Family-owned SJ restaurant could be plucked from existence if Chick-fil-A wins approval

A MEXICAN RESTAURANT serving San Jose residents for more than 20 years may be pushed out of its building to make way for a new fast-food location.

Taqueria Eduardo on 255 Race St. off West San Carlos Street is one of two San Jose locations owned by Luis Martinez. But that could drop to one if a new Chick-fil-A restaurant is approved at the June 11 Planning Director’s Hearing. Community groups including the Buena Vista Neighborhood Association and CatalyzeSV have joined Martinez in opposing the restaurant’s displacement.
