Del Taco Breakfast Hours
Del Taco breakfast hours are not identical at every restaurant. Some locations open early in the morning, while others begin service later. Breakfast availability may also differ between dine-in, drive-thru, pickup, and delivery.
Many restaurants serve breakfast until approximately 11:00 a.m., but customers should not assume that every location follows the same cutoff.
| Breakfast-hours question | Best guidance |
|---|---|
| When does Del Taco breakfast begin? | Usually when the participating restaurant opens |
| When does breakfast end? | Often around 11:00 a.m., but local times vary |
| Is breakfast served every day? | At participating locations during local breakfast hours |
| Are weekend hours different? | They may be |
| Can delivery stop earlier? | Yes, delivery availability may differ from restaurant hours |
| Should I order close to the cutoff? | Ordering earlier is safer |
Before placing an order, confirm:
- The restaurant’s opening time
- The local breakfast cutoff
- Breakfast menu availability
- Pickup and drive-thru hours
- Delivery availability
- Current prices
- Whether limited-time breakfast items are offered
Ordering shortly before breakfast ends may result in fewer available items as the kitchen prepares for the daytime menu.

Del Taco’s Breakfast Big Fat Tacos use thick toasted flatbread and are larger than the smaller Breakfast Rollers.
The current lineup includes Egg & Cheese, Bacon, Egg & Cheese, and Carnitas versions.

It includes:
- Flour tortilla
- Scrambled eggs
- Cheddar cheese
- Red sauce
- Seasoning
It contains 380 calories and 16 grams of protein. Its sodium content is 950 milligrams, so customers watching sodium should consider the rest of their daily meals when ordering.
Carne Asada Steak Breakfast Burrito
The Carne Asada Steak Breakfast Burrito provides a strong protein-to-calorie balance.
It contains:
- 450 calories
- 25 grams of protein
- 19 grams of fat
- 1,290 milligrams of sodium
It has more protein than the Egg & Cheese Burrito and fewer calories than the bacon and carnitas versions.
Carnitas Breakfast Burrito
The Carnitas Breakfast Burrito is currently the highest-protein individual breakfast entrée in the published nutrition list.
It provides:
- 510 calories
- 32 grams of protein
- 27 grams of fat
- 1,080 milligrams of sodium
It combines scrambled eggs, carnitas, cheddar cheese, and green sauce in a flour tortilla.
Bacon Breakfast Burrito
The Bacon Breakfast Burrito is one of the most filling choices.
It contains:
- 520 calories
- 30 grams of protein
- 26 grams of fat
- 1,540 milligrams of sodium
It has slightly fewer calories than some large fast-food breakfast meals, but it is the highest-sodium standard breakfast burrito in the current lineup.
Del Taco Breakfast Rollers
Breakfast Rollers are smaller than full-size burritos and easier to eat during a commute or quick morning break.
The two primary versions are:
- Egg & Cheese
- Bacon, Egg & Cheese
| Breakfast Roller | price | Calories | Fat | Sodium | Carbs | Protein |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Egg & Cheese | $2.09 | 250 | 11g | 610mg | 24g | 11g |
| Bacon, Egg & Cheese | $2.09 | 290 | 14g | 860mg | 24g | 16g |
Egg & Cheese Breakfast Roller
At 250 calories, the Egg & Cheese Breakfast Roller is the lowest-calorie savory entrée in the current breakfast nutrition list.
It is a practical choice for:
- Smaller appetites
- Quick breakfasts
- Pairing with hot coffee
- Customers who do not need a full meal
Bacon Breakfast Roller
The Bacon Breakfast Roller adds bacon while remaining smaller than a standard breakfast burrito.
It contains 290 calories and 16 grams of protein.
For customers comparing protein and calories, it provides the same protein as the Egg & Cheese Breakfast Burrito while containing 90 fewer calories.
Del Taco Breakfast Meals
Breakfast meals generally combine an entrée with Hashbrown Sticks and a drink.
Drink choices may include:
- Hot Coffee
- Regular Iced Coffee
- Regular fountain drink
Because drinks vary widely in calories, meal nutrition is displayed as a range.
Breakfast Burrito Meal Calories
| Breakfast meal | calorie range |
|---|---|
| Egg & Cheese Breakfast Burrito Meal | 610–920 |
| Bacon Breakfast Burrito Meal | 750–1,060 |
| Carne Asada Steak Breakfast Burrito Meal | 680–960 |
| Carnitas Breakfast Burrito Meal | Varies with drink and local setup |
Breakfast Big Fat Taco Meal Calories
| Breakfast meal | calorie range |
|---|---|
| Egg & Cheese Breakfast Big Fat Tacos Meal | 880–1,190 |
| Bacon, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Big Fat Tacos Meal | 1,000–1,310 |
| Carnitas Breakfast Big Fat Tacos Meal | 620–920 |
Meal calories increase because they may contain two tacos, Hashbrown Sticks, and a beverage.
How to Reduce Breakfast Meal Calories
Choosing a lower-calorie drink can significantly change the meal total.
Consider:
- Hot Coffee without sugar or cream
- Bottled water
- Unsweetened tea where available
- A zero-sugar fountain drink
- Ordering the entrée without a side
- Ordering one taco instead of a two-taco meal
A regular iced coffee contains 150 calories, while a large contains 250 calories. A regular sugary fountain drink may add considerably more.

Five Best Del Taco Breakfast Picks
The best breakfast choice depends on your priorities. One item may be better for protein, while another may suit a smaller appetite or lower-calorie order.
1. Egg & Cheese Breakfast Roller — Best Smaller Breakfast
The Egg & Cheese Breakfast Roller contains 250 calories and 11 grams of protein.
It is smaller than a full burrito, easier to eat on the move, and one of the least expensive breakfast entrées based on sample pricing.
It pairs well with:
- Hot Coffee
- Water
- Simply Orange
- A second Roller for a larger appetite
2. Carnitas Breakfast Burrito — Best High-Protein Pick
The Carnitas Breakfast Burrito provides 32 grams of protein, more than any other individual breakfast item listed in the current nutrition information.
It is suitable for customers who prioritize protein and a larger portion, though it also contains 510 calories and 27 grams of fat.
3. Carne Asada Steak Breakfast Burrito — Best Protein-to-Calorie Balance
With 450 calories and 25 grams of protein, the Carne Asada Steak Breakfast Burrito offers a middle ground between the lighter Egg & Cheese Burrito and the heavier bacon or carnitas options.
It may appeal to customers who want steak flavor without ordering the highest-calorie burrito.
4. Egg & Cheese Big Fat Taco — Best Lower-Sodium Entrée
The Egg & Cheese Big Fat Taco contains 260 milligrams of sodium.
That is considerably less than the Breakfast Rollers and full-size burritos.
It also contains:
- 280 calories
- 12 grams of protein
- 13 grams of fat
5. Donut Bites — Best Sweet Breakfast Item
The four-piece Donut Bites order contains 240 calories and 8 grams of sugar.
It can be ordered as:
- A light sweet snack
- A dessert after a savory entrée
- A shareable side
- A coffee pairing
Donut Bites contain relatively little protein, so they may not be as filling as eggs, meat, or cheese-based breakfast options.

- Sauce ingredients
- Shared preparation areas
- Fryer use
- Restaurant-specific supplier differences

How to Save Money on Del Taco Breakfast
Check Limited-Time Breakfast Offers
A two-for-$6 Breakfast Big Fat Taco promotion may cost less than ordering two tacos separately.
Availability can vary, so confirm the deal after selecting your restaurant.
Join Del Yeah! Rewards
Rewards members may receive:
- Points on qualifying purchases
- App-exclusive offers
- Birthday benefits
- Wednesday promotions
- Occasional breakfast deals
- Coffee offers
The offer displayed in the member’s account controls the actual terms.
Compare an Entrée With a Meal
A complete breakfast meal includes extra food and a drink, but it may cost more than you need to spend.
Ordering only the burrito, taco, or Roller may save money and calories.
Choose Pickup Instead of Delivery
Delivery can add:
- Service fees
- Delivery charges
- Higher menu prices
- Small-order fees
- Driver tips
Compare the final pickup and delivery totals rather than only the advertised menu price.
Check the Value of the Drink
Hot Coffee may cost less and contain fewer calories than flavored Iced Coffee or a sugary fountain drink.
Do Not Order Extras Only to Unlock a Discount
A promotion is useful only when it reduces the cost of food you already planned to buy.
Spending several extra dollars to unlock a small discount may not create genuine savings.
What Makes Del Taco Breakfast Different?
The Del Taco breakfast menu uses familiar breakfast ingredients in taco-shop formats.
Instead of biscuits and breakfast sandwiches, the menu emphasizes:
- Flour-tortilla burritos
- Toasted flatbread tacos
- Breakfast Rollers
- Red and green sauces
- Bacon, carne asada, and carnitas
- Scrambled eggs
- Cheddar cheese
- Hashbrown Sticks
This gives the menu a different style from traditional burger-chain breakfasts.
