Wait, is he angry that they translated the menu into English, or is he genuinely angry about the use of Spanish in a Mexican restaurant? What would a Mexican menu look like if you were not allowed to use Spanish words?
No, it isn’t. The man was furious that a sign advertising their $1.99 taco special had superscript (written only in Spanish) stipulating the offer is only valid on Friday. A somewhat manipulative ad, sure, but certainly not something that justifies flying into a racist tirade.
I would say that’s an incredibly manipulative ad, honestly, kind of scummy to write information like that in a single language on a bilingual menu. However going on a racist tirade is also not a good response, frankly.

If the restaurant used Google Translate and gave me a small meat carving of a donkey when I ordered a burrito, I would be mad too.
I’d like the “old clothes” please. LOL.
Is that what the article says happened? There’s no link.

Sounds like he should learn spanish.
He was angry he couldn’t get a friday-only special on a different day of the week.

If you’re gonna live in Southern California, it might behoove you to learn a little Spanish.
Also, yelling at underpaid restaurant staff is never appropriate, nor is threatening to call immigration on Mexican Americans.
