ABOUT TACO JOHN'S INTERNATIONAL

Starting as a small taco stand in Cheyenne, WY back in 1968, our one-of-a-kind tacos and other bold flavors were an instant hit in the community. Ever since that first taco stand, we have been all about bringing the flavor, from handmade salsa to our classic Crispy Tacos! Today, we operate and franchise nearly 400 restaurants in 23 states – making it one of the largest Mexican quick-service restaurant brands in America. Ever heard of the iconic Taco Tuesday? We started it!

We continue to grow across the country – but some things never change. Like our uncompromising standards of food quality and customer service. That commitment starts with our team. Our team is the heart of our success—preparing delicious meals and creating positive experiences for every guest.
