A Tacombi takeover on 12th Street

Brandage and signage has arrived for the new outpost of Tacombi at 139 E. 12th St. at Third Avenue. 

This is the latest location for the fast-casual Mexican restaurant chain that has 15 outposts in NYC, Miami and Washington, D.C. 

Dario Wolos reportedly started the business from a van in the Mexican beach town Playa del Carmen back in 2006. 

Oh, and those Vista Hermosa Totopos tortilla chips are quite good and have been on sale at Key. 

The previous tenant here, iSouvlaki, closed last summer after a two-year run.

    So there is a Tacombi, Yellow Rose, and Taco Bell all on the same block? Makes sense….

    Does 7:57am think Tacombi and Yellow Rose are the same category or even type of food as Taco Bell?

    Don’t the Shake Shack ghouls own Tacombi now? Big capital nonsense is a likely explanation.

    They are going to make a killing with the NYU drunk crowds

    Yes Tacombi is part of the Shake Shack empire.

    The new lords are just like the old lords - the difference is that the new lords are youngish and hip, not older in suits....
