Big Truck Tacos — Restaurant in Oklahoma City

Be warned of hidden service charges! I was in charge of organizing a luncheon at a local hospital that I work at and chose BTT for our catering services. We ordered the fajita bar for roughly 25 people, along with some sides. I was given a total when I placed the order. I thought it was a little high, but I was in a rush, so I figured I'd tally things up when I got off work. I was told I would be sent an invoice that day that never arrived. The invoice was erroneously sent to the wrong email by the business. I totaled the order based on the menu when I arrived home and it was roughly $100 less. I emailed BTT after trying to reach them by phone without success. (Side note -- I had to call a couple of times to even place the order. Left a message on the catering line that was never returned. Because I was nearing the deadline to order, I eventually called and chose the option to place a to go order so I could speak with someone personally. This got me a return call from the catering department.) When the email was resent to the correct email address, the invoice included a 20% service charge that is apparently added to all orders over $200. That's substantial for a food order for 25 people (it was $97.70)! I was never notified of this at the time I placed my order, nor is this charge mentioned anywhere on the catering menu or website. Our order wasn't even delivered. My husband picked it up. He called and spoke with the manager after receiving the invoice, and I believe, again in person when he picked up the food. We were basically told we were out of luck and would have to pay it since it's their standard practice (even in store). I wouldn't have been reluctant had they been transparent and notified me of the charge at the time of order (although I probably would have saved the $100 and went with a different restaurant). When my husband didn't get the results we wanted (a credit for the service charge that we never agreed to), he asked to speak with someone higher up. He was told our contact info would be passed along to the owner and we'd get a call from them. The weekend came and went and no phone call, so I emailed them again on Monday and told them we still wanted to speak with a manager. That was 3/27, and I have yet to receive the call on 4/8. While the food was good and portions were generous, we won't be using BTT again for any of our work functions. I have spread the word amongst our unit and other staff in the hospital to beware of this charge. There are plenty of other local eateries who don't charge such a high service charge for catering. We'll plan to use those...

Great food..... gave me less diarrhea than Ryan Walters.

The Issue

As a concerned Oklahoman and deeply invested member of our community, I, along with many others, am dismayed at the actions of our current State Superintendent, Ryan Walters. His leadership has been marked by divisiveness and inefficacy, subverting the very principles he vowed to uphold.

Our educational system should be a nurturing place for our students and a supportive environment for our teachers—not a platform for sowing division or promoting personal ideologies.

Growing up in New York, I was fortunate to have teachers who believed in me and worked tirelessly to provide me with the tools to succeed. But today, I see heros who are teachers struggling just to stay in the profession. Many have left due to burnout, lack of resources, and feeling unsupported by leadership.

It is heartbreaking to see critical issues such as teacher shortages and lack of funding being overshadowed by personal agendas. Oklahoma has one of the highest teacher shortage rates in the country, according to data from the Learning Policy Institute. If current trends continue, this crisis will only worsen, leaving more classrooms without qualified educators.

Furthermore, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities reports that Oklahoma’s K-12 funding per student fell by 28.2% after adjusting for inflation—the steepest drop in the entire country. This lack of funding directly impacts the quality of education, from outdated textbooks to crumbling infrastructure, all while the focus shifts to divisive mandates like placing Bibles in classrooms instead of addressing these urgent needs.

The duties of a superintendent are complex and multifaceted, but foremost among them is to put students and educators first. Ryan Walters has failed to do this. His actions prioritize personal ideologies over practical solutions, and our children and teachers are paying the price.

We cannot stand by and let our education system continue to suffer. I urge every Oklahoman who cares about the future of our state to demand the immediate resignation of Ryan Walters as State...
