Downtown Mokena’s restaurant scene was ZAPPED with the addition of Zap Taco House on Mokena Street. As Todd and Jason (owners of Zap) are bringing food and entertainment to downtown we will share the story of this buildings beginning. In 1901 the building we know as Zap, was moved from an unknown location to its home today and John Hatch, a WW1 Veteran and Mokena’s First Village Clerk, established Hatch Hall. This building hosted dances, community meetings, VFW Meetings, parties, performances and more over the years.
It has lived a quiet life for the last number of years, until 2021, When Zap Taco House opened. Matt and I talk to Gino Picciola, who is the owner of the building and did the remodel before Jason and Todd opened the restaurant. Gino also owns a few other downtown properties and he gave us the scoop on the remodel of the old Paulie’s Pizza building that is next to Tribes on Front Street!
