    About Taco Palace

    Husband-and-wife team Larry and Sandi Faria bought Taco Palace from Kirk Davison in 1985. The Farias had previously owned a pair of Chevron Oil Co. franchises and brought to Taco Palace 16 years of franchise experience. In developing Taco Palace's franchise program, the Farias were driven by the goal to develop a franchisee-friendly system. Taco Palace franchisees are not required to pay a franchise fee and are strongly encouraged to rent or lease an existing building and then dress it up, rather than construct a new one, a practice that helps to lessen start-up costs. The privately held company is headquartered in Monett, Missouri, and has a co-branding relationship with Kentucky Fried Chicken.

    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.
