History
Taco Maria started as a taco truck before it opened as a brick-and-mortar restaurant.[4] The restaurant opened in 2013. On July 25, 2023, chef Carlos Salgado announced the restaurant would close on July 29, 2023.[5] As reported by the Los Angeles Times, Salgado plans to relocate the restaurant to a larger space however, as of the time of closure, he had not yet found a suitable location. Salgado had the opportunity to extend the lease but declined due to maintenance and cost.[6]
Reception
In 2019, the Michelin Guide awarded Taco María 1 Michelin Star, a rating it retained until its closure in 2023.[7]
