Del Taco Turns Up the Heat with New Flamin’ Hot Queso Lineup
The new Del Taco Flamin Hot Queso lineup brings spicy Cheetos flavor to loaded fries, roll-ups, chips, and epic burritos for a limited time.
Founded in 1964, Del Taco is renowned for its blend of Mexican-inspired favorites and American classics. Unlike typical quick-service chains, Del Taco prepares food fresh in open kitchens. They grill marinated chicken and carne asada, grating cheddar cheese from blocks, and slow-cooking beans from scratch. Its diverse menu spans crispy fish tacos, Epic Burritos, stuffed quesadillas, and signature crinkle-cut fries.
