Del Taco is bringing back the early 2010s with its newest value offer.
The fast-food Mexican chain is launching the “Get A Lot For What You’ve Got” menu, featuring 11 items “starting at” $1.
The $1 item is the Value Bean and Cheese burrito, which comes with a choice of red or green sauce. But the value menu itself features several items geared toward budget consumers, including mini-shakes, snack tacos, rollers, street tacos and other options.
The menu includes:
$1 Value Bean and Cheese Burrito
Snack Taco
Mini Cheddar Quesadilla
Grilled Chicken Snacker
Bean & Cheese Cup
2-Piece Mini Cinnamon Churros
Mini Shakes, including Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry
Ranch Crispy Chicken Taco
Chicken Cheddar Rollers, in Ranch and Chipotle
Grilled Chicken Street Taco
3-Layer Queso Nachos
$1 Value Bean and Cheese Burrito
Snack Taco
Mini Cheddar Quesadilla
Grilled Chicken Snacker
Bean & Cheese Cup
2-Piece Mini Cinnamon Churros
Mini Shakes, including Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry
Ranch Crispy Chicken Taco
Chicken Cheddar Rollers, in Ranch and Chipotle
Grilled Chicken Street Taco
3-Layer Queso Nachos
The company also revealed a pair of bundled offers, including an $8.99 “Get A Lot Pack” including two Snack Tacos, two Grilled Chicken Snackers, two Value Bean and Cheese Burritos and a 16-ounce drink.
A smaller $6.99 Fresh deal features a Value Bean and Cheese Burrito, Grilled Chicken Snacker, Chicken Cheddar Roller, Crispy Chicken Taco and a 16-ounce drink.
The menu comes as restaurant chains deal with a host of consumer challenges, which has hurt traffic in recent years. Several chains are facing weak traffic as inflation eats into consumer spending. That has led to a value war that is as aggressive as anything since the Great Recession.
During that era, $1 menus became popular among restaurant chains, led by McDonald’s, as they sought to give consumers value for their spending. But inflation made such deals untenable for many brands as they could not profit by selling items for that price.
