Starting Monday, patrons of the Dallas-based Pizza Patrón chain, which caters heavily to Latinos, will be able to purchase American pizzas with Mexican pesos.
Restaurant experts and economists said they knew of no other food chain with locations so far from the Mexican border offering such a service.
"We're trying to reach out to our core customer," Antonio Swad, president of Pizza Patrón Inc., said Friday.
How can this make sense? They came to the US because they had no pesos in Mexico! Why would they have pesos here?
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of people in north Texas who aren't immigrants but second or third generation. They have a lot of family still in Mexico and visit a lot, so I guess they have pesos when they come back. It's still a freaky story, though.
