Local Taco Spot Faces Decline After Keith Lee Review Hype Fades
A local taco restaurant, once a beloved community staple, is reportedly facing a significant decline in patronage after experiencing a surge in popularity following a review by renowned food critic Keith Lee. The video, shared by a long-time customer, depicts an empty dining area, contrasting with the bustling scene implied after the initial review. The author, who described themselves as a 'regular' for four years, expressed sadness over the restaurant's current state. While not directly blaming Mr. Lee, the customer observed a noticeable drop in volume after the initial hype subsided. Comments on the video suggest various reasons for the decline, including allegations of price increases and reduced portion sizes implemented by the owners after the initial influx of customers. One commenter noted, '2 years ago the birria tacos were $13.99. now their website says $18.89.' Other patrons echoed sentiments that 'greedy restaurants' often 'fumbled their bag' by raising prices, leading to customer loss once the novelty wore off. Some also pointed to operational inconsistencies, such as random closures, as contributing factors. The situation highlights the complex challenges small businesses face in managing rapid growth and maintaining customer loyalty.
