Planning food for an office lunch, birthday party, family gathering, school event, or team meeting does not have to be complicated. The Del Taco catering menu offers customizable taco kits, burrito boxes, individually packaged meals, shareable sides, desserts, and beverages for groups of different sizes.
The official catering program is built around three main formats:
- Buffet-Style Taco Kits
- Assorted Burrito Boxes
- Individual Meals
Taco kits are designed for groups of 10, 15, 20, or more, while burrito boxes work well for groups of five, 10, or more. Individual meals can be ordered in the exact quantity needed for your event. Del Taco also states that catering orders include serving and dining utensils, napkins, and assorted hot-sauce packets.
Prices are not identical nationwide. The restaurant selected, local menu pricing, delivery destination, tax, substitutions, and ordering platform can all affect the final cost. Use the figures below as sample 2026 catering prices, then confirm the exact amount through your participating Del Taco location.

Build-Your-Own Taco Kit
The Del Taco Build-Your-Own Taco Kit is the most flexible catering option for a party or social event. Instead of distributing identical meals, the kit lets guests assemble tacos using the available tortillas, proteins, toppings, sauces, beans, and rice.
What Is Included?
A standard taco kit currently includes:
- Choice of two proteins
- Flour tortillas or corn tortillas
- Choice of three sauces
- Shredded lettuce
- Freshly grated cheddar cheese
- Diced onions
- Chopped cilantro
- House-made pico de gallo
- Slow-cooked beans
- Cilantro-lime rice
Participating catering menus commonly offer freshly grilled marinated chicken, carne asada steak, and other locally available protein selections. The exact choices should be confirmed during checkout.
Taco Kit Sizes and Sample Prices
| Kit size | Sample price | Approx. per person |
|---|---|---|
| Serves 10 | $136.49 | $13.65 |
| Serves 15 | $204.79 | $13.65 |
| Serves 20 | Build using available increments | Varies |
that taco kits are suitable for 10, 15, 20, or more people. The ordering platform may divide a larger event into several kits rather than displaying a separate 20-person product.
Why Choose the Taco Kit?
The buffet format works especially well when:
- Guests want to select their own protein.
- Some guests prefer corn tortillas.
- Different heat levels are needed.
- You want a more interactive meal.
- The event has a mix of larger and smaller appetites.
- Toppings and sauces need to be kept separate.
Remember that customization does not automatically make an item suitable for a food allergy. Review Del Taco’s current ingredient and allergen information and speak with the participating restaurant about preparation concerns.
Assorted Burrito Boxes
A Del Taco Burrito Box is a practical alternative when you need a cleaner, faster, grab-and-go catering setup.
Each burrito box typically contains 10 burritos with house-made tortilla chips. The ordering menu may allow you to specify how many of each eligible burrito you want in the special-instructions field.
Classic Burrito Box
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Quantity | 10 burritos |
| Side | Tortilla chips |
| Sample price | $76.69 |
| Approx. per person | $7.67 |
| Best for | Affordable office or school lunches |
Classic boxes generally focus on lower-priced burritos selected from the catering menu.
Epic Burrito Box
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Quantity | 10 Epic Burritos |
| Side | Tortilla chips |
| Sample price | $98.69 |
| Approx. per person | $9.87 |
| Best for | Premium and more filling individual meals |
The Epic Burrito Box costs more because it contains Del Taco’s larger Epic Burritos. One Federal Way, Washington location, for example, displayed prices of $80.29 for a Classic Burrito Box and $103.39 for an Epic Burrito Box, demonstrating that local prices differ.
Can Burrito Flavors Be Mixed?
Participating menu pages instruct customers to specify how many of each eligible burrito they would like in the special-instructions field. The available mix depends on the restaurant’s catering menu.
Do not assume that every regular-menu burrito can be added to a box. Review the choices displayed after selecting the location.
Individual Burrito Meals
Individual meals are useful for business meetings, conferences, training sessions, and other events where each guest needs a clearly separated meal.
The official catering describes individual burrito meals as a burrito served with tortilla chips, while local catering menus may let customers select two available sides.
Sample Individual Burrito Meal Prices
| Individual meal | Sample price |
|---|---|
| Epic Grilled Chicken Fresh Guacamole Burrito Meal | $11.79 |

- Crinkle Cut Fries
- Queso Blanco
- Cheddar cheese
- Pico de gallo
- Flour tortilla
- Available sides
They are typically heavier and more cheese-focused than the Fresh Guacamole versions.

Chips and House-Made Guacamole
The guacamole is described as combining avocados with house-made pico de gallo, lime juice, and seasoning.

|---|---|---|
| Mini Cinnamon Churros and Donut Bites | 8 people | $9.49 |
| 6 Mini Cinnamon Churros | 6 people | $7.39 |

The combination package includes four Mini Cinnamon Churros and eight Donut Bites. Higher-priced markets may list the combination at approximately $10.39 and the six-person packs at about $8.09.
Del Taco Catering Beverages
Bulk beverages make it easier to serve a group without purchasing separate fountain drinks.

| Unsweetened Iced Tea | 1 gallon / 128 oz | About 8 | $16.79 |

Some markets list gallon beverages at approximately $18.39.
A gallon provides sixteen 8-ounce servings, but catering platforms commonly estimate about eight guests to allow approximately 16 ounces per person.

Del Taco Catering Minimum Order
Del Taco’s official catering FAQ states that catering orders require a $50 minimum.
Third-party ordering pages may display different delivery minimums for individual restaurants. Examples reviewed ranged from $25 to $150, depending on the location and ordering platform.
This distinction is important:
- The official catering-program minimum is $50.
- A delivery platform or individual restaurant may require a higher food-and-beverage subtotal.
- Pickup and delivery minimums may differ.
How Far in Advance Should You Order?
Officially, Del Taco catering orders may be submitted as soon as four hours in advance.
Four hours is the published minimum, not necessarily the ideal planning window for every event. Consider ordering earlier when:
- The group is large.
- Several taco kits are needed.
- The event begins early in the morning.
- Delivery timing is critical.
- The order requires extensive customization.
- The event falls on a holiday or busy weekend.
- A tax-exempt purchase needs manual assistance.
Placing an order one or more days ahead can provide additional time to confirm availability, even though the official system may accept eligible orders with four hours’ notice.
Does Del Taco Deliver Catering Orders?
| Catering subtotal | Official delivery fee |
|---|---|
| Up to $300 | $30 flat fee |
| More than $300 | 10% of the order total |
Delivery remains subject to restaurant participation, address eligibility, availability, and additional ordering conditions.
Always use the amount shown in your final checkout.
