Fuzzy’s Taco Shop, the beloved fast-casual+ restaurant brand known for its flavorful tacos, laid-back atmosphere, and upbeat vibe, is returning to Temple, Texas, with a renewed spirit and a grand reopening event scheduled for Monday, July 21, 2025. Located at 7425 West Adams Avenue, Suite 110, the refreshed and reimagined restaurant will open its doors to guests after being temporarily shuttered due to a devastating tornado that impacted the community last year.
The reopening marks a significant moment for both the Fuzzy’s team and the Temple community, symbolizing resilience, recovery, and a commitment to rebuilding stronger than ever. The newly designed space promises to deliver everything fans have loved about Fuzzy’s—with an exciting update. Guests can expect scratch-made tacos, signature frozen margaritas, and a welcoming vibe, all in a revamped environment that includes a larger layout and an expansive outdoor patio.
To kick off the return in style, Fuzzy’s is hosting a special grand reopening celebration with a can’t-miss giveaway: Free Tacos for a Year for the first 50 guests in line when doors open on July 21. The offer is expected to draw a crowd of long-time Fuzzy’s fans and curious newcomers eager to experience the brand’s distinctive mix of bold flavors, chilled drinks, and good energy.
A Fresh Take on the Fuzzy’s Experience
While the tornado forced the Temple location to temporarily close, the time away allowed co-owners Jasmine Deal and Dawson Lowry to dream up a refreshed vision for the restaurant.
“Temple has always been an incredibly supportive and close-knit community, and we’re so grateful for the patience and encouragement we’ve received over the past year,” said Deal. “We’ve been working hard to bring back not just the Fuzzy’s menu, but also the feeling of community and connection that makes this place special.”
Lowry echoed her sentiments, noting the local enthusiasm that’s built steadily in anticipation of the reopening. “This part of Temple is full of life—families, professionals, students, and everything in between. We’ve always loved how West Adams Avenue brings people together, and we’re thrilled to be back in the mix,” he said.
Fuzzy’s Temple will serve as more than just a restaurant; it aims to be a community gathering spot, a place where locals can drop in for a quick bite or linger over drinks with friends on the sun-filled patio.

Rebuilding Stronger, Together

“We were heartbroken when we had to close last year,” said Deal. “But that time gave us an opportunity to reflect, rebuild, and invest in the things that matter—our people, our community, and our restaurant. We’re not just reopening; we’re reintroducing ourselves with even more passion for serving Temple.”
The grand reopening event on July 21 promises to be a celebration not just of food, but of resilience, gratitude, and local pride. With giveaways, tacos, drinks, and music, it will be a day to remember and a signal that Fuzzy’s Taco Shop is officially back—and better than ever.
