The tweet included a picture of Trump eating a taco bowl from his very own Trump Tower Grill while giving the thumbs up sign.

Trump has drawn the ire of many in the Hispanic community for blaming crime in the United States on illegal immigrants from Mexico, saying he would build a wall between the two countries if elected.
