After setting off an internet firestorm last week when they apologized for serving lunch at an Immigrations and Customs Enforcement detention center in Batavia, the owners of Lloyd Taco are apologizing for last week's apology and are hopeful they will not apologize in the future.

"We take responsbility for what transpired last week but we want to emphasize that we don't take sides," Lloyd Taco co-owner Pete Cimino said Monday. "That's what people did in social and traditional media in the last few days. We respect their right to express their opinions. That's something that makes this great country great."

People don’t know how to say they’re sorry anymore.


Most are sorry that the light is shined on them..............

The best Mexican food in Nashville area is food truck owned by bean folk

And Oscars Taco Shop

Again owned by Mexicans...third gen in that case

If you want wet Tex Mex or black beans New Mexico style you have to go to sit down joint but some of the, are very good too

There's always something that others do or don't do or say or don't say, that offends someone. People who get into the public spotlight in this day and age, can't win for losing. No matter what, someone isn't going to like what they say or do.

This is why people should stop apologizing. The left is never satisfied with anything, so best to stick to one's guns, ignore them and keep on with what one is doing. If 80% of your customers think you're great, don't worry about that small minority. They won't forgive you anyway, and you just end up pissing off the 80% who like you the way you are.

You're probably right.

That's why I would never want to be in the public spotlight. It's a losing proposition no matter what.

What is interesting to note is that an entire stadium of people refused to buy from their food truck.

That’s tens of thousands of people.

The real reason they came out with this latest apology and press conference is because both their truck outside, and stand inside the stadium at the Sunday Bill's game were dead the whole day, just a trickle of biz. People were posting pics of their empty truck and counter all day on social media.

That's why the non-apology sounded like it did.

It wasn't an apology. It was a plea to get people to buy their food by telling them 'we pay taxes, we employ people, we pay them for their work, we're non-political, we're good people. People depend on us for their jobs. Don't let us go out of business. Please buy our food'.

They saw their business drop dramatically and they're panicking.

AND what is ignored is that out of the 50,000 + people at the Bill’s stadium none went to their truck.

(well, only a few)

That shows tremendous support -if not for Trump, then against ‘woke’ companies
