Tortilla Jo’s, a beloved Mexican restaurant that has been serving Downtown Disney visitors since 2004, has extended its last day of service until April 7.
The restaurant was initially slated to close on March 31.
“Thank you, Tortilla Jo’s fans, for an incredible 20 years! We’re giving you one last chance to raise a glass and enjoy all of your favorites by extending our last day of service to April 7,” the restaurant posted on Instagram.
“We look forward to celebrating with you one last time. ¡Gracias por todo!”
Taqueria by Tortilla Jo’s is still expected to remain open until April 13.
The closure comes as theme park officials continue renovating the outdoor shopping district. Initial news of the project was announced at Destination D23, a Disney fan convention, in 2021.
Some restaurants underwent renovations, like the newly renamed Jazz Kitchen Coastal Grill & Patio, formerly known as Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen. Other locations, like Catal Restaurant and its outdoor bar, Uva Bar, closed to make way for new establishments coming to the area.
Officials previously announced that new restaurants like Din Tai Fung, Paseo and Porto’s Bakery will open at Downtown Disney in the near future.
During an OC Forum event in May, Disneyland Resort president Ken Potrock said the Downtown Disney transformation would take 18 months to complete, meaning officials hope to complete the transformation shortly before Thanksgiving.
