Del Taco Through The Years
Del Taco takes on the label of the nation’s second-largest Mexican quick-service restaurant for a reason. In case you missed it, the chain was ranked one at USA Today’s 10 Best Reader’s Choice Awards. Del Taco beat the nine-year reigning chicken chain Chick-fil-A, which surprised many. But what’s Del Taco’s secret to beating a nine-year reigning fast food restaurant? That’s one question that only you can answer. All you need to do is to head over to a Del Taco near you and taste the difference.
Of course, they spent years creating their food through trial and error, ensuring that all of their customers would be satisfied. Let’s check out how Del Taco quietly impressed everyone by earning the nation’s second-largest Mexican quick-service restaurant title and the number-one spot from USA Today.
1960s
1964 marks the year when the duo Ed Hackbarth and David Jameson first opened a Del Taco store located in Yermo, California. People were drawn to the new Mexican restaurant in town’s menu as they serve 19¢ tacos, tostadas, fries, and 24¢ cheeseburgers. Their sales for the first day were $169 on the first day of business, which was pretty high during that time. Things were looking good after all, even as a newbie in the restaurant business.
1970s
Marking the year that Del Taco grew rapidly, they already had around 50 restaurants by 1977. It was only a year when they celebrated their 100th restaurant. With their business growing, of course, they’re serving up more food items on their menu, such as quesadillas and ice cream sundaes.
1980s
The decade of Del Acquisitions finally came, with the chain expanding geographically. Del Taco merged with the Naugles restaurant chain. As for fans, Del Taco finally opened at night to serve the needs of their customers in both day and night shifts. This fully supports the 24/7 lifestyle that many chains around the time are doing.
1990s
Now, for the year of daring transitions, Del Taco has introduced a new logo as they set the stage for more growth of the chain. They also launched a series of initiatives to improve the experience of their customers. Now that’s customer service right there! We’re sure that other restaurant chains were taking notes!
2000s
Del Taco is welcoming the 2000s with a bang as they started going bold with their menu items. In 2008, they finally opened their 500th restaurant. More exciting news awaits as they also introduced some of the fan-favorite desserts that we know of, such as Caramel Cheesecake Bites. It was also in this decade that Del Taco launched the Super Special Show to add humor to their branding.
2010s
2010 was probably the year in which people are now aware of their brand choices and become strict with their diets. Of course, Del Taco got the memo! They introduced some fan-favorite menu items, such as The Del Taco and the Buck & Under Menu with fresh ingredients. The chain has added even more fresh ingredients like avocado. With this, they became the leader in serving fresh quality food at a value price. It became a huge winning factor for the chain to land at number one on USA Today’s 10 Best Reader’s Choice Awards.

From The Club
We love a good and affordable meal that is good for our bodies, and we’re getting all that at Del Taco. The Del’s Mucho Meal$ creation is quite unbelievable since there are very few restaurants that give out wide options for their value meal sets. I can definitely say that Del Taco deserves to wear the crown. Not only are the meals affordable, but they’re also good for our health. Good job, Del Taco! 👏🏼
