"According to a lawsuit filed in federal court, a German tourist named Faycal Manz traveled to New York City in August 2024 and decided to eat at the Times Square location of Los Tacos No. 1, despite having supposedly never eaten tacos before. The man ordered three and topped them off with helpings of red and green sauce at the chain's self-serve salsa station. Once he bit into his meal, the 'severe physical symptoms' started."
"After United States District Judge Dale E. Ho dismissed the case last month, some super fans of Los Tacos No. 1, which was founded Christian Pineda, Tyler Sanders, and Kyle Cameron in 2013 and has grown to nine locations across Manhattan with one more on the way, latched onto details from the frivolous lawsuit."
"One Brooklyn comedian and creator Tyreak Told You with more than 730,000 followers across TikTok and Instagram posted a video reading portions of the 12-page opinion. The comedian, who shared that the taco spot is his favorite in the city and he eats there regularly, deadpanned to the camera, 'I guess this was just too much for his German taste buds.'"
A German tourist named Faycal Manz visited Los Tacos No. 1 in Times Square in August 2024 and experienced severe physical reactions after consuming the restaurant's red and green salsa, including tongue burning, elevated heart rate, facial flushing, and persistent gastrointestinal issues and mouth sores. He filed a lawsuit in federal court two months later. U.S. District Judge Dale E. Ho dismissed the case. The lawsuit details subsequently went viral on social media, with content creators and fans using the absurd account to humorously endorse the restaurant's spicy offerings. A Brooklyn comedian's video reading portions of the court opinion garnered nearly 400,000 views in less than 24 hours, generating thousands of supportive comments.
