Condado Tacos has shuttered its Promenade on Providence location in Charlotte. The closure follows a summary ejectment complaint filed by the landlord over significant rent arrears.
Why it matters
The closure underscores the financial strain on retail tenants navigating high fixed costs, as landlords increasingly turn to court filings to recover delinquent balances.
The restaurant owed $79,108 in past-due rent and lease charges, exceeding five months of its $15,377.50 monthly rent. The chain continues to operate 49 locations across six states.

The details
Promenade Shopping Center LLC filed a summary ejectment complaint in Mecklenburg County court on September 14. The restaurant, which occupied a 4,500-square-foot space, has since been removed from the company's official website. The legal action highlights the operational risks of maintaining high-overhead retail leases when cash flow fails to cover fixed occupancy expenses.
Timeline
The Promenade on Providence location opened in June 2023.
Promenade Shopping Center LLC filed the eviction complaint on September 14, 2026.
Market Landscape
This exit at Promenade on Providence follows a trend of retail footprint consolidation in Charlotte, echoing the 2026 closure of the Ikea small-format store at the same center. Such vacancies place pressure on large commercial property owners to backfill specialized restaurant infrastructure.
Operators should review their own lease agreements and delinquency triggers to understand when an informal payment delay becomes a formal legal threat. Maintaining open communication with property managers before a summary ejectment filing is essential to protecting business continuity.
The takeaway
Retailers must proactively manage occupancy costs to avoid the public and financial fallout of eviction proceedings. Operators should regularly audit their lease terms and debt obligations to identify early signs of potential default before they reach the courtroom.
