Taco Bar El G ero, which has been a family-run business since 2003, is situated at 10003 B Fields Rd in Gaithersburg. The company started out at a petrol station and then converted a sandwich deli and wine and beer shop into a popular Mexican dining destination. Now, more than twenty years later, this well-known eatery is moving, albeit only a short distance away.
Taco Bar El G ero is slated to relocate to the Downtown Crown development in Gaithersburg in September or October, taking over the location of the old BurgerIM and SmashBurger at 200 Ellington Ave. The restaurant will change its name to El Gero Mexicano in conjunction with the relocation.
With only minor adjustments, the restaurant’s proprietors, the Valdivia family, guarantee that the menu and prices will not change much. They intend to increase the variety of breakfast options and bring back the popular salsa bar. The menu will include wine, beer, and a small selection of tequila-only cocktails, but the current establishment’s wine and beer store will not relocate.
Taco Bar El G ero, which is well-known for its small-town, family-run charm, had a makeover in 2020. The new logo features Jose Valdivia, who is well-known to frequent customers. A sibling restaurant, Ixtapalapa Taqueria, opened in Gaithersburg in 2017, La Gula Mexicana opened in Germantown in 2021, and Mayan Monkey Brewery opened in Olde Towne Gaithersburg earlier this year as a result of the restaurant’s popularity.
