About Wahoo's Fish Taco's

In 1988, the Wahoo brothers decided to import the fish taco to Orange County, California, and give it a unique twist. They combined the fish taco with their Brazilian favorites and Asian inspired items. The brothers decorated the original restaurant with the donations of near-by surf companies and that's how Wahoo's Fish Taco was born. Wahoo's then quickly developed a loyal and steady following, to where some locals came in daily and servers automatically knew what their customer would order. In 1990, Steve Karfaridis, joined as a partner and the one location in Costa Mesa rapidly developed into multi-locations in Laguna Beach and Huntington Beach. Today you will find over 50 locations of Wahoo's all throughout California and Colorado, including Texas and Hawaii. We are looking for franchisees who have the experience and financial resources to develop an area of at least 3-5 stores.
Wahoo's Fish Taco's initial franchise fee is $35,000 (and just $27,5000 for each additional store)

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. If you've eaten at Chorizo Fresh Mex, you know what sets us apart from the competition: No Microwaves, No Heat Lamps, and No Freezers.Chorizo Fresh Mex pioneered the quick casual Mexican segment with the introduction of fresh, quality ingredients, with classic Mexican recipes.
