FOOD Site Location Assistance Opportunity Description Del Taco is the second largest quick-service restaurant concept in the Mexican category with nearly 550 restaurants in 16 states. In June of 2015, Del Taco was acquired by Levy Acquisition Corp. and began being traded on the NASDAQ. This transition into a public company poises Del Taco Restaurants Inc. for tremendous growth as well as a strong national competitor and a continued leader in the QSR+ space. Del Taco Restaurants Inc. serves freshly prepared Mexican and American favorites made with high quality ingredients such as fresh sliced avocado, hand-made salsa, slow cooked beans and carne asada grilled in-house. Del Taco is committed to serving quality, fresh, and delicious food at a great value. As a part of one of the fastest growing industry segments, Del Taco attracts a broad customer base. What sets Del Taco apart from the competition is that the brand delivers fresh, quality food on par with the Fast Casual segment but served at the speed and price of a Quick Service Restaurant.
