Why Does Del Taco Sell Burgers and Fries?

Because Del Taco has long mixed Mexican inspired food with American fast food, so a group can order tacos, cheeseburgers and crinkle cut fries in one stop.

Short answer: Del Taco sells burgers, crinkle cut fries and shakes because its menu has long combined Mexican inspired items with American fast food. That lets families and groups order tacos and burgers from one drive thru, and it sets Del Taco apart from rivals like Taco Bell, which does not sell burgers.

Two menus in one

Del Taco grew up in Southern California, where burger stands and taco stands were everywhere. Selling both helped it compete with burger chains as well as taco chains.
