Many details create a successful growing business, but most important will always be your people. It’s one thing to be a manager, but quite another to be a true leader.

In this episode of the Restaurant Rockstars Podcast, I’m speaking with Joe Kahn and Chris Artinian of Condado Tacos. The key to their success in growing to locations in 9 states and beyond is their company culture and how they lead. This company continues to recognize talent in their people, giving them rare opportunities to also become leaders that drive this brand forward.

Besides atmosphere and a highly successful concept based on Tacos, Tequila & Margaritas, listen as Chris and Joe share:

- Condado Taco’s powerful vision that never deviates from the core mission.
- The importance of an inclusive “come as you are” company culture.
- Why sourcing only, the freshest ingredients bring guests back again and again.
- Past and present challenges and the future of their operation
- The efficiencies and consistency of a common commissary kitchen
- Condado Taco’s winning marketing and loyalty strategy
- What’s on the menu including margaritas, and craft cocktails.

And of course, best practices from running a single store to growth in multiple states.

Watch or listen and then go out there and ROCK your own Restaurant!
