Our Beginning

The Taco Time Story

Taco Time was born from a simple yet powerful belief: that taco time should be about more than a meal — it should be a moment of joy. Founded in Rock Springs, Wyoming, our restaurant started as a humble family kitchen with a dream to share bold, authentic flavors with the community.

Over the years, tacotime has grown into a beloved destination where quality ingredients, time-honored recipes, and genuine care for every guest define everything we do. From our hand-pressed tortillas to our house-made salsas, every detail reflects our deep respect for real food made with real heart.

Today, Taco Time serves thousands of loyal guests across the United States, and we remain as committed as ever to the values that started it all: freshness, community, and the pure pleasure of a great meal together.
