Our story
The idea for Pronto Taco started in Indianapolis in 2015 with a simple question. Could tacos cooked fresh and hot off the grill still move fast for customers? What started as a solo taco box delivery concept evolved into an Indianapolis food truck, then a high-volume catering operation, then a fast carry-out taco shop in Beech Grove.
Today, Pronto Taco serves tacos faster than most fast-casual chains while staying focused on fresh cooking, hospitality, and operational consistency. We cater corporate lunches, weddings, conventions, and private events through our food truck, taco bar catering, and burrito bag catering while also serving guests daily from our Beech Grove taco shop.

One taco at a time
In the beginning, we taught ourselves how tacos could move faster without sacrificing consistency or hospitality. We tested delivery routes, office catering, taco box packaging, ticket timing, and service flow in real environments across Indianapolis. We learned what slows kitchens down, what travels well, and what actually works best for guests during busy lunch breaks, corporate meetings, and large events.
Those early lessons shaped the foundation that eventually became Pronto Taco.
Before the food truck
Before Pronto Taco launched, we got in the food business with our concept Tacos Tomorrow. Those years helped us learn catering logistics, food packaging, delivery timing, hospitality, workflow, and how to build systems that could hold up under pressure.
Before the truck existed, the system was already forming through taco box catering and office lunch deliveries across Indianapolis. At the time, many office lunches looked the same. Cold sandwiches. Pizza. We believed tacos cooked hot and packed correctly could create a better experience for teams and guests.
Those early catering runs became operational training. We learned how to stage prep, package food, communicate clearly with organizers, and keep orders moving under strict schedules. Once we learned enough and validated the flavor, logistics, and service, we moved on to launching the Pronto Taco food truck.
Food truck pressure made us better, faster
The food truck changed the pace completely. Space became tighter, ticket times became visible, and every movement mattered. We leaned into the pressure instead of fighting it by focusing on operational simplicity and order speed. We defined roles and positions for a cross-functional team who could jump on any station to fulfill orders.
Over time, the truck became known for speed and consistency at events across Indianapolis. Guests moved through the line quickly, organizers stayed on schedule, and the food truck clarified the identity of Pronto Taco. Fast does not mean rushed. Fast means prepared.
What we built along the way with our customers
Corporate lunches, conventions, weddings, neighborhoods, and private catering all helped shape the business into what it is today. Growth came from repetition, consistency, and operational discipline. One event at a time. One guest at a time. One taco at a time.

Why we opened a taco shop in Beech Grove
Pronto Taco’s food truck is primarily reserved for catering events and private bookings across Indianapolis and central Indiana. Rarely is the truck parked on a corner or operating at public events, so guests kept asking the same question over the years. “Where can we get these tacos?”
Opening a carry-out taco shop in Beech Grove became the answer. It created a consistent place for guests to order carry-out tacos, chips and salsa, and taco shop exclusives like burritos, queso, breakfast tacos, and breakfast burritos while the food truck continues focusing on catering and high-volume events.
