...restaurant’s official Saturday morning debut. But few actually attended the grand opening, raising the question of how the new kid on the block will fare amidst the neighborhood’s notoriously competitive economic environment. Tom Brush, co-owner of Felipe’s Taqueria, an establishment which has made its home in the Square since 2004, said Qdoba’s opening just a few blocks down from his restaurant would have little long-term effect on his business. “I really don’t think it will have too much...
Felipe’s Taqueria will soon lose its monopoly on Mexican fast food in the Square. Qdoba Mexican Grill, a national chain with over 300 franchises around the country, will move into 1280 Mass.

Most of the Square’s restaurants and bars, however, are in non-residential areas. Clearly, the city could grant these restaurants later hours, boosting the city’s economy...
...immigrant solidarity activities in and around Chicago, nearly all independent retailers in Cicero, among other heavily Hispanic communities, will be closed for the day to allow workers to participate in the day?s political events. Jose Torres, owner of El Meson Mexican restaurant, closed his busy taqueria on Cermak Road - forgoing nearly $3000 in revenues - so he could take to the streets along with his immediate family and 18 employees, all of whom will be paid their regular salary for the day.
