Review: Del Taco - CrunchTada Tostada

Del Taco's CrunchTada Tostada features a thick, wavy corn tostada shell topped with slow-cooked beans, taco sauce, shredded lettuce, and freshly-grated cheddar cheese.

It's a value menu item with a $1 price tag, but I received this one courtesy of Del Taco.

The key feature for the CrunchTada is the extra-crispy tortilla shell which gave a nice, audible crunch with every bite. It's thick but wasn't super hard and was easy to bite into.

The rest of the toppings are the same as the old tostada (which the CrunchTada replaces) minus the slice of tomato.

The beans were definitely the primary flavor here and provided a tasty, seasoned, earthy base that was complemented by the taco sauce, lettuce, and cheese.

The taco sauce is tangy but mild; if you want something spicy, you'll have to grab a couple of sauce packets. The lettuce was fresh, and the cheese moist with a light flavor.

Overall, Del Taco's CrunchTada is basic but good and affordable. The beans have a pretty nice flavor and there's a satisfying crispiness through the shell.
