When Taco Charlton got drafted by the Dallas Cowboys, it seemed highly likely that a Mexican restaurant was going to make a deal with the former University of Michigan defensive end.
"We had meetings with a bunch of restaurants that sell tacos and we were looking for a long-term relationship," Charlton's agent Joel Segal said.
The winner of the sweepstakes to land Charlton was revealed Tuesday, as Taco Bueno prevailed.
The 3,000-employee company has more than 180 stores in seven states, but roughly half of those restaurants are within the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area.
