\"Del<\/p>\n

What are the Del Taco Beyond Tacos?<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

Utilizing Beyond Meat, a wholly plant-based meat substitute in its tacos, Del Taco officially overtakes Taco Bell as my faux-Mexican eatery of choice. The vegetarian Beyond Taco and the vegan Beyond Avocado Taco, apparently here for a limited time, are being tested throughout the United States. My area was finally lucky enough to receive them.<\/p>\n

How are they?<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

In short, a revelation. Del Taco took its charming array of spices and seasonings and mixed it into the ground beef-like Beyond Meat, creating a flavorful m\u00e9lange that is even better than its real meat mixture. Offering two distinct tacos \u2014 the Beyond Taco and the Beyond Avocado Taco \u2014 I ordered both as soft tacos, natch, with no problem and no argument.<\/p>\n

\"Del<\/p>\n

The Beyond Taco contains the plant-based protein, lettuce, tomatoes and shredded cheese – perhaps a little too much shredded cheese. After taking a handful of it off, the spicy meat substitute really comes through, filling and satisfying, far more than you would think it would.<\/p>\n

\"Del<\/p>\n

Additionally, the Beyond Avocado Taco features the protein, lettuce, tomatoes and, for all the difference in the world, a hearty slice of avocado. While the cheese kind of took over the previous taco, here the cool denseness of the avocado really brings out the seasonings that make the Beyond Meat so mouth watering. <\/p>\n

Is there anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

Tacos not your bag, baby? I\u2019m sure if you ask nice enough, they will substitute meat with Beyond Meat on just about anything on the menu. They did it for me with the soft tacos. The taste I\u2019m sure would go great with its burritos, nachos and, sorry <\/a>Carl\u2019s Jr., burgers as well.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

In both the Beyond Taco and the Beyond Avocado Taco, the plant protein elevates both and finally gives taco-hungry vegetarians and vegans a palpable choice as opposed to settling on lame takeaways and substitutions at other restaurants.<\/p>\n
