A late-night food order mix-up at a Texas Whataburger spiraled into a chaotic seven-person brawl early Sunday morning, according to police and local reports.
San Antonio Police responded to the Whataburger location shortly after 3 a.m., where they discovered a violent fight had broken out between two groups of customers. Investigators say the clash began after one group was mistakenly served another table’s food order.
Footage from the scene, which quickly went viral on social media, shows multiple scuffles breaking out inside the restaurant. Several individuals can be seen throwing punches, kicking others to the ground, and wrestling across tables and booths. Photos taken afterward reveal blood smeared across the floor and seating area.
Authorities arrested seven people in connection with the fight, all charged with assault causing bodily injury. Those taken into custody include:
-
Andres Garcia Cardenas, 21
-
Tyrone Tolliver, 21
-
Miguel Torres, 57
-
Meili Torres, 21
-
Andrew Lopez, 21
-
Deontae Tolliver, 23
-
Veronica Valdez, 53
Police also confirmed that two 18-year-olds and two 20-year-olds were involved in one of the groups.
Rebecca Noel, the mother of one of the individuals present during the brawl, shared her account on Facebook, claiming restaurant staff mishandled the situation.
“Part of another table’s order was mistakenly brought to my son and his friends,” Noel wrote. “Instead of acknowledging their error, staff reportedly told the other customers, ‘They have your food.’ Moments later, those individuals confronted my son and his friends, and within seconds, the situation escalated far beyond a simple misunderstanding — to a violent assault.”
Noel added, “There is absolutely no excuse for what happened. This never should have escalated to this point.”
Police say the video circulating online is part of their ongoing investigation. Despite the intensity of the fight, no major injuries were reported.
As of press time, Whataburger, the San Antonio Police Department, and Noel had not responded to requests for comment.
