Del Taco is taking an indulgent snack to an entirely new level by introducing the Churro Dipper Shake to the fast food chain's menu.
This sugary beverage combines the goodness of a milkshake with a crispy, cinnamon churro, making for a uniquely topped treat that's sure to satisfy anyone's appetite. The milkshake features a vanilla base with a chocolate syrup swirl and according to the brand, the churro's "ridges are the perfect tool for collecting and savoring the leftover chocolate sauce and ice cream that the straw couldn’t quite get.”
This particular offering arrives as part of Del Taco's new Late Night Bites Menu but is sure to offer a sugar rush that'll wake anyone up.
