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.
