Del Taco Restaurants, Inc. (NASDAQ: TACO), the nation’s second largest Mexican quick service restaurant*, is calling all seafood lovers back with the return of the greatly anticipated seasonal favorite Crispy Jumbo Shrimp just in time for the Lenten season.  In addition to Del Taco’s classic annual favorites the Crispy Jumbo Shrimp Burrito and Taco, this year guests can try the NEW Stuffed Quesadilla Jumbo Shrimp Taco (also available with fresh house-made guacamole) for a limited time only.

“We launched our Stuffed Quesadilla Tacos a few months ago and they have quickly become one of the most popular items on our menu thanks to the amazing flavor of our queso and fresh cheddar cheese quesadilla soft taco shell.
