Overview
Americans spend an estimated $9.5 billion on Mexican food per year, making it the number one ethnic food segment in the industry. Interestingly, while the Mexican QSR category has grown, Taco Bueno has outperformed many competitors by a substantial margin. In fact, Taco Bueno has experienced a 30% three-year growth in comp sales with average unit sales of over $1.1MM. With performance such as this, it's easy to see why many consider Taco Bueno to be such a favorable investment opportunity.
Products & Services

Our goal has always been to provide the freshest quality food possible in a convenient, fast and affordable manner. This commitment to high quality makes Taco Bueno a better overall value versus category competitors because we put more effort into making many of our staples like tortilla chips, refried beans, guacamole and salsas fresh, in-store daily. We also season and cook our ground beef in-store instead of relying on pre-cooked alternatives.
We also offer delicious signature items exclusive to Taco Bueno like our Muchos Nachos™, MexiDips & Chips®, Bueno Chiladas®, Muchacos® and more. Our R&D team continually monitors industry trends, tests product concepts and introduces special, LTO items to keep our menu fresh and full of exciting choices.
