Del Taco is kicking off the holiday season by adding Shredded Pork Tamales to its menu for a limited time. Available at more than 580 Del Taco locations nationwide, Del Taco’s Chief Marketing Officer Barry Westrum explains that the new offering allows customers to "spend more time with your families and less time in the kitchen."
Del Taco's new Shredded Pork Tamales are sold individually, in pairs, or in a handy pack of four. The tamales themselves are authentically made with seasoned shredded pork, stone-ground corn masa, and fire-roasted salsa, hand-wrapped in a corn husk. The tamales can be enjoyed on their own or smothered. Those who opt for smothered tamales can choose between a topping of red sauce, green sauce, sour cream, and cilantro, or a blend of chili, cheddar cheese, and sour cream.
