In the past when I had a fifty mile commute would catch a 1/2lb Green Sauce Bean Burrito to keep me company on the way to work. The Bean Burrito is only 99 cents and was easy to eat while driving. Ordering any other kind of Del Taco Burrito was inviting a huge stain on shirt or tie. Del Taco is a big believer in Macho sizing that tends to overflow. Did not care too much for the other menu items. The hard tacos, to me, taste bland compared to their competitor Taco Bell.

Recently tried Del Taco's, Tacos Del Carbon, which literally translates to "Tacos of Carbon". Did not taste like rocks, was rather good for fast food presentation. Del Taco gives you a choice of steak or chicken at the same price of $1.49. The meat is chopped into small pieces and served on two warm corn tortillas. It really chafes my hide when a restaurant (Rubios) serves the tacos on cold tortillas right out of the package. The meat is garnished with chopped onion and cilantro.

What sets these tacos apart from others is the spicy red chili sauce the meat is mixed in. The sauce is zesty with a slight hint of heat. I like these tacos better than El Pollo Loco's Taco Al Carbon solely for the spicy chili sauce. The calories in the chicken taco is 170, 220 for the steak. I think the calorie count could be reduced by at least 60 if only one tortilla is eaten. I like the tacos and would order them again. I plan to stop and try their Fish Tacos soon, have heard good reports on them. Many Del Tacos are open 24 hours, a place you can always get your food fix.
