Capital Tacos Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2025

Background

Low Barrier of Entry In A Booming Industry: By focusing on what the guest cares about and leaving out the costly additions, Capital Tacos has a considerably low initial investment in the Tex-Mex restaurant space. Our investment starts at only $210K for a brick-and-mortar location, $221K for a static trailer, and $129K for an event trailer.

Noteworthy Economics: Our 2022 FDD shows $1.2M in Average Revenues with a Gross Profit of $940K across our corporate brick-and-mortar locations. We expect the fixed trailers to perform exceptionally well and can't wait to share those numbers during validation.

Multiple Business Models: At Capital Tacos, we offer Franchise Owners three different business models to operate. They can choose between a brick-and-mortar restaurant, a static trailer, or a mobile event trailer. The benefits of this flexibility mean different investment levels for Owners and the ability to build an empire of Capital Tacos in one area!

Authentic, Superior Product: Every item on our menu is made from scratch and grilled to order. From starters to munch on to award-winning flavor profiles and inventive meals that don't follow the rules, there is something for everyone at Capital Tacos.

Unique, Quirky Culture: At Capital Tacos, we like to have fun and break the rules while remaining authentic and genuine. Over the past few years, we have created a 'cult-like' following, partly because of the quirky authenticity of the brand that guests enjoy and want to be a part of. We offer a dining experience you can't find anywhere else, including chalk walls, old-fashioned pinball machines, bottle cap art, and even hanging chairs in the bathrooms.

All Star Support Team: While we might be new to franchising, our support team is not at all new to the industry. In fact, our Franchise Owners will be supported and mentored by a team of experts who have held roles at Krispy Kreme, Checkers, Cava, Chipotle, Taco Bell, and more!

It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
