Del Taco Brings Back Bun Taco to Celebrate 50 Years

Del Taco is celebrating their 50th anniversary by bringing back a trio of old menu items as the limited-time Throwback Classics Menu.

Among the returning items is the Bun Taco, a hybrid of a taco and burger similar to Taco Bell's discontinued Bell Beefer. The other two items are the Small Taco Salad and Orange Shake.

The Bun Taco features seasoned ground beef, hand-grated cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, and a slice of tomato on a sesame seed bun.

The Small Taco Salad comes with seasoned ground beef, hand-grated cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, and Del Taco's secret sauce, on a bed of lettuce and tortilla chips.

The Orange Shake is a creamy orange and vanilla milkshake topped with whipped cream.

Fans of the Bun Taco will be happy to know, that it's been an off-menu fixture that's been available for some time (if you knew to order it) and can still be ordered after the Throwback Classics Menu ends its run.

Looks like a gulldarn sloppy joe tah meh.

 

[sixteen-bit]

couldn't be worse than the waffle taco

 

[DoktorEvil]

It looks exactly how it would taste: blerg

 

[Liquidsnake]

Im Down.

 

[TrueGrime]

I wonder if it tastes like a sloppy joe.

 

[Nori Chan]

I can't believe I tried it. That shit literally tasted like fucking plastic.

 

[see5harp]

Chicken Soft Taco for $.99 is the only thing I fucks with at Del Tizzie.

 

[Entropia]

Yeah looks like a sloppy joe. I'd try it though.

 

[woodypop]

I think Taco Bell had something similar ages ago.

 

[besada]

Taco Bueno has these.

My local Del Taco closed down, sadly. No more chicken burritos.

Yes, I think Del Taco has been forced to retreat from a lot of markets.

 

[theWB27]

Del Taco is pretty gross on the whole. At least their breakfast burritos are a little redeeming.

Not even the chilli fries?

 

[Anoregon]

The only time I've ever had del taco was when I was in Vegas because it was across from the Rio where I was staying and was by far the cheapest readily available food option.

 

[daveo42]

Looks like a gulldarn sloppy joe tah meh.

Exactly what I thought. Looks pretty tasty, but it's almost guaranteed to be a messy meal.

 

[Zoe]

I'm still hoping to try a loosemeat sandwich one day.

 

[bengraven]

Holy fuck, I've been fiending a Taco John's taco burger in over 7 years.

I will be eating a lot of these to make up for it.

 

[Coffee Dog]

Del taco is okay for a fast food taco joint. Happy we still have them out here in utah, though betos/rancheritos is stil the GOAT when it comes to burritos.

Oh lord, don't post something like that without warning. Now I'm hungry as hell.

 

[Parallax]

disgusting ass del taco.

their breakfast items were their only redemption

There aren't any Del Taco's in Texas unfortunately. They used to be here about 30 years ago, but Taco Bell put them all out of business. I think Del Taco's offerings are way better.

On the contrary, there are two in the Austin area.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Its like an Unholy Bastardization of a torta.

 

[see5harp]

Nope. Chicken Soft Taco all day ere day.

 

[phaonaut]

We use to have one in STL, I would get their nachos every time.

 

[FinKL]

This out of the blue throwback and the fact that they are available now is awesome! Ironically, Del Taco Burgers are one of my favorite fast food burgers.

Definitely trying this for lunch

Wuh? Since When!? So much has changed since I moved away 3 years ago. Now they have In-N-OUt and shit
edit: Oh, they are in Cedar Park and Georgetown. May as well be in another state. I went to the In-N-Out off Airport and 1-35 last month. Delish

Houston and San Antonio too. Didn't bother checking DFW.

edit: Oh, they are in Cedar Park and Georgetown. May as well be in another state.

Pfft. Wuss.

 

[dallow_bg]

They're in DFW too.

The only thing I like is their hot sauce packet which is actually not bad.

 

[WordAssassin]

My dad has long told the legend of the Bell Beefer, but it was before my time. This looks and sounds basically exactly the same, so I will try it, FOR MY FATHERRRR

 

[Purple Cheeto]

The real news here is that orange shake. I will consume one of those.

Del Taco is only really eatable when you're really drunk or really stoned.

 

[DizzyCaffeine]

Del Taco fries are in the top 3 tier of fast food french fries.

There's a bunch around the DFW suburbs, got one in Frisco, Mckinney, etc.

 

[Schlep]

They're in DFW too.

There used to be one over in Watauga, but it shut down unfortunately. Now the only time I can get my fix is when I go to work in California.

Their breakfast burritos are good and their cheap ass burrito is good. Can't stand anything else from this place, but those two combined with Cherry Coke on tap are enough for me.

bakers has thisssssssss, since foeva

Bakers??? Barf

 

[Lambtron]

Holy fuck, I've been fiending a Taco John's taco burger in over 7 years.

But there's no Potato Oles, so it won't make up for it.

I make taco burgers at home all the time. They're great.

 

[RangersFan]

del taco is BK level of shit fast food.

 

[Desperado]

I thought we were supposed to think outside the bun?

 

[MWCShay]

Del Taco was our go to drunk food, greasy as hell and cheap. I probably ate a couple 100 chicken soft tacos between 06 and 07. Taco Bueno, Taco Mayo, and Taco Cabana are all better fast food taco places.

 

[kulapik]

"Del Taco, so much food, not much money"

 

[oc]

Bakers??? Barf

their tacos and fries are on point.. come on mang

 

[Goro Majima]

"Not sure if sloppy joe or taco but that looks so good"

 

[nintendork666]

Gross

 

[perfectchaos007]

their tacos and fries are on point.. come on mang

Tommy's fries and burgers have the same concept, but they are all drenched in chili. I would post pics, but some gafers may claim to have suffered cardiac arrest at the sight of these entrees
