What’s the Best Mexican QSR Franchise Opportunity?

Stand out in a crowded segment

The Mexican food QSR segment may be booming, but it’s also highly competitive. This is why Independent Taco stands out among the rest by focusing on mouthwatering street tacos and an extensive menu filled with fresh ingredients.

It seems every Mexican food QSR franchise offers the same products with slight variations. It’s a world of sameness in which customers can’t distinguish between menus. That’s why Independent Taco, a fresh new take on Mexican food favorites, is a great way to stand out in a crowded segment.

We like to stand out

According to IBIS World, Americans have grown increasingly fond of Mexican cuisine, which has now blossomed into a $55 billion a year industry. Indeed, it seems you can find a Mexican spot on every street corner in America. But the traditional Mexican franchises have menus that pretty much offer the same exact food, just under a different name.

The restaurant industry, of course, has always been highly competitive. Companies are constantly seeking the competitive advantage by product diversification.

Independent Taco is a fast-casual, build your own taco and burrito shop, which serves a variety of street tacos, burritos, bowls, and walking tacos – with a major emphasis on serving only fresh and quality ingredients made on-site daily.

Our fast-casual concept hits on what Americans want – a healthy, high-quality meal that’s offered in a comfortable, social dining experience, somewhere in between fast food and casual dining. Indeed, a report from QSR Magazine stated that although the Mexican food market is competitive overall, the Mexican fast-casual segment is “virtually wide open.”

Bringing Independent Taco to your neighborhood

The first Independent Taco opened in January 2020 in Grove City, Pennsylvania. Now, Independent Taco is looking for excited, motivated entrepreneurs that want to build a brand that customers love and is in high demand.

Our secret to success is offering foods you just won’t find at your typical Mexican chain food restaurant. Our street tacos, for instance, just defy expectations – packed with great flavor and oh so many options for fillings.

On top of the staples like grilled chicken and taco beef, you can fill your street taco or top your salad with shredded barbacoa, carnitas, grilled shrimp, or fiesta mushrooms. We also offer fresh guacamole, savory queso dip, cilantro lime rice, and freshly made tortillas.

Did we mention our extensive list of sauces and salsa? From pineapple salsa, Sriracha ranch, chipotle sour cream, cilantro lime hot sauce and mango habanero, the combinations on our menu are truly endless, which keeps customers coming back for more. And, we’re proud to build a reputation on having the freshest and highest quality ingredients around. You just won’t find that level of quality at your same old Mexican fast food spot.
