The owners are a family Mexican The restaurant is at Houston Say a couple walked an unusual length of time Get free meals – literally pulling their hair out.
After the incident at Fajitas Mexican Grill on January 12, Leslie Ramirez shared a video on social media urging the two not to break up. Ramirez said the couple called a server at the restaurant toward the end of their meal and claimed there was a hair in their food.
The waiter then looked at the hair – a long, light lock – and determined it couldn’t possibly belong to anyone in the kitchen.
The owner said the couple quickly became angry when the waiter said he didn’t believe them.
“They were yelling at him and saying things that I didn’t think were nice — very cruel to our waiter,” Ramirez said. “They didn’t appreciate him and they didn’t believe them.”
Ramirez posted a video of the incident with the caption “Please don’t do this to small family businesses, we are trying to stay open.” As of Thursday afternoon, the video had been viewed more than 15 million times on TikTok.

He then appears to pick up the hair and place it on a fork before repeatedly dipping it into the remaining food on his plate. The woman continued to eat while the man kept waving to attract the waiter’s attention.
When the waiter arrived, the waiter showed him what was on the fork and then pushed the almost finished plate towards him.
Ramirez Tell houston chronicleEven though the staff had questions about the couple’s story and the origin of the hair, they let them take it off the bill – because they didn’t want them to pay for something they weren’t happy with – so they left without paying.
However, when they later checked the camera, they saw what had happened and suspected it had been a ploy to get a free meal.
“Afterwards, we talked to the waiter and apologized for what happened. It was no one’s fault but they didn’t want to pay for the meal,” Ramirez said.
Ramirez said she bought the restaurant, which opened in 1987, just two years ago, but the restaurant’s prospects were difficult to turn around due to a lack of investment and maintenance by the previous owner.
“We’re trying to get people back,” Ramirez told chronicle. “It hurts when people intentionally try to hurt us. We’re trying to feed our families and our workers.”
