(KRON) — A San Jose restaurant famous for its massive five-pound burritos is closing up shop after 32 years. Iguanas Home Of The Burritozilla is having its final day of service on Sunday, July 27, the business announced in a social media post. The downtown San Jose shop closing is the one on 300 S 3rd St.
“The Orozco family, as many of you know, is one of the most genuine and inspiring families in San Jose, if not the world. They’ve always put others first, and when you’re with them, you’re family,” Iguanas wrote in an Instagram post last week. “When you eat their food, you’re part of that family. It’s tough to say goodbye to the business, but we’re so happy for them as they move into the next chapter of their lives. This may be the end of an era, but Iguanas lives on forever. Stop by their downtown location now through July 27th for one last bite. With love and respect.”
The upcoming closure of Iguanas’ downtown restaurant comes shortly after two other nearby locations closed earlier this year. According to their social media, Iguanas closed their East San Jose and Santa Clara locations this past spring.
