In recent years, Diego’s, a popular taco restaurant and bar in Uptown Kingston, has faced significant challenges due to the pandemic lockdowns and rising costs. Owner Isaac Cruz took to Instagram to announce the closure of the business after ten years in operation. He expressed gratitude to supporters while acknowledging the difficulties faced by the business during the pandemic.
In his Instagram post, Cruz explained that the decision to close was ultimately forced upon them due to the significant increase in operating costs over the past few years. Despite the tough times, he described the determination to hold on as long as possible.
Diego’s invited fans to stay updated on their future plans by following them on Instagram, where they will announce their upcoming vending events for the summer. The business also requested support from the community as they navigate the transition to a mobile food vending operation. They hope to continue serving their beloved tacos to customers in a new and innovative way in the future.
