District Taco, the renowned fast-casual restaurant specializing in authentic Yucatán flavors, is expanding its presence in the Tri-State Area with the signing of two new leases in New Jersey. This expansion is part of a broader plan to open 20 new locations across the region. The brand’s growth trajectory continues with the upcoming openings of its new establishments at 2700 Hampton Boulevard in Norfolk, Virginia, and 1295 Hamburg Turnpike in Wayne, New Jersey, both set for the second quarter of the year.
The new Wayne outlet marks District Taco’s first foray into New Jersey, with additional locations slated for Union and Clark, aiming for completion by the third quarter. The company is also bolstering its presence in Virginia with a new site in Chesapeake and future plans for expansion into Loudoun and Prince William Counties. The strategy includes further growth targets in southeast Virginia and central Florida.
Osiris Hoil, Co-Founder and CEO of District Taco, expressed enthusiasm about the New Jersey expansion: “We’re excited to bring the flavors of District Taco to New Jersey as we expand our footprint. As we look to new markets, we’re seeking experienced franchise partners who share our passion for great food and our ambition to grow.”
Established in 2009 from a humble taco stand, District Taco has distinguished itself by offering a menu of fresh, daily-prepared authentic Yucatán flavors. The brand caters to a diverse clientele with its customizable menu options, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free choices, and an all-day breakfast.
Chris Medhurst, COO of District Taco, highlighted the brand’s operational philosophy: “We have a proven model that consumers embrace, and we have the tools in place to run a successful brand. Our recipe is simple: we focus on guest experience, continuous improvement, and staying current with technology.”
District Taco continues to seek franchise partners, especially those who are multi-unit operators or seasoned restaurant professionals with experience managing multiple locations.
