Crispy Shrimp Menu Items Back by Popular Demand for a Limited Time


LAKE FOREST, CA--(Marketwired - Feb 4, 2014) - Back by popular demand, beginning Feb. 6 Del Taco will offer its crispy shrimp in either a taco or burrito for a limited time. Both Del Taco's Crispy Shrimp Taco and Burrito feature crispy golden shrimp, fresh cabbage, freshly chopped pico de gallo salsa and Del Taco's secret sauce. The burrito adds lime rice and the tacos are served with a fresh lime wedge. For a limited time, guests can purchase two Crispy Shrimp Tacos for $4 and two guest-favorite Beer Battered Fish Tacos for $3.50.

"Our fans constantly tell us how much they enjoy our Crispy Golden Shrimp Tacos and Burritos, and we're happy to bring these items back to satisfy their cravings," said John Cappasola, the company's executive vice president and chief brand officer. "With fresh ingredients prepared in-restaurant, it's easy to see why these are two of our most popular menu items."

Topped with fresh pico de gallo salsa, which is prepared in Del Taco restaurants daily, Crispy Shrimp Tacos and Burritos align with Del Taco's goal to provide guests quality, made-to-order menu items with freshly-prepared ingredients.
