Title: Taco Casa reopens in Tuscaloosa after tornado-forced hiatus Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on October 17, 2011, 02:14:58 PM http://blog.al.com/tuscaloosa/2011/10/taco_casa_re-opens_on_15th_str.html
Quote (http://media.al.com/tuscaloosa/photo/10154354-large.jpg) TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- Listen closely, and you'll hear the collective inhalation of the familiar smell of beefy nachos and chimalupas hovering around 15th Street. The April 27 tornado that destroyed the homes and lives of so many Tuscaloosans and others throughout the state also claimed several of the city's favorite businesses, perhaps none more cherished than Taco Casa. What about the cactus sign? The Tuscaloosa News reported in July that some businesses on 15th Street, including Taco Casa's large cactus out front, did not meet city standards for signs, so changes had to be made. Before, they'd been grandfathered in, as they were built prior to those regulations being adopted.

All of us Taco Casa lovers have been going through some hunger pains. Title: Re: Taco Casa reopens in Tuscaloosa after tornado-forced hiatus Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on October 17, 2011, 02:54:43 PM One of my favorite places to eat lunch in Tuscaloosa.
