AMARILLO,TEXAS -- At three Thursday afternoon, we spoke with Oscar and he told us that so far 452 people have paid it forward. Oscar also said, the restaurant closes Saturday at 2:30, and if they have any money left over they will donate it to a local charity.

In the Panhandle Spirit the notion of paying it forward has been evident in Amarillo for the past two days.
It's not unheard of for someone to pay an extra dollar or two to the stranger in line behind them but no one expects it to go on all day long.
For anyone visiting Mi Familia Burrito at 45th and Western on Thursday or Friday they received a little something not on the menu, thanks to a visitor that decided to pay it forward.
Oscar's son Tim Soto said, "People looked kind of startled when they pulled up and we told them that their total had already been taken care of and they say why and I let them know what happened, and they want to keep it going all day long we're at 80 cars right now in the line."
"Some people, even if their order cost more than what they owed they left us cash," said Soto.
As of nine Friday morning, 250 had their meal taken care of. The restaurant closes Saturday at 2:30 p.m. and if they have any money left over they will donate it a local charity.
