Taco Shop Turns Break-In Footage Into Ad

A couple of crooks got more than they bargained for when they broke into Frijoles and Frecas Grilled Tacos in Las Vegas recently, winding up not just wanted by the law, but Internet sensations as well. Using the grainy surveillance camera video, the not-so-dynamic duo is transformed from bumbling burglars—their failure to break the front window with a brick is hilarious—to comedy team with the shop’s addition of mocking subtitles.

While the pair is still on the run, the millions of views this ad has racked up not only ensures they’ll eventually get nabbed, but also that Frijoles got their money’s worth from whatever was left in the purloined register. Watch it above.
