Del Dorado Chicken Epic Burrito

October 3, 2025

Fast-food chain Del Taco is launching its new Del Dorado Chicken Menu, available nationwide. The menu features freshly grilled, marinated chicken, new Salsa Roja and reintroducing spicy Jack cheese.

Grilled fresh daily and soaked in a garlic, lime and pepper marinade, the new Del Dorado Chicken takes center stage across a variety of builds, including tacos, burritos, a quesadilla and a Crunchtada.

The Del Dorado Chicken Menu includes the Del Dorado Chicken Epic Burrito, with freshly grilled, marinated chicken loaded with Salsa Roja, slow-cooked beans made from scratch, shredded spicy Jack cheese, diced onions, shredded cabbage, diced tomato and sour cream all wrapped in an oversized flour tortilla. In Colorado, this item will be available as the Macho Burrito.

The menu also includes the Del Dorado Chicken Grilled Burrito, with reshly grilled, marinated chicken loaded with Salsa Roja, shredded spicy Jack cheese, cilantro lime rice, shredded cabbage, pico de gallo and sour cream, all wrapped in a flour tortilla and grilled; the Del Dorado Chicken Quesadilla, with freshly grilled, marinated chicken, shredded spicy Jack cheese and Salsa Roja, folded in a flour tortilla and flat-grilled, served with guacamole and sour cream for dipping; and the Del Dorado Chicken Crunchtada, a thick, crunchy corn shell layered with freshly grilled marinated chicken, Salsa Roja, spicy jack cheese, slow-cooked beans made from scratch, jalapenos, diced tomatoes and sour cream.

“At Del Taco, we’ve always been known for our freshly grilled chicken but we wanted to give our guests more of what they want. We developed a whole new line that delivers flavor on flavor by combining our already great tasting ingredients with our new Salsa Roja and Spicy Jack Cheese and gives our guests more of what they crave; a whole new level of flavor.” said Sarah McAloon, interim president of Del Taco. “We strive for quality, and the Del Dorado Chicken Menu delivers just that. Our new lineup proves you don’t have to choose between convenience and premium taste — you can have both at Del Taco.”

The Del Dorado Chicken Menu launch signals Del Taco’s answer to the growing demand for elevated QSR flavors, with food that layers flavor on flavor with quality ingredients, but with the convenience, speed and value Del Taco is known for.

The Del Dorado Chicken Menu is available through Nov. 11, 2025.
