For well over a year now Toms River locals have been waiting and wondering when Beach Tacos will be opening their Toms River Location at 1165 Fischer Boulevard.

After all, the website for the inland location still promotes a 2022 opening. We are almost done with 2023! Well finally it appears there may be some progress. Sort of.

First a food truck.

A post 3 weeks ago on the Beach Taco Instagram account show a stylish video of an awesome looking Beach Taco food truck. Along with the post came the words "coming soon".

Then an update on their other soon to be location.

Meanwhile about a week ago another post on the Beach Taco Instagram page spoke about how exited the entrepreneurs are to be getting closer to opening their other new location in Springfield New Jersey. Which when all locations are finally up and running, would make 3 including the original and much beloved South Seaside Heights Boardwalk locale.

Then today another positive sign!

Earlier today my good friend, and social media comedian Chris Stasiak texted me and told me I really need to find out what's going on with Beach Taco on Fischer Blvd. He hipped me to the news that that new Beach Taco food truck was in front of the place and looked to be serving customers. Well, sure enough, I went back to the Instagram page and lo and behold here's what I found.

It's exciting that the food truck is up and running and encouraging it is parked in front of the yet to open restaurant on Fischer. However, it's still frustrating that there is no significant update on an opening date for this much anticipated Toms River eatery. I reached out via Instagram, and I will follow up if I get any info. Meanwhile, if you hear any news email me at Jsteal@wrat.com

That old diner on Ficher Blvd really was in bad shape, so I'm sure repairs have a lot to do with the delays. As well as those good old Toms River permits. Hopefully, we will be chowing down on tacos, burritos, and more from our friends at Beach Taco. Check out their menu from Seaside Heights here: https://www.beachtacosnj.com/menu/
