HUNTLEY – Mexican fast food restaurant Tacos Locos is moving from its current location in Huntley to a new spot in the village.
By the end of August, owner Rachel Pacheco said Tacos Locos will be at 12132 Route 47, formerly Jimano’s Pizzeria. The business will stay open at 10996 Route 47 until the move, she said.
Authentic Mexican food will stay on the menu, Pacheco said, and she plans on adding beers, margaritas and eventually signature drinks.
“Everybody says we’ve got great service, we’ve got excellent food, and we’re always trying new things,” she said.
On Thursday the Huntley Village Board agreed to consider the approval of a Class A liquor license for Tacos Locos, which, if approved, would become effective once the business receives its State Liquor License.
The business also applied to have three video gaming terminals. Pacheco said she decided to try having liquor and video game machines after hearing from other businesses the financial benefit to it.
The restaurant, which opened in 2010, also plans on having delivery service from its new location, Pacheco said. The new 1,500-square-foot space is currently under renovation, she said.
Huntley Village Board is set to vote on the liquor license at its next meeting, 7 p.m. Thursday, at Huntley Village Hall, 10987 E. Main St.
