Introduction to Del Taco’s New Combo
Del Taco has introduced a new combo that is easy on the wallet. The Lake Forest chain’s new Micro Meal includes a miniature version of its Beef and Cheddar Burrito, seven to 10 crinkle-cut fries and a single Donut Bite for $2.99, according to a news release.
What’s in the Micro Meal?
The Micro Meal is a smaller portion of some of Del Taco’s popular items. The miniature Beef and Cheddar Burrito is a smaller version of the full-sized burrito, and the seven to 10 crinkle-cut fries are a smaller portion of the regular fries. The single Donut Bite is a smaller dessert option.
This combo is one of the cheapest from a major fast food chain to date, albeit one of the smallest. McDonald’s set the bar in 2024 with its $5 meal deal, which was beat by Checkers & Rally’s with some $4 combos, currently GloRilla’s $4 Unbeatable Meal Deal.
Comparison to Other Meals
My meal fit snuggly in a 5½-by-5-inch carton. I counted the fries. There were 13, but a couple of them were stubby. The usual portion of Donut Bites is four, by the way. The Micro Meal made a light lunch that didn’t ruin my dinner. Since I’m a fan of the full-sized Beef and Cheddar Burrito, it was nice to have a more guilt-free option.
Value for Money
Since these portions aren’t on the regular menu, it’s difficult to calculate the savings, but full portions of these items would cost more than $10. The total here was $3.25, including tax. Note, the Micro Meal doesn’t include a beverage.
Other Options at Del Taco
Del Taco’s other value combos are still around. They’re called El Big Boxes and provide heftier meals for $5, $7 or $9. Each includes three or four items such as burritos, fries or cheeseburgers, plus a 16-ounce soft drink. The chain’s current limited-time items feature Del Dorado Chicken — grilled, marinated chicken with Salsa Roja — and an Orange Cream Shake.
Limited-Time Offer
The Micro Meal won’t be around for long. It lasts through Nov. 23, the news release said. For more information, visit deltaco.com.
Conclusion
The Micro Meal from Del Taco is a great option for those looking for a light and affordable meal. With a miniature Beef and Cheddar Burrito, seven to 10 crinkle-cut fries, and a single Donut Bite, this combo is a great value for $2.99.
