🌮 Hector’s Tacos Coming to 4th Ave in Olympia

If you drive up 4th Avenue just outside downtown Olympia… you might’ve noticed some serious construction lately.

A new restaurant called Hector’s Tacos is being built out near State & Central, just a short drive up the hill from the core downtown area.

📍 Location: 4th Ave near State & Central
🍽️ Style: Tex-Mex Cantina
🛠️ Status: Under construction
📅 Opening: "Later this year" (per website)

From the looks of their website and signage, it’s a Tex-Mex style cantina — and construction crews have been working hard, often well into the evening. While no firm opening date has been announced, the pace suggests it won’t be long.

Once open, this will add yet another flavorful stop to the growing food scene around downtown Olympia — especially for those looking for bold flavors, casual dining, and local vibes.

Why It Matters

Olympia’s restaurant landscape continues to evolve, especially in areas just outside the downtown core. With Hector’s Tacos joining recent new openings, the neighborhood along 4th Ave west of downtown is quickly becoming a hotspot for small, independently owned food spots.

This project also highlights the continued investment into Olympia’s food and beverage scene — even in tighter economic conditions.
