The Rocket Taco has landed Capitol Hill Mexican joint swaps corners on 19th Ave E

Rocket Taco has officially relocated to a newer, more manageable space at 550 19th Ave E in Capitol Hill, much to the delight of its loyal customers. Owner Steve Rosen expressed enthusiasm for the modern kitchen and expansive patio that the new location offers, promising a delightful atmosphere for enjoying margaritas. The restaurant's move follows the closure of its previous neighbor, Bounty Kitchen, which struggled during the pandemic. Meanwhile, local drag queen Howard Russell is set to open La Cha-Bliss, a wine shop that has seen overwhelming support from the LGBTQIA+ community. Russell's journey to launch the store has included a successful fundraising campaign, showcasing the power of community backing.

He hopes to open by the first week of April, pending the approval of a liquor license. Together, these developments illustrate the dynamic and supportive nature of Capitol Hill's local businesses. As Rocket Taco settles into its new home, all eyes will be on what comes next for the iconic restaurant space previously occupied by Kingfish Cafe.
