Roll-Em-Up Taquitos faces multiple lawsuits from franchisees alleging breach of contract and operating as a Ponzi scheme.
On the franchisee side, the blame has been placed squarely on the company having "extreme and unreasonable demands" for its franchisees. They complain of cost overruns when opening a new location, which means they end up spending far more than planned or promised. Potentially worse, the company-approved supplier that they need to use for food and supplies overcharges, according to franchisees.
