FRASER VALLEY – A Fraser Valley restaurant that was launched with the goal of alleviating childhood poverty in Mexico is set to close its Abbotsford location later this week.

According to its social media feed, Good Taco at 2455 West Railway Street in Abbotsford will close its doors this Thursday, April 30 after six years in operation. It made the announcement on Instagram on April 6.

“Six great years in Abbotsford,” Good Taco wrote, followed by a taco emoji. “This one’s not easy to write, but our Abbotsford shop will be closing its doors on April 30th. A new landlord has purchased the building and will be taking over the space. We’re incredibly grateful for the community that showed up for us day in and day out. You made this place what it was.”

Its location in Chilliwack at 111-5525 Vedder Road will remain open.

“This isn’t the end though. You can still find us serving it up at our Sardis Good Taco location. Abbotsford, thank you,” Good Taco wrote.

In response to a social media question asking if Noodle Box would also close, Good Taco said that restaurant would also close this Thursday, April 30.

According to its website, Good Taco was created with a crazy ambitious goal of alleviating childhood poverty in Mexico. Founder and CEO Dustin May said after spending time working with the people of Primo Tapia, through Casa De Luz Children’s Centre, he grew to love the people and the food.

“I wanted to be part of the solution in helping provide people with a hand up out of poverty and at the same time bring back the traditional taqueria flavours and hand made recipes to Canada,” May wrote on the Good Taco website. “With ongoing operations in Canada and Mexico it keeps us anchored. Celebrating traditional flavours and most importantly an ongoing way to raise funds to help make a difference alleviating childhood poverty in Mexico. Thanks for being apart of this work.”
