East Anchorage gets tacos

El Green-Go is expanding with a second location in East Anchorage at Northern Lights Boulevard and Boniface Parkway.

Daily Alaska staff · February 8, 2026 · Anchorage

El Green-Go, the Anchorage food truck business, is opening a second location in East Anchorage at the corner of Northern Lights Boulevard and Boniface Parkway. The spot moves into a renovated former bank building, giving the operation its first full brick-and-mortar home.

For customers, that means more seating, more consistent hours, and a sit-down option instead of relying on the truck's schedule. The original downtown food truck will keep running through the summer tourism season, so it remains an option for people downtown.

The building recently went through a full renovation, turning a quiet corner of Northern Lights into a destination rather than a place drivers pass by. The new location adds another reason for people in East Anchorage to stop along that stretch of road.

The expansion keeps the downtown truck in place rather than replacing it, preserving the street food presence that built the business while adding a permanent location in East Anchorage.
