A Las Vegas taco shop is making the most out of a recent robbery.
Frijoles & Frescas Grilled Tacos in Las Vegas, Nevada was burglarized on Dec. 16, long after the store had closed for the night. The thieves walked up to the glass door and attempted to smash it with a rock. When that didn't work, the thieves headed to the other side of the building and successfully entered the store using the same method.

After the thieves made their way inside, they frantically searched for the goods. The footage must have been hard for any business owner to watch, but instead of turning to the public with a somber message in an attempt to catch the bandits, the taco shop instead decided to make fun of the criminals and produce an amazing commercial.
In the released CCTV footage, the shop turned the robbers desperate for cash into burglars in dire need of a delicious Frijoles & Frescas taco using clever subtitles. They even ended the clip with a message stating that their mother was on their way to pick them up.
Although the clip didn't lead to an immediate arrest of the robbers, it does serve as a great commercial for the store. By turning the robbers into taco-hungry thieves, the shop was able to create a commercial for itself displaying their product which has been viewed more than 700,000 times.
Oh, and the restaurant told Las Vegas News 3 that there was no cash in the registers that they lifted.
