A Fast-Casual QSR Concept by Fabio Viviani Hospitality for Elior North America

Taco Santo is where bold flavor meets high-speed campus life. A fast-casual Mexican street food concept built for students who crave real taste and real fun, Taco Santo is fresh, fiery, and totally unapologetic. Created by Fabio Viviani Hospitality in collaboration with Elior North America, this concept takes the vibrant energy of a taco stand and delivers it in a high-volume, high-impact QSR format made for colleges and universities.

The menu is built around street-style favorites that students already love, but done better, faster, and with more personality. Tacos come loaded on warm tortillas with fillings like grilled carne asada, chipotle chicken, slow-braised carnitas, chili-lime shrimp, crispy cauliflower, or black bean mash, finished with a variety of house toppings like roasted corn salsa, pickled onions, crema, shredded lettuce, queso fresco, and a rotating lineup of fiery salsas.

But it’s not just tacos. The full menu includes rice and salad bowls, loaded nachos, cheesy quesadillas, and crispy tortilla chips with zesty dips like salsa verde, creamy jalapeño, or smoky chipotle queso. There are sweet finishes too, like churro bites dusted in cinnamon sugar and dipped in warm chocolate sauce, giving students one more reason to come back.

Customization is at the heart of the experience. Students can build their own tacos or bowls, keep it simple, or stack on the flavor. It’s fast, it’s filling, and it’s always made-to-order, making Taco Santo perfect for lunch between classes, dinner on the go, or a late-night bite that doesn’t hold back.

The vibe is high-energy, colorful, and cool, think street food meets student life. The branding is playful, the service is efficient, and the line moves quick without sacrificing flavor. Whether students are regulars or first-timers, Taco Santo delivers a bold, consistent experience that keeps people talking.
