Del Taco's Micro Meal is a limited-time, bite-sized offering that shares a Micro Beef & Cheddar Burrito, seven to 10 crinkle-cut fries and a donut bite for just $2.99. This snack-sized meal, now available at participating locations, is perfect for replenishing mid-afternoon, late-night snacking and plenty of other in-between eating occasions.
“The Micro Meal lets guests enjoy a little bit of everything they love for a little bit of money,” said Sarah McAloon, interim president of Del Taco. Beyond delivering value and just the right balance of savory, salty and sweet flavors in a single portion box, the Micro Meal appeals to consumers practicing portion control or eating less as part of a GLP-1 lifestyle.
