Info

Taco Tico Inc. is a privately held franchise corporation based in Wichita, Kansas. Founded by Dan and Robin Foley in the early 1960s, Taco Tico is a unique network of independently franchised, quick service restaurants famous for high quality Mexican food and first rate service. A small storefront building in Wichita housed our first restaurant, which opened in 1962. Consumer support prompted the development of a company program that fostered growth and focused on specialization, fast service and quality control. This business plan grew into a practical franchise program. The first franchised restaurant opened in November 1967. In June 1988, the company was acquired by a group of investors headed by George Baker,the former president of Kentucky Fried Chicken. In July 1991, the company became a major franchisor with restaurants independently operated by franchise corporations doing business collectively as Taco Tico. Today, Taco Tico has restaurants throughout the Midwest and Southeast. Since its founding, Taco Tico has met the test of time and competition. From our modest beginning, we have grown into a well-known regional company in the U.S. food industry's Mexican food segment. Our successes are based on our drive to develop and maintain the highest ideals of teamwork and productivity in order to offer our customers the highest quality Mexican food, delivered with the best service possible.
