Donald Trump tweeted a photo of himself grinning over a taco bowl in honor of Cinco de Mayo.
“The best taco bowls are made in Trump Tower Grill. I love Hispanics!” Trump captioned the photo.
The newly minted presumptive Republican presidential nominee is giving a thumbs-up as he grips a utensil.
Trump’s tweet racked up more than 11,000 retweets in 30 minutes and a wave of amazed replies, including:
Of course Donald Trump eats taco bowls, the only Mexican food that comes with a wall built around it.

It also triggered some fast fact-checking from the press:
That one didn’t hold, however.
Looks like the taco bowl is in fact offered at Trump Cafe not the Trump Grill. https://t.co/SWu1RsdAlD

Trump Cafe — a different Trump Tower eatery — was in fact serving a “Taco fiesta!” of “ground sautéed beef with jalapeños, onions, tomatoes, and chili spices, served in a taco shell topped with lettuce and cheddar cheese” for $13.50.
