For a limited time, savory shredded beef birria is back by popular demand with ramen, street tacos, a quesadilla, and the NEW Birria Grilled Combo Burrito – all of these served with a warm, flavorful consomé. And after years of relentless requests to bring back the wildly popular Nacho Cheese, Del Taco is treating their fans to their famous Macho Nachos® and Nacho Cheese Fries served with Del’s nostalgic Nacho Cheese sauce to celebrate their 60th anniversary.

“It’s not every day we get to celebrate such a monumental anniversary, and what better way to honor the fans than bringing back one of the most popular retired items – Nacho Cheese,” said Sarah McAloon, Chief Administrative Officer at Del Taco. “We had to go big with the festivities, so we are also bringing back our popular Shredded Beef Birria and Funnel Cake Fries while staying true to our Del Taco® Better Mex® promise to offer bold, fresh flavors at affordable prices.”
