Del Taco
In the 1960s, Del Taco was established as an inspired Mexican restaurant that also happens to sell burgers and fries, a fascinating combination. It is immensely popular in the West and Southwest areas, and also has a total of 564 restaurants. Las Vegas, Nevada has the most Del Tacos of any single city, and California has the most Del Tacos of any state. That being said, there have plans to closed down less popular areas by 2020. They ‘re still open to moving further towards franchising. It was sold to Levy Acquisition in 2015, making it a publicly owned company. Their plans to develop east have not been highly successful, but they still bring substantial revenue to make them a viable rival to Taco Bell.
