El Tiempo Cantina shuts down social media accounts amid backlash over Jeff Sessions photo
Houston Chronicle ^ | 8-11-2018 | Robert Downen

Houston chain El Tiempo Cantina appears to have deleted its social media pages, a day after a photo of the restaurant's owner with Attorney General Jeff Sessions drew outrage and calls for a boycott.

El Tiempo did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but the chain's Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages were down Saturday afternoon.

On Friday, owner Roland Laurenzo posted a photo with a caption saying it was an "honor" to serve Sessions, who was in town to discuss immigration enforcement with law enforcement officers. The post was quickly condemned by customers, some of whom called for a boycott.

Laurenzo soon after responded, writing that the photo "does not represent us supporting (Sessions') positions."

“Roland Laurenzo”

Typical “fold your tent Beaner!” More interested in gringo dolares than patriotism, unless it’s to Mexico! And what’s with this Roland bit? Your real name is Rolando! Tu es un pinche cabron!

And a person with "dual-citizenship" is what?

Crowded, but not over-priced for food made from scratch.

Roland went to the Naval Academy and served for years in the US navy. He’s about 70 and was born here to legal immigrants.

The left (antifa, blm, etc.), must have no idea that Sessions is going easy on them.

A real full time A.G. would or should be kicking their collective ass.

The restaurant owner could’ve taken a photo with Sessions, or he could’ve given him the ol’ Sarah Sanders Red Hen heave-ho.

Either way the restaurant owner would be screwed.

It’s best to just hide in the walk-in freezer till they’re gone.

How many were actually outraged? A couple of nerds in their Mom’s basement can create a fake tidal wave of backlash. They know the target always caves.

I have never had a bad meal there.

And let’s be frank: This city has a glut of mexi-restaurants.
