Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net Income Per Limited Partnership Unit	NOTE 2 – NET INCOME PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNIT Net income per limited partnership unit is based on net income attributable to the limited partners (after one percent allocation to the general partner) using the weighted average number of units outstanding during the periods presented, which amounted to 8,751 in 2015 and 2014. Pursuant to the partnership agreement, annual partnership net income is allocated one percent to Del Taco LLC, formerly known as Del Taco, Inc., (Del Taco or the General Partner) and 99 percent to the limited partners. A partnership net loss in any year will be allocated 25 percent to the General Partner and 75 percent to the limited partners until the losses allocated equal income previously allocated. Any additional losses will be 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. Additional gains will be allocated 25 percent to the General Partner and 75 percent to the limited partners.
