  • In this video I take a look at what happened to a restaurant called Fiesta Sunrise after it was featured on Kitchen Nightmares. The restaurant had numerous issues including a huge amount of debt, a roach infestation, and plenty of conflict between the owners. I'm going to find out if they were able to fix their issues and recover their restaurant, or if they ultimately closed down after the show was filmed.

    I can tell you what happened. It closed shortly after this episode aired. The owner claims that the whole episode was fake and it wasn't really as bad as Ramsay claimed... but the roaches speak for themselves. Then it became a burger restaurant, and is now a heavy equipment rental service. There is a similar restaurant with "Fiesta" in the next town over with the same style logo. We don't eat there. If you're looking for great Mexican food in that area, Sangria's on 303 is ah-mazing.

    I believe all the restaurants owned by the same family, as that is VERY common for Mexican food chains. In my state there are more than a dozen places all with similar names and the same menu owned by different members of the family. They will basically give a chain as a wedding/graduation gift to their relatives, including other, more experienced members helping them run it until they get the hang of things. But to get that, they had to have spent years working their way up in the restaurant itself, and almost everyone there is within the family, even if distantly. It is a great plan, actually, and while some of the branches have slight dips in quality or time waiting, they are pretty consistent. You can basically rely on these places, which are open 24 hours, to be a good food choice for the kind of junky Mexican food that everyone enjoys. They are massively popular drunk and stoner spots, and thanks to catering to construction workers with giant breakfast burritos, they have cornered some big markets. So this place could have worked, if the food wasn't bad and the restaurant wasn't dirty and the owner wasn't a self centered asshat who ruined his family and insulted his meal ticket.

      I worked for a place where our plastic wrap container had rat poop, our bags of doritos and Lay's would have mice get into them and/or be stale, we used borderline rotten tomatoes and onions, and the sauces we use can be over 2 years old along with other crap. We got a 97 this year, the health inspector had to walk past a table with onion that were rotting with nays flying around to get to the fridges where she walked past them without mentioning the black mold on the seals, where she got into a refrigerator that had 2 week old buns, she gave us the points off because someone didn't have a hair net, the floors were dirty and unmopped, and our vents weren't working to keep smoke out of the work area from the flat top. I was so mad and disgusted from learning all this... like look, I was raised poor... but this... this is just disgusting. Yet we had the health inspector pass us with just shy of flying colors. Never trust a health inspector seal unless they had a recall or outbreak, then you can trust it for a month if you are lucky. Best indicator is inflated prices and/or egos with low health standards in dining area. Or the golden rule, if there bathroom looks like you could give a hooker a dollar menu item to see you in there, don't eat at that place.

    I recommend Kitchen Nightmares episode called Cafe Tavolini which is from Season 4 Episode 7. The owners, Keith and Lisa, former married couple, are the real textbook of how clueless people who has no idea about the business decided to open the business. Both of them barely in there for a week and Keith likes to run away for everything every time there's a problem including watching the staffs from CCTV. Lisa is also a very emotional woman and she and Keith liked to fight a lot. Meanwhile, the staffs including Lisa's children are the real MVP to keep the restaurant together especially the Kitchen Manager named Michael. Just watch it and you'll know.

    I used to work with a guy who was 19 he lived with his wife in his own house but when he went to file his taxes he found out one of his relatives he hadn't seen in years had claimed him as a dependent and he couldn't file for himself because hers had already been paid out. He worked in a grocery store and didn't have money to connect with a lawyer to find out his rights about it and it was early 2000s and I don't think he had a computer to research it at the time. This story reminds me of that. I remember this dude crying because he was trying so hard to live a good life and he kept getting crapped on by ppl he should have been able to trust.

    It's honestly idiotic to have that tequila stand at the front door. First of all every drink that I know except for shots and beer needs ice. So that means there's ice inside of that cooler with the alcohol and drink mix.
    Now what is ice do? That's right it melts. So not only do you have something where it's easy for anybody including minors to access, not only are you breaking Rules by allowing customers to serve themselves alcohol (which if you didn't know in Most states is against the law and you need to have a professional licensed person do it), the huge problem though is that all of the alcohol in there is completely watered-down by the point where someone would drink it an hour later. So you're not even giving a good representation of the Margaritas you create.
    Plus what does that tell your customers? Yeah there maybe some stupid customers that see alcohol and go "That's awesome there's free alcohol here!", but then there's people like me who are wondering why you're trying to get me drunk before I get in the restaurant. Either the food is horrible or the service is horrible because you need to get me liquored-up so I'm going to go with everything in the restaurant.

    Vic opened another restaurant about a mile up the road from Fiesta Sunrise. It was called Cinco de Mayo in Valley Cottage and it too failed shortly after. I also think he did some jail time in the County jail. I think over $35K he borrowed from another restaurant owner.

      You can’t do jail time over debt. You can go to jail for fraud.

    Decades ago I worked for a chain restaurant, one of the waitstaff found out that They would take rolls from customers plates that weren’t eaten, do something with them to make them “fresh” then recycle them to the next customer. Some of us started putting cigarettes out on the rolls, this was the ‘60s, don’t judge, or we’d find other ways to keep the rolls from being reused. 😊

    West Nyack is a super expensive place. We only ever go there when we're gonna spend a shit ton of money that day. I wonder why he set up there in the first place.

    Ya, I don't care what "deep cleaning" took place there, the fact that it even got that bad in the first place is enough reson to not allow that incompetent Vic to heat me up Hot Pocket, but I do thank him for his service.

    I still think it’s nuts that people thought that she transitioned to get away from that. Bro it took me and other people getting an assessment to see that you have GD, finding somewhere to get hrt, getting recommended to surgeons, getting rejected based on insurance, getting rejected cause you’re severely depressed because of the dysphoria, and a shit ton of money to even get anything done as an actual trans person let alone someone just wanting to do it to get away from something. Crazy how people think you can just walk into the doctor and get that done, let alone get a legal name change or the gender on your ID changed so you aren’t accused of having a fake ID and/or put in danger because of it. Money is the biggest issue and I doubt she would have that kind of money to just throw away like that.

      I can't help but imagine a guy sitting nonchalantly at a doctor's office, making a sign with his hand and asking "two boobs please", with the doctor answering "coming right up sir!"
      That's probably how these people imagine sex change therapy
