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."
