"It's said in Mexican. We are not in Mexico ": the speech of the man at the Californian cafe taken in video

ANAHEIM, Calif. – A surveillance camera captured the speech of a client accused of racism while he was reprimanding an employee for a sign announcing a special offer of Spanish tacos at a Mexican restaurant in Southern California .

The incident took place recently in Palapas Tacos, Anaheim, California. The restaurant owner, Juan Del Rio, told KTLA on Wednesday that he thought the man was upset by a sign showing his daily specials.

One of the dishes of the day is a Friday fish taco priced at $ 1.99. The unidentified client attempted to order the item on another day and was surprised to see that he was accused more than that.

The confusion may have been caused by various signs announcing the daily specials inside and outside the restaurant. in business, the menu lists the specialties in English and Spanish, while an outside poster indicates only in Spanish.

This is apparently what made the man furious, according to Del Rio.

"It's a bull —-! This is said in Mexican. We are not in Mexico, we are in America, "says the client in the video. "It's America. Not Spanish."

The exterior sign has been in place since the restaurant opened a few years ago, and it was the first time Del Rio realized he was not bilingual.

The incident also marks the first time anyone is upset by the fact that it's only in Spanish, he added.

In addition to reprimanding the cashier, the client also threatened to call the immigration officers in Del Rio, said the owner.
