Here’s a Taco Tuesday story you probably weren’t expecting.
Del Taco is offering a Fried Pickle Taco. It’s a breaded dill pickle spear served with cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and ranch sauce in a flour tortilla.
The Lake Forest-based chain launched it Tuesday, July 15 in observance of National Pickle Month, according to a news release.
It’s available for about $1.99 while supplies last at select locations in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura counties, the news release said.
The Fried Pickle Taco was somewhat under the radar when we went in search of it on Tuesday morning. It wasn’t prominently displayed on the Del Taco website, and signage wasn’t up yet when we arrived at our local drive-thru in Redlands. But we found it at the kiosk inside under tacos.
There were several upsell options available for 50 cents or a dollar more, including guac and jalapeños. We ordered one $1.99 version but decided to live large. We ordered a second with the “Go Bold” option, fries and a secret sauce for $1, as well as the “Go Cool” option, sour cream for 50 cents.
The warm pickle was almost buried with shredded cheese but we could still taste the dill.
Adding crinkle-cut fries and sour cream was almost too much for one tortilla on the second taco, and the pickle on the bottom wasn’t even visible.
With a $2.29 iced coffee, the order came to $8.45, including tax.
Del Taco has several other limited-time offers going on, including carnitas in tacos, burritos, street tacos and quesadillas. You can get Funnel Cake Fries for dessert, and red-white-and-blue Independence Poppers are still available.
