How much does a 5 Tacos and Beers franchise make?

5 Tacos and Beers is one of the franchisors that answers this on the record: its most recent FDD makes an Item 19 financial performance representation — actual unit earnings figures, disclosed by the franchisor itself. The headline figure did not machine-read cleanly from this filing, so we don't print one; Item 19 of the source FDD has the tables. See every quick-service restaurant brand that discloses earnings in the Fast food & quick-service restaurant franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.

5 Tacos and Beers franchise profit vs. revenue

Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come 5 Tacos and Beers's 1.5% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a 5 Tacos and Beers franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "5 Tacos and Beers franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure.

5 Tacos and Beers lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

We do not publish a litigation answer for 5 Tacos and Beers. Item 3 could not be read reliably from this particular filing, and a claim that a company has no legal history is not one to make on a failed parse — so we say we do not know instead. Item 3 of the FDD itself is the place to check; the methodology page explains what we do and do not machine-read.

5 Tacos and Beers closures & failure rate

Before you sign, 5 Tacos and Beers will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what 5 Tacos and Beers's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a quick-service restaurant of this kind.

The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. 5 Tacos and Beers's latest tables show a stable franchised network.

Who owns 5 Tacos and Beers?

5 Tacos and Beers's franchise is offered by 5 Tacos and Beers Franchising, LLC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at CA DFPI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.
