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

The Biggest Restaurant and Bar Openings in New Orleans, Spring 2020 | Eater New Orleans

"I'm curious about El Cucuy, Austin Lane's heavy metal and South American folklore–themed taco restaurant and bar that will specialize in trompo (spinning rotisserie) al pastor tacos, homemade tortillas, and a focus on agave spirits; the project includes a restored Airstream, a large shaded dining deck, an outdoor 'entertainment area,' and a smaller interior dining room with a bar. Jennifer O’Blenis will run the bar program, Cicada is on design, NFT Group is handling construction, and it was expected to open in March 2020." - Clair Lorell
