Chilacates Closes Its Cambridge Street Location in East Cambridge

A local group of Mexican restaurants has shut down one of its newer locations in what is being seen as more of a move than an outright closure.

According to a Bluesky post from @troysch1.bsky.social, Chilacates is on Cambridge Street in East Cambridge is no longer in business, with a sign out front saying the following:

Chilacates has officially relocated! Our former location at 561 Cambridge St. is now closed. We're excited to welcome you to our new home inside the Cambridgeside Mall at: 100 Cambridgeside Place, Cambridge, MA 02141. 

The Cambridge Street location of Chilacates first opened in March of 2024, with the Cambridgeside location debuting in October. (The website for all locations of Chilacates is at https://chilacatesmx.com/)
