Del Taco, the second-largest Mexican quick-service restaurant celebrates summer by bringing back a selection of fan favorites. For a limited time, the savory shredded Beef Birria returns by popular demand, featured in ramen, street tacos, a quesadilla, and the new Birria Grilled Combo Burrito — all served with a warm, flavorful consomé. Additionally, in honor of their 60th anniversary, Del Taco is reintroducing their famous Macho Nachos and Nacho Cheese Fries, complete with the well-loved Nacho Cheese sauce.

Initially launched last fall, Del Taco’s Birria menu items quickly sold out as fans embraced the unique Mexican street food flavors. Braised for several hours with traditional spices and chile peppers, the shredded beef lineup includes:

  • 2 Shredded Beef Birria Tacos + Consomé Dip: These tacos feature fresh house-grated cheddar cheese melted between two grilled corn tortillas, filled with tender shredded beef birria, and topped with diced onions and chopped cilantro. They come with two fresh-cut lime wedges and a side of flavorful consomé for dipping.
  • Shredded Beef Birria Quesadilla + Consomé Dip: This quesadilla includes savory shredded beef birria, fresh house-grated cheddar cheese, and tangy green sauce folded into a flour tortilla and flat-grilled to perfection. Served with a side of consomé for dipping.
  • Shredded Beef Birria Ramen: A hearty serving of signature beef broth consomé with fresh wavy ramen noodles, topped with tender shredded beef birria, diced onions, chopped cilantro, and a fresh-cut lime wedge.
  • New Shredded Beef Birria Grilled Combo Burrito + Consomé Dip: This burrito combines tender shredded beef birria, slow-cooked beans made from scratch, fresh house-grated cheddar cheese, tangy green sauce, diced onions, and chopped cilantro, all wrapped in a warm flour tortilla and flat-grilled to perfection.

From The Club

I’m really excited for Del Taco‘s summer menu this year as they’re one of the fast food chains I’m looking forward to release new items each year. They may not be highlighting new items but I’m already satisfied that they brought back Beef Birria, Macho Nachos and Nacho Cheese Fries. Those are already summer-worthy snacks for me!
