Del Taco set to open 5 locations in the Triangle (Raleigh: living in, restaurants)

[Tarheelhombre]

Del Taco, the nation’s second-largest Mexican fast food restaurant chain, signed a deal with Ram Restaurants to open five locations in the Raleigh-Durham area. These would be the chain’s first foray into the North Carolina market. The company has not announced when these restaurants will open.

NOT the "first foray into the NC market". We had them back in the 80s/90s; there was one at Northgate Mall for sure.

I wondered about DT. They have opened many stores in metro Atlanta, where they used to be in the 1990s before the brand fell on hard times. You can read the sad history of east coast DT at Sky City: Retail History: Finally Del Taco Came Back.

Del Taco is one of the best fast food Mexican restaurants. Love their fries and grilled chicken soft tacos.

Do they have hard tacos?

Along with In-N-Out they were my go to spots for fast food while living in CA.

Yup. I used to go to that one quite a bit back in the day.
