Del Taco
Del Taco was founded in the 1960s as a Mexican inspired restaurant that also happens to sell burgers and fries, interesting combo. It is incredibly popular in the West and Southwest areas, and in total has 564 restaurants. However, there are plans to shut down less popular locations by 2020. They also are interested in going more towards franchising. In 2015 it was sold to Levy Acquisition making it a public company. Their plans to expand east were not incredibly successful but they still bring in considerable revenue making them a worthwhile competitor against Taco Bell.
