    Del Taco – Beyond Meat with Vegan & Dairy-Free Options

    1
    By Alisa Fleming on January 31, 2023 Dining Out, Fast Food Restaurants

    Updated February 2023! Did you know that Del Taco is short for Delicious Taco? Despite the very specific name, this chain serves more than tacos. They have burritos, salads, and even fried chicken tenders on their fast food menu, with dairy-free options in every category. Del Taco is also one of the most vegan-friendly major fast food chains, with a few vegan items right on the menu, and even more available by custom order. Keep in mind, Del Taco’s allergen chart is often flawed, but we research to find the most accurate information.

    Dairy-Free Menu Guide to Del Taco with Custom Order Options, Vegan Options and Allergen Notes

    Del Taco Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Allergen Notes & Vegan Options

    Be aware of special order requirements in parentheses () next to the menu items, and see the Heads Up notes to help fill in the blanks.

    Grill Note: Del Taco uses a Grill Seasoning that contains milk, but they do not disclaim it as an ingredient in any items listed below. Nevertheless, make sure it isn’t used on your dairy-free order, and ask if a clean grill space can be used if you are concerned about potential cross contamination with milk.

    Fryer Note: Fried items at Del Taco (like their crispy chicken and French fries) may be cooked in shared fryers with items containing milk. Be sure to verify at your location if you are concerned about potential cross-contamination with allergens in the fryers.

    Other Allergen & Dietary Notes: All items listed below are made without egg, peanut, and tree nuts, unless otherwise noted. The Del Taco allergen chart lists all Beyond Meat items as containing peanuts, but then clarifies that none of their products contain peanuts or tree nuts. Beyond Meat is gluten-free and made without top allergens. But it is made with pea protein, which can be a cross-reactive allergen for some people with peanut allergies. Del Taco just wants the peanut allergic to be aware of this. As an unexpected heads up, the Ground Beef and Refried Beans at Del Taco contain both soy and wheat. For vegan options, see the Vegan Menu Guide at the bottom of this post.

    Breakfast

    • Hashbrown Sticks

    Heads Up! According to Del Taco, their Eggs now contain milk – perhaps in the natural flavors within the butter flavor.

    Tacos & Tostadas

    • Beyond Guacamole Taco
    • Beyond Taco (no cheese)
    • CrunchTada Tostada (no cheese)
    • Habanero Crispy Chicken Taco (no cheese) (contains egg in sauce)
    • Habanero Crispy Chicken Guac’d Up Taco (no cheese) (contains egg in sauce)
    • Snack Taco – Soft or Crunchy (no cheese)
    • The Del Taco – Soft or Crunchy (no cheese)

    Heads Up! The Grilled Chicken, Carne Asada, Crispy Shrimp (when available), and Beer Battered Crispy Fish do contain milk.

    Burritos

    • 8 Layer Veggie Burrito (no cheese, no sour cream)
    • Bean Burrito (no cheese)
    • Beyond 8 Layer Burrito (no cheese, no sour cream)
    • Del Beef Burrito (no cheese)
    • Del Combo Burrito (no cheese)
    • Epic Beyond Fresh Guacamole Burrito
    • Epic Combo Burrito (no cheese, no sour cream)
    • Epic Crispy Chicken & Guac Burrito (no dressing or sub dairy-free sauce)

    Heads Up! The Grilled Chicken, Carne Asada, Crispy Shrimp (when available), and Beer Battered Crispy Fish do contain milk. If you want the Epic Fresh Guacamole Burrito, but prefer meat, you can request the Seasoned Ground Beef. The Del Taco allergen chart lists the Beyond 8 Layer Burrito as milk-free, but you do have to order it without cheese and sour cream.

    Tamales (seasonal)

    • Red & Green Smothered Tamales (no sour cream)
    • Tamales

    Chicken

    • Crispy Chicken & Fries Box with Habanero Sauce (contains egg in sauce)

    • Double Del Burger (no cheese, sub ketchup for burger sauce)
    • Double Del Burger with Bacon (no cheese, sub ketchup for burger sauce)
    • Kids Hamburger

    Heads Up! The Carne Asada and Grilled Chicken at Del Taco do contain milk. If you aren’t a guac fan, you can ask to order the Crispy Chicken Torta (as modified above) with Bacon Pieces instead of guacamole. That’s essentially the Chicken BLT modified to be dairy-free by ingredients.

    Heads Up! The Carne Asada and Grilled Chicken at Del Taco do contain milk.

    • Del Scorcho Sauce
    • Green Sauce
    • Guacamole, House-Made
    • Ketchup
    • Mild Sauce

    Heads Up! The Burger Sauce, Chipotle Sauce, Ranch Sauce, and Secret Sauce at Del Taco do contain milk.

    Seasonings: The Hamburger, Lime, and Salsa Seasonings that they use in cooking are made without milk. As noted above, they have a “Grill Seasoning” that is made with milk, but it isn’t referenced as an ingredient in the items above.

    Desserts

    Heads Up! Sorry, Del Taco does not have any dairy-free desserts at this time. Their Churros and Donut Bites do contain milk.

    • Café Del Olla Hot Coffee
    • Café Del Olla Iced Coffee (no creamer / milk)
    • Chocolate Syrup
