Starting at $5, the Epic Queso Burrito features fresh grilled chicken, Del Taco’s crinkle-cut fries, queso blanco, hand-grated cheddar cheese and handmade pico de gallo, while the Epic Chipotle Chicken Avocado Burrito includes fresh grilled chicken, hand-sliced avocado, chipotle sauce, handmade pico de gallo, fresca lime rice and seasoned black beans. Both are served wrapped in a warm oversized flour tortilla.

“No quick-serve restaurant offers the combination of fresh food and value like Del Taco,” said Barry Westrum, Del Taco’s chief marketing officer, in a statement. “With ingredients like fresh grilled chicken, creamy Queso Blanco and hand-sliced avocado, we’re essentially selling a $10 burrito for about five bucks, and Del Taco is able to offer that value with the speed of a drive-thru.”

In celebration of the new burritos, guests who purchase any of the chain’s Epic Burritos will also receive a free medium drink from now until Nov. 5.
