Taco Time Northwest


Taco Time Northwest is a fast-food restaurant chain with over 70 locations in western and central Washington state.

History

The first Taco Time opened in Eugene, Oregon in 1961. The following year, Frank Tonkin, Sr., opened the restaurant's first Washington location in White Center.
In 1979, the Tonkin family's restaurants became independent of the parent company, leading to the establishment of Accord Inc. to franchise restaurants in western Washington. The Taco Time restaurants located in eastern Washington and Oregon remained with the original corporation.

Locations

Taco Time Northwest has 79 restaurants located across Western Washington, primarily centered in the Seattle metropolitan area, and three stores located in eastern Washington. From 2012 to 2016, the company also operated a food truck called the Taco Time Traveler, which offered a limited menu at Downtown Seattle stops during the weekday lunch hour and catered community and private events on the weekend.
