“Oh hello Instagram! Happy National Taco Day! @tinandtaco Our College Park location is back in action Monday-Sunday 11am-10pm,” the post reads.

The business had been closed since at least August.

“Due to staffing issues we will be temporarily closed at this location. Please, join us at one of our other 6 locations,” a sign on the door read during the closure.

Staffing issues have plagued restaurants around the country and throughout Central Florida. The shortages have forced some businesses to offer more money to workers or hiring bonuses. Other restaurants have adjusted their hours of operation or temporarily closed to make up for their lack of workers

The College Park location opened up in October 2019, according to the company’s website, and was the third Tin & Taco to open since the company was established in 2017. The restaurant was founded by Rob Bair, who also founded Gringos Locos in 2009.
