Adios, Taco Del Mar

"We lost lease
Our last day of business 11/30/2018"

The Taco Del Mar on 1st Avenue, which was only the 10th stop on my local restaurant adventure, closes on Friday. I've been trying to get into a rut (i.e., Tat's on Mondays, Taco Del Mar on Wednesdays, Bad Bishop on Thursdays, RPM Pizza on Tuesdays or Fridays), but these closures and openings are making that a bit challenging.

The TDM has been there since at least 2005, and was right around the corner (in what became The Faerie Queene/Pittsburgh Lunch and Superette) before that. They offered what was probably the best lunch deal in Pioneer Square: $7.98 out the door for the Wednesday burrito special, with chips, salsa, and a drink. If you know of a better, cheaper, edible meal nearby, I'd love to know.

On the bright side, the window coverings are down at Meg's, the lights are on, booths are in, and table assembly and carpentry appear to be in progress. I think it might be ready for business in the next few weeks.
