Del Taco Operator Opens 11th New Mexico Location With An Eye On 12

Dennis Ekstrom has more than 20 years of franchise industry experience and has used that background to grow a nice portfolio of Del Taco restaurants in New Mexico. His Diamondback LLC just opened its 11th Del Taco location in Espanola and he's already planning his next restaurant in Albuquerque before the end of the year.

"When you invest in a growing, profitable business like Del Taco, each opening gets more exciting than the next," said Ekstrom. "The turn of the decade gave us renewed energy, and I'm thrilled to be a part of a brand that matches our enthusiasm. We've built quite the fandom in New Mexico, and there's still more development opportunities on the horizon."

The Del Taco brand has more than 580 locations across 15 states.
