While many fast-food chains rely on frozen, pre-breaded proteins, the Del Taco Grilled Chicken Taco stands apart. Each taco features chicken that is marinated and grilled fresh in our kitchens throughout the day.
In 2026, this item has become a staple for fitness-conscious diners and budget-seekers alike, thanks to its high protein-to-calorie ratio and the legendary “Thursday Night Grill” special.

What Is the Del Taco Grilled Chicken Taco?
The Grilled Chicken Taco is a lighter, healthier alternative to the classic fried taco, featuring:
- Grilled chicken breast – juicy, lean, and flavorful.
- Fresh lettuce and tomato – adding crunch and freshness.
- Shredded cheese – for a mild, creamy finish.
- Soft flour or crunchy corn tortilla – your choice depending on preference.
- Optional sauces and toppings can be customized.
Unlike the crispy chicken taco, the grilled version is lower in calories, making it a great choice for those who want delicious flavor without extra fat or grease.

Expert Ordering Advice
As industry veterans, we know how to optimize your order for the best experience:
- Freshness Check: Because our chicken is grilled in batches, the freshest tacos are usually served during the peak lunch (12–1 PM) and dinner (6–7 PM) rushes.
- Add “Bold” Flavor: For just a few cents, ask to make it “Bold.” We’ll add our famous crinkle-cut fries and extra secret sauce inside the taco.
- The “Street Taco” Swap: If you want more protein and fewer carbs, try the Chicken Taco Del Carbon. It uses the same grilled chicken but swaps the flour tortilla and sauce for a corn tortilla, onions, cilantro, and green sauce (only 110 calories!).
