Del Taco’s Fresca Bowls are served on a bed of fresca lime rice and seasoned black beans, and are offered in the following three varieties:

• Southwest Grilled Chicken & Veggie Bowl combines fresh-grilled chicken and a blend of fire-roasted, red and green bell peppers, caramelized onions and flavorful Poblano pepper
• Pollo Asado Grilled Chicken Bowl is made with marinated, fresh-grilled chicken, hand-chopped pico de gallo salsa, onions and cilantro
• Fire Roasted Veggie Bowl features Del Taco’s tangy green chile sauce, freshly-chopped pico de gallo salsa, and a blend of roasted vegetables

The Pollo Asado Grilled Chicken Bowl (500 calories) and Southwest Grilled Chicken & Veggie Bowl (530 calories) are each loaded with 4.5 ounces of fresh-grilled chicken per serving, significantly exceeding the amount of protein included in bowls offered by Quick Service Restaurants (QSRs) and fast-casual competitors.

Here’s What Broad A Thought:

As you can see, I chose:

The Pollo Asado Grilled Chicken Bowl (500 calories) with fresh cilantro and lots of grilled chicken!  Since I love natural foods, this was a great choice for a Diva conscious of her calories and yet desiring good quality food!  YUM YUM!  Delicious and a portion size that was perfect for me! If you’re looking for a great meatless meal the Fire Roasted Veggie Bowl at only 450 calories is a great choice as well.
