The five-minute clip quickly went viral, amassing more than 1.7million views and more than 30,000 shares since.

A number of men and women got involved in the fight, and many of the restaurant's chairs ended up being thrown about.

The fight appeared to have cleared the establishment and the brawlers themselves soon left. No arrests were made, according to Eater.

Rojas says the confrontation began over a basket of chips costing $5 and a choice of red and green salsa.

'All because chips were $5 and they wanted the green salsa instead of the red,' he wrote on Facebook.
