Taco Del Mar

My roommate gave me a "$5 off any purchase" Taco Del Mar (punch) card, so I decided I would head there for lunch today.

As I'm waiting in line I notice that they have a deal on Tuesdays: 2 Tacos, a drink, rice, and beans, all for $5. I figure it makes sense, so I order.

I head to the cash register and the manager rings me up for $5 and change. I hand him the card, and he immediately cancels the old transaction and rings me up for around $7.50. I look at him like "WTF?" and he explains that the Tuesday deal is void if using a free meal card. I was in a hurry and didn't put up a fight, but he kept explaining over and over why it wouldn't work - I just said forget it, give me the tacos, I'm done.

On my way back to work I was really irked, probably because I was starving, so I call their corporate office to see if what he said was true. The girl I spoke with immediately told me that what he did wasn't right, and is mailing me a gift card.

Once I got back to the office I noticed some additional fine print - the manager wasn't screwing me over - oops! 😱

 
Yeah usually coupons aren't valid with any other offer, anywhere. I guess their Tuesday special was considered an "offer."
 
Much more importantly...what did you have? Were they any good?

I loves me some good fish tacos...We used to make the trip down to San Diego just for an excuse to eat at Rubio's...😀

Ralph finally "sold out" to Corporate America and they're not as good as they were 15-20 years ago. Still better than any of their local competiton though...although the closest one is about 35 miles away.

Holy hell, I need to go home I think 🙂
 
Most business don't let you combine special offers. It's either one or the other.. either the $5 meal or the $5 off coupon.

So mail them the gift card back.

No, no, OP, send it to me, as I can use it with a clear conscience. I'm sure Taco Del Mar would want it that way.
