“As a new franchisee for Taco Time I would just like to express what a great experience it's been to work with both the Kahala and the Taco Time brand people. From site selection to construction to the extensive training, they make you feel like the only partner they have. I was very impressed with the time that was spent with me in Sioux Falls and at our restaurant. By the time they left I felt like I had been given all the tools that I would need to be successful.” - Jeff Davis, #6702 Sioux Falls, SD
“I started working at Taco Time in 1977 in a management position and was able to buy in as an owner several years later. I have felt a great support from other owners and the franchise president.
