CORAL SPRINGS (CBSMiami) – The parents of a pair of women killed in a wrong-way crash in Coral Springs in 2013 are angry. They're reacting to the news that the restaurant that served the underage driver who killed their daughters is in trouble again for serving alcohol to another minor.

Coral Springs police say a bartender at Tijuana Taxi Company sold beer to a minor on Wednesday night. The minor was working with Coral Springs police on an undercover operation.

Tijuana Taxi Company is the restaurant where an underage Kayla Mendoza told police she drank margaritas in November 2013 just hours before she drove drunk and killed Kaitlyn Ferrante and Marisa Catronio. Their parents are furious at this latest development.

"Totally outraged," said Christine Ferrante. "You would think they would have learned their lesson from what happened to our girls. It shows that they have no compassion. That they're all about the almighty dollar."

Coral Springs police wrote in a police report that the 19-year-old girl ordered a beer on Wednesday and was asked by the bartender for her ID.

Investigators said the bartender looked at the ID – which clearly showed the teen was 19 – and served her a 16-ounce Bud Light anyway.

Sgt. Carla Kmiotek says officers did not single out Tijuana Taxi and visited 48 businesses during the operation.

Police said nine businesses, including Walmart, Chili's and a Chevron gas station – among others – sold alcohol to minors.

"We want to let the businesses know, 'Hey, you have people who are serving minors. Take care of the problem,'" she told CBS 4 News.

A managing partner at Tijuana Taxi told CBS4 News that they did not want to comment on the situation.

However, the company official did tell CBS4 News that the company does train its employees on not serving minors and just had a training session last weekend.

Ferrante and Gary Catronio believe Tijuana Taxi should lose its' liquor license.

"We don't want to live this again," Gary Catronio said. "We've been through this. We don't want anybody to go through this. The law has to be stern."

"What is it gonna take for them to realize that they need to have stricter standards?" Ferrante said.
