Sink your teeth into these tacos and you might just find, well, more teeth.
Stomach-churning photos from a customer’s trip to El Rincon Mexican Restaurant in Pflugerville, Texas, have gained traction on social media after she found an unexpected ingredient in her barbacoa tacos.
“When you order Barbacoa tacos but get teeth instead,” customer Courtney Aguilar wrote on Sunday.
The meal then only got weirder when Aguilar informed the waitress, who was apparently unfazed by the tacos’ unconventional topping.
“I asked the server if this was teeth?” she wrote. “She said ‘baby teeth.'”
In a Facebook post, El Rincon responded on Monday to Aguilar’s less-than-stellar review, noting they were “aware of the situation.”
“Barbacoa is one the few items that we buy pre-made from an approved FDA vendor and we are no longer going to buy from that vendor… El Rincon will stop selling barbacoa until we get a new vendor,” El Rincon wrote on Facebook.
Restaurant manger Roger Baza told mySA.com that the “teeth” are actually beef lips, which are approved by the USDA for human consumption.
“We admit cow lips are not the most attractive food item and can resemble teeth,” Laxson said in a statement. “Unfortunately, it made its way into this customer’s dish.”
Aguilar appeared on Wednesday afternoon to have deleted the viral, original post.
