Despite recent health concerns, business remains strong at the Taco Bell Cantina in Washington’s Chinatown. Reports of cyclosporiasis outbreaks tied to lettuce have not significantly deterred the restaurant’s loyal patrons.
Tia Gonzalez, a customer at the cantina, expressed mixed feelings as she considered her order, which included lettuce. Her hesitancy stemmed from reports linking greens served at the chain’s locations to the current cyclosporiasis outbreak affecting thousands in the United States.
The decision to continue serving lettuce, even as it is associated with the outbreak, has raised questions among customers. However, the dedication of Taco Bell’s fan base is evident in the brisk business and steady customer flow observed at the cantina during the week.
