Victor's Taco Shop to open second location in Springfield
Apr. 8—Victor's Taco Shop is opening a second location in Springfield at 10 a.m. Friday, April 11.
Those who visit the restaurant during its first month of opening, will be entered into a raffle for a $500 check. The winner will be announced May 11.
The fast-food, Mexican restaurant is located at 1200 N. Bechtle Ave. in the former space of Rapid Fired Pizza. The pizza shop closed in February 2024 after it had been seeking to hire a new owner operator.
Jonathan Gaytan, co-owner of Victor's Taco Shop, said they wanted to open a restaurant on the other side of town that was closer to Wittenberg University and the highway.
Victor's other restaurant location in Springfield is located at 1929 E. Main St.
The 2,000 square foot building will feature a dine-in area with seating for around 60 people. There will not be a drive-thru, but customers will be able to place an order next month and get it brought out to them — similar to what Olive Garden does.
Victor's is known for offering the same quality food as a traditional sit-down Mexican restaurant, Gaytan said. Customer favorites include Carne Asada Fries, Breakfast Burritos, Birria Tacos, Super Nachos and Taco Bowls.
Victor's is now serving margaritas and domestic canned and bottle beers at its location in Washington Twp. Gaytan said he plans to apply for a liquor license for the new Springfield location and eventually offer these types of beverages at their other existing locations.
Gaytan is in the midst of building a food truck to sit at their Lima store, which burnt down in February. They do have plans to rebuild, but that's expected to be done by the end of this year.
The food truck will then be used for festivals or large catering orders
The Springfield Victor's will be open 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. This is Victor's 16th location.
In the future, Victor's hopes to expand to Cincinnati and open a location in Vandalia and another in Columbus.

U.S., Mexico near deal to remove 50% steel tariffs, Bloomberg reports
The U.S. and Mexico are close to a deal that would remove President Trump's 50%tariffs on steel imports up to a certain volume, Joe Deaux and Eric Martin of Bloomberg report, citing people familiar with the matter. Trump hasn;t been directly involved in the negotiations and would need to sign off on any deal, Bloomberg added. The talks are being led by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, sources told Bloomberg. The agreement, which hasn't been finalized, would allow U.S. buyers to import Mexican steel duty-free as long as they kept total shipments below a level based on historical trade volumes, according to the people. The new cap would be higher than what was allowed under a similar deal during Trump's first term, the sources added. Publicly traded companies in the steel space include ArcelorMittal (MT), Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF), Nucor (NUE), Steel Dynamics (STLD) and U.S. Steel (X).

US, Mexico near deal to cut steel duties and cap imports
The U.S. and Mexico are closing in on a deal that would remove President Donald Trump's 50% tariffs on steel imports up to a certain volume, according to people familiar with the matter, a revamp of a similar deal between the trade partners during his first term. Trump hasn't been directly involved in the negotiations and would need to sign off on any deal. The talks are being led by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, according to the people, who asked not to be identified as the discussions are private. The people said the agreement hasn't been finalized. Under its current terms, it would allow U.S. buyers to import Mexican steel duty-free as long as they kept total shipments below a level based on historical trade volumes, according to the people. The new cap would be higher than what was allowed under a similar deal during Trump's first term, they said, which was never a fixed figure but designed to "prevent surges." The White House didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum's office also didn't respond to a request for comment. U.S. steel stocks moved lower in late trading after Bloomberg's report. Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. dropped more than 7%, and Nucor Corp. fell more than 4%. The Mexican peso trimmed losses. At an event on Tuesday, Mexican Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard said he told U.S. officials in meetings last week that steel tariffs are not justified in Mexico's case because the U.S. sends more steel to Mexico than vice versa. Last Friday, he posted a picture that showed him shaking hands with a smiling Lutnick in Washington. "We are waiting for their response, because on Friday we gave them the details of Mexico's argument and we are right," Ebrard told reporters Tuesday. "So we are going to wait for their response which will probably be this very week." Trump last week announced he would double steel duties to 50% after saying he would approve the purchase of United States Steel Corp. by Japan's Nippon Steel Corp., a move he said would protect the domestic industry and national security. While domestic steelmakers welcome the move, end-users have urged the administration to ease the tariffs. The negotiations come as Sheinbaum seeks an accommodation with Trump over immigration and drug trafficking across their shared border, which the U.S. leader has demanded Mexico halt. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem accused Sheinbaum Tuesday of "encouraging" more anti-deportation protests in Los Angeles, where the U.S. has deployed troops. Sheinbaum has called Noem's claim "absolutely false." The talks also come ahead of a Group of Seven leaders summit in Canada, where the two presidents are likely to meet. U.S. steel imports from Mexico totaled about 3.2 million metric tons last year, accounting for 12% of total shipments of the material according to Commerce Department data. A previous deal the U.S. reached with Mexico in 2019, during Trump's first term, agreed to prevent import volumes that exceeded average levels for the 2015-2017 period. -With assistance from Josh Wingrove and Alex Vasquez.
