Our Story

It all started when two partners from Texas, way back in 1979, got the idea that the Mississippi Gulf Coast would appreciate having access to some quality, made-in-house, quick-service Mexican food.

Jimmie and Lynn made the 600’ish mile trip and opened the first Taco Sombrero on Pass Road in Gulfport with a wing, a prayer, and a lot of hard work. That was 1980. Couple years later they expanded by adding a second location to the then somewhat-remote area of Orange Grove on Hwy 49. The rest, as they say, is history.

In 2016 Taco Sombrero expanded by adding a second store in Biloxi, and in 2019 another store opened in Ocean Springs.

Currently there are three Mississippi Gulf Coast locations to serve you. Hope to see you at one of them real soon.
