To our amazing El Taquero Comer family,
First and foremost, thank you for your continued support during this unbearable heat. We truly appreciate every one of you who has continued to dine with us. Your patience and loyalty mean more to us than you know.
We wanted to give everyone an update on why it’s been so hot inside the restaurant. Our largest A/C unit (an 8.5-ton system) has been out of service for about 10 weeks due to a warranty issue with the manufacturer. We’ve tried to be patient and show grace, but the warranty process has taken much longer than anyone expected.
To avoid waiting any longer, we paid nearly $5,000 out of pocket for a replacement compressor, expecting to be reimbursed through the warranty. Unfortunately, the first replacement was defective, and the second one shipped was the wrong part, forcing us to start the process over twice.
The good news is that another replacement finally shipped this week, and God willing, we’ll have everything back to normal very soon.
After our expansion, our building now has 26 tons of cooling capacity, but with our largest unit down during the hottest part of the summer, it’s been a challenge for our guests and our team. We also want to give a huge shoutout to our incredible staff. While the dining room has been warm, the kitchen has been much hotter, and they continue serving every guest with dedication, integrity, and a great attitude. We couldn’t be more grateful for them.
Thank you again for supporting our family, our team, and our small business through these unexpected challenges. We never take your support for granted and can’t wait to welcome you into a much cooler restaurant very soon.
God bless you all. ❤️
