FREDERICKSBURG, Va. – After six years of serving tacos and building community, Juan More Taco is preparing to close its doors at the beloved Caroline Street location in downtown Fredericksburg.
In a heartfelt message shared on Facebook, the family-owned business announced it would be leaving the space after lease negotiations fell through. “Every chapter has an end,” the post began, “and today we’re writing the last lines at our Caroline St. location.”
Juan More Taco opened its first brick-and-mortar shop in Fredericksburg in 2019 after gaining a local following with its food truck. The shop quickly became more than a place to grab a bite—it became a hub for connection, celebration, and community service. During the pandemic, the restaurant partnered with others to deliver more than 45,000 meals to elderly residents.
“We’ve shared so many memories inside these walls,” the post continued, citing moments like First Fridays, holiday parades, and years of watching customers’ children grow. Special recognition was given to longtime team members Jose and Aaron, with Jose—eldest son of founder Maria Martin—described as “a true cornerstone of Juan More Taco.”
Although the restaurant doesn’t yet have a closing date, the owners invited customers to visit in the coming weeks to say goodbye and use any gift cards. Remaining balances will be honored at their Richmond location. The food truck will also keep rolling, with events in Fredericksburg continuing as planned.
“This is not a goodbye,” the message concluded. “This is a ‘see y’all later.’”

After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
