Avocado-Themed Drive-Thrus

Del Taco's Guac-Thru Shares Fresh, Free Guacamole

— July 23, 2020 — Lifestyle
For National Drive-Thru Day, Del Taco is creating a Guac-Thru to share fresh, free guacamole with guests. Those who love the taste of avocados know that guacamole is usually a few dollars extra but Del Taco is treating people at its Guac-Thrus for one day only on Friday, July 24th. This experience promises to give people a taste of the restaurant's newly introduced Fresh Guacamole when they make a purchase.

Del Taco is encouraging guacamole lovers to bring any fast food item—like a burger and chicken or fish sandwiches—to their local Del Taco Guac-Thru location so that it can be topped with Fresh Guacamole. With these crossover creations, Del Taco is encouraging people to share their menu mashups on social media using the #GuacThru tag.
