Taqueria Eduardo, a Mexican restaurant in San Jose for over 20 years, may be displaced due to plans for a new Chick-fil-A. The restaurant's owner, Luis Martinez, has joined with local community groups in opposing this change, underscored by an online petition that has gained over 2,300 signatures. Martinez expresses his concerns about the uncertainty surrounding his restaurant's future and the impact of development on the local community. Previous attempts to bring similar fast-food chains to nearby areas were met with resistance from residents, reflecting a broader struggle between local businesses and corporate interests.
"We've been going through uncertainty since we found out about the Chick-fil-A plans," Martinez told San José Spotlight. "I want to remodel, but I don't know if the changes would be permanent or temporary."
"I know they're trying to improve and develop the whole San Carlos area, but a lot of our customers want us to stay as part of the community," he said. "We have another location on Bascom Avenue, but this location is where we really make a living."
