Iguanas Burritozilla Closes San Antonio Location
Iguanas Burritozilla is a family-owned and operated Mexican restaurant that was first established in 1994 in San Jose, California. It is not just another Taqueria; they prepare and pack meat in-house and then ship it to their outlets.
The restaurant focuses on developing deep connections with its staff and customers, which adds to the warmth of the place. Iguanas offers a diverse menu, including tacos, burritos, quesadillas, nachos, and other Mexican favorites.
The restaurant expanded to locations including Santa Clara and Evergreen, though these have since closed, with San Antonio being its first out-of-state venture. The one in San Antonio was inaugurated in January 2024 at 4205 Fredericksburg Rd, San Antonio, TX 78201. A few days back, the sign on the door read “Closed.” The restaurant has not made any official announcement about the closure or its reason. However, the Google business page of this outlet also shows that it is permanently closed.
The closure news of Iguanas Burritozilla after a short run in the business is an add-on to many other closures in San Antonio in May. The list includes The Hayden and Q Hibachi Express, along with this Mexican restaurant. The scenario of multi-outlet restaurants closing their San Antonio locations after a short period is quite concerning for the restaurant industry here.
