POPULAR Oxford taco eatery The Taco Bandits has closed.

The business, run by friends Ben Gibbons and Oliver Lee, had recently made the move from market stall to premises in Magdalen Road, East Oxford.

However a post on the restaurant’s Instagram page yesterday read: “It’s with great regret that we must break the news that Tacobandits will no longer be operating.

“We would like to thank everybody who visited, booked or followed us for your custom and support. We wish you all the best, Tacobandits.”

Since 2016 the Taco Bandits have had local slots at Gloucester Green Saturday Markets and held taco takeover pop up’s in a number of venues across Oxford.

Mr Gibbons and Mr Lee made announced the move to Magdalen Road in May, taking the place of former noodle bar Hyper Ramen.
