South Austin Iconic Tex-Mex Restaurant Maria’s Taco Xpress Is for Sale - Eater Austin

"Iconic South Austin restaurant Maria’s Taco Xpress is up for sale again. The property, complete with its open armed statue, is currently listed on real estate company CBRE’s website. Although the restaurant’s days appear to be numbered, it will remain open until and perhaps after a sale is complete. High taxes, high wages, bad traffic, and a declining regular customer base are some of the reasons for the sale. The listing includes the roughly 2000-square-foot restaurant building and the surrounding generous acre of land." - Nadia Chaudhury
