Arrived at Tecate well before they were to close so there was ample time for them to be able to give us great service as well as just plain old courtesy. When we arrived,I felt as if the waitstaff felt as if we(myself and my sister)were a burden to them. We ordered mixed drinks and proceeded to look at the menu. The drinks were brought, then that was it. The staff maintained complete oblivion to the fact that we were still waiting to be have our order taken for well over 45 mins and be served. We waited and waited. Still no service. I looked behind my sister and there found that the reason we weren't being waited on was due to the fact that the ENTIRE staff chose to sit down right in front of us and disregard our pleas for service-AND EAT THEIR OWN MEAL AND DRINK THEIR OWN MIXED DRINKS! As soon as I became aware that this was going on, I made eye contact with our waitress and tried to summon her over and she (as well as several of the staff) proceeded to talk about us negatively in Spanish! Fortunately, my blonde hair is DYED and I am very fluent in Spanish as I am very Mexican. Comments stated: ""Look at those stupid white bitches over there!"" ""HAHAHA! LOOK AT THEM WAITING TO BE SERVED-STUPID BITCHES!"" One staff member actually stated to our waitess that she needed to go over to us and she stated ""No-let them wait...stupid bitches...I'm gonna eat my dinner!"" There continued to be loud laughter at our ""so-called whiteness"". The staff showed absolutely no shame in their behavior. I was completely appalled! We put our money down on the table for the drinks that we ordered and it wasn't until we were walking out that ,with laughter of a whole group at our expense, that a LAUGHING waitress offered ""Oh, do you need something?"" We got up and stated ""No."" The staff never rose from their seats,offered an apology/explanation or anything. I would/will NEVER go here again and will let everyone know if you appear to be caucasian- you will not get any service and be talked about right in front of you if you aren't fortunate enough to speak or understand spanish! I have never been treated so horribly in a dining experience in all my life!
