Capital Tacos partners with Make-A-Wish Foundation

June 7, 2023

Capital Tacos has announced a partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation from now until July 5. The brand's restaurants in Tampa and Orlando, Florida, will introduce the Make-A-Wish Mac N Queso Kids Meal and will donate 100% of the profits to Make-A-Wish, according to a press release.

"To be able to take part in such a meaningful, life-changing endeavor has been beyond rewarding for everyone here at Capital Tacos," Josh Luger, co-founder of Capital Tacos, said in the press release. "It's a powerful reminder and reinforcement of our daily mission: to be an asset to the communities we serve, to be a family-friendly destination, and to drive connectivity through our passion for food and flavor."

At the heart of this partnership is a Wish Kid — "Chef" Diego –— who, after successfully undergoing treatment for a brain tumor, expressed his dream to meet one of America's celebrity chefs. Capital Tacos has invited him to go behind-the-scenes with their culinary crew to craft the campaign's menu special.

"We are delighted to partner with Capital Tacos to bring hope, strength and joy to local children battling critical illnesses. Not only did they provide joy for wish kid Diego as he worked with the Capital Tacos team to create the Make-A-Wish Mac N Queso Kids Meal, but sales of that meal will go a long way in granting wishes like Diego's. Thank you, Capital Tacos, for your incredible support," Anne Cuba, president and CEO of Make-A-Wish Central and Northern Florida, said in the press release.
