Both closed.

Owner was probably hemorrhaging money.

Owner closed both and is focusing on Metro afaik from the Facebook closing posts. Slim up operations.

I bet it has to do with something about people not wanting to work anymore. /s Pat Duran is an asshole.

GATC closed and the space is going to be a Dublin's Pass. Hard Knox closed and is going to be a Pat's Some-Shit-Or-The-Other.

I am so upset when did GATC close that is where my fiancé and I met and we were planning on booking the taco truck for our reception.

I just didn't know if it was another deal like Hot Cluckers or what.

Its fine really, GATC really went downhill from its opening day, that is why I stopped going.

Also, because it was one of Pat's restaurants, it was very overpriced for what you got.

It didn't used to be over priced it was originally Santa fe grill then got changed to springfield gourmet taco and finished as great american taco co. The reason the quality went down and prices went up was because Pat tried to franchise it out (hence the final name change). Stopped being made fresh in kitchen and started coming in bottles and cans. He also made several personnel decisions that ran it into the ground. My fiance and I have probably worked for him for 15 years between the two of us. I'm glad we have moved on to bigger and better, just sad we can't have the nostalgia of where we met at our wedding.

Scumbag owner wanted to retire so he closed them down.

Looked good but refused to pay those prices from Day 1.

Hard Knox was in a bad spot and didn’t get any attention. Great American taco was just kind of bland. If you haven’t noticed Springfield is getting more real Mexican food less fake
