Taco Box

Taco Box International was founded by Bill Crombie in El Paso, Texas in the mid 1960’s. Approximately 15 company owned and franchised Taco Box locations were opened in California, Texas and New Mexico between 1967 and 1970. Ron Dudas and Tom Martin were partners and bought the franchise for Farmington and opened in August of 1969. Ron operated the Farmington location and Tom purchased Taco Box in Clovis, NM. For various reasons, the parent company folded in 1971. Most of the original Taco Box units closed and now there remain only three, two from the original franchise (Clovis and Farmington), and one in Portales, New Mexico.
