Capital Tacos is opening in Raleigh after securing its franchise agreement for the state of North Carolina — the latest in a series of deals that have been expanding the footprint of the franchise across the country this past year.

"This truly feels like a full-circle moment," franchisee David Robertson said in a company press release. "Silvia (his wife) and I met working in a restaurant out in Las Vegas 30 years ago, and now, we're realizing a dream and opening one together. And doing so with a brand that values menu quality and guest experience as highly as Capital Tacos reaffirms that this shift in lifestyle is the right move to make."

Since launching its franchise program in early 2022, Capital Tacos has expanded far beyond its Tampa home base with brick-and-mortar restaurants open or under development in Atlanta, Charlotte, Denver, Tulsa, Nashville, New Jersey and Raleigh as well as markets throughout Florida, many of which have opened just in the past few months.

"After having just debuted our first corporate-owned location in Charlotte, it's incredible to see the fervor for the franchise materialize across North Carolina so quickly," Josh Luger, co-founder of Capital Tacos, said in the release. "Both David and Silvia will make wonderful additions to the Capital Tacos franchise community, and we can't wait to see them introduce some Tex-Mex #doneright to Raleigh in the near future."

Capital Tacos is seeking single-unit and multi-unit franchisees.
