Taco God giveth, taketh away
In taco news, a friend has informed me that Felipe's on Foothill Boulevard and Archibald Avenue has closed. A red note courtesy of Sheriff Rod Hoops is taped outside, warning employees from entering.
Mexican restaurant Felipe's once had three locations in the city. The one on Carnelian Avenue was the first to close. Then owner Felipe DeLaPiedra sold the Foothill and Archibald location but allowed the new owner to keep the name. Finally in 2008, DeLaPiedra sold his last restaurant on Foothill and Masi Drive and it became El Loco Cantina. We all know what happened there. When it started operating like a bar and night club, the city closed it down.
Earlier this year, Taco Hut opened in the El Loco Cantina location. Last weekend, Taco Hut finally re-opened at its original location -- Foothill, just east of Hellman Avenue. A fire ruined the taco joint last year but owners vowed to renovate.
According to Taco Hut's Facebook page, the new restaurant has more televisions, larger restrooms but same great service.
