Get More For Less With Del Taco’s New Budget Menu

At a time of skyrocketing prices in the market, it is hard to find quality food that would fill our stomachs. We often resort to microwavable and instant affordable meals that are unhealthy in the long run. But what if we tell you that Del Taco offers quality meals at a wallet-friendly price? 

Del Taco, one of the nation’s largest Mexican-style fast food restaurants, recently launched their new Del’s Real Deal$ menu, providing guests with different varieties of freshly made food priced at $2 and under.

  • Bean & Cheese Burrito – A burrito filled with slow-cooked beans and fresh-house grated cheese, with a choice of zesty red or tangy green sauce, all wrapped in a warm tortilla.
  • Chicken Cheddar Rollers – Includes a grilled marinated chicken, fresh-house grated cheddar cheese, and a choice of ranch sauce, habanero sauce, or chipotle if you fancy a spicy roll. It is served in a warm tortilla wrapper. 
  • Crispy Chicken Tacos – Made with a crispy chicken strip, shredded lettuce, and fresh-house grated cheddar cheese with a choice of ranch sauce, habanero sauce, or chipotle sauce, all wrapped in a warm tortilla.

What Makes Del Taco’s Value Meals Special?

Imagine getting a fresh, home-cooked-style meal at an affordable price! That’s what makes Del Taco unique. Del Taco prides themselves on freshly made and quality ingredients prepared in their kitchens. Most of their ingredients are made from scratch, and even their rich line of sauces, which they smother on their wraps and burritos, are their signature recipes. 

Sheena Dougher, Head of Marketing at Del Taco, said that the inspiration behind the Del’s Real Deal$ campaign is that real food made with real ingredients is rare nowadays. They believed that the value meals would attract more guests to try out their food as it highlights their commitment to their branding.

From The Club

Fast food value meals have always been my go-to order during my busy weeks. They may taste good during the first few days, but it gets boring and unhealthy over time, too. Luckily, Del Taco launched their Del’s Real Deal$ menu, where I get to enjoy home-cooked style meals at an affordable price! Looking at my planner, it looks like I’ll be having a busy week next week, but at least I can look forward to a fresh Del Taco meal!
