Costco Riberas

Or Lopez Produce?

rafter- Lots of places buy things at Costco and resell them. That doesn't make it "a Costco". Costcos are enormous stores and are all basically the same. As far as I'm aware, they don't run small outlets.

There's a great eatery right across from the airport in PV called Tacon de Marlin. They also have a branch in town. Fantastic giant burritos.

So when I saw a branch in the food court in the Walmart complex in Mezcales, I was happy and sat down and ordered. It was awful- not only was the area dirty, with uncleaned tables and used napkins all over the floor, the burrito itself was nothing like what I was used to from them. it was sloppy wet, like they had just taken the marlin straight out of the freezer and thrown it on the grill.
So I was planning on telling the main branch in PV the next time I went in that they needed to do some quality control on that outlet.

But the next time I went there, they had a sign on the wall saying that the "Tacon de Marlin" in the Walmart complex had nothing to do with them and had stolen their name. The fake one used exactly the same signage, same colors, font, everything. I haven't checked back to see if the real establishment made them shut down or change their name.
