Having seen the headline in letters from our readers entitled “Item on Ken Taylor clarified,” I believe an article written a few weeks ago on the front page of the Tribune also should be clarified.

The article on the family-owned and operated Burrito King on Gateway Drive evidently was close to being fabricated.

I patronize the establishment regularly with my family, because it is very family-orientated, safe, clean and serves excellent food.

I have gotten to know the family who owns and operates the restaurant just by patronizing regularly and getting to know the family members by their friendliness.

They mentioned to me that the article stretched the truth, and were bewildered as to why it was written as such.

The incident the article wrote about happened in the separate bar area, after the restaurant was closed. Being in the wee hours of the night most establishments who serve alcohol at those times also confront similar problems.

One of the owners told me that there were no kind of gang members present or involved in the incident, stating that the reporter and police did not come until their own security had already handled the incident.

Why the article on the front page of the Tribune was written as such, the owners have no idea.

I, for one, would like to reiterate and assure other families that the Burrito King Restaurant is more than a safe haven to dine and enjoy excellent Mexican food.

WEBMASTER’S NOTE: The article on the police being dispatched to Burrito King Restaurant in response to reports of a fight was not a “fabrication.” Regardless, the Tribune did later publish an article that shared the restaurant’s perspective on the incident, the article, and the effects of its publication on their business.
