Tacos Los Cholos Fullerton

Keep your wallet close when in this store! Let me start out by saying that the food is absolutely amazing and worth the money. However it wasn't the food that we had a problem with, let me explain. On October 6th 2022 we were on a vacation to Disneyland and stayed in Fullerton, CA. That evening we ate tacos at the Fullerton location. While there we had 2 ladies working the front of the house. One girl had a nose ring and was working the register and the other was working the dining room delivering food and cleaning tables. I would describe both interactions with these two ladies as meh. They weren't rude but they seemed apathetic in most regards and not eager to please...which is fine for this type of dinning. The problems started when we left the restaurant. Upon leaving my 10 year old daughter forgot to grab her purse and it took her an hour before she realized it. Knowing that her phone was in her purse I opened up my app and tracked the phone back to the taco shop. As I drove back to the store I called to inquire about the green little purse containing my daughter's phone. The voice on the phone sounded allot like nose ring girl but I can't be sure. I can only say that when I started to ask about the purse the person on the phone was very quick to say she didn't have it. Maybe realizing that the hastiness in answer seemed suspicious she then started asking normal follow-up questions like, where we sat, and the color of the purse, and ultimately proceeded to tell me that it was not turned in for a second time. I told her that I had tracked the phone back to the restaurant and that I was coming over to look around.

When I arrived at the restaurant I looked all over and it was not in the dining area or the bathroom. I then tried to make the phone ring but the music in the dining room was so loud that I couldn't hear anything. I then asked nose ring girl if she found it and quickly looked in both cubbies under the front desk for a second or two, then turned to me and said no. I left the dinning room and went to the neighboring businesses and asked them...wasn't there either. I then updated the tracking on the phone for the second time...it was still in the restaurant. So I went back in and looked again...nothing. Thinking that the purse may have been tossed in the trash I then went behind the store in the ally and looked through the boxes and dumpster, nothing. At my whit's end I went back into the store for the third time and this time I asked the other girl about my daughters green purse. This girl tried a little harder than nose ring girl. She looked under the desk in both compartments and rummaged around for a while searching. When she got up she apologized and told me it wasn't there. I then turned my phone around and showed her that the tracker was saying it was in the restaurant. Here is how the following conversation went:

Me: "I know it is in here. Could it be in the back?!" Her: "The back of what?" Me: "The restaurant...is it in the kitchen?" Her: "No, we would never take anything into the kitchen." Me: "It is here somewhere. Can anyone help me find this?"

At this time I could see nose ring girl was getting agitated listening to me talk to her coworker. She steps away from the register and looks in the middle cubby and immediately pulls out the green purse and askes, "Is this it?" to which I replied, "yes...thank you so much for helping me find it." And I left the store never to return again.

Now I am not saying that these two were trying to steal a 10 year old purse for grand total of $31 and a $50 cell phone that no one else would be able to use but I can tell you that both of these girls looked in that cubby, some more than once, and there are only two of them in the front of that building. So how did it end up in that cubby in the first place? One of them would have had to have put it in there. Anyway we spent $50 at this place and it seems they wanted a little bit more that what we paid for. We won't be going back no matter how great the food was.
