Beloved Mexican quick service restaurant, TacoTime Canada, is excited to celebrate its 45th anniversary as an industry leader in quality service, ingredients and flavour. Since its inception in 1978, TacoTime Canada has captured the hearts and appetites of Canadians with its commitment to real, locally-sourced Canadian ingredients and authentic Mexican-inspired fare. As part of the anniversary celebrations, TacoTime Canada will host a nostalgic throwback to its roots with 99 cent tacos on October 4th for National Taco Day (Note: Limit 3 tacos per transaction. Beef/Veggie taco only. Available at participating locations. Pick up only.) – harkening back to the 1980s when tacos could be purchased for just under at dollar at every TacoTime grand opening.
From humble beginnings at its first Canadian franchise location in Lethbridge, Alberta, TacoTime Canada has grown to more than 125 locations from coast to coast, a testament to its dedication to providing a one-of-a-kind affordable taste experience. The original home of Taco Tuesday, TacoTime has since become an iconic Canadian brand that now serves over 2.5 million tacos and 3.2 million hand-rolled burritos annually, using all-Canadian ingredients. The brand’s commitment to quality extends to the wide-variety of menu items that are made fresh in-house daily, including its original recipe hot sauces, crispy taco shells, taco chips, proteins and edible salad bowls.
“TacoTime was founded with a belief that fresh, real ingredients make better food, and we are delighted to be commemorating 45 years of upholding this commitment to excellence in Canada,” says Wendy Derzai, Vice President of Taco Time Canada at MTY Food Group. “Our passion lies in bringing exceptional service and unbeatable taste to our customers, and that’s reflected in every bite. We use locally sourced Canadian ingredients and take pride in crafting every element of our menu with care, from our original recipe hot sauces to our hand-rolled Crisp Burritos and fan-favourite Mexi-Fries®.”
A legacy brand that has stood the test of time, even surviving the challenges of the recent pandemic with zero store closures, TacoTime has proven itself to be a Canadian favourite that is here to stay. This year’s forthcoming anniversary is poised to rekindle fond memories of TacoTime’s presence in the lives of Canadians over the last 45 years, reminding patrons of TacoTime Canada’s deep roots and a menu evolution that continues to pay homage to flavourful Mexican staples, while incorporating fresh new twists that keep customers coming back for more.
TacoTime Canada remains at the forefront of the quick service restaurant landscape and anticipates the opening of four new locations in 2023, alongside the renovation and updating of six existing locations by the end of the year. The brand’s dedication to staying competitive is also evident in its iconic promotions like Taco Tuesday and Burritoful Thursdays, offering unlimited $2 tacos on Tuesdays and BOGO half off burritos on Thursdays. TacoTime is expanding into Ontario and currently there are plans to open in Trenton and Welland. For more information about TacoTime Canada, please visit www.tacotimecanada.com
