The building is still there, at 830 North Clinton Street, but the DQ is long gone.

Taco John’s was our go-to. I don’t think I’d even heard of Taco Tico until I first moved to New Orleans 20 years ago and have eaten there only a couple of times. After binging the entirety of this blogsite over the last few days, I might have to stop by there and grab a bunch of tacos and sanchos to go while I’m running errands in Metairie later this week.

Now I'm sorry I didn't, since it was one of only three remaining in the state, and now they're all gone. One closed permanently, and the other two (including the Keysville location) ended their franchise agreements and now operate as Sundaes Restaurant. <br /><br />I still didn't stop either way during the last trip, as the quarantine was just beginning. I can't imagine I'll get the chance even to think about it again anytime soon.

I may pay them a visit with blogging in mind if I ever feel safe eating inside a restaurant again. <br /><br />Mom and pops, not so much. I'm all about the remnants of the mostly defunct chains.
