Capital Tacos, North University Drive, Tamarac, FL, USA

5 months ago reported by user-pmvjq664

I recently had a chicken burrito and fries from capital tacos in tamarac. Within about 12 hours of consumption I was violently throwing up. I noticed employees not wearing gloves as well as eating and drinking while preparing food items. Stay away.  | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting
