    About Taco Bueno

    In 1967, we opened our doors in Abilene, TX, to share fresh, authentic Mexican food. Now, almost 50 years later, while the other guys have turned to packaged and processed food, we’ve stayed true to our roots by crafting authentic recipes in each of our kitchens. Across more than 180 stores in 7 states, we do things the Bueno way, and our customers taste the difference.
    Taco Bueno is now offering a limited number of single and multi-unit franchises in select markets. For experienced operators seeking to develop a Legacy Brand as a new venture or to diversify an existing portfolio, Taco Bueno is a one-of-a-kind opportunity.
