Dearborn Heights Mexican Restaurant Returns to Carryout Over ‘Rude’ Dine-In Customers Refuse to Wear Masks | Eater Detroit

"Operating as the Dearborn Heights branch of a 58-year-old, family-run Mexican restaurant group, this location returned to carryout-only service after multiple recent incidents in which customers refused to wear masks and treated staff rudely. Manager Sam Alvarado, the founders' grandson, said confrontations escalated over the past few weeks — including an episode in which a customer charged the door and refused to leave, prompting police to be called — and that protecting employees and patrons made the difficult decision necessary despite foregoing dine-in sales after only two weeks of reopening. The family expressed gratitude for community support, emphasized that mask and capacity requirements are mandated by state and county rules, and plans to reassess dine-in service after Independence Day, possibly adding staff at the door to enforce safety policies." - Brenna Houck
