The owners downfall was internet reaction to an interview where one said:
"I picked the brains of every tortilla lady there in the worst broken Spanish ever, and they showed me a little of what they did.. "They told us the basic ingredients, and we saw them moving and stretching the dough similar to how pizza makers do before rolling it out with rolling pins. They wouldn't tell us too much about technique, but we were peeking into the windows of every kitchen, totally fascinated by how easy they made it look. We learned quickly it isn't quite that easy."

Of course, this is ignorance disguised as progressivism. This has been going on for generations. What we think of as "pizza" may have its roots in Italian cuisine, but it's an American creation. That's innovation, not appropriation, and guess what? They serve it in Italy too now.
