Free Shrimp Taco at Del Taco

Nice offer today from Del Taco. If you use Facebook and sign up on the Del Taco Facebook fan page, you can get a coupon good for a free shrimp taco (with purchase). First, become a fan.  Next you need to  click on the tab labeled “Free Shrimp Taco” and print out your coupon for a free Crispy Shrimp Taco with any purchase.

You can only access the coupon once, so be ready to print, ok? And I’m not sure when it expires, since I didn’t print one out. In any case, there are lots of “Del Taco” restaurants sprinkled throughout the Valley.

I’m told the coupon only becomes available after you become a fan.
