In a pivotal move that has left many diners and employees grappling with sudden changes, Del Taco has officially closed all of its locations across Colorado as part of a strategic shift. The decision, announced on February 27, 2025, affects a formidable number of stores that once proudly served their famous tacos and fast-food offerings in the state. According to the latest reports, Del Taco’s decision to exit Colorado was driven by a reevaluation of its business model and market strategy following the company’s acquisition by Jack in the Box in 2022 for approximately $575 million. It also reflects ongoing challenges within an increasingly competitive fast-food market. Customers who frequented the brand have expressed concerns and disappointment about the closures, with social media posts detailing their fond memories of the restaurant chain. Eric Gonzalez, a spokesperson for Del Taco, mentioned, “We appreciate all the Colorado customers who have supported us over the years. This decision was made after thoughtful consideration of our operational strategy. We remain committed to growing Del Taco in other regions.” The closures have created job losses across the state, impacting many employees who relied on the fast-food chain for their livelihood. Del Taco had previously operated over 20 locations in the Colorado area.
