The rapidly-growing street-style taco brand, CaliTacos, announces multiple new locations in Arizona as it continues U.S. franchise expansion.
Phoenix, AZ (Restaurant News Release) CaliTacos, the fast-casual concept known for its authentic street-style tacos, Cali Fries, and energetic open-kitchen experience, is continuing its rapid growth across Arizona with the announcement of two newly signed franchise agreements and the recent opening of its Maryvale location.

“Our growth in Arizona has been incredible to watch and I could not be happier to be growing alongside each of our incredible franchisees,” said Fabian Ruiz, founder of CaliTacos. “With each new franchise partner, we’re building something special – not just expanding our footprint, but bringing amazing food and a strong sense of community to more neighborhoods. The interest we’re seeing shows that CaliTacos is truly gaining traction.”
