Ballard has lost another gem: Malena’s Tacos (2010 NW 56th St) has closed up shop.
The closure was noticed by My Ballard reader Paul Gambill, who said he noticed the windows had brown paper covering them, and a handwritten note reading “Closed, sorry” hung on the door.
We spoke to the Queen Anne Malena’s (620 W McGraw St), who couldn’t tell us the reason, but confirmed it’s “closed forever”.
The taco shop had a big kitchen fire back in February 2008, which sent customers running, gutted the kitchen and left behind smoke and water damage. It reopened in May 2009 after an extensive restoration.
