There’s a new taco spot in downtown Columbia. Check out where it’s located
There’s a new spot for tacos, nachos and more in the heart of downtown Columbia.
Taco Grande opened earlier this month at 1212 Hampton St. in the capital city’s Main Street District. It is in the spot that was formerly home to Fancy That Bistro for many years. Taco Grande is next door to the Hampton Place Cafe.
Taco Grande offers several items, including tacos, quesadillas, nachos, burritos and burrito bowls, along with sides like chips and salsa, and classic Mexican drinks such as Jarrito.
Per menus posted at the store, it serves street style tacos, with melted cheese, salsa, pico de gallo, onions, cilantro and a choice of meat or veggies, as well as Tex-Mex style tacos, which have a choice of meat or veggies, mixed greens, pico de gallo, queso and sour cream.
The arrival of Taco Grande is another new addition to a district that has seen a host of announcements or openings in the last year.
The Strudel Shop opened on Washington Street in January, while the Middleton family opened The Venue dueling piano bar in the 1600 block of Main Street in April. The Ambrosia Taverna restaurant is under construction in the 1700 block of Main, and the Perfect Storm Bear Factory toy store recently opened in the 1400 block of Main Street.
Meanwhile, Hotel Trundle recently announced it would develop a new block of rooms called the Flutter Wing on Main Street, above Drake’s Duck-in, and MOA Korean BBQ and Bar announced it would develop a 6,000-square-foot restaurant at 1333 Main St. And just last week, TakoSushi opened a new location in the Arcade Mall along Main Street.
