WHO WE ARE AT TURCO TACO
At Turco Taco Quality is our outmost priority. The entirety of our menu is made in house from scratch, using premium ingredients. We believe in serving only premium Hormone and Antibiotic free meats, and wild caught seafood, product of sustainable fishing. Because of our Mediterranean background we only use Olive Oil and lard in our daily food preparation. The secret recipe to our unique flavors is the imported dry peppers, imported cheeses, imported Mediterranean and Mexican spices, and fresh locally sourced produce blended in harmony with the passion of our chefs to create a flavor explosion that hasn’t been experienced before.
Based on the rise in Allergy Restricted Diets and the anti-inflammatory food pyramid, every single ingredient on our menu is carefully selected and hand-crafted into our signature menu items that make eating well effortless, energizing and most importantly, full of flavor. Our commitment to being allergy conscious and allergy friendly is mirrored through our menu.

YAVUZ “OZ” OZTURK
Yavuz “Oz” Ozturk came to America in 2001 in search of the American dream. He began his humble beginnings as a busboy, worked his way up to server position, while his English improved before entering into a partnership with a local diner where he continued to learn all aspects of the business and became proficient in all positions.
Working from the bottom up, as an immigrant from Turkey, it was not always easy to adapt. Because of his hard work and excellent knowledge Oz partnered in an upscale fine dining Greek restaurant in Sidney, Australia where he relocated in 2009. After building upon his knowledge and learning in 2011, he returned back to America and relocated to Naples, FL where he worked in
several of the most respected restaurants including 1500 South celebrity’s chef Art Smith’s venue. During his restaurant experience, Yavuz owned and operated Bondi Fresh, a beachfront juice and smoothie shop that offered healthy salads and sandwiches. This venture intrigued the growing interest in turning to a more health-conscious lifestyle for him and his family and inspired him to co-found Turco Taco in June, 2019.
