Description
At Del Taco, all menu items
taste better because they are
made to order with fresh
ingredients including cheddar
cheese grated from 40-pound
blocks, handmade pico de
gallo salsa, lard-free beans
slow-cooked from scratch, and
marinated chicken grilled in the
restaurant. The menu includes
classic Mexican dishes such as
tacos, burritos, quesadillas and
nachos as well as American
favorites including hamburgers,
crinkle-cut fries and shakes.
Last year, Del Taco announced
a rebranding effort and the
“UnFreshing Believable” advertising campaign to communicate
the lengths the company goes
to in order to deliver quality,
made-to-order menu items
created with freshly-prepared
ingredients. Del Taco also serves
breakfast featuring a full line
of breakfast burritos. With
consistently strong sales and
growth capabilities, Del Taco
has grown to more than 547
restaurants in 17 states.
