Tacotarian, the award-winning, plant-based Mexican eatery renowned for offering the largest selection of vegan tacos “in the universe,” is excited to announce the launch of its franchise program. The program invites passionate entrepreneurs to bring the Tacotarian experience to communities across the United States.
Founded in 2018 by two husband-and-wife teams – Kristen & Carlos Corral and Regina & Dan Simmons—Tacotarian was born from a shared love of tacos, vibrant community, and inclusive dining for all eaters, whether vegan, flexitarian, or simply taco-obsessed. What started as one colorful location in Las Vegas has grown into a cult-favorite brand with six locations across Las Vegas and San Diego, a nationwide grocery line, national media recognition, and a fiercely loyal fanbase.
Recently honored as the SBA 2025 Small Business Persons of the Year for Nevada, Tacotarian’s founders continue to earn recognition for their impact and leadership in the plant-based food space. The brand has received accolades such as Best Vegan Taqueria in the U.S. by VegNews, NRN’s 2024 Breakout Brands, QSR Magazine’s 40/40 list, and Yelp’s Top 100 Taco Spots in America, as well as Las Vegas Weekly’s Best of Vegas.
“Franchising Tacotarian allows us to share our mission of saving the world one taco at a time—on a much larger scale,” said co-founder Regina Simmons. “We’re excited to connect with driven entrepreneurs who are passionate about food, community, and meaningful impact.”
The Tacotarian franchise model offers a powerful entry point into the rapidly growing plant-based fast-casual dining sector. Franchisees will gain access to a well-established brand, a bold and innovative menu, comprehensive training, marketing support, and a scalable operational system designed for success.

“We started Tacotarian with one simple goal: to make plant-based food exciting,” added co-founder Carlos Corral. “Franchising allows us to grow that vision beyond our cities and empower other entrepreneurs. It’s more than tacos—it’s a movement.”
