated.
Thus, Del Taco will continue to serve as sole General Partner of the
Partnership, subject to all of the rights and responsibilities set forth in the
Partnership's Restated Certificate and Agreement of Limited Partnership.

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SECURITY
         HOLDER MATTERS

The Registrant, a publicly-held Limited Partnership, sold 27,006 ($6,751,500)
Limited Partnership Units during the offering period ended December 31, 1985
and currently has 1,493 Limited Partners of record.  There is no public market
for the trading of the Units.  Distributions made by the Registrant to the
Limited Partners during the past three fiscal years are described in Note 7 to
the Notes to the Financial Statements contained under Item 8.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Registrant commenced offering of Limited Partnership Units on September 11,
1984.  By December 31, 1985, the sale of such Units provided a total
capitalization for the Registrant of $6,751,500.  Fifteen percent of the cash
received from the sale of Limited Partnership Units was used to pay commissions
to brokers and to reimburse the General Partner for offering costs incurred.
The remaining funds were expended for the acquisition of sites and construction
of seven restaurants.  In June 1986, the first two restaurants opened for
business.  Four additional restaurants opened in 1987, and the seventh
restaurant opened in April of 1988.  Approximately $5,600,000 was expended for
such purposes.

In February 1994, an escrow was opened pursuant to an agreement between the
Registrant and the City of South Gate for the sale of the South Gate property
to the city of South Gate for an amount which exceeded appraised value.  Escrow
closed on May 18, 1994.  The net proceeds of $497,202 were distributed by the
Partnership to Limited Partners of record as of May 31, 1994 and was paid June
1, 1994.

In September 1994, the Registrant entered into agreement to sell the Fallbrook
property for a price which exceeded the appraised value but was less than the
net book value.  Accordingly, the most recent carrying value of the Fallbrook
property was adjusted down to the expected sales price generating a write down
of $74,797 in the third quarter of 1994. Escrow closed on November 30, 1994.
The net proceeds of $357,531 were distributed by the Partnership to Limited
Partners of record as of November 30, 1994 and was paid December 12, 1994.

Since the restaurants owned by the Registrant commenced operation, cash flow
from Lease payments received from Del Taco, the Registrant's General

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued

Partner, which leases all five remaining restaurants, has provided adequate
liquidity for operation of the Registrant (notwithstanding the sale of two of
the restaurants, as noted above).  However, the Registrant's overwhelmingly
predominant source of income to meet its expenses and fund distributions to its
Limited Partners is payments from Del Taco under the Leases, comprising
primarily rent calculated on the basis of the gross sales of the restaurants
operated on the Properties, as to which there are no contractually specified
minimum or guaranteed amounts.  Thus, the adequacy of the Registrant's
liquidity and capital resources in the future will depend primarily upon the
gross revenues of such restaurants as well as upon Del Taco's financial
condition and results of operations generally.


Results of Operations

The Registrant owned seven Properties that were under long-term lease to Del
Taco for restaurant operations.  Two restaurants were sold in 1994 and five are
currently operating.  For the five operating Del Taco restaurants, the
Registrant receives rental revenues equal to 12 percent of restaurant sales.

During 1993, pursuant to a Settlement Agreement dated October 26, 1993,
approved in connection with Del Taco, Inc.'s voluntary backruptcy case, the
South Gate and Fallbrook properties were appraised at $450,000 and $425,000,
respectively.  Such appraised values were significantly less than the net book
values of the relevant properties and the registrant has reflected a writedown
of these properties from their net book values to their estimated realizable
selling values, net of estimated expenses of sale.  Such writedown of real
estate held for sale totaled $361,050.

The South Gate and Fallbrook properties were sold on May 18, 1994 and November
30, 1994, respectively.  No gain or loss was recorded as a result of the sale
of the South Gate property.  In September 1994, the Registrant entered an
agreement to sell the Fallbrook property for a price which exceeded the most
recent appraised value but was less than the net book value.  Accordingly, the
carrying value was adjusted down to the expected sale price generating a write
down of $74,797 in the third quarter of 1994.

The Registrant had rental revenues of $439,055 for the year ended December 31,
1995, representing a decrease from the rental revenues of $467,568 in

remaining restaurants.

Operating expenses include general and administrative expenses which consist
primarily of accounting fees and costs of distribution of information to the
Limited Partners.  For the years ended December 31, general and administrative
expenses decreased from $52,683 in 1994 to $47,145 in 1995 reflecting lower
costs for accounting and distribution of information to the Limited Partners.
Pursuant to Del Taco's Reorganization Plan in December 1993, Del Taco
reimbursed the Registrant for all actual legal expenses, and certain other
expenses, incurred by the Registrant as a result of the filing of the
Bankruptcy Petition on March 29, 1993.

The Registrant incurred depreciation expense in the amount of $144,075,
$144,075 and $195,016 for each of the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and
1993, respectively.  Such decrease in 1994 and 1995 is due to the cessation of
depreciation expense related to the sold properties.

For the reasons stated under "Liquidity and Capital Resources" above, the
Registrant's results of operations in the future will depend primarily upon the
gross revenues of the restaurants located on the Properties leased to Del Taco
as well as upon Del Taco's financial condition and results of operations
generally.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued

In fiscal 1996, the Registrant will be required to adopt Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of".  The Registrant
anticipates that SFAS No. 121 will not have a material impact on the
Registrant's financial statements.

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
                   ----------------------------------------


To the Partners of
  Del Taco Restaurant Properties II:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of DEL TACO RESTAURANT
PROPERTIES II (a California limited partnership) as of December 31, 1995 and
1994, and the related statements of operations, changes in partners' equity and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Del Taco Restaurant Properties
II as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               DECEMBER 31, 1995

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

THE PARTNERSHIP:  Del Taco Restaurant Properties II (a California limited
partnership) was formed on June 20, 1984, for the purpose of acquiring real
property in California for construction of seven Mexican-American restaurants
to be leased under long-term agreements to Del Taco, Inc.  (General Partner for
operation under the Del Taco trade name).  As of April 28, 1988, all seven
restaurants had commenced operation on acquired properties. The South Gate and
Fallbrook properties were sold on May 18, 1994 and November 30, 1994,
respectively. (see Note 8).

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING:  The Partnership utilizes the accrual method of accounting
for transactions relating to the business of the Partnership.  Distributions
are made to the General and Limited Partners in accordance with the provisions
of the Partnership Agreement (see Note 2).

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:  Property and equipment is stated at cost.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful
lives which are 20 years for land improvements, 35 years for buildings and
improvements, and 10 years for machinery and equipment.

INCOME TAXES:  No provision has been made for federal or state income taxes on
Partnership net income, since the Partnership is not subject to income tax.
Partnership income is includable in the taxable income of the individual
partners as required under applicable income tax laws.  Certain items,
primarily related to depreciation methods, are accounted for differently for
income tax reporting purposes (see Note 6).

NET INCOME PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNIT:  Net income per Limited Partnership
Unit is based upon the weighted average number of Units outstanding during the
period which amounted to 27,006 for all years presented.

USE OF ESTIMATES:  The preparation of the financial statments in conformity
with generally accepted acounting principles requires management to make
certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statments and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 - PARTNERS' EQUITY

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, annual partnership net income or loss is
allocated one percent to the General Partner and 99 percent to the Limited
Partners.  Partnership gains from any sale or refinancing will be allocated one
percent to the General Partner and 99 percent to the Limited Partners until
allocated gains and profits equal losses, distributions and syndication costs
previously allocated.  Additional gains will be allocated 15 percent to the
General Partner and 85 percent to the Limited Partners.

NOTE 3 - SITE ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT FEE

Under terms of the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner is entitled to
receive a site acquisition and development fee in an amount equal to the lesser
of five percent of the cost of the related property or $35,000.  The fee shall
be for service rendered in connection with site selection and the design and
supervision of construction of improvements to acquired properties.  No site
acquisition and development fees were paid in 1995, 1994 and 1993.

NOTE 4 - LEASING ACTIVITIES

The Registrant leases (the "Leases") certain properties (the "Properties") for
operation of restaurants to Del Taco, Inc. ("General Partner") on a triple net
basis.  The Leases are for terms of 35 years commencing with the completion of
the restaurant facility located on each Property and require monthly rentals
equal to 12 percent of the gross sales of the restaurants.  There is no minimum
rental under any of the Leases.  The Registrant had a total of seven Properties
leased as of December 31, 1993 and a total of five as of December 31, 1995 and
1994.

NOTE 8 - WRITEDOWN OF REAL ESTATE HELD FOR SALE

During 1993, the South Gate and Fallbrook properties were appraised at $450,000
and 425,000, respectively.  Such appraised values were significantly less than
the net book values of the relevant properties and the Registrant has reflected
a writedown of these properties from their net book values to their estimated
realizable selling values, net of estimated expenses of sale.  Such writedown
of real estate held for sale totaled $361,050.

In May 1994, the South Gate property was sold yielding net proceeds to the
Registrant of $497,202. In September 1994, the Registrant entered an agreement
to sell the Fallbrook property for a price which exceeded the appraised value
but was less than the net book value.  Accordingly, the carrying value of the
Fallbrook property was adjusted down to the expected sale price generating a
write down of $74,797 in the third quarter of 1994.
