NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements, some of which are unaudited, have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Registrant's annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary
to present fairly the partnership's financial position at September 30, 1999,
the results of operations and cash flows for the nine month periods ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998 have been included. Operating results for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999.

NOTE 2 - NET INCOME PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNIT

Net income per limited partnership unit is based upon the weighted average
number of units outstanding during the periods presented, which amounted to
8,751 in 1999 and 1998.

Pursuant to the partnership agreement, annual partnership net income is
allocated one percent to the General Partner and 99 percent to the limited
partners. A partnership net loss in any year will be allocated 24 percent to the
General Partner and 76 percent to the limited partners until the losses so
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 24
percent to the General Partner and 76 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.

For the three months ended September 30, 1999, the five restaurants operated by
Del Taco, for which the partnership is the lessor, had combined, unaudited sales
of $977,544 and net income of $61,546 as compared to $991,832 and $63,716
respectively, for the corresponding period in 1998. Net income by restaurant
includes charges for general and administrative expenses incurred in connection
with supervision of restaurant operations and interest expense. For the three
months ended September 30, 1999, the one restaurant operated by a Del Taco
franchisee, for which the partnership is the lessor, had unaudited sales of
$198,717 as compared with $187,269 during the same period in 1998.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the five restaurants operated by
Del Taco, for which the partnership is the lessor, had combined, unaudited sales
of $2,756,556 and net income of $140,234 as compared to $2,753,257 and $145,627
respectively, for the corresponding period in 1998. For the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, the one restaurant operated by a Del Taco franchisee, for
which the partnership is the lessor, had unaudited sales of $557,517 as compared
with $513,602 during the same period in 1998.

For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Elkhorn
Boulevard restaurant in Sacramento, California reported net losses of $1,986 and
$6,927 as compared to net losses of $6,054 and $14,778 for the corresponding
periods in 1998.

NOTE 4 - TRANSACTIONS WITH DEL TACO

The receivable from General Partner consists primarily of rent accrued for the
month of September. The September rent receivable was collected on October 13,
1999.

Del Taco, Inc. serves in the capacity of general partner in other partnerships
which are engaged in the business of operating restaurants, and three other
partnerships which were formed for the purpose of acquiring real property in
California for construction of Mexican-American restaurants for lease under
long-term agreements to Del Taco, Inc. for operation under the Del Taco trade
name.

In addition, see Note 5 with respect to certain distributions to the General
Partner.

NOTE 5 - DISTRIBUTIONS

On October 12, 1999, a distribution to the limited partners of $132,268, or
approximately $15.11 per limited partnership unit, was approved. Such
distribution was paid on October 19, 1999. The General Partner also received a
distribution of $1,367 with respect to its 1% partnership interest.

ITEM 2.   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 March 1983
and March 1984. 15% of the $4.375 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 $4 million of the
remaining funds were used to acquire sites and build six restaurants.

The six 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 owns six properties that are under long-term lease to Del Taco
for restaurant operations (Del Taco, in turn, has subleased two of the
restaurants to Del Taco franchisees, one of which is affiliated with Del Taco).

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

</TABLE>


The partnership receives rental revenues equal to 12 percent of gross sales from
the restaurants. The partnership earned rental revenue of $141,151 during the
three month period ended September 30, 1999, which represents a decrease of $341
from 1998. The partnership earned rental revenue of $397,688 during the nine
month period ended September 30, 1999, which represents an increase of $5,665
from 1998. The changes in rental revenue between 1998 and 1999 are directly
attributable to changes in sales levels at the restaurants under lease.

</TABLE>

General and administrative costs for the nine month period ended September 30,
increased from 1998 to 1999 due to increased costs for accounting and income tax
return preparation.

For the three month period ended September 30, 1999, net income decreased $310
from 1998 to 1999 due to the decrease in revenues of $609 which was partially
offset by the $299 decrease in general and administrative expenses. For the nine
month period ended September 30, 1999, net income increased by $6,167 from 1998
to 1999 due to the increase in revenues of $6,270 which was partially offset by
the $103 increase in general and administrative expenses.

The General Partner does not believe the operations of the partnership will be
significantly impacted by the year 2000 software issue and does not believe the
year 2000 software issue will materially effect the partnerships operations,
financial position or cash flows.
