Tenant Overview

Del Taco has approximately 558 restaurants, of which more than half are company-owned and the rest are franchised.

Del Taco restaurants are mostly concentrated in the west; recently, the company is beginning to expand in the southeast.

Del Taco is normally compared with Taco Bell (YUM) and Chipotle (CMG). Del Taco offers food options at a variety of price points from value (eg.
