Paula Tejeda is hitting the streets once again.
"The Girl From Empanada," aka Paula Tejeda, has decided to close her restaurant, Chile Lindo, after her landlord was sued by a wheelchair-using man for not having a ramp leading into the takeout eatery. Tejeda says she wants to save her landlord from potential damages of at least $1,000 every time the plaintiff is denied entry to her empanada shop, which has a six-inch step. "This is not fair to my landlord, who's been very good to me," she says of David and Sandra Lucchesi. David Lucchesi didn't immediately return a phone message Tuesday night.Totally sad. And completely infuriating. Full story at The Snitch.
UPDATE: Chile Lindo reopens. Only now, nobody gets to go inside.
