Del Taco has once again claimed the title of America's best fast food fries. For the third consecutive year, the Mexican-inspired chain's crinkle-cut fries have topped USA Today's annual 10Best list for fast food fries, a distinction determined by popular vote. This year's win solidifies Del Taco's reign, having previously secured the award in 2024 and 2025.
Fans and voters have consistently favored Del Taco's simple yet satisfying fries. USA Today highlights that their crinkle-cut shape is key to holding salt and maintaining crispiness, a crucial attribute for fries that are often loaded with toppings or incorporated into burritos. The crispness ensures they remain a stable and delicious component.
Following Del Taco in the rankings, Farmer Boys secured the second spot, with A&W taking third place. Other notable chains that made the top ten include McDonald's, Shake Shack, Five Guys, and Chick-fil-A, indicating strong competition in the fast food fry arena.
