"If you'd like a snack that's easy on your wallet, Del Taco might have what you're looking for. The Lake Forest chain's new Micro Meal includes a miniature version of its Beef and Cheddar Burrito, seven to 10 crinkle-cut fries and a single Donut Bite for $2.99, according to a news release. This is one of the cheapest combos from a major fast food chain to date, albeit one of the smallest."
"My meal fit snuggly in a 5½-by-5-inch carton. I counted the fries. There were 13, but a couple of them were stubby. The usual portion of Donut Bites is four, by the way. The Micro Meal made a light lunch that didn't ruin my dinner. Since I'm a fan of the full-sized Beef and Cheddar Burrito, it was nice to have a more guilt-free option."
"Since these portions aren't on the regular menu, it's difficult to calculate the savings, but full portions of these items would cost more than $10. The total here was $3.25, including tax. Note, the Micro Meal doesn't include a beverage. Del Taco's other value combos are still around. They're called El Big Boxes and provide heftier meals for $5, $7 or $9."
Del Taco is offering a Micro Meal priced at $2.99 that contains a miniature Beef and Cheddar Burrito, seven to ten crinkle-cut fries and a single Donut Bite. The offering ranks among the cheapest combos from a major fast food chain in 2024, following competitors' $4–$5 value meals. The Micro Meal is a smaller portion not on the regular menu and does not include a beverage. Observed packaging was a compact 5½-by-5-inch carton with 13 fries; a comparable full portion of these items would cost more than $10. The Micro Meal is available through Nov. 23. Del Taco also sells El Big Boxes priced at $5, $7 or $9 and features limited-time items like Del Dorado Chicken and an Orange Cream Shake.
