Taco Bueno vs Qdoba Mexican Grill Franchise Comparison

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.

The fast casual franchise chosen by the world's toughest restaurant critics: Successful Franchisees. We've attracted successful multi-unit franchisees from such brands as Jack in the Box, Papa John's, Burger King, Sonic, Popeye's and Village Inn, as well as a former president of KFC and a former CEO of Church's and Rally's. Clearly, they know a winning system when they see it.
