New York City taco restaurant Tacombi is coming to 4749 Bethesda Ave. in downtown Bethesda. Tacombi got its start in 2005 selling tacos in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico after they purchased a 1963 Volkswagen bus and converted it into a food stand.
Around 2009 they moved to New York City, where they currently have seven locations, including one inside of the Empire State Building. A spokesperson for Tacombi told Bethesda Beat, “As we looked outside of New York, we saw in Bethesda a community that has a lot of the life, activity, and the neighborhood quality that lets us best share the simple enjoyment of authentic Mexican taco culture.”

Jersey Mike’s, which has eight locations in Montgomery County, will be donating 100% of their sales nationwide to charity on Wednesday, March 29th. The promotion is a part of Jersey Mike’s “Month of Giving” and sales are expected to be over $20 million for the day. According to Jersey Mike’s, “Day of Giving is Jersey Mike’s busiest day of the year. Each location prepares by staffing up and ordering extra food, ensuring there is plenty of meat, cheese, bread, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, and bacon to meet the high demand. The more you order, the more Jersey Mike’s gives. Whether in-store, through Jersey Mike’s app or through third-party delivery partners, proceeds from every single sale this Wednesday — including subs, chips, drinks, and catering orders — will go to local charities.”

Crown Fried Chicken: Homemade Waffle & Breakfast is coming to the 1900 block of Seminary Rd in Silver Spring. The restaurant’s address is listed as 1909 Seminary Rd, the same as the former location of Krazy Steve’s. A manager from Crown told us they are not taking over the Krazy Steve’s site but will be located on the opposite side of the center, though it appears that he may be incorrect.
Right now the restaurant is listed as opening on April 29th, but that all depends on when they receive their final permits and inspections from the county.
