We use those same recipes to bring the authentic taqueria to any town. We’re not buying into the “American-ization” of Mexican food, that’s just not what we do. We’re all about offering customers real food, with real ingredients. America’s Taco Shop is led by entrepreneurial industry leader, Kahala – one of the fastest growing franchise companies in the world.
