Lexington burrito spot plans to reopen after several months closed. What we know
A restaurant known for burritos and more plans to reopen along a busy stretch in Lexington after being closed for several months.
Diablo’s Southwest Grill, located at 5541 Sunset Blvd., has been closed since Aug. 2025, with the restaurant noting on social media last summer that it was “taking a well-needed break” and that a buyer was being sought for the franchise location of the regional burrito chain.
Now, after six months of being shuttered, plans are afoot for the Lexington restaurant to reopen, according to recent posts on Facebook. A Feb. 6 post announced the coming reopening and teased a possible timeframe.
“We are hoping to get open welcoming guests very soon (in March), and we look forward to earning your regular patronage,” the social media message said. That Feb. 6 missive drew a big reaction on Facebook, with more than 840 likes, more than 200 comments and nearly 60 shares as of Monday morning.
Meanwhile, the Lexington Diablo’s made a Monday Facebook post seeking candidates for a general manager for the location.
Diablo’s Southwest Grill has locations in South Carolina and Georgia, according to its website. The menu includes burritos, nachos, tacos, quesadillas and more.
Diablo’s in Lexington is in the midst of a high-traffic retail corridor along Sunset Boulevard. Nearby businesses include a Walmart, a Chick-fil-A, a Starbucks and many other retailers. About 35,000 cars per day travel down that stretch of Sunset Boulevard, according to state Department of Transportation statistics.
