- Overview
Taco Time - Franchise
Taco Time has been named to Entrepreneur® magazine’s prestigious annual Franchise 500® list every year since 2006. Taco Time is a quick-service restaurant chain offering a tasty variety of freshly prepared, home-style, Mexican fare. No one takes more pride in the food they serve than we do at Taco Time restaurants. From humble beginnings in Eugene, Oregon back in 1959, the Taco Time restaurant chain has risen to its position today as the quality leader in the Mexican quick service restaurant franchise industry.
Our Product
We offer quality, fresh ingredients in large portions with a special blend of spices to create a unique flavor profile. While other Mexican quick service restaurants cut corners, we take the time to do it right. We use real aged cheddar cheese, boneless, skinless, all-white chicken, domestic lean ground beef, ripe tomatoes, tangy cilantro and juicy limes. Real ingredients make better food.
