History

Taco Time Corporate Office

Taco Time was founded by Ron Fraedrick, in 1959 in Eugene, Oregon. Fraedrick took out a second mortgage on his home and borrowed an additional $5,000 to get started. His idea for a walk-up taco stand near the university was very successful.

The first franchise was located in Tacoma, Washington, in 1962. Over the next decade, the company grew rapidly and by the end of the 1960s, there were 48 locations in 7 western states. Today, Taco Time has more than 300 franchised locations in the US, as well as international locations in Canada, Kuwait, and the Netherlands.

The company was purchased by Kahala Brands in 2003 and headquarters were moved to Scottsdale, Arizona.  Taco Time features the usual tacos and other Mexican-style foods, such as nachos, but the company also offers a unique crispy burrito and salads to its menu that most casual Mexican food chains do not offer.

In February 2023, Ontario, Canada’s, biggest Taco Time location closed permanently after 30 years in business. 

In June 2023, some Taco Time locations stopped accepting cash as a means of payment. 

Taco Tim maintains a corporate office in Scottsdale, Arizona.
