Dude who sells TACOS professes his love for T.A.C.O. Trump and sells FEWER TACOS as a result. SAD! RIGGED! WOKE! SAD!

The controversy ignited after TikTok creator @harrie385, who exposes "Latino MAGA businesses," posted a viral video highlighting pro-Trump posts allegedly made by Robledo on Facebook, SFGate reported. The clip racked up over 76,000 views and sparked a frenzy of angry comments.

The timing couldn't be worse.

The beloved chain, credited with inventing the California burrito, has 80 locations across California, Nevada, and Texas. The company has now become a lightning rod for accusations of hypocrisy.

"Did this CEO forget that all of his restaurants are based on Mexican dishes, who wouldn't have made it here without the immigrants?" the TikTok video pointedly asked.

Now, a Facebook group called "A Strong Nevada" was rallying supporters to ditch Roberto's entirely. "Reynaldo Robledo, the CEO of Roberto's Taco Shop is a huge MAGA supporter and supports ICE!" the group stated, calling for a full boycott.

1. Some people make no sense

3. I don't understand how ANY LATINO can witness ICE and Miller and still be a "Latino For Trump."

I really don't have the time or interest to conduct a study on how many of these people have $$$$$$$$$, which would make sense in the age of Broligarchs, and how many of them just turned on Fox "News" and believed Trump.

I'm Italian. If I saw an article that said "TRUMP IS TARGETING ITALIANS," I don't see how I'd possibly be an "Italian For Trump."

I guess the "Latinos For Trump" have their reasons. C'est la vie.

8. Reynaldo Roberto was always a bit of a jerk.

He paid his workers crap, and cheated a lot of his large family members who helped him get off the ground when he started expanding by roping them in as "free" or delayed pay labor.

A lot of the 'Bertos restaurants around Southern California were started by former employees and pissed off family members who quit on him and started their own places; when he tried to sue a bunch of them (e.g. Filibertos, Rigabertos, Albertos, Adarbertos, and Alibertos - the latter was started by Alison, his niece) for "trademark" in the 1990's he lost big.

As for his claim of "inventing" the California Burrito (A loaded 2 lb. Carne Asada burrito with french fries), it was invented by a rival storefront Mexican place - Seguros, I think - in El Cajon in early 1980 -something (because that situation became almost a gangland style war when the California Burrito first came out). He did invent the cholesterol bomb known as Carne Asada steak fries.

But yeah, his reputation for abuse and paycheck theft against his employees was so widespread, that even the undocumented didn't want to work for him and all the social service, student services, and charity "job finder" places still refuse to list his restaurants for potential employment; he ended up having to close down and sell about 2/3 of his 24 restaurants over the mid 2000's.
