Del Taco

Established during the 1960s, Del Taco sells burgers and fries but is actually a Mexican inspired restaurant. Del Taco is mostly famous in the West and Southwest areas, they currently have 564 restaurants. The less popular locations are supposedly being closed during 2020. But that hasn’t stopped Del Taco from seeking further opportunities to the franchise. Levy Acquisition purchased them back in 2015 which means they are now a public company. They still make a fair amount of profits, besides their developmental plans that unfortunately failed.
