A family-owned business in Colorado, Taco House, is closing its doors for good at the end of 2024 after serving the community for over 60 years.
Located at 581 South Federal Boulevard in Denver, Taco House has been a beloved spot for delicious Mexican dishes like tacos, burritos, and their famous enchiladas since it first opened in 1958.
Taco House, which became a local institution, recently shared the sad news of its closure on Facebook on Sunday, December 1.
The restaurant, known for its flavorful food and warm atmosphere, was one of the first in Denver to offer carry-out service, which made it popular with busy customers throughout the years.
The History of Taco House in Colorado
Taco House started serving customers in 1958, and by the 1970s, it expanded to 11 locations in the Denver Metro Area.
One of the restaurant’s highlights was its all-you-can-eat special, which featured their famous cheese enchiladas. However, with just two locations still in operation, the closure of the original Taco House in Denver will mark the end of an era.
The closure announcement points to several challenges faced by the restaurant, including rising costs due to inflation and the effects of COVID-19.
Taco House has struggled to keep prices affordable for customers while managing the rising costs of food, paper products, wages, insurance, and taxes. Despite efforts to find solutions, the business was no longer able to sustain operations at its original location.
What’s Next for Taco House
After December 31, Taco House will permanently close its original location in Denver. However, the restaurant’s remaining location at 1335 Wadsworth Boulevard in Lakewood will stay open for the time being.
Taco House reassures customers that they can continue to visit the Lakewood location, which will remain in business for the foreseeable future.
If you have been a loyal customer of Taco House or if you’ve enjoyed their food during past visits, now is the time to stop by the original location before it closes for good.
The Denver location has been serving classic Mexican food to generations of customers, and the restaurant’s closure marks the end of a significant chapter in the city’s culinary history.
