In Short
Founded in 1964 in Barstow, Calif., the Del Taco brand has since grown to more than 300 locations nationwide. Each order is custom-made, using ingredients like lard-free beans, real cheddar cheese, fresh produce and marinated grilled meats. Signature menu items include Tacos Del Carbon (corn tortillas, grilled steak or chicken, Anaheim chili sauce, cilantro and diced onions), Crispy Fish Tacos, the Double Del Cheeseburger and the 1/2-pound bean and cheese burrito.
