Famous Taco is now never too far from wherever you are in Lansing.
“I think we’re going to be able to cover pretty much all of Lansing, east, west, south and north,” says Frank Delacruz, former owner and husband of current owner of Famous Taco.
The third location, which opened in November in
REO Town, has special meaning to the family, as the Washington Street storefront was the home of the very first restaurant Delacruz owned with his father in 1968, called “Acapulco.”
Like the other two Famous Taco locations, the new restaurant offers sit-down, takeout, delivery and catering. Though they are still working on building up their delivery business on the Southside, Delacruz is impressed with how quickly they developed a lunch crowd.
“It’s going good,” he says. “With all the people who work for the City and the Board of Water and Light and the GM plant, we have a super lunch.”
The new Famous Taco currently employs a staff of four. Delacruz says his wife Peggy is looking to continue their expansion with possible locations in Dewitt, Holt and Eaton Rapids.
