San Loco on Avenue A has closed after 15 years
The sign here between East 9th Street and East 10th Street is pretty self-explanatory… the Second Avenue location remains open… Meanwhile, what will become of San Loco's full liquor license?

I prefer the one on 2nd Avenue, but I had me many chicken burritos from this location.
ReplyDeleteOh no! Why didn't they warn us? I have been going to this San Loco since the day it opened. It will be missed. I visit the other locations from time to time, but this one is right on my way home.
ReplyDeleteAwwww, crap. My go-to taco joint for so many years, and now, just like so many other things that live only in memory, gone.
ReplyDeleteRight now I am in denial about this. When you see/hear a TV fly out a window and crash to street below you'll know I've moved on to the next stage of grief.
ReplyDeleteThanks San Loco. Will get a pretty penny for the liquor licence.
ReplyDeleteI saw this too late. Walked nine blocks to go and get their taco loco. I've been going here since they opened.. pretty much every other week. I have seriously reached my limit. Almost every single good thing is gone. There are no other locations close to me for San Loco. I walked this far to get a taco I love but also because I would rather support them than Subway if possible. Guess that isn't working. :(
ReplyDeleteThe real lousy part of this is that it doesn't appear to be part of a rent hike, just a pure business decision. Probably because a full liquor license on Avenue A has more value then one on 2nd Avenue these days. I for one don't have any desire to visit there 2nd Avenue location now.
ReplyDeleteFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU
ReplyDeleteNot all decisions are about making a quick buck from a liquor license. Avenue A has changed a great deal in the last fifteen years. There is a lot more competition as far as cheap eats go. When a place isn't a .99 slice place or a spot with $15 cocktails for some reason it just doesn't fit as well as it once did.
