Rainbow Vanilla Shakes

Del Taco Launched the 'Strawberry Pinata' Shake for the End of Summer

— August 5, 2022 — Lifestyle
Del Taco launched its final vanilla shake for the summer of 2022, the 'Strawberry Pinata.' This vanilla shake is immediately recognizable for its distinct milky-strawberry-colored base and its abundance of rainbow-colored M&M candies.

The shake itself is made in a similar fashion to Del Taco's strawberry shake, meaning it includes a vanilla ice cream base with strawberry flavoring and artificial colors. However, the Strawberry Pinata includes whole, real M&Ms mixed into it to add even more flavor.

Del Taco's Strawberry Pinata shake is available now throughout the month of August, 2022, at participating Del Taco locations while supplies last. The snack-like beverage retails for approximately $5 USD, though prices may vary by states and individual locations.
