Casa Taco Sea Isle, NJ, Moves to Former Angelo’s Spot After Fire

Casa Taco is returning to Sea Isle City, and people are excited.

After a fire tore through Fish Alley in August 2024, taking down two restaurants—including the beloved Casa Taco—there was uncertainty about whether it would reopen.

Now, six months later, it’s official: Casa Taco is returning for summer 2025, this time in a prime new location.

Casa Taco is moving to the corner of Landis Avenue and JFK Boulevard, one of the busiest spots in town.

This is where Angelo’s Ristorante and Pizzeria stood for more than 40 years.

It’s a big upgrade from Casa Taco’s old spot on Park Road, which was near other small restaurants by the bay.

Now, instead of being tucked away, the restaurant will be right in the middle of the action.

Many people in Sea Isle City remember Angelo’s.

The building was first built in the early 1980s, where a gas station used to be.

For years, the Camano family ran the pizza place and proudly flew Italian and American flags outside every summer.

Owner Angelo Camano had been considering what to do with the property, which will now become Casa Taco’s new home.

Casa Taco first opened in 2020 and quickly became a favorite spot for tacos, burritos, and margaritas.

It was a far cry from the usual restaurants in town, so people couldn’t get enough.

But when the fire ripped through Fish Alley on August 14, 2024, it left a huge void.

Nonetheless, with the announcement of the new location, locals are excited to have their favorite Mexican food back.

The new space is bigger, easier to find, and surrounded by shops, bars, and lots of foot traffic.

It’s a great move for the restaurant and for everyone who missed eating there last summer.

Sea Isle City has seen a lot of changes over the years.

Many favorite businesses have come and gone due to storms, fires, or simply moving on.

Braca’s Café and Theater was a popular entertainment spot for over 50 years but eventually shut down.

Busch’s Seafood Lounge was open for 132 years before it was torn down in 2014 and replaced by The Dunes Resort.

The famous LaCosta Lounge, a nightlife spot since 1972, was replaced by the Ludlam Bar and Grill.

Funtown Amusement Park, which used to be between 32nd and 33rd streets, closed after the Pittaluga family decided to sell.

The Madeline Theater was another big attraction, but it was destroyed by the Ash Wednesday Storm in 1962.

More recently, there have been even more changes in Sea Isle City.

Anthony’s Sea Isle Restaurant is moving into The Beachwood inside The Dunes Resort.

The town is also building a new community recreation center where the old Sea Isle City Public School used to be.

As we can see, Sea Isle City keeps changing, but it still keeps its charm.

The restaurant shared the big news on Facebook and its website, and fans were thrilled.

Everyone is looking forward to the grand reopening and getting their favorite tacos and margaritas again.

After six months without it, this is one of the most exciting restaurant comebacks in town.
