At Taco Ocho, we have three vegan brunch items in Flower Mound, Richardson, McKinney, and Frisco.

Taco Tuesday. It’s not a national holiday, because it happens weekly. But if it happened once a year it would totally be! Most mexican restaurants all over the country have some sort of taco special on Tuesday. And at Taco Ocho we totally have you covered on Taco Tuesday too at our locations in Richardson, Frisco and Flower Mound.

We get asked lots of times what a Torta is, and we tell our customers to think of it as a Mexican Sandwich or a taco in sandwich form. If you look up what a Torta is on Wikipedia it has a lot of different meanings depending on country. For example in Spain the word torta is used for sweet cakes. But in good old Mexico, a Torta is a Sandwich. Those are the Tortas we have at Taco Ocho. We sell Torta’s because they are a super good and really filling.

When I opened the third Taco Ocho in Flower Mound, I wanted to make sure we had a larger bar area. The other Taco Ocho’s, really don’t have a large bar area for customers just to come and relax and meet other locals.

So the bar idea worked out pretty well at Flower Mound, and we have regular customers that come in and it’s good to know these customers on a more personal level. It is nice to see them come in weekly.

Anyway if you have been to the Flower Mound store, you know we have a decent number of local craft beers on tap. Typically we have something from Deep Ellum, Revolver and Martin House as well as some other local favorites. We try to do our best representing the local breweries and featuring what customers like.

Vegan? We’ve got You Covered

When we opened the first Taco Ocho back in 2011 in Richardson, the plan was to only sell eight tacos, eight tortas, and eight tostadas. Hence the name “Taco Ocho”. Ocho, means eight in Spanish (for non spanish speakers).

On that original taco menu, we didn’t offer a single vegan or vegetarian taco. And it’s strange, because we had eight vegetarian tostadas on the menu when we first opened.

Unfortunately, Tostadas didn’t really sell too well, and at that same time we opened that first store in Richardson…..my son was getting married, and his fiance was really into eating vegan/vegetarian food (she still is). So on those slow days at the restaurant we started making some vegan/vegetarian tacos and testing them with staff and some customers that were regulars and they liked them!

What to ask Before placing a Catering Order - We have all been there before, you have to get that lunch catered for the office. Happens to all of us. Either you are having a client come to the office for a meeting...or you got one of those marathon meetings that stretches through the lunch time.
