Busy Mexican food restaurant group Tacos 1986 is expanding yet again. This time the team is heading east, landing a new location in the heart of Pasadena by the end of the year. Owner Victor Delgado tells Eater that the small new restaurant will mostly mirror their others around greater Los Angeles (Burbank, Beverly Grove, Downtown, Westwood) with a limited area for customers to order and a compact menu of carne asada, adobada, chicken, and mushroom tacos and the like.
The space at 20 E. Union Street is part of a redone block just off Old Pasadena that has brought in a number of new restaurants like Paper Rice, Main Chick, and Dirt Dog. The city of Pasadena has also embraced al fresco dining along the one-way street, with barriers set up for customers to dine at a distance from restaurants like Union, Perle, and others.
