Tacotarian, a plant-based Mexican eatery known for serving vegan tacos, is launching a franchise program.

Founded in 2018 by two husband-and-wife teams, Kristen and Carlos Corral and Regina and Dan Simmons, Tacotarian started as a single location in Las Vegas and now has six locations and a nationwide grocery line.

"Franchising Tacotarian allows us to share our mission of saving the world one taco at a time — on a much larger scale," Regina Simmons said in a company press release. "We're excited to partner with driven entrepreneurs who are passionate about food and community."

She said franchisees will benefit from a proven brand, innovative menu, comprehensive training, marketing support and a scalable operational model.

Thetotal investment is between $352,200 and $709,200, including a $40,000 franchise fee.

"We started Tacotarian with a simple idea: to make plant-based food exciting. Franchising allows us to grow that vision beyond our cities and empower other entrepreneurs. It's more than tacos, it's a movement," Carlos Corral said in the release.
