Del Taco publishes no breakfast start or end time: the menu has a Breakfast category that says breakfast is served during breakfast hours only, and the rewards program gives a free coffee before 11 AM with a purchase, so we list no breakfast hours. 'Fourthmeal' is Taco Bell's term and does not appear on any Del Taco page checked.

Del Taco Hours: When It Opens and Closes FAQ
What time does Del Taco open and close?
It depends on the restaurant and region. On 80 store pages checked in October 2026, 22 listed 'Open 24 hours' every day, 52 closed at midnight or later (most between midnight and 3 AM) and 6 closed between 8 and 11 PM.

Each store page shows its own weekly hours. (Source: locations.deltaco.com)
Is Del Taco open 24 hours?
Some restaurants are. Of the 80 store pages checked, 22 listed 'Open 24 hours' on every day: 9 in California, 5 in Utah, 3 in Nevada, 2 in Michigan and 1 each in Idaho, Oregon and Ohio. None of the stores checked in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Washington, the Carolinas, Virginia, Indiana or Alabama were 24 hours. Del Taco says it began staying open all night after its 1988 merger with Naugles, but it does not publish a list of 24-hour restaurants, so check your store's page. (Source: locations.deltaco.com)
What are Del Taco's breakfast hours?
Del Taco does not publish breakfast hours. Its menu has a Breakfast section and says breakfast is served during breakfast hours only, and the rewards program offers a free coffee before 11 AM with a purchase. Because some stores do not open until 10 AM (every Florida, Indiana, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia store checked) while others open as early as 4 to 7 AM or stay open 24 hours, breakfast availability depends on the restaurant, so ask your store.

Does Del Taco have Fourthmeal or a late-night menu?
Fourthmeal is Taco Bell's name for its late-night meal, which Taco Bell announced in April 2006 according to QSRweb. None of the Del Taco pages checked use the term, and Del Taco lists no separate late-night menu. Most Del Taco restaurants simply stay open late: 74 of the 80 store pages checked list hours to midnight or later, and 22 list 24 hours. (Source: qsrweb.com)
