New Home for Taco Diablo, Lulu’s Seems Likely
Taco Diablo was destroyed in a December fire and Lulu's closed in January after two decades in Evanston.
The owner of Taco Diablo, which was destroyed in a fire in December, and Lulu’s, which shuttered its doors in January after 20 years, is planning to construct a new Davis Street building to house the latest incarnation of the two restaurants under one roof.
Daniel Kelch wants to build a two-story building at 1026 Davis St. in the space being vacated by Tom Thumb.
The building would house both restaurants, which would share a kitchen, according to city documents. The building would have retail space as well.
