Summary
The council granted a wine and 3.2% malt liquor on‑sale license for Gilberto’s Mexican Taco Shop after a clerk presentation that the applicants submitted required paperwork and the Blaine Police Department background check found no concerns; no members of the public spoke at the hearing.
The Blaine City Council approved a wine and 3.2% malt liquor on‑sale license for Gilberto’s Mexican Taco Shop (2331 08th Lane NE) during its Nov. 3 meeting after the clerk confirmed the applicants had submitted required forms and fees and that a background investigation by the Blaine Police Department raised no concerns.
Clerk Sorensen told the council the license, if approved, would be active through June 30, 2026 and eligible for renewal. No applicants or members of the public spoke at the opened public hearing.
During the approval discussion, a council member encouraged residents to patronize the restaurant, calling it "an awesome, authentic taco place." The council voted to approve the license by voice vote.
What happens next: The city's administrative process will issue the license per the clerk’s presentation and the license will be active through the date specified unless subsequent action modifies it.
