It's always sad to see a local mom-and-pop business close its doors for good, and it's even sadder when the establishment has been around long enough to become a staple in the community.

Unfortunately, one of the oldest Mexican Restaurants still operating in Denver, Colorado, has recently announced that it will not be operating for much longer.

One of these Mexican restaurants located at 579 Federal Boulevard, Taco House, has been a mainstay of the area since 1958. However, after 66 years of slinging tacos, Taco House has announced that it will be closing its doors for good by the end of the year.

With less than a month until the restaurant closes on December 31st, Taco House released an official statement sharing the sad news.

The heartfelt yet sad statement said the following regarding reasons for deciding it was time to close up shop:

The advent of COVID, steadily increasing costs including food, paper products, wages, insurance and taxes have forced us to raise prices to levels that are increasingly not affordable for many of our customers. Try as we might, we have not found a satisfying solution to the challenges we face.
