    About TacoTime

    Subsequent to moving on from the University of Oregon, Taco Time organizer Ron Fraedrick went gaga for the Mexican cooking he examined as he went all through Southern California. Choosing to convey back his freshly discovered taste to the place where he grew up of Eugene, Oregon, Fraedrick opened up the principal Taco Time eatery in 1959. Utilizing flavors Fraedrick made himself, the eatery sold more than 3,500 tacos in its opening end of the week. The organization opened its first establishment in 1961 and now has establishments in both unattached and express locales all through the United States and Canada and in addition in Japan and Kuwait. In 2000, the organization presented Brand Renaissance, which incorporates an office stylistic layout bundle and upgraded nourishment blend and bundling, as a restoration of the brand.
