Houston taqueria violating Texas labor and wage laws

Local taquerias are known as one way of grabbing a quick bite to eat, but unfortunately many restaurants and taquerias are notorious for wage violations in Houston and nationwide.

Case in Point

Many Houstonians may recognize Taqueria Taconmadre as a local taqueria chain, but they have been targeted by the Labor Department for allegedly violating the Fair Labor Standards Act. Taqueria Taconmadre's three Houston locations have all been included in the wage and hour investigation, which alleges that employees regularly received less than minimum wage and were required to work overtime without the FLSA overtime rate.

Servers, waiters, and tipped employees are frequently robbed of their wages because of employers who intentionally misclassify them or who arrange illegal tip pools.
