R Taco has partnered with JJ&D Enterprises to open four locations in Albuquerque and Las Cruces, New Mexico, over the next four years.
"I stumbled upon R Taco when visiting Dallas four years ago. Since then I’ve made it a point to dine there on every visit," Justin Hall, owner of JJ&D Enterprises, said in a company press release. "It was during a visit to Denver that I realized R Taco was a franchise and knew immediately I had to bring this amazing concept to Albuquerque, New Mexico. My partners and I couldn’t be more excited to make this dream a reality."
JJ&D Enterprises is operated by Hall, Jason Bowles and Dylan Kennedy.
"We are thrilled to welcome Justin, Jason and Dylan to our growing franchise family as we continue to bring R Taco to new markets," said Tom Berzinski, vice president, managing director, R Taco, in the release.
Launched in Dallas in 2010, as Rusty Taco and named for co-founder Rusty Fenton, the company shortened its name in 2015 to R Taco to provide broader appeal as the concept continues to expand beyond its Dallas roots.
