Hey, what’s a little social media without racism? Today the adult Chuck E. Cheese’s—aka Dave & Buster’s—decided to play up Taco Tuesday with a tweet the folks at the restaurant chain are probably regretting.

" 'I hate tacos' said no Juan ever," the tweet read.

Really? No Juan? Not only was the tweet juvenile, but it was also rife with stereotypes.

And needless to say, people on Twitter shared their thoughts with the company:

After receiving backlash, the company removed the tweet, but the pseudo-apology that usually follows these sorts of slipups has not been tweeted yet.
