Leucadia Bull Taco location to get trendy Asian restaurant from D.C.

Eater San Diego:
Chiko, the Eater Awards 2017 editor’s choice winner for Game Changer of the Year in Washington, D.C., is winging its way to North County, where it will open in Encinitas later this summer. Named for the two cuisines — Chinese and Korean — that the menu most represents, it’s been an out-of-the gate hit since its opening last July and remains one of the toughest tables to score in the nation’s capital.

  1. Leucadia already has a fusion restaurant - Chinatown on Leucadia Blvd. It's going to be tough for a newcomer to top this, especially if they come from Trumpland.

    1. Chinese Italian fusion?

    2. Chinatown is awful.

      If you think otherwise, then you need to go to Convoy and try real Asian food.

  2. I think you mean the previous DB Hacker's location.

  3. Originally DB hackers, yes, but Bull Taco was the former restaurant for years after DB Hackers.

    It is a tough business when something like 70% or so, don't make it more than a few years, if that long.

    Best wishes to the next one.

    1. There is more parking there than you think.

    2. If there's enough parking, why did two previous restaurants in that spot fail?

    3. 7:25 thinks the only reason restaurants fail is parking.

      Genius.

    4. Well, OK, if there's enough parking at that location, why did the two previous restaurants there go out of business?

    5. Bull Taco went on a growth spree and opened too many locations to properly manage quality and service.

    6. If the 101 location were a money maker for a restaurant, there would be a long-term restaurant there.

    7. If Bull Taco didn’t have a wider management problem, their other locations would have survived.

    8. Did DB Hacker have a wider management problem?

    9. What about the Jamroc 101 Caribbean Grill?

      Why did it go OOB?

  5. There is illegal parking on the right-of-way up and down 101. There is no legal parking available on lecaudia coastline.

  6. DB Hacker's didn't "go out of business," the owners retired.
