Little Miner Taco is opening a new stall at The Block in Pike & Rose! We stopped by today for a soft opening event to check out some of what they’re planning to offer.  Their grand opening is tomorrow, July 15 at 2 PM– they have announced that the first 100 customers will get a free T-Shirt!

Little Miner Taco currently has a location in Brentwood, MD as well as a traveling truck that hosts pop up events all around the DMV. Little Miner is best known for their Birria De Res Quesadillas which have braised beef and cheese along with a signature beef consome dipping sauce. These  will appear at their location at The Block, along with a variety of exclusive new items.


The Pike Center restaurant was the all-you-can-eat chain’s last remaining location in Montgomery County after the Gaithersburg location closed a few years back. There are still nearby locations in Frederick and Hagerstown (Hagerstown is currently listed as temporarily closed).

Pike Center in Rockville has recently lost Pier 1 Imports and Bagel City.


MoCo businesses receive approximately $2.5 billion in federal COVID-19 relief funds

17,323 MoCo businesses received loans from the Small Business Association’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). Congress passed the PPP in early April to boost small business damaged by the pandemic.


The Montgomery County Government recently announced that they have made visits to 1,900 MoCo businesses to ensure that safety procedures are being followed.  Two hookah lounges, a bar, and a restaurant have been closed for not properly following opening guidelines.

Per the county’s instructions, residents who have concerns about a business not following COVID-19 restrictions should email [email protected] or call 311.
