Delicious is an extreme adjective, meaning it already implies 'very tasty.' For this reason, it is more natural to use it with 'absolutely' than with 'very.'
Errores comunes
Learners often say 'more deliciouser' or 'most deliciousest.' Because it is a long adjective, you should use 'more delicious' or 'most delicious,' though it is rarely compared because it is already an absolute state.
