So wanted one of those tacos. Never got it. Bummer!

They've been closed at the Crazy Crackers location for a little while now; word is only just getting around. The Surly owners had significant financial differences with the CC owners. I won't go into she-said he-said, but let's just say that knowing how to make good food and knowing how to run a professional business are two very different skills.
The Love City Cantina at Wharfside has much lower prices than Surly did. Unfortunately, it also serves vastly inferior food. Wish it weren't so -- their business has not been great anyway due to a lot of backlash from locals who have boycotted the place -- but I tried to give them a fair shot, and the food is really not very good. That business is also for sale -- $7K monthly rent and psycho landlord apparently not included. http://caribbean.craigslist.org/bfs/1676815601.html
