The Latest New Orleans Restaurant Closings, January 2025 | Eater New Orleans

"An Uptown, heavy metal and South American folklore–themed taco joint opened by Austin Lane on Tchoupitoulas Street in 2020, this funky, outdoor-centric spot became a neighborhood hang for tortas, tacos, Elvira bingo, and the occasional karaoke night. In an Instagram post announcing the closure, Lane says: "Sorry it has to end this way, but our building has sold and I do not have the means to buy it." The restaurant was originally set to close on Tuesday, but Lane has delayed the last day due to the snow — patrons were advised to keep an eye on its social accounts for updated information." - Clair Lorell
