We never went there because of all the bad reviews we got from friends and coworkers :/

Have a friend that worked there. Apparently they took federal taxes the entire time they worked there, but Uncle Sam did not receive them for November or December. Even better their W-2 was given to them by a coworker no envelope, not mailed and 2 weeks late. I also hear they owe a lot to other people.

That's too bad because I was really hoping they'd get things straightened out and have a terrific restaurant.

I did too!

It is a shame some of the union/min wage proponents do not understand how hard it is to open a business a be sucessful.
I think CoCo Cantina needed to pay some higher wages so they could of gone out of business earlier and not of had to suffer that long.

I wonder if the owners ever went to pre-school?

Baloney! You idiots constantly attacking unions... prolly most are too young to understand the concept with all the right-wing propaganda. You should be grateful for them or YOU would be a slave in poverty working unGodly hours and unrealistic wages!

If you have/had a bad experience with a certain Union, then it should be up to the membership to fix it or stop paying them. Simple! The unions are suppose to be there to ensure the workers have an equal playing field!

Too bad for this restaurant and business, but I certainly don't blame it on unions or expenses. That is silly. Any business requires capital... and a proper business plan. If you don't have both, it will fail. Personally I never visited the establishment because I don't have a desire for another Mexican food place. Just like steak houses and fast food... enough already. If most people think like I do, any eatery is going to fail around here when you have tons of competition! Put a Red Lobster there and I'll Garr-un-Tee it will be successful and paying workers decent wages!

You are obviously unaware of the minimum wage for tipped employees being $3.63/hour in MD. Try living on that!

*snicker*

Sounds so easy and simple when you put it that way. So..this "capital" you are referring to. It's infinite, I guess?...as long as you started with enough of it, it never runs out?
