A video of a conflict between a customer and employees at Tampico Mexican Restaurant in Parkersburg is going viral, and employees explain how they feel about the incident.

“English is our first language so you need to speak English,” says the woman in the video, which was recorded Saturday at Tampico Mexican Restaurant in Parkersburg

Sergio Budar, General Manager of Tampico, said,

“Me, the owner and another partner were talking about the business when suddenly a lady came on our side and yelled at us to be- actually that we were talking in Spanish. That’s when I stood up and just asked her if there was any problem."

The video went viral shortly after it was posted online Saturday evening.

Tampico employee Miranda Castillo said,

“So then I start listening and that’s when I hear her say that ‘This is America’ and I knew I had to pull out my phone and start recording. She was saying ‘speak English’. I have come across videos like this on twitter and on Facebook and all of that,” says Miranda Castillo, a Tampico employee

“We’ll I’m sorry about you too…get the f*** out of my country,”

“Unfortunately, that’s a behavior that we cannot tolerate because there were other people here and I just asked her to leave,” notes Budar.

“This situation hasn’t happened to me before…I believe it’s only a few because this place, this country, which is my county, I am a U.S. citizen, it’s great. So I believe that that’s the minority,” he says.

We were unsuccessful in our attempts to contact the woman in the video for comment, but WTAP is available to tell her side of the story if she wishes to do so.
