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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The partnership offered limited partnership units for sale between September
1984 and December 1985. 15% of the $6.751 million raised through sale of limited
partnership units was used to pay commissions to brokers and to reimburse the
General Partner for offering costs incurred. Approximately $5.6 million of the
remaining funds were used to acquire sites and build seven restaurants. Two
restaurants were sold in 1994.

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

The five restaurants leased to Del Taco make up almost all of the income
producing assets of the partnership. Therefore, the business of the partnership
is almost entirely dependent on the success of the Del Taco trade name
restaurants that lease the properties. The success of the restaurants is
dependent on a large variety of factors, including, but not limited to, consumer
demand and preference for fast food, in general, and for Mexican-American food
in particular.

Results of Operations

The partnership 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.

The following table sets forth rental revenue earned by restaurant for the year:

the restaurants. The partnership earned rental revenue of $527,732 during the
year ended December 31, 2000, which represents an increase of $39,213 from 1999.

restaurants under lease.

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, 2000 and
1999, and the related statements of income, partners' equity and cvash flows for
the three years ended December 31, 2000. These financial statements and the
sche3dule referred to below are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the three years ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule in the index of the
financial statements is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities
and Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of the basic financial
statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in our audits 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.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                DECEMBER 31, 2000


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.

The partnership accounts for property and equipment in accordance with 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.

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 5).

DEL TACO RESTAURANT PROPERTIES II
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
DECEMBER 31, 2000


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -
         (Continued)

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 - LEASING ACTIVITIES

The partnership leases certain properties for operation of restaurants to Del
Taco, Inc. 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
partnership had a total of five properties leased as of December 31, 2000, 1999
and 1998.

The five restaurants operated by Del Taco, for which the partnership is the
lessor, had combined, unaudited sales of $4,397,769, $4,070,994 and $4,010,160
