Eduardo is Back!

One of the great losses that occurred during Hurricane Dorian was the destruction of Eduardo Chavez’ Taco Stand and everything around it.  Eduardo is a treasured member of the Ocracoke community and his wonderful taco stand food was loved by residents and tourists alike.

Eduardo received a great deal of focused support after this loss, much of which was dedicated to helping him reestablish  his business. In addition to individual support, there was a tee shirt sale fund raising drive that raised so much money Eduardo declared he did not need that much and directed that it be shared with others who had had devastating losses.

As time moved forward Eduardo set out the specifications for and ordered the new custom built food truck.  While it was being built in Florida he secured a new location beside Spencer’s Market, a location with better utility hookups than he had before.

Several weeks ago the beautiful new food truck arrived and on Saturday Eduardo opened with a limited menu to get things started.  Since his business is take-out only, he can operate totally during the COVID-19 quarantine period, much to the appreciation of the island community.

Eduardo’s is back!!

On Saturday we ordered breakfast tacos.  I ran down and picked them up and Trish and I had tacos in bed for a slow Saturday morning treat.  Yesterday we went back and got tacos for lunch, the first real meal we had not cooked for ourselves in the past five weeks.

The full menu will be coming soon! 

Eduardo’s food is always fresh and excellent, but, right new it is more delicious than ever.  We are glad for him and for ourselves that he is back in business and better than ever!
