About the Franchise

Taco Bill is a Mexican & Tex‑Mex restaurant franchise known for its casual dine‑in experience, fresh tortillas, nachos, fajitas, burritos, and a wide range of margaritas and beverages.

The brand focuses on quality ingredients prepared daily, with fresh produce and imported spices to maintain authentic flavours, while offering vegetarian, vegan and gluten‑free options.

Taco Bill has more than 25 locations nationwide, each individually owned and operated under the franchising model.

They offer franchisees a proven, turn‑key operation with established recipes, vendor relationships (group purchasing), national marketing, ongoing training and operational support

How the Franchise Started?

Taco Bill is one of Australia’s longest‑established Mexican restaurant chains, founded in 1967 by Bill Chilcote, who migrated from the Mexico–California border and brought authentic Mexican recipes with him, launching the first Taco Bill on the Gold Coast.

At the time, there were virtually no Mexican restaurants in Australia, and Taco Bill pioneered dishes like tacos, enchiladas and fajitas for the local market.

In the early 1970s the first dine‑in restaurant opened in Melbourne, and over the next decades the brand expanded across Victoria and New South Wales, becoming a household name with a loyal customer base.

FAQs

Exact published figures from Taco Bill are not publicly listed on the franchisor site, but business listings for new Taco Bill franchise opportunities show purchase prices of around AUD $350,000 and above for a new restaurant opportunity in suburbs like Bundoora/Greensborough.

That cost typically covers leasehold interests, fit‑out, equipment, signage, and initial marketing / working capital. The final investment depends on venue size and market.
No specific prerequisite experience is stated publicly, but Taco Bill looks for franchisees passionate about Mexican food and providing excellent customer service.

Experience in hospitality or restaurant management can be advantageous given the dine‑in, beverage (including alcohol) service, and food preparation aspects of the business, but structured support and ongoing guidance are available.
Taco Bill provides ongoing training and assistance to ensure franchisees can operate successfully — far beyond just a marketing meeting.

Support includes operational guidance, vendor relationships (leveraging group purchasing), marketing strategy, and access to established brand systems and menu protocols.
