Del Taco Lovers Rejoice as Closed Colorado Locations Begin Reopening

Lovers of Mexican food in Colorado were shocked in February of 2025, when almost every Del Taco in the state were shut down. After nearly six months, it looks like things have turned around.

All But One Del Taco Are Reopening Because It Wasn't Ever Closed

When we all heard about the majority of Del Tacos in Colorado shutting their doors with no notice, it felt like we'd never have another Epic Burrito, again. Sure, they're not as popular as Taco Bell, but they have their own vibe and tasty food. It's good that they really aren't gone forever.

They had cars in the drive-thru, but it was because they were training; staff members were going through making orders, while other staff members were making orders. I was told that they'd be officially back open on Tuesday, June 24. I also heard from a listener that the Greeley location was also getting ready to reopen.

Welcome Back, Del Taco; hopefully for a very long time to come.
