Del Taco is back with its holiday-favorite Tamales for the festive season. Serving authentic pork-filled tamales for the last three years, the fast-food chain has constantly been winning the hearts of tamale fans across the country.
Available in stores starting November 17, the Tamales can be purchased for a starting price of $2.69. The limited-time festive item will be available in participating outlets across the country and can be ordered at your nearest store or via the chain's app or website for pick-up/delivery.
The fast food chain took to its website to announce the news, with Tim Hackbardt, Chief Marketing Officer, saying:
"The holidays are officially here, and we couldn’t be more excited to bring back our seasonal tamale menu.”
Tamales are one of the most anticipated items on the chain's menu and have sold out pretty quickly in previous years. Customers are advised to get their favorite limited-time Tamales from a nearby store at the earliest.

Founded in 1964, Del Taco Restaurants, Inc. is a chain of American fast food restaurants, headquartered in Lake Forest, California. It specializes in American-style Mexican cuisine and regular American fast food. The chain's menu has everything from tacos to burgers, fries to shakes, and much more.
Tamales have been a part of American holiday culture for a very long time, but making them is not as easy as it may seem. From preparing the filling, to wrapping the tamales and steaming them, the whole process may take multiple hours and you might still end up with something unedible if you are not good at it. But thanks to fast-food chains like Del Taco, everyone can now enjoy this holiday treat.
