These weekly deals are great and all, but you still can’t beat free. Fortunately, Del Taco will hook you up with 2 of their tacos free when you sign up for their loyalty program called Del Yeah! Rewards. The free taco offer must be redeemed within 30 days of signing up so don’t sit on this one.

If you like hitting up Del Taco for breakfast, you’ll also get a free coffee with any purchase made before 11 a.m. with the rewards program. Why spend $4 – $8 for a beverage at Starbucks when you can get your caffeine fix for free?

But the benefits don’t end there. You’ll also begin generating loyalty points with each order. When you hit a certain threshold of points you’ll also be eligible for even more free food.

How is Del Taco different from its rivals?

Del Taco is different from Taco Bell and other Mexican cuisine fast food chains in part due to its capacity to innovate. Del Taco brilliantly incorporated all of the greatest American food favorites to satisfy the demand of its demographic, making its customers double in terms of population size. Del Taco is renowned for the pound-per-pound blocks of cheddar cheese it grates for its meals and the millions of fresh avocados each year.

Is there a secret menu at Del Taco?

There’s a wide range of secret food items at Del Taco that you won’t find on the regular menu. Looks like the secret is out. 

1. Go Bold – This is the favorite of the secret menu. “Go bold” means turning any menu item into a fast-food masterpiece with crinkle-cut fries and secret sauce. Ask for it during your next visit. 
2. Bun Taco – The Bun Taco is a hidden menu item that was once available on Del Taco’s standard menu. The Bun Taco is one of those secret menu items that used to be on the regular Del Taco menu. It’s essentially a Del Taco in the form of a burger. Skip the crunchy shell and replace it with a bun.
3. Cheese Burrito – Del Taco’s famous red sauce and cheese are included along with a dollop of sour cream for added creaminess.
   
4. The Green Bean Machine –  Despite the name, there are no actual green beans within the Green Bean Machine. Scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, black beans, and Del Taco’s green sauce make for a tasty morning burrito.
5. Chocolate Chip Cookie Shake – Del Taco has many dessert options, including amazing milkshakes.  Best paired with chocolate chip cookies for a sweeter experience.  
6. Orange Vanilla Milkshake – Del Talco’s summer 2014 Throwback Menu included this shake. Orange Shake was a hit, and consumers still want one even though it’s not on the menu. Blending vanilla shake and orange Fanta makes a milkshake variation of a dreamsicle. 
7. Combo Cup – Essentially, the Combo Cup is the same as the normal taco, excluding the Fritos bag. Instead, you’ll receive a cup topped with beef, beans, cheddar cheese, and red sauce.
