Taco John's Celebrates 50 YearsIt all began in 1969 with one store in Cheyenne. Now, 50 years later, Taco John’s is serving guests from nearly 400 restaurants in 23 states. On Tuesday, Aug. 13, Taco John’s is celebrating its founding in 1969 by inviting  guests to enjoy its signature Beef Crispy Tacos for just 69 cents all day (limit 10 per customer). The goal is to sell half a million 69-cent Beef Crispy Tacos to Taco John’s fans system-wide.

“We know families come together and connect during Taco Tuesday dinner,” said Taco John’s CEO Jim Creel. “That’s why for decades we’ve offered great discounts on tacos on Taco Tuesday. It’s our way of enabling families to focus on each other and not worry about going over their budget.”
