Del Taco is launching the phased reopening of 17 Del Taco corporate-owned locations across the Denver area. The rollout began June 21 and will continue throughout the next several months, according to a press release.

The highly anticipated return to the area aligns with a broader effort to reconnect with longtime fans through direct Del Taco corporate ownership and elevated service. While 17 locations are scheduled to reopen, one former restaurant, located at 3465 N. Salida St., will remain closed.

Guests can expected refreshed stores, including digital ordering kiosks at each newly reopened location to improve speed and convenience.

For longtime fans, the return of the iconic Macho Burrito lineup is big news — each oversized burrito is packed with bold flavor, featuring combinations of seasoned beef, marinated chicken, or carne asada steak with slow-cooked beans, cheddar cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, onions, two zesty sauces and sour cream. For guests craving value without compromising variety, Del Taco's new El Big Boxes offer tiered meal bundles starting at just $5 — delivering fan favorites in craveable combos built for big appetites.

"We're thrilled to reestablish our presence in the Denver and Colorado Springs communities that have supported Del Taco for more than two decades," Sarah McAloon, interim president of Del Taco, said in the release. "We're already seeing an incredible response at the locations that have reopened, with Macho Burritos returning, plus our new bigger, over one pound classic burritos and our super popular $9 AmeriMex El Big Box. We look forward to continuing to serve guests our fresh unexpected flavor."

The brand is hiring across all locations with plans to host local hiring events. It recently entered North Carolina.

Del Taco was founded in 1964 and has nearly 600 restaurants across 17 states.
