Dashing in between classes to buy a crunchwrap supreme from Taco Bell will no longer be possible because the new Pete's Fresco Grill, an authentic Mexican eatery, has opened in its place.
The Daily 49er says that Don Penrod, general manager of the 49er shops, states, "The Taco Bell license came up for renewal and we personally thought that we can open up a more authentic Mexican restaurant."
Pete's Fresco Grill is a brand new, CSULB-owned eatery, similar to the Beach Walk, The Nugget, and The Outpost. Its menu consists of burritos, burrito bowls, tacos, quesadillas, tortas, and salads. Items can be ordered a la carte or in combos. In addition to the authenticity, Pete's is also a healthier alternative.
"There's a limited number of places you can eat on our campus. The customer base remains the same," says 6th year Civil Engineering major Jhon Manalese. "People will be willing to try Pete's at least once. If the food tastes good, then it shouldn't be a problem since the demand is just the same as when Taco Bell was there."
The average combo at Pete's is $7 compared to the $5 combo at Taco Bell.
