Addressing negative guest feedback on changes made to products and ingredients over the past two years is an immediate opportunity under Project Sunrise. As a result, Del Taco is returning its Classic Burrito line to both the original preparation methods with the signature Del Taco open-end burrito fold as well as to the original product names. As a result of these changes, guests will see the return of: <ul> <li> Del Combo™ Burrito (formerly Combo Beef &amp; Bean) </li> <li> Del Classic Chicken Burrito (formerly Grilled Chicken) </li> <li> Del Beef™ Burrito (formerly Beef &amp; Cheddar) </li> <li> 8 Layer Veggie Burrito </li> </ul> Each burrito weighs in at over half a pound and is crafted with the quality ingredients and bold flavors that have long defined the unique Del Taco experience, reinforcing a renewed focus on consistency, flavor and the “Del Way” that guests fondly remember. Del Taco will celebrate the return with an exclusive offer for Del Yeah! Rewards members for any Classic Burrito, small fries and small drink for just $6 in the app or online from March 3 to 15. In addition, back by popular demand, Del Taco is expanding its flavor-forward lineup with the return of its Jack’d Up menu featuring the bold, creamy kick of Spicy Jack cheese that fans have been missing. The following items will be available beginning March 3: <ul> <li> Spicy Jack Quesadilla </li> <li> Spicy Jack Chicken Quesadilla </li> <li> Jack’d Up Bean, Rice &amp; Cheese Burrito </li> </ul> “Project Sunrise gives us the structure to move simultaneously with urgency and discipline,” said Noah Chillingworth, Chief Marketing Officer of Del Taco. “We’re taking action based on the feedback of our guests and implementing product and ingredient improvements for core items, better leveraging our five dayparts and expanding into new territories with innovation.” Del Taco plans continued unit growth with an expected seven new locations in 2026 including two units in South Carolina. Additional future expansion to new states includes already announced deals to open 10 locations in Indiana and five locations in Kentucky. The brand also is actively exploring the reopening of recently closed restaurants in Georgia.
