Popular taqueria to close central site in Sacramento County. ‘The heartache is real’
StreetZlan Restaurant will permanently cut the lights to its original location in Galt less than two months after expanding to Elk Grove.
Over the past five years, the original brick-and-mortar site at 415 C St. in Galt has whipped up saucy Mexican-style tacos, burritos, sandwiches and salads with a California twist. In a farewell post to customers, the business noted growth and financial stability as major reasons for the upcoming closure.
“To all of our Galt supporters,” the farewell post stated “(t)he time has come and the heartache is real.”
“The support we felt throughout the years goes unmatched, adding that the experiences made at the restaurant will “never be forgotten.”
The Galt site will remain open through Wednesday, Jan. 31. Then all attention will shift to its newest site in Elk Grove’s Main Street Plaza, according to the farewell post.
The restaurant is open five days a week. Business hours are from 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesday through Wednesday; from 11:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Thursday and Friday; and from noon to 7:30 p.m. on Saturdays.
Owner Erick Silva, who operates the budding business with his wife Jessica, couldn’t be reached for comment.
