After five years, San Pablo Street Tacos has permanently closed its location at 800 St. Paul St. in Mount Vernon.

The Mexican restaurant opened in 2020 at the corner location, the original site of the Red Emmaโ€™s co-op bookstore. Its name means โ€œSaint Paulโ€ in Spanish, and it served tacos, burritos, quesadillas and other Mexican fare. Monday was its final day.

โ€œAfter an amazing run, San Pablo Street Tacos is officially closed,โ€ the team said on Instagram. โ€œWeโ€™re beyond grateful for every order, every smile and every bit of support from this incredible community. Thank you for making us part of your lives.โ€
