Del Taco Order Online: Pickup, Delivery, Rewards & Ordering Guide

Using Del Taco Order Online is one of the easiest ways to order tacos, burritos, breakfast items, burgers, fries, shakes, drinks, and complete meals without waiting to build your order at the restaurant.

Customers can browse the menu for a selected location, compare local prices, customize eligible items, choose pickup or delivery, apply an available reward, and pay before the order is prepared. Online ordering also makes it easier to review ingredients, quantities, drinks, sauces, sides, and the complete checkout total.

The ordering experience can vary by restaurant. Some Del Taco locations offer pickup and delivery, while others may support only one option. Prices, menu products, breakfast hours, rewards participation, and delivery coverage can also differ.

Can You Order Del Taco Online?

Yes. Participating Del Taco restaurants allow customers to place orders digitally through the restaurant’s online ordering system or the Del Taco app.

Depending on the location, available options may include:

Ordering option	How it works
Online pickup	Order and pay before collecting food from the restaurant
Order ahead	Select an available future or estimated pickup time
Drive-thru pickup	Collect an eligible digital order through the drive-thru
Direct delivery	Have food delivered from a participating restaurant
Third-party delivery	Order through an external delivery platform
In-store rewards scan	Present a reward QR code before paying

A service will not necessarily be available at every restaurant. The available ordering methods normally appear after you choose a location.

Why Use Del Taco Online Ordering?

Online ordering can make the process more convenient, especially when you need time to compare products or customize several items.

Common benefits include:

Viewing the menu without feeling rushed
Comparing local prices
Choosing pickup or delivery
Reviewing item descriptions
Removing available ingredients
Adding eligible toppings or extras
Selecting drinks and sides
Applying a reward or promotion
Earning rewards points
Paying before arriving
Saving favorite orders
Reviewing the total before checkout

It can be especially helpful for families, office lunches, customized meals, and orders containing several drinks or sides.

How to Order Del Taco Online

The layout of the website or app may change, but the main ordering steps usually remain similar.

Step 1: Select a Del Taco Restaurant

Begin by searching with your city, ZIP code, or current location.

Review the restaurant information carefully before starting the order.

Check:

Full street address
Distance from your location
Operating hours
Breakfast availability
Pickup options
Delivery availability
Estimated preparation time
Drive-thru access
Local menu availability

The selected restaurant will prepare the order. Accidentally choosing another location can result in your food being sent somewhere you did not intend to visit.

Step 2: Choose Pickup or Delivery

The available fulfillment choices appear after selecting the restaurant.

Pickup

Pickup is often the least expensive digital option because it avoids delivery and service fees.

You may be able to choose:

Counter pickup
Order-ahead pickup
Drive-thru collection
A scheduled or estimated pickup time

Delivery

Delivery depends on the restaurant and address.

Before building the order, enter the complete delivery address so the system can check:

Whether the location delivers to you
Estimated delivery time
Delivery charge
Service fee
Minimum purchase
Available menu items

Some products or promotions may be available for pickup but not delivery.

Step 3: Sign In to Del Yeah! Rewards

You can browse without an account in some situations, but signing in is recommended when you want to earn points or use member benefits.

A rewards account may help you:

Earn points on qualifying purchases
Redeem free-food rewards
View Wednesday Hookups
Access personalized offers
Receive birthday benefits
Save favorite orders
Save a preferred restaurant
Review previous orders
Store eligible payment information

Registration generally requires basic information such as your name, email address, mobile number, and password. Adding a birthday can make you eligible for a birthday offer.

Step 4: Browse the Local Del Taco Menu

After selecting the restaurant, review its available menu categories.

These may include:

Featured items
Value Menu
Breakfast
Tacos
Burritos
Epic Burritos
Crispy chicken
Quesadillas
Nachos
Salads
Burgers
Crinkle Cut Fries
Loaded fries
Combo meals
Desserts
Shakes
Sides
Vegetarian choices
Drinks

Menu availability can vary by region, restaurant, time of day, and product supply.

Breakfast products may disappear after the local breakfast cutoff, while limited-time items can be available only at selected locations.

Step 5: Open the Menu Item

Select the product you want and review its details before adding it to the cart.

Look for:

Item name
Local price
Description
Serving size
Required selections
Optional customizations
Available protein
Sauce choices
Drink sizes
Side choices
Nutrition details
Allergen information

Do not assume that a price shown on another website applies to your restaurant. The menu displayed for your selected location is the most relevant source for your order.

Step 6: Customize Your Food

Eligible items may offer several customization options.

Depending on the product, you may be able to:

Remove cheese
Remove sour cream
Remove tomatoes
Remove lettuce
Remove a sauce
Select red or green sauce
Choose crunchy or soft
Change the protein
Add guacamole
Add extra cheese
Add bacon
Add queso
Select a dipping sauce
Choose fries or another side
Select a fountain drink

Some selections are required. A meal may not be added until you choose its drink, size, side, or sauce.

Customizations can change:

Final price
Calories
Fat
Sodium
Protein
Ingredients
Allergens

Removing one ingredient does not guarantee that the remaining food is free from a particular allergen.

Step 7: Review the Cart

Carefully review the cart before payment.

Confirm:

Restaurant address
Pickup or delivery
Selected time
Delivery address
Item quantities
Taco or tortilla style
Protein choices
Removed ingredients
Added toppings
Drink flavors
Drink sizes
Sides
Sauces
Rewards or offers
Subtotal
Taxes
Delivery charges
Service fees
Tip
Final total

This step is important because submitted orders may not be editable.

Step 8: Apply a Reward, Offer, or Promo Code

Signed-in members can review eligible benefits before checkout.

These benefits are not always the same.

Benefit type	What it means
Points reward	A food item unlocked by redeeming points
Account offer	A discount or promotion assigned to the member
Wednesday Hookup	A rotating weekly rewards offer
Birthday reward	A tier-based birthday benefit
Promo code	A code with its own requirements and expiration
Local promotion	A restaurant-specific deal

Only one reward or promotional offer is generally allowed per transaction.

Before applying one, compare:

Dollar value of the free item
Percentage discount
Minimum purchase
Eligible products
Expiration date
Whether delivery is excluded
Whether the offer works at the selected location

A free entrée may save more than a percentage discount on a small order. A percentage offer may provide better value on a larger family order.

Step 9: Choose Payment

Available payment methods appear during checkout.

Depending on the ordering channel, options may include:

Credit card
Debit card
Del Taco gift card
Stored eligible payment method
Other payment methods shown by the checkout system

Confirm that the billing details are correct and that the final amount matches your expectations.

Step 10: Submit the Order

After submitting payment, wait for the confirmation page.

The confirmation may display:

Order number
Restaurant address
Pickup or delivery method
Estimated preparation time
Pickup instructions
Delivery estimate
Order status
Payment summary

Save the confirmation until the order has been collected or delivered.

Del Taco Website vs. Del Taco App

Customers can use either option where online ordering is supported.

Feature	Website	Del Taco app
Find participating restaurants	Yes	Yes
Browse local menu	Yes	Yes
Place pickup orders	Location-dependent	Location-dependent
Request delivery	Location-dependent	Location-dependent
Sign in to rewards	Yes	Yes
Earn points	Yes, when signed in	Yes, when signed in
Redeem rewards	Yes	Yes
View weekly offers	Through account	Convenient app access
Display in-store QR code	Less convenient	Yes
Save favorites	Account-dependent	Yes
View order history	Account-dependent	Yes

The app may be more convenient for frequent customers because rewards, saved orders, QR codes, and account offers are kept in one place.

A smartphone is not always required to participate in rewards because customers may also access their accounts through a web browser.

Del Taco Pickup Ordering

Del Taco pickup can be useful when you want the convenience of digital ordering without delivery charges.

Advantages include:

Faster restaurant collection
Digital payment
Easier customization
Rewards-point earning
Access to account offers
Saved favorite orders
Clear order confirmation
Reduced chance of drive-thru communication mistakes

Pickup Tips

Before traveling, check:

Correct restaurant
Pickup time
Restaurant hours
Confirmation number
Pickup instructions
Order status

When collecting the food, verify:

Customer name
Number of bags
Drinks
Desserts
Sauces
Fries and sides
Customized items

For a large or highly customized order, checking the bag before leaving can save another trip.

Del Taco Delivery

Delivery is available only from participating locations.

You may see direct delivery or an external platform depending on your location.

Direct Delivery

Direct ordering may make it easier to:

Use your Del Taco account
Review member offers
Earn points on qualifying food purchases
See the local digital menu
Manage the order from one account

However, delivery charges, service fees, tips, taxes, and other non-food charges may not earn rewards points.

Third-Party Delivery

External delivery platforms can offer separate promotions such as:

Free delivery
BOGO items
New-customer discounts
Subscription savings
Reduced fees
Restaurant-specific deals

A Del Taco app reward may not work through an outside platform.

Compare the Complete Delivery Cost

Do not compare only the food subtotal.

Checkout charge	What to review
Menu price	It may be higher than pickup pricing
Coupon discount	Verify that it was actually applied
Delivery fee	May depend on distance or subtotal
Service charge	Can vary by platform
Small-order fee	May apply below a threshold
Taxes	Added based on location
Tip	Increases the final payment

Even with a delivery promotion, pickup may still have the lower total.

Del Yeah! Rewards and Online Ordering

Ordering while signed in can help members earn points on qualifying purchases.

Rewards Earning Rates

Rewards tier	Points per eligible $1
Queso	8 points
Scorcho	10 points
Inferno	11 points
Epic	12 points

Higher tiers earn points faster and may unlock additional benefits.

How to Earn Points

Points may be earned by:

Ordering online while signed in
Scanning the rewards account at the restaurant
Submitting qualifying receipt information

Points may take time to appear.

Only one account can generally receive credit for a transaction.

Purchases That May Not Earn Points

Excluded charges can include:

Gift-card purchases
Group orders
Delivery fees
Tips
Sales tax
Other transactional taxes

Points are normally calculated from the eligible food-and-beverage portion rather than the complete payment.

How to Redeem Rewards Online

Sign in to your account.
Open the Rewards section.
Review your points balance.
Select an eligible item.
Choose Redeem.
Confirm the conversion.
Add the qualifying item to the cart.
Apply the reward.
Verify that the discount appears.

Once points are converted, the food reward generally has a shorter expiration period than unused points.

Do not convert points until you are reasonably certain you will use the reward.

Del Taco Reward Expiration

Point-based rewards generally expire around 30 days after redemption.

When a converted reward expires:

The reward is removed.
The redeemed points are lost.
The points are not automatically returned.

Unused points normally expire one year after they are earned.

Different groups of points can therefore expire on different dates.

Wednesday Hookups

Wednesday Hookups are rotating offers available to Del Yeah! Rewards members.

The weekly promotion may include:

A discounted taco
A discounted burrito
A free item with purchase
A percentage discount
Bonus points
A limited-time menu product

The offer can change every Wednesday.

Before ordering:

Open the Offers section.
Find the current Wednesday Hookup.
Read its requirements.
Check the expiration time.
Confirm the eligible restaurant.
Add the required items.
Apply the offer.
Verify the savings.

An old screenshot does not prove that a previous offer is still active.

How to Apply a Del Taco Promo Code

When you have a valid code:

Add eligible products to the cart.
Open the promo-code field.
Enter the code exactly as provided.
Select Apply.
Wait for the order summary to update.
Confirm the discount amount.
Review the final total.

A code has not worked unless the discount appears in the order summary.

Why a Promo Code May Fail

Common reasons include:

Expired code
Incorrect spelling
Minimum purchase not met
Wrong restaurant
Ineligible menu product
Account-specific restriction
Code already redeemed
Another offer already applied
Pickup-only restriction
Delivery-only restriction
Third-party delivery exclusion

Do not add unnecessary food merely to reach a coupon minimum unless the added items were already part of your intended order.

Can You Use a Del Taco Gift Card Online?

An eligible Del Taco gift card may be accepted during app checkout.

Before paying, verify:

Current balance
Card activation
Correct card number
Whether the checkout accepts gift cards
Remaining balance
Whether a second payment method is required

Purchasing the gift card itself generally does not earn rewards points.

Del Taco Online Payment Options

Available payment options may change.

The most accurate information is shown during checkout for the selected ordering method.

Do not assume that every mobile wallet or digital payment service is supported. When a preferred option does not appear, use one of the payment methods displayed by the system.

Can You Edit a Del Taco Online Order?

A submitted order generally cannot be edited.

This includes changes to:

Restaurant
Pickup time
Delivery address
Quantity
Protein
Tortilla style
Toppings
Sauces
Drinks
Sides
Payment

When cancellation remains available, you may need to cancel and place a replacement order.

Reviewing the cart before submission is therefore essential.

How to Cancel a Del Taco Order

Cancellation may be available before:

You check in
The restaurant begins preparation
The order reaches a non-cancelable status

Cancel immediately when you notice an error.

The option may disappear after:

Preparation begins
The restaurant accepts the order
You check in
The pickup time approaches
A driver is assigned

Confirm that the first order was canceled before submitting another one. Otherwise, both orders may be charged and prepared.

Del Taco Refunds

Payment is normally charged when the online order is placed.

When an eligible order is successfully canceled, the refund may be initiated quickly. The bank can still take several business days to display the credit.

Keep:

Order number
Confirmation email
Cancellation confirmation
Payment receipt
Date and time
Refund notification

Contact customer support when the expected processing period has passed and the refund is still missing.

Del Taco Group Ordering

For a larger group order:

Select the restaurant carefully.
Order well in advance.
Separate customized products.
Label similar meals.
Add enough sauces.
Confirm drink sizes.
Check utensils and napkins.
Review every quantity.

A catering order may be more practical for an office, party, school event, or large family gathering.

Group orders may not earn standard rewards points.

Nutrition Information When Ordering Online

Nutrition information may include:

Serving size
Calories
Total fat
Saturated fat
Trans fat
Cholesterol
Sodium
Carbohydrates
Dietary fiber
Total sugars
Protein

Customizations can change these values.

For example:

Removing cheese can reduce calories and fat.
Adding guacamole can increase calories.
Selecting a sugary drink can significantly increase meal calories.
Adding fries turns an entrée into a much larger order.
Extra sauce can increase calories and sodium.

Use the nutrition information as a planning tool rather than assuming that every customized item matches the standard listing.

Allergen Information When Ordering Online

Common allergens that may appear include:

Milk
Eggs
Wheat
Soybeans
Sesame
Fish
Shellfish
Gluten

Removing one visible ingredient does not necessarily remove every source of an allergen.

Examples:

A sauce may contain milk or eggs.
Grilled chicken marinade may contain milk, wheat, or soy.
A corn shell can still be paired with seasoned meat containing wheat.
A bun may contain sesame.
Shared fryers can create cross-contact concerns.

Customers with severe allergies should speak directly with the selected restaurant. App customization is not an allergen-safety guarantee.

Tips for a Better Del Taco Online Order

Sign In Before Browsing

This helps ensure that eligible points and offers are connected to the purchase.

Save a Favorite Restaurant

Using the same location reduces the chance of selecting the wrong address.

Pickup often provides the lower final price.

Use the benefit that produces the greatest savings.

Do Not Redeem Points Too Early

Converted rewards expire sooner than unused points.

Order Before Peak Times

Busy lunch and dinner periods can increase preparation and delivery times.

Keep the Confirmation Screen

Save the order number and restaurant address.

Check Drinks and Sauces

These are among the easiest items to overlook.

Review Customized Items Before Leaving

Confirm cheese, sauce, protein, and tortilla selections.

Keep the Receipt
