This Boise restaurant renovated, revamped, reopened. Now it’s closing downtown

A downtown Boise restaurant that overhauled its brand is now pulling the plug.

Calle 75 Taco Shop, 110 N. 11th St., will close after lunch service Friday, March 13. Its husband-and-wife owners plan to focus on Calle 75 Tacos’ catering and food truck events.

“Since 2008, this business was built on asphalt, in parking lots, farmers markets, concerts, weddings, private events and catering gigs,” Calle 75 wrote in a social media announcement. “Street energy. That’s our DNA.”

Opened in 2018, the restaurant eventually closed temporarily in late 2024 for renovation and a revamp of the Mexican street-style menu. But after reopening with a stylish, colorful new interior, Calle 75 shuttered its dining room weeks later and restricted public access to the takeout window.

For years, Calle 75 offered restaurants in two cities. But after a decade, its small taqueria at The Village at Meridian closed in 2024.

With the downtown Boise restaurant’s lease up for renewal, Calle 75’s owners decided to “step away from our brick-and-mortar spot” and return to their roots, the social media post explained.

“... Most of you who follow us are aware we have been running extremely scaled back hours at the restaurant the last several months with our focus on our offsite catering and events.”

“... As we step into year 18, we’re in a new season of life — and we’re choosing freedom, flexibility and focus. Going all-in on catering and food truck events allows us to deliver the absolute best version of our food and hospitality without compromise. It lets us build experiences, not just transactions. And it gives our family the time that matters most.”
