The Westfield location of "A Taco Affair" is closing after less than a year in business, the owners said on social media. Management is also shutting doors at the Little Falls location, but will still serve customers out of their food truck and Denville restaurant.

Why it matters

The closure of A Taco Affair's Westfield location highlights the ongoing challenges facing the restaurant industry, particularly in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Rising food costs and other economic factors have made it difficult for some establishments to remain viable, even those that had previously found success.

The details

A Taco Affair set up shop at 27 Elm St. in Westfield in May 2025, taking over the space previously occupied by "Feast Catering" which closed at the end of 2024 after 25 years in business. The eatery serves non-traditional varieties of flavors and offerings for a Mexican restaurant that include sides, shareable dishes, desserts, and more. Along with the Denville location and food truck, there is a restaurant still serving customers in Savannah, Georgia.
