Del Taco promotes its menu of 20 items for sale for under $2 as way for customers to counter inflation.

The menu includes crispy chicken tacos for $1.49. The tacos include crispy chicken strips, shredded lettuce, cheddar cheese and a choice of ranch, habanero or chipotle sauce served on warm flour tortillas.

“Inflation has made it difficult for Americans to enjoy some of their favorite experiences without breaking the bank, so we’ve made it a point at Del Taco to continue to lead the fast food industry with everyday value, freshness and flavor guests can count on,” said Tim Hackbardt, chief marketing officer for Del Taco. “With inflation at a 40-year high, we like to say it’s the right menu at the right time.”

Del Taco also added to its menu a nachotada crunchtada featuring a crunchy corn shell, beans, seasoned beef, cheddar cheese, tomatoes, sour cream and jalapenos.

A new chicken, queso and guac crunchtada includes chicken, queso blanco and house-made guacamole.

The $3 breakfiesta includes two egg and cheese breakfast rollers and five hash brown sticks.

A strawberry pinata shake feature M&M candies.
