This location in Nob Hill will be closing on Sunday August 7.The two Santa Fe locations (downtown drive-thru and Cerillos) will remain open.
On Urbanspoon, of the 180 readers casting votes, only 53% liked it. The 16 posted reviews are mixed positive and negative. Two friends whom I trust split—Chef Dare liked it and Drexler McStyles didn’t.
Sic transit gloria mundi.
Rumor had it that Street food Asia, directly across the street, has bought the site and will create another Street Food ______ there. Check back here for further details as I learn them.
The Santa Fe Cerillos location was converted in January, 2011 to Bumble Bee’s Burgers (http://nmgastronome.com/blog/?p=10632). Later in the year, the Albuquerque location began serving both the baja fresh Mexican food for which Bumblebee’s became a Santa Fe favorite and high-quality burgers. I’m sorry to see it wasn’t better embraced in the Duke City.
