If you’re looking to join a taco restaurant franchise, it’s hard to go past Fuzzy’s. Why is that? Because we’re a taco franchise committed to providing a fantastic experience to every customer that strolls through our doors. How do we achieve this Baja-awesome experience?
Creating mouth-watering flavors will always be a number one priority. We’re serving up the best and freshest ingredients, accompanied by a huge selection of thirst-quenching beverages.

We’re incredibly proud of the laid-back, chill atmosphere at our restaurant, and we’ll never forget our roots: an affordable taco shop focused on flavors and providing space to gather with family and friends to kick back and catch up.
What sets us apart from other taco franchises? Duh, it’s us! The people you see at any Fuzzy’s Taco Shop are Fam. We know we’ve got some of the hardest working team members in the biz, and that makes all the difference.
Fuzzy’s might be a chain, but we know it’s the community around us that keeps us busy slinging tacos and serving up chill beverages. That’s why we’re committed to giving back to the local communities we’re a part of. Good vibes are at their best when they’re for a good cause, after all.
It’s as much about building community as it is about slinging seriously good tacos at Fuzzy’s. Every shop shows the personality of the locals that hang there - but don’t worry, the food is always out of this world.
While tacos are a way of life to many of us at Fuzzy’s, there are plenty of other reasons to open your own Fuzzy’s franchise.
Fuzzy’s is one of America’s fastest-growing taco franchises, with nearly 150 locations open to date. You’ll find Fuzzy’s in 18 states across the country, so no matter where you are located, there will be demand for an affordable and flavorful taco franchise.
Fuzzy’s is headed up by a team passionate about dishing out good vibes and stellar food. While you can count on the same commitment to chill vibes and quality flavors, each of our taco shop franchises is shaped by the locals who hang out there. We’re truly the taco shop around the corner, a base in the community for people to gather to celebrate or just kick back and hang out.
There are also two options for you if you’re interested in running a Fuzzy’s franchise. As well as our regular taco shop franchise option, you can open a Fuzzy’s Taco Shop Taqueria. This franchise format is the way to go if you’re operating in an urban location from a smaller-sized space – it is made for a 2,000 sq ft space, as opposed to the 3,500 sq ft a traditional Fuzzy’s occupies. The Taqueria franchise option comes with a focused menu and streamlined seating layout – that makes owning a Fuzzy’s franchise more accessible than ever. It’s perfect for more CBD areas with high walk-up traffic.
Fuzzy’s Taco Shop may have gotten its start in the college towns of Texas, but our expansion across the country has shown there is plenty of appetite for a restaurant that dishes out the goodness on the daily. With a unique voice and a product at a real chill price, there’s never been a better time to own one of the best taco franchises around.

A purist at heart, Patrick likes his tacos simple and his Beeritas frosty. As a rockin’ dad at heart, he likes his Metallica loud and his love of gaming with his kids even louder. In his own childhood, Patrick wanted to be a news anchor. Newsflash, he got his wish because now he’s holding it down as our fearless marketing leader and good vibes anchor. Part Trekkie, all awesome, our very own Captain Kirk boldly takes us to a better place where Reebok Pumps never went out of style while keeping us equally pumped to dish out the best tacos this side of anywhere. Vibe long and prosper, fam.
His name: Paul. His game: VP of Franchise Development. His other (but equally significant) game: going all in on Bacon, Egg & Cheese Tacos. As a kid, he dreamed of being both an Olympic champion and an astronaut. As an adult, he considers himself a champion of building pillow forts and UNO. Get yourself a Vice President who can do both—WHICH WE DID. Some say if you play “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley while saying “Paul” three times in front of a mirror, he appears out of nowhere. We will never give him up. We will never let him down.
