Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Del Taco at none against Sardi's's shown. Del Taco also leads on ratings volume (43K vs 893) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). Sardi's's advantage is review sentiment (39% vs 10%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
