A new casual Mexican restaurant is opening in the Marquette area

Taco Pros, an Illinois-based Mexican restaurant franchise, is coming to 1400 W. Wells St.

The casual restaurant will open in early June, franchise co-owner Darmesh Ghelani said.

Taco Pros opened in 2019 in Oak Park, Illinois, and has expanded throughout Illinois and Indiana, and now into Wisconsin.

A location in Mequon at 10942 N. Port Washington Rd. opened earlier this year. Besides the Wells Street location, there are plans for Taco Pros at 242 E. Capitol Dr. in Milwaukee, 2068 Miller Park Way in West Milwaukee and 7801 W. Greenfield Ave. in West Allis.

Ghelani is also a pharmacist and owns independent pharmacies in the Milwaukee area. He plans to also stay in that field while running Taco Pros.
