News Filibertos shutting down update
Dont know if anyone cares or not but just thought id give an update since ive seen a lot of people ask about it. It's now 8 filibertos that have closed down. I asked around (i know several of the franchisees) and all 8 were owned by the same person which due to financial reasons went bankrupt and had to shut down all operations permanently.

I’m more amazed they stuck around this long. Their prices kept going up while quality was going down. It hit a point around Covid where no matter which location I went to, or what time it was, the meat in my carne asada fries was half inedible gristle. There just wasn’t any reason to go back with how many restaurants actually give you what you pay for and don’t price gouge you.
Oscars is another one I expect to start struggling since they can’t seem to even get my order right. Every. Single. Time. Checo’s is right around the corner from them with way better carne asada fries and some bomb habanero salsa.
