‘Vegetarian’ includes chicken at La Fiesta
La Fiesta Taqueria’s vegetarian tacos, burritos and tostadas are not actually vegetarian: The rice included in them is cooked in chicken stock. Until scientists prove chickens photosynthesize and have cell walls, it is factual to say chickens are not vegetables, and these are not vegetarian items. But La Fiesta has been around forever in restaurant terms—three decades—and prominently says on its website, “YOU Have a Voice,” and urges customer feedback. So let ’em know! Call the Folsom location at (916) 984-3030, tweet @LaFiestaTaqueri or send an email through http://lafiestataqueria.com, and tell them it’s inaccurate and misleading to call something vegetarian when it has meat products in it. Ask the business to make the rice without any animal products, label the veg options clearly and add a vegan burrito to the menu, please and thank you.
