According to the lawsuit obtained by the publication, an attorney for Rivera said she purchased a burrito at the location and later approached the manager because she thought it tasted funny.
According to the lawsuit, Rivera tried to walk away but a worker came around the counter and attacked her. The employee was joined by two other employees, who also assaulted Rivera, reports said.
