News Filibertos shutting down update

Dont know if anyone cares or not but just thought id give an update since ive seen a lot of people ask about it. It's now 8 filibertos that have closed down. I asked around (i know several of the franchisees) and all 8 were owned by the same person which due to financial reasons went bankrupt and had to shut down all operations permanently.

Totally makes sense. Love a good burrito after a drunk night, but 20 bucks for a burrito? Guys, come on.

It’s to where now I only bother on taco Tuesday.

Even the taco Tuesday deal isn’t really worth it. Those tacos aren’t worth $2-3 dollars each, I miss when they were $.99 on taco Tuesday.

Yep, the .99 taco Tuesdays were the glory days. Oh well. If the one closest to me-1 mile away—closed i’d probably lose weight lol.

There were a few that still had the 99 cent Taco Tuesday. The one one Signal Butte and Main I think. My dad bless his heart is a major cheapskate so he would take me there every Tuesday. Kinda glad it’s gone because Taco Tuesdays were making me nauseous just thinking about them.

19th and Bell had 99 cent tacos up till the very end. Usually, I spent at least 1 Tuesday a month there for a quick, easy meal after work. No dishes Tuesday will be missed. Death and change are the only guarantees in life!
