In Australia today, Taco Bill is synonymous with Mexican food as it is the longest established and most respected Mexican restaurant family in the country, having survived and prospered in the competitive hospitality industry for over thirty years. The company's beginnings were simple, with its founder (Taco) Bill Chilcote, coming to Australia in 1967 from the border of Mexico and California with just a corn grinder and a tortilla machine, with which he started producing tortillas and corn chips and opened the first Taco Bill Mexican restaurant on Queensland's Gold Coast and then proceeded south, opening firstly in Bondi, Sydney and next at Armadale in Melbourne.

Over the ensuing years, Taco Bill has created a menu which offers a wide variety of authentic and traditional Mexican cuisine that has truly developed a loyal and growing following in this country.

As Taco Bill's popularity increased, the company has attracted interest from many people wanting to establish their own Taco Bill businesses and thus, the current franchising network has developed. Taco Bill has maintained its market leadership status for over two decades by adhering to sound basic principles of providing its valued customers with interesting, high quality food, a fun atmosphere and excellent value for money. It will continue to do so in the future.

Is Taco Bill an American-owned company?
No. Taco Bill is a wholly-owned Australian company with no associations or affiliations with any overseas companies.

Does the Taco Bill company own all of the restaurants?
No. All of the restaurants are owned by franchisees, who often own the businesses in husband and wife partnerships or as private companies. Thus, Taco Bill is a franchised organisation. The owners of Taco Bill still own and operate their own Taco Bill franchise in South Melbourne.

Where do Taco Bill supplies come from?
Wherever possible the company buys its products locally and fresh. All of our meat, fruit, vegetables and dry goods are sourced locally and are fresh daily.

How Healthy is Taco Bill Food?
Tortillas are a staple food of Mexican cuisine and at Taco Bill we serve flour and corn tortillas both of which are natural products that are not in themselves fattening.
Most of our meals are served with fresh vegetables and the fat content is low.
However, the addition of cheese and sour cream does add to the calorie content of the food.
Shoud you be attempting to limit the amount of calories you intake, we suggest that you talk to our waitstaff who can work with you to meet your needs.

Take-Away

Taco Bill started in Australia as a "take-away food" business and has always offered take-away food for its customers who were unable to dine in the restaurant for any reason. Recently, we have increased our efforts in the marketing of our takeaway food and customers will soon notice the increased emphasis that Taco Bill is placing on our "food to go". All our restaurants offer a great range of take-away food.

Home Supplies

Increasingly, our customers who like to cook Mexican food at home ask us to supply them with ingredients for their home cooking requirements. As a result of increasing requests for our corn and flour tortillas, corn chips, taco sauces and cheese, Taco Bill now stocks adequate supplies of these products to meet our customer needs, as many of the products that we can offer are difficult to procure elsewhere. We even supply written cooking instructions for those customers in need of assistance. We're very helpful but, despite many requests, we can't give out our special Taco Bill recipes.
