North-side Jacky’s reopens with quick-serve model
July 6, 2020
After being closed for three months because of the coronavirus pandemic, Jacky’s Restaurant on North Cliff Avenue has reopened with a new business model.
Instead of offering table service, Jacky’s Burrito Express has a counter where customers choose the ingredients as servers build their burritos or bowls.
The menu also includes tacos and a few other dishes, including Jacky’s signature wet burrito, but diners won’t find the full offerings available at the other two restaurants.
Jacky’s Burrito Express opens at 6 a.m. weekdays, and breakfast burritos are available until 10 a.m. The restaurant closes at 4 p.m. or sometimes earlier if traffic is slow, an employee said.
Owner Jacky Vanloh moved her north-side location from Cliff and Benson to the former Taco Bell location at 3808 N. Cliff Ave. in January 2019.
Vanloh’s other quick-serve location, Jacky’s Burrito Express on West 12th Street, offers a more extensive menu.
