A lot of construction has been going on around Lawton, Oklahoma. And it has residents speculating what businesses will be coming to town. One rumor is that Lawton will finally be getting a Taco Casa.

Taco Casa is a Texas-based fast food chain that serves tacos, burritos and more. The brand was established in 1972 and has several locations throughout Texas and a few in Arkansas and Oklahoma.

Where is the closest Taco Casa to Lawton?

In order to get their chilada fix, Lawton residents have to travel to either Duncan here in Oklahoma or make the trek over the Red River to Wichita Falls, Texas, which has two locations. So if Lawton was to get its own Taco Casa, it would save a lot of gas money for some.

So is Taco Casa coming to Lawton?

Since we've been hearing this rumor a lot lately and we've seen people post about it on various Lawton-based social media groups, we decided to reach out to Taco Casa ourselves to get to the bottom of it.

We received a response back from Taco Casa Corporate, and it will disappoint Lawton residents that were hopeful the chain was coming to town. Below is the exact response we received back:

Thank you for your email. There is not any talk of one going there. But, I will send this to our development department.
