The Spanish notation wasn’t a cultural flourish —it was a central feature of being a customer, there.
I side with the complaining customer 100%.
“We’re not in Mexico, we’re in America,”
i didn’t find anything racist in this statement. Stupid white guilt reporter must be slow in the head as usual..
What if on the border we put up a “Turret fires AUTOMATICALLY” in English only..?
Would that be fair..?
All he had to do was say “Nice try, amigo”, then leave the shop, and tacos, behind.
Signs should be in English, since it is in the US. I’d penalize the restaurant for not having signs in English.
Pay up, Gringo.
Thank God for the internet, or we’d
never hear such important news.
OK, I’ve never had fish tacos. What do they put in it, imitation crab meat? Tuna? Is it ground up, or a slab like the McFish?
Rightwing,
Although you can’t tell from the article, this story is about a week old or older. Not your fault for posting it as it is still “making the rounds” on the media outlets as current events.
Makes you wonder why their agenda is to push this relatively minor story for so long. Well, actually, Freepers don’t wonder. It fits the communist narative that they push for the Democrats. It doesn’t cast a positive light on the guy that doesn’t speak Spanish. He must be a Trump guy who hates hardworking “migrants.”
The restaurant owner came to the U. S. when he was 14 and is “in the process” of getting U. S. citizenship. He appears to be in his 30s or 40s.
So, my guess is that his parents bought him in illegally and he might think he’s a Dreamer. But I might be wrong. The reporter failed to get enough information from him to know what his status is.
I’ll disagree with the consensus thus far and side with the owner when it comes to the right to choose the language used on his own restaurant’s menus, but the real issue is that it’s simply a disagreement between one customer and an owner that was caught on tape yet Cox Media Group considers it national news. These local, little stories are made to be much bigger than then they are and used to push an agenda and that’s what actually bothers me.
An embarrassing idiot strikes again. Just say “thanks, I didn’t understand.”
They would probably have given him the special if he hadn’t pitched a fit and put everybody’s backs up. I’ve seen this happen in Chinese restaurants, where they have posted their specials policy in English but it’s not very clear.
Multiple signs list daily specials, which are advertised with the day of the week in Spanish.
Every day we get customers (who) sometimes don’t understand the specials
Fix yo signs!!!
“Especial de Viernes”......................probably thought it said Green Special..................
Like ZZ-Tops Tres Hombres album...GOOD!!
I ate there many times....great food.
Now this situation....I'd be pissed too..if I couldn't read Spanish.
Hasn’t the State Authorities shut him down yet for False Advertising and Fraud for not posting their ads in English
It’s false advertising.
