"Del's shrimp tacos -- almost a religious experience"

......................Dave Phillips of THE COLORADO SPRINGS GAZETTE Nov 24 2006

The best thing about Del Taco's new crispy shrimp taco ($1.79) is not that it complements Del's fabulous fish tacos. It's that with it, the chain has attempted to make mere mortal man happy, not just God.
The warm, soft flour tortilla comes loaded with hot, deep-fried shrimp in a thick, delicious breading, nestled in a nest of cool, shredded cabbage. It's a Pentateuch of different tastes, temperatures and textures crowned with a garnish of freshly-made pico de gallo and a lime wedge. . . You have the best new fast food item to come out since the McRib. Even if it's a sin, it might be worth it.

Del Taco Crispy Shrimp Taco – Big Sales for Shrimp Taco

Mood for Food was hired to bring new product ideas to the second largest Mexican Fast Food Brand, Del Taco. Recently purchased by Captain D’s, a seafood chain, Mood For Food developed a new product strategy that could be aligned with the strengths of the new parent. Mood for Food formulated a winning, crave able, bulletproof product that was considered one of their biggest successes in recent memory, The Crispy Shrimp Taco. Corporate support for the product was so strong, traditional market testing and operational testing was skipped and the Crispy Shrimp Taco went directly to market and commercial. The Shrimp taco which was originally slated for a 60 day Limited Time Offer was left on the Del Taco Menu for 9 months and topped sales at 13% sales mix.
