It's not often a restaurant sign calls out a presidential candidate.

But a sizzling remark by Donald Trump during a campaign speech Tuesday really hit a nerve at El Sazon Mexicano.

"When Mexico sends people, they're not sending their best. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists," Trump told a crowd as he announced his run for the presidency.

Owners of the family-run Alcoa restaurant, who moved here from Mexico years ago, just couldn't let that one go.

"Everybody has feelings, and you can really hurt somebody," manager Edgar Calderon says.

They took a stand, putting up this message on the restaurant's sign: "Mr. Trump our problem is we work hard, serve great food & the best margaritas."

"Most of us, we're not any of those things, we come here to work hard and make a living just like everybody else," Calderon says.

Calderon moved the U.S. when he was eight. Growing up, he says he heard it all.

"Not all of us are drug dealers, rapists, trash. We're just like every other human being," he says.

While the restaurant and sign face a busy Alcoa Highway, no one expected the message to create this much of a buzz.

Calderon says he was a little worried it might drive away some business.

"[But] everybody's got to stand up for what they believe in," he says.

Everyone Local 8 News talked to either supports what they're doing or doesn't care either way.

"Different people come here for different opportunities. And just because they aren't doing what their suppose to, doesn't mean they're all, they're not all the same," customer Rasha Aidy says.

"I don't think it was very smart on his behalf, I don't think he's going to get the Hispanic vote," Calderon says.
