I don't know about Provo, but there is a code amongst the Taco Shop owners in SoCal. When a gringo says anything to them in Spanish, they respond in English. They never speak Spanish to anyone other than their fellow Mexicans.

Occasionally a gringo will say there is a particular employee who will speak to him in Spanish, but it is uncommon.

True, true. I think this is more of a San Diego thing than anywhere else and it gets worse in the South Bay.

Is this a jokey post? If it is not then how is anyone not suppose to think that you have some racial issues?

Here in San Antonio there is A LOT of mexican food joints.

Yes, mexican coke is made w/ cane sugar, no the corn syrup crap. It is a lot better.

My personal criteria for a Texmex joint:

1) there can be pimply faced white kid or adult oriental behind the counter
2) no one there can speak english better than I can
3) I must feel slightly discriminated against because I am white
4) The salsa must make my tounge numb and eyes sweat.

If the place meets all these criteria, bring it!
