Two Pesos

Two Pesos

Two Pesos was a Tex-Mex restaurant chain in the U.S. state of Texas that opened about 1985 in Houston. It was similar to Taco Cabana but Two Pesos never opened in Taco Cabana's home market of San Antonio. The Two Pesos chain was sold to Taco Cabana in 1993 after losing a drawn-out trademark suit that appeared before the United States Supreme Court.

History

A Houston restaurateur started the chain in 1985, and it then spread across Texas. When Taco Cabana entered the Houston market, they sued Two Pesos for stealing their business concepts and "trade dress." After many appeals, the case went to the Supreme Court, which in 1992 ruled in favor of Taco Cabana; the Two Pesos owner [s] sold to Taco Cabana the next year rather than making the changes required by the judgment.
