it offends me when people say “Mexican restaurants”

Instead of saying Spanish restaurant or Latino restaurant

Because why do Americans just assume that the only Latino residing people are Mexican?

That just irks me

It also irks me when people don’t understand culture and lump People together

People assume all Asians are Chinese

Or all Latinos are Mexican.

If it says Mexican Restaurant, it's a restaurant that sells Mexican food. Different countries do have different popular dishes, e.g., Puerto Rico has Mofongo and arroz con gandules. If you go to a Puerto Rican restaurant, you will find those dishes.

Spanish food would be food from Spain not Latin America.
