An Indiana restaurant chain that came under fire for putting up a billboard referencing a proposed border wall between the U.S. and Mexico said it would take it down. Referring to a campaign promise by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, Hacienda Mexican Restaurant's signs proclaimed it had "The Best Mexican Food This Side Of The Wall." Hacienda executive vice president Jeff Leslie says he didn't expect the backlash from the Hispanic community. He says the billboards are offensive because "wall" has taken on a political connotation. “It's about our core guests who really know and believe that our food is really terrific, and that's what we're communicating,” he said.
