Del Taco Menu Prices 2026: Tacos, Burritos, Crinkle-Cut Fries & Shakes

The Del Taco — the chain's signature taco — is about $2.19 nationally as of May 2026, with the smaller Snack Taco at just $1.49. Burritos range from a $2.49 Bean & Cheese to the loaded Epic burritos at $7.49. The popular Del Combo Meal (two tacos, a Del Beef Burrito, fries and a drink) is about $7.99. Del Taco remains one of the most affordable Mexican-American QSRs, with a deep value menu of items under $2.50.

Del Taco's distinguishing feature is that it blends Mexican-inspired items with American fast-food classics on the same menu — most notably crinkle-cut fries ($2.49), cheeseburgers ($3.49) and hand-blended shakes ($3.99), which Taco Bell doesn't offer. It also leans into freshly grilled chicken and carne asada and slow-cooked beans. So while Taco Bell is purely Mexican-inspired, Del Taco lets you order tacos and a cheeseburger in the same trip — a defining quirk of the brand.

Crinkle-cut fries have been part of Del Taco since its early days as a California drive-up, where blending Mexican food with American fast-food staples was the whole concept. The crinkle-cut fries ($2.49) are now a signature item, and the chain builds several menu items around them — including Del Taco Fries with queso ($3.99) and Loaded Cali Fries ($5.49) topped with carne asada, guacamole and pico. The fries set Del Taco apart from nearly every other Mexican QSR.

The Del Combo Meal ($7.99) is Del Taco's classic value combo and one of its most popular orders. It includes two Del Tacos, a Del Beef Burrito, crinkle-cut fries and a drink — a full meal that mixes the chain's signature taco, a staple burrito and the signature fries in one affordable bundle. It's the go-to order for getting a representative taste of the menu at a value price.

The Epic burritos ($7.49) are Del Taco's oversized, loaded premium burritos. Versions include the Epic Cali Bacon Guac Burrito (carne asada or chicken with crinkle-cut fries, bacon, guacamole and cheese) and the Epic Original Mex Burrito (carne asada or chicken with rice, beans, cheese and pico). They're substantially larger than the standard Del Beef or Combo burritos and are the chain's answer to the big-burrito category. As a combo with fries and a drink they run about $10.49.

Yes — Del Taco is relatively strong for a Mexican QSR. Vegetarian items include the Bean & Cheese Burrito ($2.49), the value version ($1.99), the Cheese Quesadilla ($3.99), crinkle-cut fries ($2.49), churros, shakes and cheesecake bites. The slow-cooked beans are a vegetarian staple, and many items can be ordered without meat. Note that beans and fries are prepared in shared equipment; vegans should confirm preparation with the location.

As of 2026 Del Taco operates around 600 locations, making it the second-largest Mexican-American fast-food chain after Taco Bell. Locations are concentrated in the West and Southwest — California (its home state) has by far the most, with significant presence in Nevada, Arizona and the broader West, plus growing markets elsewhere. Founded in Yermo, California in 1964, the chain is now owned by Jack in the Box. Use the locator at deltaco.com for the nearest store.

Del Taco's hand-blended Classic Shakes ($3.99 medium, $2.49 mini) come in vanilla, chocolate and strawberry and are part of the chain's American fast-food side — most Mexican QSRs don't offer shakes at all. They're a genuine point of differentiation and a popular dessert add-on alongside the churros ($1.99) and caramel cheesecake bites ($2.99). The mini shake on the value menu is an affordable way to add a dessert to any order.
