    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.

    About Chorizo Fresh Mex

    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.

The food is all prepared fresh in an exhibition style kitchen for guests to view. Our superior taste is built using charbroiled cooking with tender steak, marinated chicken breast, seasoned to perfection. Chorizo, slow cooked favourites like Carnitas (pork) and Barbacoa (beef), fresh produce and signature salsas for unique tastes.
