LAKE FOREST, Calif., May 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Del Taco, the nation’s second-largest Mexican quick service restaurant,* is bringing back a variety of fan favorites to celebrate summer! For a limited time, savory shredded beef birria is back by popular demand with ramen, street tacos, a quesadilla, and the NEW Birria Grilled Combo Burrito – all of these served with a warm, flavorful consomé.
