Less than four years after opening its first location, a popular Mexican restaurant that started in southwest Cedar Rapids is expanding again, this time to another city in the metro.

Taco Depot first opened at 2665 Edgewood Parkway SW back in March of 2019. Seemingly popular from day one, it was only six months later that they revealed a second location would be opening on the other side of the city.

Even as the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Taco Depot II opened in the spring of 2020. It's located in the former Long John Silver's building across 38th street from the Town & Country Shopping Center.

Then, in March of 2021, Taco Depot III was revealed.

The third location, known as Taco Depot III-Kirkwood, opened at 35 Miller Ave SW--in November of 2021.

Now, it's been announced that Taco Depot is coming to Marion. It will be located along Highway 13, north of the Highway 151 interchange, on the west side of 13, south of Culver's. This photo shows the approximate location a new building will be constructed that will be home to the restaurant.

Obviously, it's likely to be a while before Taco Depot 4 (no roman numeral, at least according to the post below) opens. However, when you see construction work in that area, now you'll know exactly what's going into that location.

If you've never been to a Taco Depot in Cedar Rapids before, here are some additional photos of their food:
