Who We Are

team is everything
"We know what Guests want, and what Employees need."
We are a restaurant company built from the bottom-up, with both a passion and talent for service. Founded by two entrepreneurial siblings -- who opened and operated a single Taco Bell in 1982 -- Desert De Oro Foods has grown into a 350+ restaurant organization. Their advantage has been learning the industry hands-on: What guests want, and what employees need. In our fast-paced world this is ever-evolving. DDO stays current with trends that both delight our guests, and lead to employee happiness.

Our Mission: To be the Restaurants our Guests desire, and the Company our Employees deserve.

Ethical – Passionate – Committed
