The Super Mighty, El Niño Burrito, Roastitios and Buffitos are signature products of Mighty Taco.[3][4][5][6] Other menu items include tacos, burritos, fajitas and nachos, as well as vegetarian and meatless options.[6][7] HistoryThe first Mighty Taco opened at 1247 Hertel Avenue in Buffalo, NY on August 31, 1973. There were four owners: Dan Scepkowski, Andy Gerovac, Ken Koczur and Bruce Robertson. Dan Scepkowski is the current owner of the company, having bought out the other founders. As of October 2018, Mighty Taco has 21 locations throughout the Western New York region.[8] Mighty Taco opened its first restaurant in the Rochester, NY area in April 2012, the second location outside the Buffalo market, the first one outside the Buffalo market since the closure of the Fredonia, NY location in 2003. On June 16, 2014 the second Rochester area location opened in Greece. The Greece location is closed as of July 10, 2017. The Henrietta location is closed as of October 1, 2018.[9] On January 25, 2016 the first Mighty Taco in the Syracuse area opened up in Cicero. The Cicero location is closed as of December 30, 2016.[10] On August 31, 2013, Mighty Taco marked its 40th anniversary. FareChow Down ordering serviceOn October 25, 2010, Mighty Taco began offering an online ordering service called "Chow Down", shipping Mighty Taco Beef and Cheese, or Bean and Cheese Burritos, to anywhere in the United States.[11] This serves as a national catering service that ships the restaurant's food in bulk orders.[12] AdvertisingMighty Taco is known for having unusual, somewhat surreal TV advertisements, created by Paragon Advertising (which went out of business in 2015).[13][14] Several of these commercials are also designed to be permissible on commercial-free public television stations, and WNED-TV airs the advertisements when promoting Mighty Taco as a supporter. Their radio advertisements are usually parodies of popular culture, such as prescription drug commercials, with a non sequitur at the end of the commercial directing listeners to Mighty Taco.[15] In April 2014, Mighty Taco earned international notoriety for their advertising campaign banning Russian President Vladimir Putin from the chain.[16] References1. ^{{cite web|last=Deluca |first=Michele |url=http://niagara-gazette.com/features/x1221292562/Islanders-storm-Mighty-Taco-s-grand-opening |title=Islanders storm Mighty Taco’s grand opening » Features |publisher=Niagara Gazette |date= |accessdate=January 7, 2012}} 2. ^{{cite book | last=Pedersen | first=L. | title=Buffalo Unbound: A Celebration | publisher=Fulcrum Publishing | year=2010 | isbn=978-1-55591-787-6 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PxCpDQAAQBAJ&pg=PT15 | language=it | access-date=December 5, 2017 | page=15}} 3. ^{{cite web | title=Putin Banned From Taco Restaurant | website=HuffPost | date=April 4, 2014 | url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/04/putin-banned-taco-restaurant-_n_5091560.html | access-date=December 5, 2017}} 4. ^{{cite book | last=Cady | first=B. | last2=Lewis | first2=J. | last3=Pecsenye | first3=J. | last4=Conlan | first4=B. | title=University of New Hampshire College Prowler Off the Record | publisher=College Prowler | series=College Prowler off the Record Guides | year=2005 | isbn=978-1-59658-168-5 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Oa1MCwYB2X0C&pg=PA47 | access-date=December 5, 2017 | page=47}} 5. ^{{cite web | last=Fagenson | first=Zachary | title=Rochester NY: Fried Comfort Food and Friendly Folks Galore | website=New Times Broward-Palm Beach | date=April 2, 2013 | url=http://www.browardpalmbeach.com/restaurants/rochester-ny-fried-comfort-food-and-friendly-folks-galore-6901325 | access-date=December 5, 2017}} 6. ^1 {{cite web | last=Moses | first=Sarah | title=Mighty Taco, a Buffalo favorite, to open in Cicero | website=syracuse.com | date=January 19, 2016 | url=http://www.syracuse.com/business-news/index.ssf/2016/01/mighty_taco_a_buffalo_favorite_to_open_in_cicero.html | access-date=December 5, 2017}} 7. ^{{cite book | last=Reisenauer | first=C. | last2=Cady | first2=B.R. | title=University at Buffalo 2012 | publisher=College Prowler, Incorporated | year=2011 | isbn=978-1-4274-9720-8 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=j_l9MIxyVVQC&pg=PT43 | access-date=December 5, 2017 | page=43}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.mightytaco.com/locations.php |title=Locations |publisher=Mighty Taco |date= |accessdate=April 11, 2013}} 9. ^{{cite web | last=Thompson | first=Howard | title=Mighty Taco closes restaurant in Greece | website=WHEC News10NBC | date=July 13, 2017 | url=http://www.whec.com/news/mighty-taco-closes-greece-restaurant/4541746/ | access-date=December 5, 2017}} 10. ^{{cite web | last=House | first=Samantha | title=Less than a year after opening, Mighty Taco closes in Cicero | website=syracuse.com | date=December 31, 2016 | url=http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2016/12/less_than_a_year_after_opening_mighty_taco_closes_in_cicero.html | access-date=December 5, 2017}} 11. ^{{cite web|last=George |first=Eli |url=http://www.wivb.com/dpp/news/buffalo/Mighty-Taco-shipping-tacos-to-48-states |title=Mighty Taco shipping burritos to 48 states |publisher=WIVB.com |date= |accessdate=January 7, 2012}} 12. ^{{Cite web|url=http://store.mightytaco.com/chowdown/catalog.html|title=Mighty Taco - Chow Down|website=store.mightytaco.com|access-date=2016-12-08}} 13. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.paragoncomm.com/Services.html|title=Paragon Advertising Agency status|accessdate=2016-12-08}} 14. ^{{cite book | title=Lonely Planet USA | publisher=Lonely Planet Publications | series=Travel Guide | year=2016 | isbn=978-1-76034-127-5 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3XG6CwAAQBAJ&pg=PT346 | access-date=December 5, 2017 | page=346}} 15. ^{{Citation|last=ineedfood5478|title=First Mighty Taco Commercial ever made|date=2008-07-10|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hjhtyPma4A|accessdate=2016-12-08}} 16. ^Putin banned from 'Mighty Taco' restaurant.
