The Untold Truth Of Del Taco

When it comes to fast food restaurants, it can be hard to stand out, but Del Taco made it happen. It might be the super low prices, or the mix of Mexican and American fare, or maybe a combination of both. Here's the untold truth of Del Taco.

Del Taco has been around for quite a while now. It was started by Ed Hackbarth and David Jameson, who opened the very first location in 1964 in Yermo, California. Their menu included tacos, tostadas, fries, and cheeseburgers. Opening day was a huge success: they made $169 in sales, which works out to about 900 tacos. Clearly, customers were pretty happy with what they had to offer.

That success continued, as the chain saw significant growth throughout the '70s. In 1977, there were 50 restaurants, and that doubled to 100 just a year later. New menu items were added, like the bun taco, quesadilla, and ice cream sundaes. In 1988, Del Taco got a whole lot bigger when it merged with the Naugles restaurant chain. Locations even started staying open 24/7, which was a pretty big deal in the 80s. The chain's 500th restaurant was opened in 2008, and it's just as popular today as ever.
