Los Taco closing today!

[grantgeneral78]

We went to los tacos today to get some burritos and they had a sign today was there last day. they said they are moving down to s.w.44th and may but the place is not ready yet they mentioned they needed some plumbing work , painting done and other stuff and there willing to barter out food for services might be a chance to get some grub guys, I am going to check with some handymen to see if we can help them out.

Are they going to be at the old Ernie's DX station on the northeast corner?

[grantgeneral78]

i dont really think so I think they said they are going into one of those shopping centers on the east or the west side.

[soonerguru]

I like Los Tacos.

[SouthsideSooner]

They are moving in to the old Carls Jr building on the NW corner.

I'm surprised they're moving. It seemed like they were doing really well where they were at. I can understand the attraction of the free standing building with a drive thru but that area is getting pretty rough. Porky's pizza moved from that corner to 89th and May for that reason.

thanks to this thread i brought home los tacos tonight.

I wish I could get me some Los Tacos.

[grantgeneral78]

the only thing I could come up with and this is just a hunch, they must have jacked the rent up where they are at now. I agree that side of town is pretty rough these days, just have to get the burritos during the day now.

When I was growing up in that part of southside it was like( Leave it to Beaver style.) It just breaks my heart that it's gotten so rough.

When did Carl's Jr. close? I always seen plenty of traffic at that location.

Yeah, dammit, when the Cleevers and Nelson's moved out it was obvious it was on the way down, so we moved FURTHER south.

happened to be driving by sw 44th & may today and they were indeed working on the carl's jr. building on the nw corner... there was a small temporary sign in the window that said 'los tacos'... dunno if i'll drive that far to get the occasional fix.

Is this the same Taco place that use to be at SW 44th and Blackwelder. (where there's now a 7-11)

[soonerguru]

What exactly does "rough area" mean? Are there roving bands of thugs discharging weapons in the street?

I remember in the 70's going to Los Tacos ( My mind in an altered state)and scarfing down on their burritos. Excellent!!!!!

Oh man, my Cardiologist is going to be pissed!!!!!!!!

Your title had me scared for a minute. I thought they were closing for good.
I never thought the shopping center location was good for them.
They did really well for several years at 44th and Blackwelder with the freestanding location.
Back when they were located on 44th, I asked the owner if he would ever consider moving into a new building or changing the concept from parking and ordering at the window. He advised he was content with the concept at one location with family running the business and he also swore to me every time he repainted, cleaned up, and trimmed all the weeds sales went down. Who knows if that was true but he seemed to be a pretty astute businessman and interesting guy to visit with.
Two Tacos, Super Nacho with, Beef and Bean Burrito, Hold the tattoos and piercings.

That certainly puts a different face on things. Glad to hear that you guys are doing so well that you're expanding.

Hope things go great for you in the new location and look forward to the reopening of the current place. You can look forward to a steady stream of my dollars helping to pay for things...

I worked at the ORIGINAL Los Tacos at sw 44th and Blackwelder when I was a teenager at Moore High School. Joanna Myers was one of my best friends High School. The original drive in was awesome to work at ( but it was so TINY - I can't believe looking back how we served so many customers in such little space!). I loved working there and I love the food.

The newest location on SW 44th and May is hardly what I would call a rough neighborhood. Those who think it is rough live in a very sheltered world (in my opinion). I have been a southsider for most of my life in Oklahoma. No one place is safe. Things happen all over town. I am not one bit scared to be alone at anytime of the day or night on SW 44th and S May.

So anyone who is afraid of that area, really it is NOT that rough.

Go on down and get your Los Tacos fix. Don't forget they close at 7pm daily and closed all day on Sundays and Mondays! Buy a Los Tacos shirt and wear it in and get a free drink with your order too! The drive thru is for call in orders only so if the weather is bad or if you really are concerned about the neighborhood just call in your order and pick up in the drive thru.
