Jimboy's Tacos, a Sacramento community pillar, to launch fully integrated campaign

SACRAMENTO, Calif., July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Merlot Marketing, Inc. (Merlot) has been named Agency of Record for Jimboy's Tacos, a Sacramento-based fast casual restaurant chain with locations in Northern California, Reno and Dallas/Fort Worth. Merlot will support Jimboy's Tacos' marketing and communications strategy, including the development and execution of advertising, social media and public relations campaigns.

Jimboy's Tacos is a family-owned business that started in 1954 with a small trailer in Lake Tahoe, Calif with the now famous "The Original American Taco," a ground beef taco dusted with Parmesan cheese on the exterior of the shell. Jimboy's Tacos has since grown to over 40 restaurants in California, Nevada and Texas and offers an extensive menu of fresh, made-to-order tacos, burritos, quesadillas and more.

We know that Merlot aligns with our company values, and that their partnership will help us to continue elevating our brand with our loyal customers and eventually reach those who have never experienced ‘The Original American Taco’.

Fresh, made-to-order ingredients and a signature recipe has people coming back for more, and each new menu item is just as tasty as the one that started it all."
