Daily Dining News: Chando's Tacos Adding Second Location in July
June 04, 2012
When you've got lines out to the sidewalk, the smart thing to do is open a second location. That's exactly what Chando's Tacos is doing, reports Blair Anthony Robertson in the Sac Bee.
Chando's Tacos is one of the great little success stories on the local food scene. The food is excellent, the people are friendly and Chando himself is one smart and charismatic restaurateur.
As reported in today's Bee, Chando's is about to grow. It already expanded from its tiny flagship location at 863 Arden Way to include a mobile food truck. Now Chando (AKA Lisandro Madrigal) has secured a second location at the corner of Fruitridge and Power Inn roads.
The new location is scheduled to open in early July and will serve alcohol.

Sound Effects - When Randall Selland and Nancy Zimmer recently opened their new El Dorado Hills restaurant, they forgot just one thing: a sound check. Modeled and named after their popular East Sac venue, the new Selland’s Market Cafe is 4,200 square feet of pretty, with pressed-tin ceiling tiles, marble countertops and lots of windows. Unfortunately, some of that prettiness backfired. Sound reverberated off the hard surfaces. The restaurant was noisy. Customers complained. Fortunately, Selland knew exactly who to call: sound engineer Steve Pettyjohn, whose company, The Acoustics & Vibration Group, had previously been brought in to acoustically retrofit Selland’s K Street jewel, Ella. The results, according to Selland, were nothing short of phenomenal. Cathy Cassinos-Carr in Sac Mag.
