REHOBOTH — The folks behind Taco Reho have put their food truck in park in favor of a brick-and-mortar restaurant in Rehoboth.

“Moving from a food truck operation to a permanent location has long been the goal for us,” Billy Lucas, founder of Taco Reho, said.

“We have envisioned a space that allows us to expand our menu offerings and an environment that embraces who we are while also being able to grow our business.”

The new stationary restaurant is at 18784 Coastal Highway in Rehoboth.

Though award-winning, Taco Reho’s menu was constrained by the size of the food truck. The new building will allow the restaurateur to add new items for diners to enjoy.

Taco Reho, as a food truck, has been serving hungry fans for seven years. During that time, Mr. Lucas said, it has developed a reputation for its tacos made with truck-made corn tortillas, burritos, hot dogs and fries.

The new restaurant building came equipped with a dining room, a drive-thru window and space for curbside pickup.

The indoor space has a special area set aside just to make an important item.

While in the food truck, Taco Reho hand pressed its tortillas to create a fresh-made product. The new space will have a dedicated tortilleria, a tortillas bakery.

The tortilleria can produce up to 1,500 tortillas per hour. The special equipment, brought in from Los Angeles, will allow for house-made tortillas to be a focus as the business grows, Mr. Lucas said.

Music is a big part of Mr. Lucas’ life, so he designed the tortilla-making area to look like a radio DJ booth and appropriately labeled it MASA FM.

“A fresh tortilla makes all the difference to our tacos. Made with fresh, heirloom corn from Mexico, you can taste the difference,” Mr. Lucas said.

In addition to the traditional items from the food truck, Taco Reho will offer bowls (both rice and greens based), quesadillas, taquitos, a burger of the month, and sweet treats for desserts.

“We are excited to bring a broader menu to our new location. It will be fun and offer more items for a broader audience. We are about pleasing our fans and making them regular groupies to stop by weekly,” said Mr. Lucas.

Fans of the Taco Reho food truck shouldn’t worry — Mr. Lucas said he plans to keep the truck running for special events or catering needs.

“I’ve had a lot of people ask me what is happening to Black Betty, which is our affectionate name for the food truck,” Mr. Lucas said. “After seven years of living on that truck, we certainly aren’t putting her out to pasture. The food truck culture is an important piece of our history that will continue to live on.”
