The Taco 105 Franchise System Launch

When we first set out on our culinary journey, we never imagined the incredible path it would take us on. From a humble food truck to a thriving restaurant and now into the world of franchising, our story is one of resilience, creativity, and a love for community. The Taco 105 is not just about tacos. It is about passion, culture, and the memories created when people come together over great food. We are proud to introduce our franchise model, inviting others to join us in building something extraordinary.

Our Beginnings on Wheels

Our story began in 2018 with Chenza’s Cruzin Cuisine, our very first food truck. This venture was more than just a business idea. It was the spark that ignited our dream of sharing food with people in a way that felt approachable, exciting, and full of flavor. We were overwhelmed by the warm welcome we received from the Long Island community. With appearances on local radio, regular invitations to festivals, and countless opportunities to cater for birthdays, weddings, and private events, we quickly became a household name. That food truck represented freedom, creativity, and the chance to bring people together wherever we parked.

Facing the Challenge of 2020

Like so many small businesses, the year 2020 brought trials we never expected. The pandemic changed how people gathered and celebrated, and it forced us to make difficult decisions. We had to let go of our food truck business, which was heartbreaking after everything we had built. Yet even in that moment, we knew it was not the end of our story. We believed in the spirit of reinvention, and that belief kept us moving forward. We promised ourselves that one day we would return stronger, with an idea even bigger than before.

Reimagining Our Concept

By April of 2024, we realized that our vision had outgrown the Twisted Tacos name. We wanted something that captured both our history and our future. That is how The Taco 105 was born. The number 105 carries personal meaning, honoring the early days when we first ventured into the culinary world. To us, it represents the courage to start, the drive to grow, and the roots we will never forget.

The Taco 105 is more than a restaurant brand. It is a story that connects the energy of a food truck, the creativity of global taco flavors, and the stability of a permanent home. It blends tradition with innovation, always staying true to our mission of creating food that excites and satisfies.

Our Culinary Experience

At The Taco 105, our menu is a celebration of variety and culture. While tacos remain the heart of our concept, we also provide an abundance of options that make every visit an adventure. Guests can enjoy a classic taco one day, a loaded burrito the next, and a platter of empanadas or yuca balls for a special occasion. By offering both familiarity and surprise, we keep people coming back, eager to see what new flavors and combinations await them.

We believe food should be fun, delicious, and memorable. Every plate we serve is made with care, drawing inspiration from different culinary traditions while staying true to our signature style. This commitment to quality and creativity is what sets us apart and keeps our guests excited.

The Launch of Our Franchise

With the rebrand complete and our concept thriving, we knew the next step was to share The Taco 105 with others who share our passion. Our franchise model is designed to provide aspiring entrepreneurs with the opportunity to build their own success story under a brand that already has a proven history.

We are seeking franchisees who understand that food is not just about cooking, but about connection. It is about greeting every guest with a smile, crafting every dish with pride, and creating an atmosphere where people feel at home. Our franchise partners will benefit from our experience, our established brand, and our unwavering dedication to supporting them every step of the way.

Why Franchise with Us

Franchising with The Taco 105 is not simply a financial investment. It is a chance to be part of a journey that is rich with heart and meaning. We have taken the lessons from our food truck days, the challenges of the pandemic, and the excitement of opening a restaurant, and we have poured them into creating a model that works.

Our franchisees will gain access to our menu innovation, operational support, marketing strategies, and most importantly, the trust and recognition our brand has already earned. We want our partners to feel confident that when they open their doors, they are not starting from scratch. They are stepping into a story that already has momentum and a community that is eager to embrace them.

From the streets of Long Island to the town of Mattituck, and now into the world of franchising, The Taco 105 has always been about more than just tacos. It has been about people, perseverance, and the joy of creating something special. As we launch our franchise program, we invite others to join us in carrying this vision forward. Together, we can share the flavors, the stories, and the spirit of The Taco 105 with communities far and wide. This is more than a brand. This is a movement, and we are just getting started.
