History

Established in 1968.

Taco John’s began as a small taco stand in Cheyenne, Wyoming in 1968. With its bold spices and tasty tacos, it was an instant hit. Two local businessmen, Harold Holmes and James Woodson, purchased the franchise rights in 1969 and named the restaurant after the man who opened the first store — John. The rest is history. Taco John’s restaurants began popping up across the Midwest, evolving to include drive-​thrus, interior seating and bold originals like Potato Olés® and Nachos Navidad®. We even coined the original Taco Tuesday® value day, dedicated to big flavor for a small price. Today Taco John’s operates and franchises more than 380 quick-​service restaurants in 27 states, making it one of the largest Mexican quick service restaurant brands in America. We continue to grow across the country, but some things will never change: our uncompromising standards of food quality, dedication to using real ingredients and signature bold flavors.
