    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 Bullritos

    Not just your average burrito joint. Inspired by the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, our unique bag'n'go philosophy paired with the highest quality ingredients, makes Bullritos a fresh & fun approach to burritos!
    Perhaps it was Founder Russell Ybarra's sprint with the bulls through the streets of Pamplona that inspired his "quick-casual" concept. Or maybe it was his passion for fresh Tex-Mex and quality ingredients that paved the way for his call-it-like-you-want-it, bull-themed burrito joint. Either way, his food-lovin' appetite for adventure led to the "Bullritos" concept, and a new era of burritos was born. Are your ready to grab this franchise by the horns? Bullritos is actively seeking fierce candidates with strong business and leadership skills in the food service industry to be account-a-bull for a Bullritos franchise.
