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 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. 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. 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 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.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED
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.
The following table sets forth rental revenue earned by restaurant for the year:
YEAR ENDED

-------- -------- --------
Total $448,625 $431,906 $439,055
======== ======== ========
The Registrant had rental revenues of $448,625 for the year ended December 31,
1997, representing an increase from the rental revenues of $431,906 in 1996.
Such increase is directly attributable to increased sales at the remaining
restaurants.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the percentage
relationship to total general and administrative expenses of items included in
the Registrant's Statements of Income:

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED
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 $50,834 in 1996 to $49,595 in 1997 reflecting lower
costs for accounting and distribution of information to the Limited Partners.
The Registrant incurred depreciation expense in the amount of $89,512, $144,075
and $144,075 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
The decrease in depreciation expense during 1997 was a result of certain
equipment becoming fully depreciated during the year.
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.
Management does not believe the operations of the Company will be significantly
impacted by the year 2000 software issue and does not believe the year 2000
software issue will materially effect the Company's operations, financial
position or cash flows.

[ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP LETTERHEAD]
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, 1997 and
1996, and the related statements of income, changes in partners' equity and
cash flows for each of three years in the period ended December 31, 1997. 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 audits 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, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole. The schedule in the index of financial statements
is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange
Commissions rules and is not part of the basic financial statements. This
schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of
the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states, in all
material respects, the financial data required to be set forth therein in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

DEL TACO RESTAURANT PROPERTIES II
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1997
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.
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.
In fiscal 1996, the Registrant adopted 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." SFAS 121 requires that long-lived
assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. In
evaluating long-lived assets held for use, an impairment loss is recognized if
the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest
charges) is less than the carrying value of the asset. Once a determination has
been made that an impairment loss should be recognized for long-lived assets,
various assumptions and estimates are used to determine fair value including,
among others, estimated costs of construction and development, recent sales of
comparable properties and the opinions of fair value prepared by independent
real estate appraisers. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the
lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
The adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not have a material effect on the Registrant's
financial statements.

DECEMBER 31, 1997
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -
CONTINUED
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 statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements 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 1997, 1996 and 1995.

DECEMBER 31, 1997
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 five Properties
leased as of December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995.
The five restaurants operated by Del Taco, for which the Registrant is the
lessor, had combined, unaudited sales of $3,738,542, $3,599,217, $3,658,792 and
unaudited net income of $194,001, $162,868 and $195,392 for the years ended
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Net income by restaurant
includes charges for general and administrative expenses incurred in connection
with supervision of restaurant operations and interest expense.
The Clay Street restaurant in Pedley (Riverside), California had unaudited net
income of $2,641 and net losses of $1,636 and $4,854 for the years ended
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
