The coronavirus pandemic has hit restaurants particularly hard, and many restaurant workers have lost their jobs as businesses have closed indefinitely or for good as a result of the pandemic. Some, including Taco Mac locations, have begun to reopen dining rooms as the state has eased restrictions on restaurants.

The new Taco Mac location will be taking the same precautions that existing ones have in reopening their dining rooms. This includes all employees wearing masks, regular sanitation and changing seating to adhere to social distancing guidelines. The company's full list of reopening procedures can be found on its website.
