Mission Statement:


We want our customers to have a new view of the fast food experience with our fresh food, friendly employees, and our fast service. Our goal is to take the fast food industry to the next level, not only to please the customer, but to leave them with a fun and lasting impression while maintaining the appearance and cleanliness of the highest standards. Always, we take pride in preparing and serving you your meal as if you were making it yourself. We thank our loyal customers of the past, present and future and in turn will continue to give back to the community which has helped us over the years. Remember, the Taco Shack way is everyday.
 
Over 10 years ago, I started my first Taco Shack in Austin after pursuing the dream of having a family owned business since my high school years. Soon, my wife, Yoli, and I had a group of dedicated employees and several new “Shacks” to spread our great Tex-mex taste around Austin! Always, we appreciate your business and stop by if you’re in the neighborhood and say hello to our other family members. Sincerely, Orlando and Yoli Arriaga
