A new state law banning so-called hidden 'junk fees' when quoting prices to consumers takes effect on July 1, but some restaurant operators are facing difficult decisions with a possible exemption that is keeping many in a precarious limbo.At Tacolicious in San Francisco 's Mission District, a cook sears a Niman Ranch grass-fed skirt steak to make a carne asada taco.
