Donald Trump is not popular among Hispanic voters, with about 77% of U.S. Hispanics finding Trump unfavorable.

In an effort to reach out to Hispanic voters, a critical and growing voting bloc in the U.S., Trump published a photo of himself eating a taco bowl on Cinco de Mayo.

"I love Hispanics!" tweeted Trump on the major holiday that originated in Mexico, the country whose migrants Trump last year characterized as "bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."

The photo depicts Trump apparently dining from the presumably authentic Mexican restaurant known as Trump Tower Grill. He smiles over a "taco bowl," otherwise known as a taco salad, a dish that originated in the United States.

While the bowls, served as a special titled "Taco fiesta," may not regularly appear on the menu, Politico unearthed a review by Eater New York reviewing a similar dish at the restaurant labeled "beef tacos."

On the same pass I also ordered "beef tacos" ($13.50) which turned out to be a fried tortilla bowl heaped with romaine lettuce, grated yellow cheese, and plain ground beef that was so devoid of flavor, it rendered an insult to Mexicans every bit as profound as Trump’s previous pronouncements. Trump food is bland food.

Trump has vowed to deport all undocumented immigrants in the United States and erect a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border, for which Mexico will pay.

Minutes after Trump's taco bowl tweet, Hillary Clinton weighted in with her thoughts.

"What Trump says he'll do as president: deport millions of immigrants," she tweeted, along with a video that included Spanish subtitles.
