Taco John's • 1969

A small taco stand in Cheyenne sparked a regional empire in 1969 when two businessmen bought the franchise rights and named it after its founder, John. The chain built its reputation on Potato Olés—crispy seasoned rounds that became a cult favorite across the Mountain West—alongside tacos and homemade tortilla chips. This Rock Springs outpost keeps the original bold fusion of American and Mexican flavors alive, serving the same craveable Olés that made Taco John's a Wyoming legend.
