The Biden administration is a joke, but it didn’t have anything to do with this place closing. It was poorly run, avg food, bad service. That will kill any business

When it opened in White Star it was good. Loved the chicken thigh taco.

It went into a straight nosedive as soon as they moved.

Slightly related, but his BBQ sauce is straight garbage. Easily the worst I have tasted from any commercial establishment. I don't know how it was greenlit.

I bought the mustard based one and liked it but it was extremely overpriced

At the end of the day it is just a taco stand that created too much overhead for itself

I love the idiots on this thread turning standard “this is why we failed” statements into political shite flinging. Yes, inflation sucks. Is that Biden’s fault? Sure. Is it his alone? Absolutely not. At minimum, the last four presidential administrations have been spending like drunken sailors on shore leave.

And does any of this have anything to do with GT closing? Almost certainly not. The food was… fine? But it was expensive, the inside had a weird dark ambience, the tent outside was just sad, and the service was shite. I drive past it frequently, and I don’t remember the last time I saw it “busy”. Yet, most of the other restaurants in the area are packed. It’s a failed restaurant. Happens all the time. Hopefully something interesting takes its place.

I had such a poor experience I’m not willing to try the mustard one. Fool me once.

Lots of restaurants will continue to close. They can only raise prices so high, or cut portions so much before customers decide it’s not worth it. Eating out is a treat and not a necessity.

Went once. Overpriced small portions.

I think I just prefer cheap food truck tacos like they were intended to be served.

+1. They could get out there on their experimental donuts, but I think even the worst one I had was still great.
