Stunner: Both St. Louis Del Tacos Closed Their Doors for Good Last Night
Looks like “saving delicious burritos” is now off the menu of reasons to oppose the Grand Blvd. demolition. KSDK reports:
The owners of Del Taco restaurants announced the closing of the company’s two stores in St. Louis Thursday night. Both locations, at 212 South Grand Boulevard and 1033 McCausland Avenue, officially closed Thursday at 11:00 p.m.
“We want to thank our employees for their commitment to excellence and thank our customers for allowing us to become such an important part of the fabric of St. Louis culture,” said Pat Shields, operating partner of DF Restaurants, LLC.
We’ll have more as the situation clarifies, but in the meantime, a classic DT commercial (in memoriam.)
You guys are dumb. Everyone’s known this has been coming for months. And basically no one gives a damn about Del Taco itself. Wake up!

As a tongue-in-cheek defense of Del Taco’s blighted status, I went inside the Skinker location several years back, then promptly left because of the overwhelming smell of raw sewage.

Mark,
It’s not about the Del Taco located there, it’s about the architecture of the building. Same reason people tried to save the Coral Courts Motel.
