Capital Tacos Partners with Make-A-Wish to Bring Child’s Culinary Dreams to Reality

Nationally-Acclaimed QSR Concept Launches Nationwide Campaign to Benefit Foundation

TAMPA BAY, Fla., June 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Capital Tacos, one of the nation’s most beloved Tex-Mex franchise brands, has announced a month-long campaign in partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation® running from June 5th to July 5th. During that window, Capital Tacos locations across Tampa and Orlando will introduce the Make-A-Wish Mac N Queso Kids Meal to the menu and donate 100% of the profits to support the wish-making efforts of the foundation.

“To be able to take part in such a meaningful, life-changing endeavor has been beyond rewarding for everyone here at Capital Tacos,” said Josh Luger, Co-Founder of Capital Tacos. “It’s a powerful reminder and reinforcement of our daily mission: to be an asset to the communities we serve, to be a family-friendly destination, and to drive connectivity through our passion for food and flavor.” 

At the heart of this partnership is a Wish Kid – ‘Chef’ Diego’ – who, after successfully undergoing treatment for a brain tumor, expressed his dream to meet one of America’s most recognizable and influential celebrity chefs. A wish that the Make-A-Wish team is gearing up to bring to fruition, and that compelled Capital Tacos to invite him to go behind-the-scenes with their culinary crew to craft the campaign’s menu special.

“We are delighted to partner with Capital Tacos to bring hope, strength, and joy to local children battling critical illnesses. Not only did they provide joy for wish kid Diego as he worked with the Capital Tacos team to create the Make-A-Wish Mac N Queso Kids Meal, but sales of that meal will go a long way in granting wishes like Diego’s. Thank you, Capital Tacos, for your incredible support.” – Anne Cuba, President & CEO of Make-A-Wish Central and Northern Florida.

The Make-A-Wish Mac N Queso Kids Meal features a never-before-seen Tex-Mex take on Mac N Cheese: with Capital Tacos signature queso leading a cheesy mix alongside freshly boiled noodles. Like all Capital Tacos kids’ meals, it will also come with a choice of side – hand-cut chips or hand-spiced fries – as well as mini churros with whipped cream for dessert and a fountain drink of choice.
