Part of what makes Del Taco such a popular chain restaurant is the size of its menu as well as the affordability of most menu items.
The taco section of the menu alone features a huge variety of different tacos. Of course, you have the classics, such as ‘The Del Taco’, which currently costs just $1.79. This crunchy snack is loaded with everything you love, such as seasoned beef, fresh house-grated cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, and crisp shredded lettuce, wrapped inside a large, crunchy corn shell. You only get a soft taco shell too.
If you’re in the mood for something smaller, you can opt for the crunchy or soft ‘Snack Taco’, which only costs $1.00 in most stores. This holds seasoned beef, cheddar cheese, crisp shredded lettuce, all inside in a crunchy (or soft) corn shell or warm flour tortilla.
If you’re feeling adventurous, we recommend the ‘Carne Asada Stuffed Quesadilla Taco’, currently only $3.49. This is one hearty taco, made with fresh house-grated cheddar cheese and Del Taco’s signature creamy Queso Blanco. These are grilled between two flour tortillas that are packed with freshly grilled carne asada, crispy shredded lettuce, fresh house-made guacamole, house-grated cheddar cheese, and a topping of fresh diced tomatoes.
You aren’t limited to tacos when you order from Del Taco! The Classic Burritos are also very popular, including the ‘Spicy Grilled Chicken Burrito’ for under $5.00. This popular menu item is freshly grilled with marinated chicken, slow-cooked beans, cilantro lime rice, tangy green sauce, and freshly grated cheddar cheese, wrapped in a warm flour tortilla, and is always made fresh and from scratch.
There are currently new items on the Epic Torta menu at Del Taco, including the ‘Chicken BLT’ and ‘Carne Asada & Queso’. Speaking of new items, tamale season is right around the corner, and there’s a new Cinnamon Roll Shake you need to try. These are all subject to change, so get in there quick before it’s too late!
Other menu sections at Del Taco include the Breakfast menu, and the Dessert & Shakes menu. You can choose from a long list of breakfast items, such as the Egg & Cheese Breakfast Taco for under $1.00 or the Epic Scrambler that comes with either sausage or bacon) for under $6.00. If you’re feeling particularly hungry, we recommend the Scrambler.
As for desserts, prices currently range from $1.00 to $4.29 in most states. We recommend the Caramel Cheesecake Bites, which comes with an option of two pieces or four pieces from under $2.00 to around $4.30. Perfect for when you want to treat your sweet tooth.
And, when it comes to shakes, all are $2.99 at the moment. You can choose from delights, including mini Shakes with vanilla, strawberry, or chocolate flavors.
We can’t forget Del Taco’s Quesadillas, Crunchtadas & Nachos. Right now, prices for Quesadillas start from just $0.59, Crunchtadas are $1.00, and nachos start from $1.00. With fresh house-grated cheddar cheese and Del Taco’s famous creamy Queso Blanco grilled between a couple of flour tortillas, the Snack Queso Quesadilla has been a hit since it was introduced to the menu a few years back.
You could also get a Fiesta Pack from under $9.00, which features six tacos and six burritos, or a Kid Loco meal for less than $4.00. This includes a burrito, burger, taco, or quesadilla with crinkle-cut fries and bottled water. Hot sauce and ketchup is also available at no extra cost.
You can order many of the items on Del Taco’s menu as part of a meal, which includes a drink and a side. The price of your meal will vary depending on the size of your added items.
Nutritional statistics vary significantly between different menu items at Del Taco. While some items are fairly low-calorie (the Taco Del Carbon, for example, is only about 120 calories, and the Crunchtada Tostada is only 330 calories), other items are much more calorific.
The 3-Piece Crispy Chicken & Fries Box Meal can go up to 1150 calories depending on your choice of drink, and the Epic Cali Bacon Burrito on its own comes to between 1020 and 1090 calories! For context, the average man would need to run at a pace of over 8 miles per hour for 60 minutes straight, without stopping or slowing down, to burn off that burrito.
The Chicken and Cheddar Quesadilla at Del Taco contains about as many calories as your average recommended meal size, at 540 calories. However, it also contains 1,250 mg of sodium, which is close to the 1,500 daily limit recommended by the American Heart Association.
If you’re looking for healthy meal options at Del Taco, you shouldn’t have too much trouble finding something nutritious and low-calorie, though. The Taco Salad with Grilled Chicken, for example, comes to just 420 calories, and while it’s still surprisingly high in sodium at 1,140 mg, it also contains 26 grams of protein and 16 grams of unsaturated (healthy) fats.
The 8-Layer Veggie Burrito is a slightly more calorific, but ultimately nutritionally beneficial choice. Not only is it suitable for vegetarians (and vegans if you ask for it without the cheese), but it contains 17 grams of protein, 10 grams of dietary fiber, and 11 grams of unsaturated fats. Again, like most items at fast food restaurants, it’s high in sodium, although it only contains 3 grams of sugar.
Basically, Del Taco’s menu provides quite a variety in terms of calories. You can find plenty of high-protein items on the menu, but watch out for the sodium levels.
If this breakdown of Del Taco’s menu has made you crave some delicious tacos and burritos, the good news is that there are a total of 592 Del Taco locations across the United States.
Most of Del Taco’s restaurants are in California, but you can also find Del Taco in 15 other states, including South Carolina, Florida, Michigan, Alabama, Colorado, Washington, Utah, Oregon, Ohio, Georgia, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Mississippi.
Earlier this year, Del Taco opened a Fresh Flex location in Orlando, Florida. This new menu had been long-anticipated as part of Del Taco’s initiative to increase scalability and flexibility in the franchise.
You can order your Del Taco food online via Postmates, GrubHub, DoorDash, and the Del taco website. However, some delivery options are only available in certain locations, and prices will vary.
Del Taco is the perfect restaurant for when you’re in the mood for affordable, generously-portioned Mexican food.
Thanks to the chain’s extensive and varied menu, there’s something to suit all preferences and dietary requirements at Del Taco, from beefy burritos to vegetarian and vegan options.
