Answer: B. False

Explanation: Even when Hola's Taco's permit has expired a customer does not have the right to refused payment for consuming its goods and services. It is only the authority, a constituted body that regulate and grant permit can sanction Hola's Taco.

So therefore, the customer is legally required to pay for his food, even though Hola's Taco have expired permit.
