Where Santa Ana's Segregationists Can Eat Mexican Food in Peace

• i agree on the blandness of the food, but what got me was the poor service i recieved. It must have been that i wasn't from floral park enough.

• Lastima de Eduardo entre mas habla y da sus opiniones personales mas la gente se entera de que es un ignorante y cobarde. Yo como mexiano gay, es una lastima que no sepa como es dura la discriminacion.

• it's sad that people try to hurt a business at a time when the economy is so bad in attempt to get his/her name noticed. For all we know, Gustavo is good friends or related with the owners of the other restaurants located in the area that have been affected by this business opening. But if course we would never know that or would he admit it. I happen to know the restaurant is family owned and they from Mexico. The only group that this restaurant caters to that I have seen is families. I am a Mexican myself and I am saddened when soemone like Gustavo can be so narrow minded and attack with ihs words. I would ask him have you taken the time to talk to the owners of the restaurant. Or did you just feel like writing an article because of your prejudice to Floral Park. Don't judge a book by its cover take the time to see its contents.

• Pedo: Read what I told Gina.

• G: Are you suggesting that current residents of Floral Park are segregationist? If so, are they using restrictive covenants or just unwilling to sell their homes to black and brown folk?

• Many years ago, and one of the truisms of the restaurant business is that very few survive over the long haul no matter how good they might be, there was an above average Mexican place in Garbage Grove run by a German chef, and a Maryland Crab restaurant owned an operated by a very nice lady from Vietnam. If there's no Tapat�on the table, it ain't Mexican.

• Ive actually run across Italian restaurants here in OC run by Iranians....

• Gina, Santana is the capitol of mexicanidad in the U.S. Would you go to a Kosher Deli opened on Fairfax by non-Jewish Mexicans if you were Jewish? Or to a sushi bar opened in Little Tokyo by Guatemalans who spoke Mayan if you were isei? Might you consider these restaurants as effronteries to your culture? con safos P.S. Jewish people do exist in Mexico. Zack de la Rocha's father is of Sephardic Jewish ancestry, for example.

• Maria, �Por qu�o te callas? Ya se muri� caudillo Francisco Franco. Ahora Espa�s miembro de la Uni�uropea, y hay derechos humanos en tu patria. Yo he conocido gitanas en Espa�on mas, inteligencia, gracia y respeto que t�

• Marisa: You're a disgrace to Hispanics everywhere, just like your �lo. Just because I'm opposed to Verastegui's demonizing ways makes me gay? No wonder your country lost its empire. And, although I'm no looker, Verastegui's as handsome as a hairy ass. Gina: It's just not me who says Floral Park is segregationist. I urge you to click the link I provided, which will guide you to Floral Park residents themselves either admitting their neighborhood segregates, or trying to justify said segregation. Just because Mexicans live in Floral Park (and I have a couple such friends) doesn't make it an mini-Botha-era Johannesburg.

• I am really surprised that you would label Floral Park in Santa Ana as a Segregationist community. I have friends who live in the neighborhood who are of Mexican descent. You using that term has many believing that your are racist and very judgmental of those who live there. That is very sad that we can not be encouraging to all who strive to better their lives. In regards to El Pico de Gallo Grill, I do agree that it's overpriced, but they are catering to the Civic Center area. Their main sales are during the lunch hour when people are looking to escape their office at any price.

• Hey Spanish bimbo, learn how to type in English and keep your homophobia int he land of the conquistadors!

• you bastard!!! shut up, fucking gay, you are jelous about the Eduardo Verastegui�s beauty!!!! ashold!!!!

• Unfortunally I �m not able of give my opinion about this restaurant, but about Eduardo Verastegui I have my own opinion, he is a great person,involved in human causes, and of course he is not a homo-hating as you say, I have the oportunity of met gim here in Spain, and he is figthen for make this world nicer, just he is involve in a great cause, giving his opinion not like the mayority of stars of the start system, after read your opinion I guess thay you are gay, ist ok, love is an universal feeling, but your attack against Eduardo Verastegui is really unfair, my best wishes to you Regards Marisa ( Spain)
