Chorizo Fresh Mex vs Fuzzy's Taco Shop Franchise Comparison

What does fresh mean? Fresh is more than an adjective that describes your veggies, fresh is a philosophy.

At Chorizo, fresh is a way of life. We learned how to make Mexican food from the source. We spent weeks learning the trade in Mexico at local tacquierias, and realized that it was the fresh ingredients and passion for preparation that separated authentic Mexican tacos and burritos from their north-of-the-border counterparts. We made it our mission to bring to our customers only the freshest food, prepared each and every morning. Four different flavours of mouth-watering salsas, straight-from-the-avocado guacamole, crisp vegetables, and quality meats all combine to create an exemplary food experience. We know that once you try Chorizo you will realize what our customers have known since we wrapped our first burrito in 2005; that fresh is more than just a tagline. Why Partner With Us? We build better burritos! It's what we do at Chorizo Fresh Mex.

Founded in 2001 near the TCU campus in Fort Worth, the original Fuzzy's Taco Shop was purchased by Alan and Chuck Bush after just two years of operation. The father-son combination with a collective 20 years of restaurant industry experience initially took a slow, hands-on approach to running the business. They insisted on adhering to the promise: "To focus our full attention on promptly and efficiently providing our guests with generous helpings of uniquely flavorful foods at a fair price in a fun atmosphere." That promise remains central to the chain's success today as Fuzzy's Taco Shop expands across the country. Fuzzy's corporate-owned and franchise locations are now serving fresh, handmade Baja-style Mexican food in 79 stores across nine states, with many more on the way. Fuzzy's Taco Shop is a member of the International Franchise Association.
