A group of belligerent men went on the attack at a popular food truck in downtown Las Vegas after they were refused service. Five employees ended up in the hospital and the owner of the business is demanding justice.

The Taqueria Casa del Sabor food truck is parked outside a tire business at Bonanza and Las Vegas Boulevard every night, sometimes there are lines of cars circling the parking lot waiting to get served. Sunday night, employees refused service to a group of belligerent men. What happened next was all caught on camera. FOX5 is not sharing the video because of the level of violence.

In the same parking lot where the attack happened, people gathered Monday night to show their support for those who were injured.

“There were two cars, two vehicles that pull up to the drive-thru. We tried to take orders and they started getting too aggressive to our people and we refuse to serve them,” explained Taqueria Casa del Sabor Owner Ivan Valenzuela. That’s when all hell broke loose.

“You had women getting hit... My guy here getting put in an ambulance. My guy right here see his face?” Valenzuela explained to FOX5 with employees at his side. Two employees were taken by ambulance to the hospital, three were taken by private car.

“The cops they arrive, they hold two guys for like maybe 20 minutes, they let go most of the people. The only guy I believe was arrested because he was being aggressive with the cops,” Valenzuela revealed.

Street food vendors rallied just last week as the Nevada State Senate heard a bill that would extend protections to them. State Senator Fabian Donate, the sponsor of Senate Bill 92, comes from a family of food vendors and says it is an important part of the heritage is Hispanic community.
