Description[]
The Mexican Palace was a Mexican-themed fast food restaurant located in the city of Tromaville in New Jersey. Two of its employees included a young man named Johnny, and an older man named Fred - both of whom worked as short fry cooks.
In 1984, three criminals named Frank, Leroy and Rico raided the Mexican Palace and terrorized its patrons. Frank was the leader and wielded a knife. Leroy shot one patron as well as a seeing eye dog while Rico held the cashier hostage. When Frank noticed the blind woman, Sara, who had owned the dog, he attempted to rape her.
The Toxic Avenger suddenly appeared and fought with the criminals. He ripped off Frank's arm, and later shoved him into an industrial sized oven. After a prolonged martial arts fight with Rico, he dragged him into the kitchen as well shoved his hands and face into a deep oil fryer. With Leroy, he filled his mouth with with ice cream sundae toppings. He then drilled the rotating bit of a blender into his face, killing him.
Afterward, the Toxic Avenger took care of Sara, offering to walk her home. The police arrived soon after, and tried to question the two cooks, Fred and Johnny, but they were both in a state of shock and largely unresponsive.
