    About Taco John's

    The story of Taco John's sounds more like a legend than the history of a business. In Cheyenne, Wyoming, a man named Juan opened a tiny taco house, serving uniquely seasoned and generously sized tacos and burritos. An immediate hit with the locals, the taco house was quickly purchased by local businessmen Harold Holmes and Jim Woodson in 1969. Renamed Taco John's, it began selling franchises right away and now has restaurants across America. The privately held company is still based in Cheyenne.

    About Yolandas Tacos

    Yolanda's Tacos is a fast-casual restaurant serving the traditional foods and salsas of Mexico. Our mouthwatering menu features fresh tacos, burritos, nachos, tostadas and more tasty Mexican favorites served with the Yolanda's experience. Founder Bob Walker met Yolanda Lopez of Jalisco, Mexico in Chula Vista, California during the summer of 1971. As they became friends, this retired lady took him, her 'gringo' son, aside and showed him how to prepare the traditional food and salsas of Mexico. In keeping with this tradition, Yolanda's tacos opened its first location in 1994 serving the fresh traditional food of Mexico daily.
