Akron-based taco, Mexican bakery chain planning first central Ohio location

While Barra Tacos has been shuttered for more

than a year now in Upper Arlington, another Ohio-based taco shop appears to be taking over the space it once occupied.

According to building permits filed with the City of Upper Arlington, the Akron chain La Loma is taking over the former home of Barra Tacos, which is located at 3051 Northwest Blvd.

Barra opened its Upper Arlington location on early 2021, before closing in September of 2022.

At 3,174 square feet, the restaurant space is work is currently under construction, and will see signage, new bathrooms, a “revamped” patio and more.

The Akron-based chain offers a variety of burritos, fajitas, tacos and more, in addition to its own Hispanic bakery.

La Loma couldn’t be reached for comment before this story was posted, and it’s unclear when the taco chain plans to open. La Loma operates a pair of Ohio locations, with restaurants in Akron and Canton.
