HISTORY
1960S
A BRAVE NEW VENTURE
Ed Hackbarth and David Jameson opened the first Del Taco in Yermo, CA in 1964. With a menu of 19¢ tacos, tostadas, fries and 24¢ cheeseburgers, Del Taco brought in $169 in sales on its first day in business – the equivalent of 900 tacos. Things were off to a bold start.
1970S
GROWING RAPIDLY
Del Taco thrived during the 1970s. By 1977 there were 50 restaurants and by 1978 there were 100. The menu also grew, expanding to include items like the bun taco, quesadilla and ice cream sundaes.
1980S
DEL ACQUISITIONS
In 1988, Del Taco greatly increased in size and geographic reach by merging with Naugles restaurant chain. Del Taco also began to stay open all night to serve the growing needs of the new 24/7 lifestyle.
1990S
DARING TRANSITIONS
In the 90s Del Taco set the stage for extreme growth by launching a series of initiatives to improve the total customer experience and grow the brand’s image, including a new logo design.
2000S
GOING BOLD
By 2006, Del Taco nearly doubled in size and opened the 500th restaurant in 2008. An exciting new dessert was also introduced to the menu that has since become a fan favorite: Caramel Cheesecake Bites. Additionally, the Del Taco Super Special Show launched, treating our fans to a humorous take on our brand.
2010S
A FRESH APPROACH
By introducing The Del Taco, the Buck & Under Menu, and even more fresh ingredients like hand sliced avocado, Del Taco continues to be the leader in serving fresh, quality food for a value price. We take pride in chopping, grilling & shredding in our restaurants every day and celebrating the hardest working hands in fast food.
