The Smoked Taco — Signage & Branding Project by Notatek
Exterior illuminated channel letters, high-visibility roadside pylon signage, and custom interior LED neon features for a fast-casual restaurant concept. Our team delivered a cohesive visual identity that maximizes curb appeal from the street while creating a vibrant, inviting atmosphere for guests inside.
Notatek produced electric signs for The Smoked Taco.

The Smoked Taco
Exterior Illuminated Signage, Roadside Pylon, and Interior LED Neon
The Smoked Taco needed clear, durable branding to direct traffic from a busy roadway into their new fast-casual location. The site required primary building signage visible from multiple angles, an off-street pylon, and branded internal lighting for the dining room. We designed, built, and installed a complete package covering the exterior building facade, streetfront pylon, and interior walls.
Exterior Channel Letters and Roadside Pylon
We fabricated face-illuminated aluminum channel letters with red, teal, and yellow acrylic faces for the primary storefront facade. Internal high-output LED modules light up the building name across brick, white stone, and stucco architectural features. Out at the property line, two bucket trucks set a double-sided cabinet pylon sign high above street level on twin black steel poles.

Interior LED Neon Signage
Inside the dining area, we mounted custom-formed LED neon fixtures onto two distinct feature walls. One fixture outlines the brand's flaming taco graphic in bright white light directly over an exposed red brick wall. A second custom sign uses red LED flex tubing shaped into the taco flame outline, mounted onto light-toned horizontal wood wall paneling.
The result
Red and teal channel letters mark the corner building facade clearly against the sky.
The tall pylon sign catches drivers' eyes from four lanes away.
White and red light glows across raw red brick, yellow metal chairs, and dark polished concrete.
