The tiles are in, most of the kitchen equipment is installed and landscaping should be complete soon. The final touches are being put on a new Taco John's in Minden and the restaurant should be open by the end of the year.
The Taco John franchise is known for Taco Tuesdays, freshly made favorites like burritos, quesadillas and nachos, as well as Taco John's own self-serve salsa bar, Potato Olés and the Choco Taco.
"We're upscale to Taco Bell," said Minden store owner Paul Studebaker. "It's a West-Mex taste, slightly spicy. Everything's made fresh with custom spices, tomatoes, onions and peppers."
Studebaker expects to have good business in the location on Highway 395 next to McDonald's and across Highway 88 from Douglas High School.
"Taco John's does things different than a typical fast-food restaurant," said Studebaker. "It's a good addition to this area."
Taco John's is hiring. Call (775) 815-9998 for information.
