Restaurant responds to $22 fee to prep margarita after review goes viral TikTok: blondeswhoeat, Instagram: marysolcocinalatinaA restaurant responded to a TikToker\u2019s claims that they had charged her and her friends hundreds of dollars in \u201cprep fees\u201d for their margaritas. TikTok influencer \u2018Blondes Who Eat\u2019 often shares content of herself trying popular food and eateries in the Dallas, TX area. Most recently, she went viral for sharing the alleged \u201cprep fee\u201d that she claims the restaurant Mar Y Sol Cocina Latina charged her table after they ate an \u201cexceptional\u201d dinner there. During her TikTok video, she noted that she knew their food and drinks should have totaled around $150. However, after looking at the bill, she was shocked to find it was $530. That\u2019s when she broke down how much the prep fees were for each margarita their table ordered. The fee was added due to the bartender having to shake the drink. The fee differed depending on the quality of the tequila used. For the $14 margaritas, the restaurant supposedly charged them an extra $3 per drink. The $32 margaritas had a $13 prep fee and the $28 drink had a fee of $15 per order. As for the double margarita, that one had a $22 additional charge. After the TikToker\u2019s video went viral, Mar Y Sol Cocina Latina cheekily responded to her claims in an Instagram post. \u201cNo extra fees were charged in the shaking of this cocktail,\u201d they wrote with a wink-face emoji. Fellow customers and followers of Blondes Who Eat were quick to comment on the restaurant\u2019s response, with many backing the TikToker. \u201cNot according to your reviews,\u201d wrote one. \u201cTacky,\u201d added another. A viewer of the TikToker\u2019s post even suggested she dispute the charge, saying that it seemed \u201cillegal\u201d if the restaurant didn\u2019t advertise the extra prep fee on their menu. However, some felt that the restaurant\u2019s post was \u201cbrilliant marketing,\u201d as they felt they capitalized on a moment they couldn\u2019t run from. Earlier this year, another restaurant also cheekily responded to the reviews it was given. The owner was then heavily praised for defending her eatery with comical online posts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
