Del Taco, Inc.
 PROFILE
Although it's a distant second in the race for taco dominance, Del Taco is no lightweight in the grudge match it faces with #1 Taco Bell. Among the menu items served by the company's 350 owned and franchised restaurants is the "Big Fat Crispy Chicken Taco," an unabashed challenger to Taco Bell's portly gordita. Del Taco restaurants also one-up Taco Bell units by offering something that the #1 chain lacks - American fare such as burgers, shakes, and fries. The company was formed in 1988 when Del Taco (founded as Casa del Taco in 1964 by brothers Ed and Tony Hackbarth) merged with Naugles (founded in 1970 by Richard Naugle). Chairman and CEO Kevin Moriarty and a group of investors own Del Taco.
