Taco John's

Taco John’s has been serving bold, original Mexican-infused flavors since 1969. Over the years, we’ve generated a cult-like fan base that can’t get enough of our signature flavors, fusing comfort food and south-of-the-border spice. The brand is built around unique menu items such as Potato Olés^®, Mexican-inspired wings, hand-made salsa and chips, fresh produce and quality tortillas.
 
Taco John’s^® has been unapologetic about using real ingredients, not taking shortcuts and doing things a little differently. Privately owned, the company operates and franchises over 400 restaurants in 25 states, making it one of the largest quick service Mexican restaurant brands in America.
 
One of the biggest growth categories in the QSR industry is Mexican food. Guests are looking for alternatives to standard burgers, sandwiches and chicken. Taco John’s satisfies this market trend by targeting all three day-parts (breakfast, lunch and dinner). Breakfast is our fastest growing day part thanks to entrees like our signature Meat & Potato Breakfast Burrito. We also offer original options like queso, churros and Mexi Rolls® for the growing afternoon and late-night snack day-parts.
 
New franchisees find that guests instantly connect with the Taco John’s attitude and flavor. For 40 years, we’ve proudly approached quick service Mexican food in an unapologetically, original way:

• Our flavors are bold, fresh and served with a twist, fusing comfort food with authentic Mexican fare in a unique way.
• We created one of the first breakfast burritos.
• Taco John’s introduced the Taco Burger.
• We dared to serve our signature Potato Olés® inside a Meat & Potato Burrito.
• Taco John’s pioneered the original Taco Tuesday®, and we offer popular meal deals like Six-Pack And A Pound®.
• We recently created TJ Baja Boneless Wings, combing the great flavor of Mexican inspired wings with the convenience of a drive-thru window.

 
Taco John’s offers a strong and comprehensive support program to its franchisees. Our Franchise Development Team provides real estate assessments, design and construction support and serves as a resource to help you through the entire restaurant development process.
 
Prior to opening, our Franchise Operations Team will provide a thorough training program designed to prepare you for the daily operation of your restaurant.

The Taco John’s Franchise Support Center is also available to facilitate purchasing and distribution; help with research and development of new products for the brand and local store marketing.
 
With an experienced management team, Taco John’s is poised for dramatic growth. We’ve introduced new, smaller footprint prototype layouts, new interior designs, new menu items and new advertising campaigns. We are actively seeking new franchisees to grow with our brand.
 
If you are looking for an original alternative to the standard QSR fare, and a brand poised to capitalize on the high growth Mexican category, Taco John’s is the opportunity for you.
