Del Taco is reaching back into its flavor archives to bring back a staple of the 2000s: Spicy Jack cheese. Starting January 27, the longtime fan favorite returns to menus nationwide, offering guests a familiar blend of heat and nostalgia through a specialized lineup of classic items.
The Return of Bold Flavors
The limited-time menu focuses on two core offerings designed to highlight the unique profile of Spicy Jack cheese. Each item is prepared with Del Taco’s signature tangy green sauce and folded into a flour tortilla before being flat-grilled to perfection.
The featured items include:
-
Spicy Jack Chicken Quesadilla: Features freshly grilled, marinated chicken paired with shredded Spicy Jack cheese and tangy green sauce.
-
Spicy Jack Quesadilla: A classic combination of shredded Spicy Jack cheese and tangy green sauce.
“Fans spoke and we listened. This limited-time lineup brings back the bold flavors they’ve been craving, with the quality and freshness they expect from Del Taco,” said Noah Chillingworth, Chief Marketing Officer at Del Taco.
Tapping into the Nostalgia Trend
The return of Spicy Jack comes at a time when nostalgia-driven menus are seeing a surge in the quick-service restaurant (QSR) space. By bringing back these defining flavors, Del Taco continues its guest-led approach, creating modern excitement around the tastes that helped build the brand’s reputation decades ago.
Availability
Guests can find both Spicy Jack quesadillas at participating locations beginning today. However, fans will need to act fast, as the Spicy Jack menu is only scheduled to be available through March 23.
