What Makes TacoTime an Affordable Franchise Opportunity?

With a low-cost investment, this beloved Mexican food franchise can offer huge returns in the form of world-class support and a proven business model

For entrepreneurs looking to start their first business, it doesn’t have to break the bank — contrary to popular belief. In fact, if you seek an affordable business in a fast-paced, dynamic industry, TacoTime™ Mexican food franchise can be a great fit.

The initial investment to open one of our Mexican food franchises ranges from $331,150 – $636,800, according to our most recent Franchise Disclosure Document. The reason we provide a range is because every market is different and items can vary in each one, including signage, rent, and more. However, the initial franchise fee is $30,000, and the franchise fee for multiple units may be discounted based on certain conditions and criteria.

The reason for TacoTime’s low cost of entry is simple: our buildout costs are substantially lower than other brands in the crowded Mexican QSR space. Ultimately, this allows TacoTime franchise owners a quicker ramp up time to allow for a potentially faster return on investment. Even better, our proven business model is simple to understand and easy to scale. With nearly 250 locations in the United States and Canada, our wildly popular Mexican food franchise is expanding outside our strong foothold in the Pacific Northwest and is ready to hit the national stage.

Bring a Premier Mexican QSR Franchise to Your Community

With a low initial investment, TacoTime can be a best-bet opportunity for new and experienced entrepreneurs to bring a rapidly expanding Mexican food franchise to countless communities that want their Mexican food served fast without sacrificing quality, freshness and taste. Founded in 1960, TacoTime has been serving fresh fast food since our inception. Sixty years later, we’ve since carved out our lane in the booming QSR industry and now boast nearly 250 locations throughout the nation and Canada.

How did we do it? With the belief that fresh, real ingredients make better food. This has earned us a cult-like following of loyal customers along the way who love our food. Our secret is serving affordable Mexican food with only the freshest ingredients. At TacoTime™, it’s all about the difference you can taste. This is why we offer an assortment of customizable tacos, burritos, salads, nachos and quesadillas.

The best part? Although TacoTime franchise owners and their employees cook and prepare many of our products in-house daily, entrepreneurs do not need any restaurant or cooking experience to franchise with us. Our beloved Mexican food franchise is led by the vision of industry-leading parent company Kahala Brands™, one of the fastest-growing franchise companies in the world.

Because of this powerhouse support, TacoTime offers franchise owners world-class training and ongoing support. Our comprehensive training platform includes everything from how to manage every aspect of your business, such as correctly preparing and serving the TacoTime products to your customers, to managing inventory, to operating your point of sale system and growing your business.
