A brazen burglary at Taqueria San Jose occurred on May 4, 2026, in Little Chute, Wisconsin, when thieves stole approximately $4,000 from an ATM within a mere two minutes. The incident took place at 5:34 a.m., as captured by surveillance video.
Leticia Navarro, the owner of Taqueria San Jose for the past 20 years, expressed her shock after witnessing the footage. “I ran to the cameras and saw them leaving,” she stated, emphasizing the rapidity of the crime.
Navarro also noted her relief that no one was present during the incident, saying, “I was very scared. Thank God it happened when no one was there.” This incident raises significant concerns regarding the safety and security of local businesses.
Meanwhile, another development in the area involves El Charro Mexican Grill, which is set to open a new location in Little Chute at 137C W. Main St., although the exact opening date remains unclear. This new establishment will replace the former Stone Arch Tied House, which closed on February 10.
The closure of the Stone Arch Tied House and subsequent plans for El Charro’s opening reflect ongoing changes in the local dining landscape. El Charro already operates another location at 103 W. Huron St. in Berlin.
As local authorities investigate the burglary at Taqueria San Jose, Navarro hopes that increased security measures will be implemented to protect businesses like hers from future incidents. Observers suggest that community awareness and vigilance will be essential in safeguarding these establishments.
