Popular Idaho Chain Restaurant Has Closed After 20 Years
A longtime fast food stop in the state of Idaho has reportedly closed its doors.
Del Taco, located at 1306 S. Broadway Ave. in Boise, has shut down, according to the Idaho Statesman. The business had been the first Del Taco to open in the Gem State nearly 20 years ago.
"The street sign now reads, 'Thanks for 20 years' on one side and 'See you at Vista I-84' on the other," said the Statesman's Michael Deeds. "The Del Taco logos on the building have been removed."
The shuttering of the Del Taco near Boise State University comes after the restaurant was briefly closed in late January after fire. Following a short hiatus, the chain outpost reopened on Feb. 3.
'We were just lucky that we had good people that could get things fixed in a pretty fast amount of time," general manager Josh Deshazo said at the time.
Nine Del Taco locations remain open in Idaho, including two others in Boise, as well as establishments in Caldwell, Coeur d'Alene, Kuna, Meridian, Nampa and Post Falls.
Del Taco was founded in California in 1964 and currently boasts nearly 600 locations around the country. In addition to burritos, nachos, tacos and quesadillas, the chain also serves crispy chicken offerings, burgers, fries, breakfast and more.
"By introducing The Del Taco, the Buck & Under Menu, and even more fresh ingredients like sliced avocado, Del Taco continues to be the leader in serving fresh, quality food for a value price," the chain's official website says. "We take pride in chopping, grilling and shredding in our restaurants every day."

Former DOGE director Elon Musk beefs with Trump as Tesla stock drops 15%
It's been a rough go lately for Elon Musk and Tesla. On Thursday afternoon, shares of Tesla stock dropped significantly as the former DOGE director appears to be embroiled in a dispute with President Donald Trump. Musk has been critical of Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill." On Thursday, Musk sent out a series of messages to the president on social media. As tensions escalated between the president and Musk, Trump criticized the Tesla CEO in a series of Truth Social posts, warning that he may sever government ties with Musk's companies. Here is what to know about why Musk and Trump are sparring on the internet. Musk is upset with Trump over the president's massive tax bill, which Musk has called a 'disgusting abomination.' The bill, known as the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," passed the House by a single vote and includes tax cuts, military spending increases, and reductions to Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Musk has criticized the bill for adding trillions to the national debt and accused lawmakers of rushing it through without proper review. He also suggested that Trump is retaliating against him because the bill removes tax credits for electric vehicles. Trump responded by saying he's 'very disappointed' in Musk and suggested their relationship may be irreparably damaged. Musk fired back on X, claiming that without him, Trump would have lost the election and that the bill was passed 'in the dead of night.' According to reports, as of Thursday, Tesla's stock shares dropped by 15%. Tesla is currently trading at around $280.70 per share. According to CNBC, stock prices have declined by over 25% this year, experiencing a significant drop from their peak of $488.54, which was recorded on December 18th. After what Musk described as an "intense" first three months under President Trump — and amid a sharp drop in Tesla's first-quarter profit — the former director of the Department of Government Efficiency left his post at the White House last month. DOGE was established by Trump through one of more than 100 executive orders issued on Inauguration Day. Musk was appointed to lead the department, which was established to modernize federal technology and streamline operations, aiming to enhance governmental efficiency and productivity. -Austin American-Statesman reporter Brandi D.

Saban Center to break ground in July
TUSCALOOSA, Ala (WIAT) – Local educators are helping create the educational curriculum at the Saban Center. The Saban Center is a one-of-its-kind STEM center that is considered a legacy project for former University of Alabama head football coach Nick Saban and his wife, Terry Saban. The center is being built across from the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater where the Tuscaloosa News building once stood. As of Wednesday, demolition is over, and crews are getting the groundwork ready for the Saban Center. 'We're so thrilled to be at this point in the project,' said Audrey Buck, director of the Saban Center. 'To know that we're going to break ground this summer is just unbelievable.' According to Buck, the Saban Center plans to break ground in July and open its doors to the public in 2027. 'It's a wonderful asset for our community,' Buck said. 'The idea is to get kids excited and have that spark for STEM.' Immersive learning experiences for the subjects of science, technology, engineering and math will be designed for school grades k-12. Tuscaloosa City School teachers are helping craft those lesson plans. 'The agreement that our board approved with the Saban center is for team members with the Tuscaloosa City Schools to work hand in hand,' Tuscaloosa City School Superintendent Mike Daria said. Birmingham man claims city forced him to sell home 20 years ago that's still standing TCSBOE approved a Memorandum of Agreement with the Saban Center during a board meeting Tuesday night. The MOA states the Saban Center Foundation 'will provide $288,291.00 to TCBE for assigned TCBE employee exchange to the Saban Center.' Those funds will be given to TCS on a quarterly basis starting July 1. Buck said two TCS teachers are working full-time with the Saban Center, while a team of around 20 other TCS teachers are helping craft the design and lesson plans. 'It is through this partnership that we are co-developing the programming at the Saban Center,' Daria said. While the MOA was recently signed, TCS has been a partner since inception of the Saban Center. 'Dr. Daria has been on the project with us really from the very beginning,' Buck said. 'He really believed in the Saban Center and what it could do for the teachers of Tuscaloosa and our surrounding areas.' Besides igniting a love of learning, an interest in STEM and providing educational resources outside of a traditional classroom setting, the Saban Center plans to work in tandem with what students are learning in their schools. 'The Saban Center in concept is going to be an extension of every single one of our school campuses,' Daria said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
