Del Taco

Budget burrito franchise

Del Taco is an American fast-food chain specializing in Mexican-inspired items alongside burgers and fries.

Founded in California in 1964, it occupies a middle ground between traditional burger joints and Mexican fast food, known for cheap tacos and late-night hours: We hit Del Taco after the bars closed.
