"Rather than simply flavoring its milkshake with a strawberry extract or powder, Del Taco includes actual chunks of strawberry in the beverage. As noted on its website, its real strawberry milkshake consists of its vanilla shake and real strawberry topping, which is made up of strawberries, sugar, modified corn starch, red coloring, and cellulose gum, the latter of which is a commonly-used thickener."
"Del Taco may have gone bankrupt trying to take down Taco Bell, but the filing didn't take it out completely and its milkshakes continue to win over fans. In fact, one Reddit user joked that the chain's selection of shakes "ruined" all other options. "I can't get them anywhere else anymore. Del Taco's are just too good," they wrote. Meanwhile, many responders pointed specifically to the real strawberry milkshake, saying, "Strawberry is the GOAT," and, "strawberry shakes were always my favorite.""
Del Taco offers hand-blended milkshakes in classic flavors including vanilla, chocolate, and a real strawberry option that uses actual strawberry topping rather than just flavoring. The real strawberry topping contains strawberries, sugar, modified corn starch, red coloring, and cellulose gum, contributing texture and sweetness. The strawberry pieces are frozen and halved according to employee remarks, and are stored frozen prior to use. The milkshake typically costs around $6 depending on location and has generated enthusiastic customer reactions, with many fans on social media calling the strawberry shake their favorite.
