Ye Olde World According to Buchs

I can’t say for certain – there’s nothing posted at the building – but it appears that Pepe’s Rockin’ Taco Shack has shut down. The last time I recall them being open was probably last week. This Monday was the first day I realized there were definitely not open. That’s at least four consecutive days closed, with two of them being far and away the best weather we’ve had this year. Considering what they went through to get that patio up and running, I just don’t see them taking a week off at this point.

I wouldn’t be surprised if somewhere they’re cursing the fact that we asked the city to enforce limited hours for that patio, and blaming the slow economy for the lack of business. The fact is that the food was mediocre at best, the décor was pretty hideous, and people just didn’t like the place.

Hopefully someone can swoop in and clean that place up. I’d really like to have another neighborhood restaurant where I’m welcome and would actually like to go.
