## Story

Taco Cabana announced that it is seeking experienced franchisees for multi-unit opportunities in new markets including Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Tennessee.

The San Antonio, Texas-based Mexican cuisine franchise currently operates more than 140 locations. This includes deep market penetration in Texas with locations in Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, El Paso, Houston, and San Antonio. But the company said it is now “well positioned for expansion into new markets across the country.”

“After 45 storied years building the Taco Cabana brand in Texas, we have the leadership and operational systems in place to deliver a nationwide franchising opportunity for passionate and experienced operators who want to introduce our acclaimed restaurant chain to their communities,” said Ulyses Camacho, president and chief operating officer of Taco Cabana. “This exciting step forward will expand our celebrated brand in key suburban markets outside the Lone Star State, while upholding the unmatched quality, value, menu offerings and overall guest experience that have defined Taco Cabana for nearly five decades.”

Taco Cabana locations are equipped with a drive-thru. Some of the franchise’s offerings include dozen breakfast taco boxes, street tacos, combo plates, burritos, margaritas made with real tequila and an under $5 value menu.

The company says its franchise program was built by franchisees, for franchisees – led by brand CEO and successful multi-brand franchisee Anil Yadav of YT-C Enterprises, LLC. Franchise opportunities are available to individual operators and territory exclusivity with franchise groups looking to introduce Taco Cabana to their communities.
