133 Aviator Dr, Fort Worth, TX 76179-5412
Public profile metrics.
Taco Casa Texas is a Fort Worth, Texas fast casual Mexican food franchisor headquartered at 133 Aviator Dr. Roy and Shelda Upshaw opened the first restaurant in Fort Worth in 1972 after leaving a Taco Bell franchise, originally operating as Taco Hut before renaming the brand Taco Casa and beginning franchising in 1984 around affordable Tex-Mex tacos, burritos and related plates for working families. Taco Casa Texas is the concept, and the company operates as its franchisor with nearly all locations franchised to local owner-operators. The footprint is South Central–focused across Texas–Oklahoma–Arkansas markets from the Fort Worth headquarters rather than a national multi-coast system. Restaurants are fast casual and serve lunch and dinner with a Mexican or Latin and burger-friendly menu of tacos, burritos and related value plates in a classic quick-casual setting. Typical units seat about 50 guests in roughly 1,500 square feet, suited to neighborhood and suburban Tex-Mex boxes with limited seating and strong carryout traffic.
