Itโs certainly surprising, especially for all the taco lovers who were eager to try out this quick-service eatery.
Code Violations Lead to Sudden Closure
In a post shared on their social media, the restaurant mentioned it had to close due to a few code violations. They stated that there were โa few logistical pieces we must revise in order to be able to run according to the code enforcement in Mississippi.โ While itโs not uncommon for new establishments to face this kind of issue, it raises a few eyebrows about the planning processes that lead up to a restaurant’s opening.
Many locals were optimistic about TacoNGanas, pumping a lot of excitement and anticipation into the community. But the sudden closure has left many wonderingโwhat went wrong? It seems that running a restaurant is no easy feat, especially when it involves meeting stringent regulations and codes.
Could They Return? Whatโs Next?
Owner Greg Diaz shared in yet another statement that he wasnโt quite sure if TacoNGanas would reopen in the same location. It seems the future of this new taqueria is uncertain at this moment. Would they find a new spot? Would they resolve their issues and come back better than ever? Readers, weโll have to wait and see! Itโs tough not knowing if this taco dream will come back to life.
