American quick-service restaurant chain Del Taco has opened a new company-owned restaurant in Orlando, Florida.

Located at 3209 E Colonial Drive, the new venue is the company’s sixth establishment in Orlando.

Del Taco's ongoing expansion in Florida includes plans to launch six new locations in 2024.

The latest venue in Orange County introduces the brand's modernised Fresh Flex restaurant concept which features drive-through lanes and dedicated pick-up lockers for third-party delivery orders.

The new location's menu features tacos, Epic Burritos, beverages, quesadillas and crinkle-cut fries, and will also reintroduce Del Taco's beef birria offerings.

The birria-style shredded beef, slow-braised with a blend of spices and chile peppers, has been launched for a limited period.

Del Taco chief development officer Tim Linderman said: “In our 60th anniversary year, we’re proud of our ongoing expansion in Florida, bringing Del Taco’s fresh, craveable food at an unbeatable value to more neighbourhoods across the state.

“With the opening of another Del Taco in the Orlando metro area, we’re thrilled to deepen our connection with the community and look forward to welcoming both familiar faces and new guests to our newest location.”

In May 2024 Del Taco opened a new restaurant at 2410 Apalachee Parkway in the city of Tallahassee, Florida.
