LAKE FOREST, Calif., March 16, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Del Taco, the nation’s second-largest Mexican quick service restaurant*, has announced yet another example of its Del Taco^® Better Mex™ brand promise through a collaboration with The Boston Beer Company.

The two brands have come together to offer award-winning Samuel Adams Boston Lager^® in Del Taco’s fish taco beer batter recipe because better beer makes better fish tacos. Each taco features a wild-caught Alaska Pollock fillet coated in beer batter and topped with crunchy shredded cabbage and house-made pico de gallo served with a fresh-cut lime wedge. Del Taco’s Crispy Fish Tacos are now available with two different sauces: the original style with secret sauce or with a creamy habanero sauce.

“At Del Taco, we have a culture that has a relentless desire to deliver BETTER guest experiences from the fresh and house-made ingredients to the outstanding variety and consistent innovation, not to mention the largest value menu around,” said Tim Hackbardt, Del Taco chief marketing officer. “Our crispy fish tacos live up to our Del Taco^® Better Mex™ standards with a combination of wild-caught Alaska Pollock and our special beer batter recipe.
