The latest round of backlash aimed at Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump is centered around tacos and San Antonio.

A sign being shared widely on social media supposedly posted by a Taco Cabana restaurant says the company is closing their doors on Trump supporters and telling them “you can’t have your taco and eat it too."

The image of the sign, which has been shared thousands of times on Facebook, comes just a few days after a similar notice was posted on one a Mama Margie's restaurant in San Antonio. Representatives from both companies quickly distanced themselves from the signs.

“Taco Cabana’s first priority is to ensure our guests feel welcome to enjoy great tacos. Taco Cabana is not responsible for the placement of this unauthorized sign on our property," Taco Cabana COO Todd Coerver said in a statement emailed to mySA.com. "Other local restaurants in the San Antonio area have also been targeted. The sign has only appeared in one of our restaurants and we promptly removed the sign and have alerted all restaurants to remove any unauthorized signage.“

“We stand with our fellow Mexican restaurants in their efforts against hateful speech,” the fake notice said, with a Taco Cabana logo. “We will also no longer be serving people who display support for the views of the presidential candidate Donald Trump. You can’t have your taco and eat it too.”

Facebook user Matthew Lerma credited the photo of the sign to a woman named Allison Pope. It’s unclear which location the signage was spotted at.

His post has been shared more than 4,000 times in less than 24 hours.

“This local business may lose customers over this,” a Facebook user who shared Lerma’s post said online. “They are brave and I love them for it. If I weren’t already a regular customer, I’d become one! Well done, my friends.”

Mama Margie’s, which has four area locations, was also pegged as not serving Trump supporters over the weekend when a similar sign was posted outside one of their restaurants.

“Mama’s is in the business of tacos, not politics,” Susan O’Brien, an owner of the chain, told mySA.com in a previous report. “We’re actually trying to figure out who did it […] we know it is not an employee.”

The person who posted the sign at Mama Margie’s was caught on video, O’Brien added, but did not say if the restaurant had contacted police.
