For [National Drive-Thru Day](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drivethru-cams), [Del Taco](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/del-taco-1) is creating a Guac-Thru to share [fresh, free guacamole](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guac-flavors) 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.
