Lansing’s Aldaco’s Taco Bar Closes After a Decade

After more than a decade of serving local flavor in South Lansing, a beloved restaurant has officially closed.

A Lansing Favorite Restaurant Has Closed

Known for its crowd-pleasing buffet (back in the day, that is) and classic Mexican dishes, this spot had become a favorite for many in the community. While the buffet never returned after the pandemic, loyal customers kept coming back for the tacos, the rice, and the welcoming atmosphere.

Now, Aldaco's Taco Bar, located at 6724 S Cedar Street, has served its last meal. The restaurant closed for good on Saturday, May 18, after over a decade in business.

It's always sad to see a local business close, especially one that has been a part of the neighborhood for so long. Places like Aldaco's give soul and flavor to our city, and their loss is always felt.

Aldaco's isn't the only restaurant to close in Lansing recently; since the start of the year, Lansing has lost a Blimpie's Subs and El Catrin Taco Shop. There are plenty more places that locals miss, too.
