After 42 years of serving up his infamous Mexican delicacies at Lansing’s
Famous Taco, Frank Delacruz is happy to have a wife who is ready to take the reigns.
“I’m retired and she took over the business,” Delacruz says of his wife Peggy. “I just tag along now. She’s got all these ideas and she’s going to put them to work.”
What he’s been tagging along to lately is the opening of a second Famous Taco in the
Haslett Village Square. Work on the 1,500 square foot property is now underway. The Delacruz’s plan to employ 15-20 new workers at the location and hope to open mid-April in time for possible Cinco de Mayo celebration.
“[Peggy] has been looking at Haslett since the ‘90s,” said Delacruz, “We’ve had a lot of people asking us to come there.”
The second location will feature dine-in and carry-out and expand the Famous Taco delivery into
Williamston.
In addition to the new restaurant, Delacruz explains that Peggy also has plans to expand the company’s catering capabilities. Customers will soon be able to have a catered Famous Taco meal prepared and served on site under a forthcoming taco bar tent.
“This is one of the best ideas she’s come up with so far,” Delacruz says.
