Naugles returns after 26 years thanks to trademark lapse on Del Taco's part

This was a well known chain in southern California in the 1980s.

There were more than 200 Naugles locations, but they were bought by Del Taco and converted into that brand.
Naugles ceased to exist, save for a few items that Del Taco "stole" from the menu and incorporated into theirs.
The dumbasses forgot about the Naugles brand, though, and forgot to renew the trademark. A huge Naugles fan grabbed it, and after a 5-year court battle, he won, and now a single Naugles is opening in Fountain Valley, California.

Right now I am in Central California and this BY’s was modeled after the old Naugles shops. The food is pretty close, even down the the salsa cups.
Some history- When the new Naugles owner got started, he came to BT’s to observe the operation, take notes, etc. This place is literally the In N Out Burger of Mexican fast food- quick, good quality and cheap price.

BT’s even uses the old Naugles motto and tag lines…
