Yes, I was also surprised about the dirty sanchez. Weird.

They should actually call it Boo Boo's (and use an apostrophe to denote possession - note the logo has none). The food was decent, but the spelling and punctuation: horrible. Same mistakes and issues with grammar that was present on the menu at Carmine's (check out the wait staff shirts for examples of lax editing).

Overall, I enjoyed the crab burrito, I would go again and eat...and laugh at the menu.

I think they may be trying a bit too hard on the creativity front.

I think it's especially rude because if you look at Carmines, most, if not all of the kitchen staff are latino.

First Coast News is getting ready to run a story on their "racist menu." I'm kinda surprised it took this long.

I knew it was only a matter of time before their stupid menu got them in trouble. Even The Huffington Post got a hold of it. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/03/wetback-willie-burrito-racist-taqueria-florida-video_n_1738460.html

What's this world coming to when a mexican (Carlos Ramierez) and a Polak (Bobby Kapuschanski) are being criticized for having a 'racist' menu.

Are you fucking kidding me?  How many anglos were personally offended at reading the menu?  Hell, this world needs about 2Billion more people just like Los and Bobby (yes, I know them both, personally) and you have any issue with race relations - it would be a world full of people able to take a joke at face value and not read anything nefarious into it.

If the butthurt people can stop being so darn offensive, then we wouldn't have any problem. If those people still continue to be offended, then they should start with Cracker Barrel....

First the How to Jaguar video, then Super Bowl Maybe, now this???? Jacksonville is the master of creating bad press for itself.
