"The fast food chain stands out from others because it has a working kitchen and opts for fresh ingredients in its food. Ingredients like cheddar cheese are grated in-house rather than using the pre-grated stuff; beans, guacamole, and pico de gallo are all made from scratch, too. Chicken and beef patties are grilled right when you order. So, does that translate into the way the food tastes?"
"Don't be fooled by the close-up; the chipotle chicken roller is somewhat small - but that makes sense for the approachable price. It's part of the value menu, and you can get original, ranch, or chipotle variants. These flavorful morsels have a delicious chipotle sauce that envelopes each bite, ensuring a smoky, creamy profile makes it onto your chicken. It's simple, but the soft tortilla, smooth cheese, and well-made chicken result in a pleasant dish."
Del Taco has served tacos, tostadas, fries, and cheeseburgers since 1964 and operates 572 restaurants across 19 states, with more than half in California. A working kitchen and fresh-ingredient approach include in-house grated cheddar, scratch-made beans, guacamole, and pico de gallo, with chicken and beef patties grilled to order. Nineteen menu items across burritos, tacos, burgers, desserts, and more were sampled and ranked by flavor, texture, appearance, and value. The chipotle chicken roller is a small, value-menu item available in original, ranch, or chipotle variants, featuring a smoky, creamy chipotle sauce, soft tortilla, smooth cheese, and well-made chicken, though some tortilla portions lacked filling.
