Viral video of ‘Lady Gringa’ accosting taco workers outrages Mexico City
A video that depicts an apparently American woman accosting workers at a famed Mexico City taqueria outraged locals, reviving tensions over gentrification, overtourism and how much respect foreigners accord residents.
They’re calling her “Lady Gringa.”
MAGA mama demands employees serve her in English—at restaurant in Mexico City.
She throws plate of tacos at customer.
Punches waitress in stomach."What’s your big check?” she asks.
"What, like $500 a year?"She yells police won’t do anything to her because she’s American.
Anger first started when the foreigner asked a vendor for a cigarette—and she became angry when he said that he only had coins.
Before video began recording she yelled insults like "wall jumpers"—at workers living in Mexico.
Local police had to escort the man filming home due to her continued threats
But so far there is no evidence that police actually filed any charges were filed against her.
Incident occurred at Taqueria Orinoco restaurant in the Countess Colony of Mexico City.
