“Our guests already love Del Taco’s Beer Battered Fish Tacos, and each year, look forward to the return of our popular crispy jumbo shrimp because they taste better than other fast food seafood options, like the ordinary fish sandwich,” said Barry Westrum, Del Taco’s Chief Marketing Officer. “Not only are we offering a variety of premium and delicious seafood items at an unbeatable value, but we are using fresh, higher-quality ingredients than what’s typically served at a drive-thru.”

Guests can also receive a coupon for a FREE Jumbo Shrimp Taco when they purchase a Jumbo Shrimp Taco, by signing up for Del Taco’s Raving Fan eClub at www.deltaco.com/jumboshrimp.**
