Del Taco is a chain of North American fast-food restaurants specializing in Mexican-style offerings as well as American foods such as burgers, fries and shakes.
The first Del Taco restaurant was founded in Barstow, California in 1964 by Ed Hackbarth and David Jameson. Success of the first restaurant lead to a second restaurant in Corona, California, this time with a drive-thru window. Originally named Casa Del Taco, founders later reduced the name to Del Taco. The chain now has more than 490 locations across the United States and is second only to Taco Bell in Mexican quick service restaurant market share. A privately holding named Sagittarius Brands, LLC, purchased Del Taco in 2006. Del Taco is led by president Shirlene Lopez, and has its headquarters in the city of Lake Forest, California. [1]
The chain is concentrated in the western part of the US, with some Midwest locations in the St. Louis, Missouri metropolitan area and Michigan, having three locations. The first Del Taco store in Illinois opened in November 2006 in Machesney Park. [2] Additionally, there is a Del Taco location on Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland, as well as other military installations.[3]
Del Taco merged with the Naugles restaurant chain in 1988 and absorbed some of the Naugles menu, including the "Macho" items.
The Del Taco menu
The current menu consists of a range of tacos, burritos, quesadillas, nachos, cheeseburgers, fries, fish tacos, shrimp tacos and breakfast burritos. Popular items include the Chicken Soft Taco, Macho Nachos®, Macho Burritos, Double Del Cheeseburger, World Famous Crinkle Cut Fries and Shakes. Del Taco is one of the few fast food chains that serves both Mexican food items and hamburgers.
Del Taco also serves a breakfast menu, including the Macho Bacon Egg and Cheese Burrito, Steak Egg and Cheese Burrito, Egg and Cheese Burrito, Bacon Egg and Cheese Quesadilla, and hash brown sticks. [4] Most locations serve breakfast from 11:00 PM to 11:00 AM, but the time breakfast service begins varies by location.
Most Del Taco locations are Open 24 Hours.
