Tacos Chilango, an authentic Mexico City-style taqueria in Avondale, has opened a second location on the southeast corner of Indian School and Jackrabbit Trail in Buckeye. It sits next to Ebb & Flow Coffee in Verrado.

According to Tacos Chilango’s website, the restaurant is family-owned and strives to serve the authentic and emotive food of Mexico City while delivering outstanding quality and hospitality.

“We believe in the pleasure of street food, and in the power that it has to connect and transport every guest that comes through our doors to our beloved hometown,” the website said. “We bring you Mexico City specialties such as campechano, suadero and al pastor, as well as classics like carnitas and carne asada grilled over mesquite wood and stuffed into warm artisanal corn or flour tortillas. We look forward to serving you!”

The menu features tacos, “machetes,” quesadillas, burros, tortas, churros, aguas frescas, margaritas and bottled beer.

Storage King Litchfield recently signed on as a U-Haul neighborhood dealer to serve the Litchfield Park community.

Storage King will offer essential services like U-Haul trucks, trailers, towing equipment, moving supplies, and in-store pickup for boxes.

U-Haul has teamed with independent dealers to offer rental equipment to do-it-yourself movers since 1945. During these challenging times for small businesses, more than 21,000 dealers across the United States and Canada are generating supplemental income through their U-Haul affiliation. When customers rent from a U-Haul dealer, they are directly supporting an independent small business in their community.

Because no financial investment is required to be a dealer, these local affiliates are not U-Haul franchises. They are simply small businesses that have committed a portion of their lot space for U-Haul equipment, and a portion of their time to help meet the mobility needs of their neighbors.

Learn more about the dealer program and how to join by visiting uhaul.com/dealer.

Storage King Litchfield’s hours are 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, and 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday. The location is closed Saturdays and Sundays.
