Dude who sells TACOS professes his love for T.A.C.O. Trump and sells FEWER TACOS as a result. SAD! RIGGED! WOKE! SAD! [View all]

The controversy ignited after TikTok creator @harrie385, who exposes "Latino MAGA businesses," posted a viral video highlighting pro-Trump posts allegedly made by Robledo on Facebook, SFGate reported. The clip racked up over 76,000 views and sparked a frenzy of angry comments.

The timing couldn't be worse.

The beloved chain, credited with inventing the California burrito, has 80 locations across California, Nevada, and Texas. The company has now become a lightning rod for accusations of hypocrisy.

"Did this CEO forget that all of his restaurants are based on Mexican dishes, who wouldn't have made it here without the immigrants?" the TikTok video pointedly asked.

Now, a Facebook group called "A Strong Nevada" was rallying supporters to ditch Roberto's entirely. "Reynaldo Robledo, the CEO of Roberto's Taco Shop is a huge MAGA supporter and supports ICE!" the group stated, calling for a full boycott.
