Back in February, we told you about a new food truck that opened in Amarillo. It quickly became a fan favorite with hibachi lovers. However, soon people started asking on our local Facebook pages what happened to this new food truck.
How unusual for something to open with such flavor and hype, to close so abruptly. The food truck was Street Scene Hibachi. What led to the food truck’s closure?
- Last post on Facebook was March 20
- Rumors of the closing were popping up on social media
- One of the owners confirmed the closure
Why Street Scene Hibachi Closed
After we initially shared the opening of Street Scene Hibachi, we stayed in touch with one of the owners, Christopher Padilla. Speaking with him recently, he shared that the business partnership had ended and that he had decided to move on independently. After the closure, Padilla moved quickly to reset everything for the return of the food truck. Switching things over isn’t easy or cheap when it comes to name changes, permits, and tax IDs.
Cross Road Hibachi Is the New Chapter
The food truck will be back and reopen as Cross Road Hibachi. Same owner. Same trailer. Same great food. Cross Road Hibachi will be located at the same location, 4515 S. Georgia. Padilla says he is aiming to open on Friday, April 17.
It’s still me and the same food,” Padilla said. “I’ve put a lot into Amarillo because I love this city. Cross Road Hibachi is going to be like I never left
