Del Taco Restaurants Inc. (NASDAQ: TACO), first opened its doors in 1964 serving freshly prepared Mexican and American favorites. With high quality ingredients such as fresh sliced avocado, freshly grated cheddar cheese, hand-made salsa, slow cooked lard-free beans and carne asada freshly-grilled in house, Del Taco is committed to serving quality, fresh, and delicious food at a great value.
Today, 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 with the ticker symbol of TACO. This transition into a public company poises Del Taco Restaurants Inc. for tremendous growth as a strong national competitor and a continued leader in the QSR+ space.
Are you looking to combine your professional strengths and experience with a brand that can deliver? Del Taco offers the opportunity to grow your business to the size you desire. Our leadership team, brand legacy and business model combine to help you achieve your business goals.
The MQSR category is one of the fastest growing industry segments, and Del Taco attracts a broad customer base across age groups, income levels and demographics, by providing popular Mexican menu items such as tacos, burritos and quesadillas with American favorites like hamburgers, crinkle cut fries and shakes.
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. Consumers gravitate to “better” quick-service restaurants, which has transformed the industry and has created a subset of “QSR-Plus”
By offering a Buck and Under Menu with an unmatched variety of items that start as low as 59 cents, Del Taco was named “Best Value for Your Money” by the nation’s leading consumer review publication. Del Taco has also seen sales growth through the introduction of more premium menu options and healthier items, such as the addition of fresh sliced avocado and handcrafted Ensaladas.
With a menu featuring made-to-order items made with fresh ingredients, an unbeatable Buck and Under value menu and a focus on product innovation, Del Taco successfully meets guests’ evolving tastes and demands for quality food served at a great value.
