The restaurant opened in February 2014. In 2015, Dimas announced plans to open a Mexican street food concept, operating from Nacho Borracho's take-out window. Neon Taco closed in March 2019. Chef Ricardo Valdes opened El Xolo as a replacement almost immediately.In 2018, security called police seeking to remove political activist Joey Gibson, who refused to leave. According to Megan Hill of Eater Seattle, "Patriot Prayer supporters then flooded Neon Taco's Yelp page with negative reviews", many of which were subsequently removed.
Rachel Marshall was a co-owner, until her death in 2023.
