Questions about TAQUERIA EL CHARRO DE JALISCO # 3:

Have anyone looked at their bill? Today I went to have breakfast with the family and my taxes for a $34 bill were almost $8. By my calculations almost a 23%. My understanding is that taxes in Texas is 8.25%, but if you order at the drive thru they give you a different price that if you order inside...WTF?
