Temazcal Tequila Cantina and Jack's Coal Fired Pizza Close in Burlington

Temazcal Tequila Cantina and Jack’s Coal Fired Pizza Close in Burlington

by

Temazcal Tequila Cantina and Jack’s Coal Fired Pizza have both closed their doors at 2 Wall Street in Burlington, Massachusetts, according to reports from Boston’s Hidden Restaurants and nerest.com. The simultaneous shuttering of the Mexican restaurant and the adjacent pizza spot marks a significant change for the dining landscape in the northern Boston suburbs.

The closures were confirmed through multiple channels. A check of the Temazcal website showed the Burlington location had been removed from its list of active dining spots, and a phone call to Jack’s Coal Fired Pizza confirmed the establishment is no longer in business, nerest.com reported. While these two specific locations on Wall Street are gone, other Temazcal branches in Dedham and Lynnfield remain operational.

A Pattern of Contraction for Rebel Restaurants

The Burlington closures represent more than just the loss of two local eateries; they signal a continuing retreat for the hospitality group behind them. Rebel Restaurants, the Boston-based company that operates Temazcal and Jack’s, also manages Tony C’s Sports Bar & Grill locations in Burlington, Peabody, and Somerville. The group has faced several high-profile setbacks recently.

According to Hoodline, the Temazcal brand has lost two locations in less than a year. Before the Burlington exit, the chain’s Framingham restaurant on Route 9 closed its doors. That location had been in operation since 2018, occupying a 7,200-square-foot building that was acquired in January 2020 by Campanelli in a joint venture with TriGate Capital, as noted by the Boston Real Estate Times.

The contraction extends back to the beginning of the year. On January 31, 2026, Temazcal’s original 2011 flagship in Boston’s Seaport District closed at 250 Northern Ave. Hoodline reported that this specific shutdown occurred after the landlord, Lincoln Property Company, declined to renew the lease. That Seaport closure coincided with the simultaneous shutdown of the sister restaurant Tony C’s and resulted in the layoff of more than 80 employees.

Shifting Footprints in the Greater Boston Area

The movement of these brands highlights the volatility of the regional restaurant market, where lease renewals and suburban expansion strategies can shift rapidly. While the Seaport closure was explicitly tied to a landlord’s decision, the specific business reasons for the Framingham and Burlington closures have not been publicly announced.

The impact of these closures is felt most acutely by the local workforce and the suburban retail hubs that rely on consistent foot traffic. For the Burlington community, the loss of two distinct dining concepts at a single address represents a notable reduction in the variety of options available at the Wall Street dining area.

The Remaining Temazcal Map

Despite the recent losses, Rebel Restaurants remains an active player in the Massachusetts dining scene. The group has previously been tasked with significant culinary projects, such as being tapped in 2020 to curate the menu for The Lawn on D, a green space managed by the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority located next to the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center.

For those seeking the Temazcal brand, the company’s footprint has narrowed but has not vanished. The chain continues to operate in:

  • Dedham, MA
  • Lynnfield, MA

The disappearance of the Burlington locations follows a year of significant restructuring for the brand, moving away from its Seaport roots and its long-standing presence in Framingham.
