Seafood Season Is Back at Del Taco, and Fans Are Hooked

Del Taco Restaurants, Inc. (NASDAQ:TACO), the nation's second leading Mexican quick service restaurant,* is celebrating seafood season by offering guests a variety of craveable menu items that are sure to have seafood fans hooked! Guests can choose between Del Taco's year-round favorite, Beer Battered Fish Tacos, made with hand-cut, sustainable, wild-caught Alaska Pollock in a crispy beer batter, or Del Taco's popular Jumbo Shrimp Tacos, back for a limited time. Available at Del Taco restaurants nationwide starting today, seafood lovers can enjoy two Beer Battered Fish Tacos for just $4, and two Jumbo Shrimp Tacos for just $5.**

"Our guests already love Del Taco's Beer Battered Fish Tacos, and each year, look forward to the return of our popular crispy jumbo shrimp because they taste better than other fast food seafood options, like the ordinary fish sandwich," said Barry Westrum, Del Taco's Chief Marketing Officer. "Not only are we offering a variety of premium and delicious seafood items at an unbeatable value, but we are using fresh, higher-quality ingredients than what's typically served at a drive-thru."

Guests can also receive a coupon for a FREE Jumbo Shrimp Taco when they purchase a Jumbo Shrimp Taco, by signing up for Del Taco's Raving Fan eClub at www.deltaco.com/jumboshrimp.**
