Del Taco Plays the Flavor Card in the Crispy Chicken Wars and Launches New Chocodays Beverages
June 09 2021 - 9:00AM
Del Taco Restaurants, Inc. (NASDAQ: TACO), the nation’s second
largest Mexican quick service restaurant*, is celebrating a year of
Crispy Chicken success with a Crispy Chicken summer menu featuring
one of the widest variety of items and flavors in the quick service
category. As opposed to many quick service brands attempting
to compete in the Crispy Chicken Wars by offering only one or two
Crispy Chicken Sandwiches, Del Taco will be fielding four Crispy
Chicken Tacos, three Epic Crispy Chicken Burritos, and a 3 Piece
Crispy Chicken & Fries Box with choice of various sauces.
“Our fans have loved many of the unique flavors that we’ve
introduced to our Crispy Chicken menu over the past year, from
fruit-forward and sweet to cool and zesty,” said Tim Hackbardt, Del
Taco’s Chief Marketing Officer. “We decided to bring out the best
of our best for the summer so our guests can experience crispy
chicken with amazing flavors for only $1 each for the Tacos and
only $5 each for our three amazing fast-casual sized Epic Burritos.
It will be hard for crispy chicken lovers to find another quick
service menu that has this combination of value and must-try
flavors anywhere in today’s Crispy Chicken Wars.”
