Garlicky Beef-Topped Fries

Del Taco is Serving Up New Buttery Garlic Parmesan Carne Asada Fries

Del Taco is giving fans two delicious new side dishes to try this season: the new Buttery Garlic Parmesan Fries and new Buttery Garlic Parmesan Carne Asada Fries.

Much like the new Buttery Garlic Parmesan Crispy Jumbo Shrimp Taco and new Buttery Garlic Parmesan Stuffed Quesadilla Jumbo Shrimp Taco created for the 2023 Lenten season, both of the new French fries feature the brand's new buttery garlic parmesan sauce. The classic Buttery Garlic Parmesan Fries start with Del Taco's signature Crinkle Cut Fries topped with the buttery garlic parmesan sauce and fresh cilantro. On the other hand, the new Buttery Garlic Parmesan Carne Asada Fries feature the same Crinkle Cut Fries, but topped with freshly grilled carne asada beef, buttery garlic parmesan sauce, and chopped cilantro.

Best of all, the brand is offering up its new Buttery Garlic Parmesan Dipping Sauce so you can enjoy the sauce on all your favorite Del Taco dishes.
