Taco Maker is a Mexican fast food franchise founded in Puerto Rico by Gil L. Craig in 1968.[1][2][3] The majority of the stores are in Puerto Rico with two locations in Florida (in Orlando and Kissimmee) and another in Caracas, Venezuela[4] and, formerly, in St. Thomas, United States Virgin Islands, India, Russia, Dominican Republic, and the Philippines. Taco Maker used to own two franchise locations in the American state of Rhode Island.[5] In 2006, FransGlobal bought the restaurant chain, along with its sister chains Jake's Over the Top and Mayan Jamma Juice.[6][7] In 2009, Taco Maker moved its headquarters to Central Florida but as of 2019, its website states its headquarters are in San Juan, Puerto Rico.[8]
