El Diablo has prospered despite competition from the Qdoba, Moe ’s and Chipotle chains. Of late, Chipotle has undertaken an aggressive expansion with new locations in New Castle and Stanton-Christiana.
El Diablo will be aided by a growing number of apartment units on the upper end of Market Street as well as other new restaurants. The company’s website also features nutritional information, a rarity among smaller restaurant groups.
