(Laguna Hills, CA) - December 5, 2002 - In a little more than a year, the web site designed for DEL TACO by BIG MAN CREATIVE has attracted the attention of thousands of food fans with great artwork and fun surprises like downloadable wallpaper, screensavers, sweepstakes and television commercials. Now the site has attracted industry attention and has been named a 2002 Standard of Excellence WebAward winner by the Web Marketing Association (WMAJ).

Deltaco.com gives consumers an up-close look at the Del Taco's varied and extensive menu items while providing an interactive experience complete with commercials, special films and promotions. The Del Taco web site also features company information about franchise opportunities, employment opportunities, store locator, and gift certificate sales.

"We are excited to have the Del Taco site recognized by the Web Marketing Association," said Scott A. Shuford, president. "Our goal this year has been to provide an entertaining site with deep content, great food shots, and great media content including Del Taco's outstanding commercials, in contrast to other restaurant competitors' sites."

Throughout the year www.deltaco.com has also promoted two sweepstakes including their current arrangement with Star Trek Nemesis, as well as humorous webumentaries, and web shorts.

Del Taco is a privately held company that operates, or franchises, more than 400 Mexican quick service restaurants throughout the United States.
