The Best Menu Items at Del Taco, According to a Dietitian

Cream Cheese Sheet Cake

This vegetarian option provides protein and fiber from the beans, while the cheese adds a bit of calcium and fat.

Crunchy Snack Taco

These simple tacos offer seasoned beef, lettuce, and cheese in a small shell or tortilla. While not the most exciting, they're relatively low in calories and fat.

Chicken Roller Burrito

A step up from the standard bean and cheese, this burrito adds lean protein from grilled chicken. Opt for the flour tortilla for some fiber.

Spicy Grilled Chicken Burrito

This option packs more flavor with spicy grilled chicken, but remains relatively moderate in calories and fat compared to other options.

Taco Salad with Fresh Guacamole and Grilled Chicken

Skip the seasoned beef and opt for the grilled chicken for a leaner protein source.  The fresh guacamole adds healthy fats and fiber.

Veggie California Burrito

A good source of fiber and antioxidants from the veggies, but be mindful of the creamy avocado sauce which can add calories and fat.

Grilled Chicken Soft Tacos

A healthier alternative to fried options, these tacos offer lean protein and some fiber from the tortillas.

Beef Nachos with Beans

Sharing a portion is key here. Nachos can be high in calories and fat, but adding beans provides some protein and fiber.
