America's Taco Shop - Franchise
The Brand
America's Taco Shop is bringing the flavors of an authentic taqueria experience to a new generation of guests. We're unlike your typical fast casual restaurant. Yes, we're fanatics about the quality of our food, but it's our authenticity that makes diners know they've just experienced something remarkable - generations of tradition in every bite.
The Food
You're not going to find our recipes in a cook book! The menu at America's Taco Shop® features family recipes straight from Culiacan, Sinaloa in Central Mexico. Our products are prepared daily using only authentic spices, fresh ingredients and premium products. We think there's something to be said for real food and we take great pride in serving fresh and authentic meals prepared with regional spices and marinades.
The Ownership Experience
Kahala, franchisor of America's Taco Shop, is proud of the extensive support provided to our franchisees. Our dedicated team will assist you with important pre-opening steps such as site selection, design and construction, as well as a grand opening plan. Our established operating system and industry experience enables us to keep the cost of entry and operating costs as low as possible.
