DEL Taco diners have fumed "you've ruined 2025!" after the chain added two new menu items - but skipped a fan favorite burrito. The controversial changes come as part of the Mexican fast food chain's latest upheaval to its Del's Real Deal$ menu. The first new addition is a Bean, Rice and Cheese Burrito - which comes with slow-cooked beans, cilantro lime rice, grated cheddar cheese and red sauce, all wrapped in a warm flour tortilla.
And also joining the updated selection is a Chicken Chipotle Burrito - comprised of grilled chicken, beans, rice, sour cream and a chipotle sauce. Both snacks can be picked up for less than $3 each, the company announced on Facebook . But users were quick to take to the comments - noting that the beloved Spicy Chicken Burrito had not been brought back.

The dragon fruit and blueberry beverage can be ordered with Sprite, Minute Maid Lemonade, or a vanilla shake. Announcing the new items, Del Taco President Tom Rose said: "Del Taco has always been committed to delivering bold flavors and exceptional value, and the addition of our two new burritos to our Del’s Real Deal$(TM) menu and Del’s Bundles continue that tradition at an unbeatable price. "Not to mention, our new Dragon Fruit Blueberry Poppers beverages are packed with flavor too.

Del Taco's menu refresh comes just a few months after it launched two other new products - a Chipotle Carne Asada Steak Burrito and the Dirty Del, Dr. Pepper topped with vanilla shake mix and a slice of lime.
Del Taco was founded in California in 1964 by Ed Hackbarth and David Jameson. It now has approximately 600 branches across the US..
