Closing
Tacocat, Margate
This walk-up taco shop has been a fan favorite for locals and tourists alike for five years. From the takeout-window, customers–who regularly wait in lengthy lines–ordered unique street tacos and nachos that could easily be enjoyed on the beach, which was located just two blocks away. Unfortunately, the Tacocat owners shared on social media this past week that they “made the difficult decision to shut down restaurant operations due to unforeseen staffing challenges.” However, the business will still be catering and its food truck will continue to operate at events.
