A woman who was caught on video repeatedly ramming her car into a California taco restaurant was allegedly a former employee who had not worked at the eatery for four years, according to the owner’s daughter.

The incident happened at Tacos Reyes in Canoga Park around 7:30 p.m. Friday, ABC 7 reported.

Bystanders who witnessed the chaos began filming as others rushed over to police officers nearby to alert them.

As police officers arrived on the scene, they witnessed the suspect repeatedly backing into the establishment and ramming into it, according to the outlet.

They then surrounded her vehicle and used non-lethal rounds before pulling her out of the car and arresting her.

The suspect had allegedly destroyed everything inside the restaurant before she was taken into custody, according to the outlet.

She was hospitalized with minor injuries and later charged with felony vandalism.

No other injuries were reported.

An employee of the bar next door to the taco joint recalled the moment she had to rush customers and co-workers out of the building since they “share a wall” with the restaurant.

“She just was reversing and slamming into all the different walls,” Bailey Thompson told ABC 7. “So we share a wall with them, so she started slamming into our wall.”

A day later, the restaurant’s owner’s daughter, Antonia Reyes, told ABC 7 that the woman was a former employee and said she was shocked by what happened.

“Even when she left four years ago, it wasn’t on bad terms. It was on really good terms,” Reyes told the outlet.

“Her mom still works with us. She’s been working with us … maybe 8 plus years.”

LOL! Okay. To some of us non-taco connoisseurs a taco shell, with hamburger meat, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes all taste the same unless you pour taco sauce on them and then they taste like taco sauce.

All tacos do not taste the same. But you are correct about making them at home. Cheaper and better.

My husband is particularly fond of peanut butter tacos made with flour tortillas and pan fried in butter as a late night snack.

Smear peanut butter on flour tortilla and fold in half. Sautee in butter till golden brown. Slide it onto a plate and don’t burn yourself being greedy. Let it cool a bit before eating. PB holds heat for a long time.

It’s fast, cheap, easy and fattening.

How is someone on an ex-taco worker’s wages driving such a nice late model SUV? To ruin the SUV as she rams it into the taco shop she was axed from?
