TaKorean - Korean Taco Grill

A Different Take on Tacos

TaKorean is inspired by Korean flavors and Latin street food. It serves up made-to-order tacos, and rice or slaw bowls bursting with vibrant, fresh flavors in an appealing, modern space. A TaKorean franchise provides a time-tested system that is simple, streamlined and consistently delivers great food, great hospitality and great numbers.

With a deep love and appreciation for food, founder and CEO Michael Lenard, opened TaKorean in August 2010 out of a 1985 Ford step van that he converted to a food truck. A native of Washington, DC, Lenard is determined to provide healthy, well-balanced meals at a reasonable price to his fellow Washingtonians. Now you can bring a TaKorean franchise to your neighborhood and build an exciting business for yourself.

TaKorean is founded and led by a diverse team with over 60 years of food service experience, and 18 years combined leading TaKorean.
