The crew has spent the last couple of days at the shop getting it ready to make that goodness available on Monday, June 1st at 11am! Its strange, one would think that re-opening the restaurant wouldn't be as involved as the initial opening, but it sure looked that way! We have to learn how to speak with normal voices after being away for so long. Its tough!
Ch-Ch-Changes
As we have mentioned before, we will be open, but we are making some operational changes during these still uncertain times. Just know, that all of these changes are intended to keep our employees (and their surrounding circles of loved ones) as safe as possible and to keep us operating in the case that there are more restrictions in the future.
-We will only be selling food TO-GO (while our patio is still under construction. We don't have a completion date by now, because obvs.) You all have most likely seen the shop. It Small. So small that opening our lobby at any reduced capacity makes no sense. BUT! Our friends at Tie and Timber have this bangin' new beer garden that would love to have you chillin' responsibly and drinking their brews.
-We will still not be taking call-in orders. We literally do not have room to have food waiting on people. You all know we are pretty quick when we have to be, so come on up to the window and place your order and we'll get it done! But! If you have a large group (like 10 people or more), please email us at info@teamtacosgf.com with all your needs and we'll work it out!
-Since our patio is currently under construction, we will be changing our adult beverage policy. SINGLE BEER CANS PER CUSTOMER TO GO ONLY and retail bottles will be sold (just like our buds at Cherry Picker). However we are not doing cocktails TO-GO as to not interfere with our lovely neighbors (meaning we don't want them ending up in their backyards/patios per *so* many liquor rules). BUT! We will offer 1/2 sized versions of our cocktails, with prices adjusting accordingly, (as well as pours of our tequilas and mezcal) to be consumed ON OUR PROPERTY, IN A DESIGNATED AREA ONLY, while you wait for your food. We will have this small designated area *per our liquor license* that we are dubbing 'Consumption Junction', where you can *ahem* quickly enjoy a little beverage.
-We will have some social distancing appropriate markings on our pavers. Please respect those boundaries as much as possible. We've had people asking if we will be requiring customers to wear a mask when ordering. We will not, but its a good idea and its nice to see people wearing them and being considerate of others. Please keep that up! We will all be wearing some form of face coverings at the window.
-Lastly, we have to make a small menu change; as you know from any grocery store trip, beef prices are crazy high right now. That affects us significantly as well. Accordingly, we will be moving the B.A. Baracus (bah-RAH-kus) to the Ringer position and bringing back crowd/shop/employee favorite TOFU-King [good] to a spot on the 'year rounder' menu board.
There's probably some other stuff that has changed since the 'before times', but its been a long couple of days and we'd like to get some rest before we rock and roll with y'all tomorrow. Thank you all for the support that we've seen as of late and its nice that you haven't forgotten about us. Oh yeah! People have been asking how you can support us and other restaurants in these times. MERCH. MERCH. MERCH. We will have some of our OG Team Taco 100% cotton shirts on fire sale for this purpose. Gift Cards are nice and all, but they can make for some weird days in slow months. Plus if you wear a shirt around its like your advertising for us, which is awesome because we don't really have a 'marketing budget' and if we did, it would be gone because of all the COVIDITY.
In Summation. If you made it this far. Thank you! We are trying to operate safely, while being considerate to our employees, our neighbors and our business friends in the neighborhood and with your help we will continue to do so.
Cheers and Love
