How to Start a Mexican Restaurant

Approximately 35% of businesses today come from the foodservice segment. Take McDonald?s for example. Approximately 1 new McDonald?s franchise outlet opens every 8 hours globally. However, despite this fact, studies show that no single food service captures 100% of the market.

Experts also agree that if you manage to capture at least 10%, you?ll be on higher grounds. And so why not join the bandwagon!

Consumers today are busier more than ever. They are looking for nutritious meals that are prepared fast, tasty, and are enjoyable. And they don’t want to do dishes after. Why not try opening a Mexican restaurant business as part of a solution!

Spanish-based cuisine with corn-based dishes topped with chili, herbs, and beans can be an attractive menu for consumers. Why not add a cheese quesadilla and a taco bar to go along with it? Now that’s what I call a Mexican meal. So how do you start opening a Mexican restaurant business, here are a few simple guidelines?

Decide what you want to serve. What type of food works for you? Do you support your own menu? Don’t try to bombard your menu with several types of Mexican meals instead focus on 7 to10 meals where customers can associate your restaurant with. Develop a menu that makes you money. Create a delicious menu.
Talk to a real estate agent who is more than willing to help you solve your location concerns. You want a location that’s visible and easy to drive in. Factor in also the traffic on that area.
Find an expert who can help you get a business license and coach you on how to organize your legal papers as well. Cover your ass and get insurance. Get the ones that are necessary which can help you get out of a rut in the future.
Determine as well what type of beverages your business will serve. Are you serving alcohol? Is it beer or wine or maybe both? Maybe you prefer to stick with the regular sodas and different juices? If you do decide to serve alcohol, remember there are different licenses for that too!
A business license to operate a restaurant may not be enough to get you started. Often there are other health code requirements in opening a restaurant like sanitary permits and proper food handling procedures. Find an expert who can help you in this area too. You may want to search the web or even call the Department of Health for it.
You may want to hire both an architect and a contractor for your restaurant remodeling plans. Have a space design for your restaurant entrance, restrooms, kitchens as well as your table and parking areas. Consider also environmental factors like lighting, music, plumbing, electrical, air conditioning, and cleanliness.
Learn to advertise your restaurant well. You may want to hire someone to help you with this. There are several ways to do this from streamers to posters, to radio and new ads, to even by word of mouth.
You might want to learn how to cook Mexican food yourself. It will be good for your personal development and business.

Finally, as a business, emphasize quality service in your restaurants. According to experts, most businesses fail because of two things. First is poor service. Your menu might be great but poor service will stop a patron from coming back. So as a starting Mexican restaurant owner, remember this important element in operating your establishment. The second thing is cleanliness. It won’t hurt if you clean the walls, the stove as well as under the stove, under your sinks which are full of grease, and your clogged toilets in your restrooms. For goodness sake, it’s a place to eat! What an awful experience will it be to have your customers find spots on your utensils, complain about the feeling of stickiness on your floors, and ask for soap because your soap dispensers run out?

Wow... does all Mexican food suck outside California? I grew up on Orange County and now live in Santa Fe, New Mexico... the Mexican food here is terrible!
susana said on September 8, 2009
it doesn't even matter where in the US you live. all "mexican" food sucks in U.S. You actually have to go to Mexico and then you will see what a real mexican meal taste like.

My dad and i considered opening up a restaurant in San Diego named Berto's (since the majority of restaurants are robertos, meribertos, albertos, etc. a bertos would simplify things) now i live in the middle of missouri and know if i could get a business started it would make a killing! (missouri has the worst mexican food i've ever had)

My Grandparents had a Mexican restaurant and closed it in the early 90's and i plan to reopen it someday but obstacles keep getting in the way especially money. Does anyone know how i can get some help as far as how much it would cost to start off? We have good Mexican food here in Yuma, Az. but nothing compares to my Grandparents and I want to bring their food back.

Dont cry kids!! mexican food all over the states sucks!. Than mix of ingredients is far away from real mexican food. No burritos, no asada, no fresh salads!!!... MOLE, ARROZ, FRIJOLES, SOPAS, POLLO Y BISTEK... those are real mexican food and you will take a long search to taste a real mexican flavor... wish to be able to open a mexican restaurant in the states... I use to have one in mexico city.

Mexicana in Brazil said on March 24, 2010
HOLA AMIGOS, We are a mexican and brasilian couple starting a mexican restaurant business in Salvador, Brazil. As a mexican I feel frustrated about the food they served here is not close not even a bit to mexican nor american-mexican food. The main problem we have is find the best way to adapt to the local taste but without loosing the real mexican flavors. I will appreciate if you can send me some material about entering a new markets as a restaurant owner. We basically have the place, the loan from the bank, just need to finish the menu (simple and tasty, not too complicated) and focus on decoration, that by the way is my favorite part. Thanks and good luck to everyone

Hi every body...I am a Mexican guy who would like to associate with someone how pretend to set a Mexican restaurant. I can make the very best taco ever made with fresh ingredients and traditional recipes. I have been perfecting the mexican taco for 2 years from now. I use the best meat you can get (Sonora state meat) the best chesse and hand make tortillas made with nixtamal. It would be a success if we set this restaurant in someplace where people can not get the real mexican flavor. Please feel free to contact me for more information at amgine42@hotmail.com

Albert Garzon said on November 12, 2011
I would have to say the best advice I could give since im about to open my 4th location in the San Diego area is your cooks... Probably the 2nd best advice would be your location next to a high school with alot of families that are near by as well..Starting off small is ALWAYS best that way you get to learn the business and just in case it doesnt work out you could always sell it or get a bigger one... And also just as important is friendly help...Look us up on facebook at Alberts Mexican Food... Hope this helps someone... Good Luck, Albert

Does anyone know of a place/school that teaches you how to make Carne Asada (Taqueria style)? Or maybe share some recipes (spices and marinade) to try out? I want to open a Taco and Burrito shop in the Netherlands. Most Mexican food there is not really Mexican at all, I would love to bring at taste of home there... I grew up across Mexicali, so I know what good carne asada taste like. I can grill my own and it's good but not as good as the taquerias (they must have secrets =P). I can serve what I know in the Netherlands and it would be good, but I don't want it to just be good... I want it to be great! Your replies are much appreciated =)

Hello, I am looking to open up a taco stand across from a community college. the location I am looking to buy has gone through several businesses in the past several years. I am a little nervous with that history, but I feel that a taco stand/restaurant would be a hit. I am Mexican and I agree that there are very few good Mexican restaurants in southern california. I don't know how to cook but my wife does and I'm a fast learner. We need some help with good salsa recipes and especially an authentic al pastor recipe (rotisseria, not pan fried). Any comments or ideas welcome. Please.

Hi, I have a restaurant that my grandma owns who is getting pretty old and I plan on taking over soon. I would like to franchise it out and open one up in San Diego; preferably downtown. I have an investor and would like to know the prices for which it would cost to open and run a restaurant in the Gaslamp district, and any helpful tips for an area like that. Thanks, Andrew G.

Hi, I want to open a Mexican restaurant in Asia. There are very little Mexican food here and the few that are here all suck. I want to make authentic-style menu, that way it will be popular and make a lot of money. I want to start small, then open up several more Mexican restaurants in different heavily-populated areas to earn more revenues. I would like to buy a Ferrari and Lamborghini.
