Support the staff of Red Star Taco Bar
Donation protected
On Christmas Eve morning, an arsonist tried to burn down the building that Red Star Taco Bar inhabits. He came within 5 minutes of succeeding, and would have destroyed our baby if it weren't for the efforts of our staff and the Seattle Fire Department. We did lose our back patio, storage, and suffered serious damage in the back half of the restaurant. It's looking like we'll be closed for at least a month as we rebuild and clean.
We've heard from so many people expressing their love and support for us, and asking how they can help. No one in the Red Star crew is used to doing anything other than working hard and building our own success, but there are times when things are simply out of our control.
Now that we have a clear idea of the sheer amount of loss and the time we'll need to be closed, we are humbly creating an event to help with the recovery. Our top priority is making sure our staff is supported financially while we wait out the reconstruction. They make us who we are, as a business and as a member of the community, and without them we are nothing at all.
We are asking our friends across the city and across the world to lend a helping hand. We're throwing a huge party at the Ballroom in Fremont, and will have drink specials, multiple raffles, live music performances (TBD) and art that was produced locally - all of which will go toward supporting our staff. Please join us for a night of laughs, drinks, and undoubtedly a few tears, as we raise several toasts to our people and our community.
We cannot begin to tell you how thankful we are to call Fremont home and just how loved the city as a whole has made us feel. A special word of acknowledgement needs to go out to the Ballroom - for graciously hosting this event, for the unconditional support since the beginning, and for being the launch point of the friendships that are the basis of Red Star Taco Bar.
There are 3 Ways you can show support:
1. Come to the event and party with us!

Once again from all of us at Red Star Taco Bar, thank you so much for all of the support, the love, the concern, and the kind words. We are wishing you all a wonderful 2019!
