Deez Tacos, a California taco truck known for West Coast–style street tacos, is trading the parking lot circuit for a permanent storefront in Anderson Township. Owners Des and Jillian Romo are opening their first local brick-and-mortar this spring, bringing tacos, quesadillas and other handhelds to the Cincinnati suburbs. The move marks a milestone for the mobile brand as it shifts from a roving schedule to a fixed kitchen with regular hours.
As reported by the Cincinnati Business Courier, the Romos will serve West Coast–inspired street tacos, quesadillas, and a honey chipotle chicken at the Anderson Township location. The publication notes this will be the company’s first permanent storefront after years of operating as a food truck.
Anderson Township, a southeastern Cincinnati suburb of roughly 44,000 people, is the setting for the new shop, and township materials point to a steady residential population and targeted commercial corridors that support neighborhood dining, according to Anderson Township. Local reporting on the area's comprehensive plan says officials are steering careful growth to balance housing, retail, and green space, creating opportunities for small operators and independents, as per WCPO.
From Truck To Counter
Many vendors move from mobile service to a fixed address to capture steadier daytime traffic and expand their offerings beyond the event-driven sales that trucks rely on. Industry coverage includes multiple examples of truck-born concepts that have used a storefront, or a food-hall or ghost-kitchen step, as a pathway to growth and more reliable hours, operations analysts say, according to Restaurant Dive.
What To Expect
The Romos told the local business press they plan to keep the menu focused on signature tacos and handhelds rather than a broad sit-down offering, leaning into the truck's most popular items. That tight, recognizable menu is the immediate plan described in the Cincinnati Business Courier piece.
Owners have not yet announced an exact opening date or regular hours, and community food fans can expect the Romos and local outlets to share more details as the build-out and permits are finalized. For now, the shift from truck to storefront stands out as another small-business win for the suburb’s growing restaurant mix.
