Rosa Linda's Mexican Cafe becomes a campaign hate stop after Mitt Romney turn-down

Are the same people that were excoriating Masterpiece bakery now those defending RL, and vice versa?  Just curious.  Seems a lot of people only want to defend rights when they agree with the context at the time.

In any event, people should really be angry at RL's treatment of the Squeaky Bean in their role as SB landlords.  That is what keeps me away from RL (and the fact that there are better Mexican places not too far from there).

Thankfully the community came out in droves to support this family run business today.  Thank you Denver for showing this small family business that not everyone is a hate filled psycho.  I and a few other good samaritans spent the last 4 hours volunteering to help with the increase in business.  The family was wonderful to me and very loving and thankful.  The owner was a great guy and we talked about our time spent in the military.  I definitely made some good friends at that establishment.  Not to mention, the food was great too and I look forward to eating there again soon.

It is really quite comical that he stopped at a Chipotle - they treat their workers so well (sarcasm for those who didn't catch that).

Unbelievable, people do this kind of thing! I will be over to get a great meal.

Hateful idiots like yourselves make me SO thankful I no longer live in Denver.

BTW, Their = possessive adjective. They're = they are.  There = locative adverb.  Sorry, realize Denver is cowpoke land but at least use correct basic English.

If you were a small business owner would you prepare 2 orders for over $100 dollars from a call in with no prepayment. Callers that you did not know and after you have discriminated against someone based on their religion and politics. Just a reminder that the left wing is filled with racists, biggots, and liars.

IF Romney can help create this kind of hate from people, what else is he capable of?

rosa linda is jus one of many ladies who have turned me down, and i dont hate...she jus plays hard to get-i like that...

Yes, they will serve any sitting President of the United States. Salt of the Earth - Viva Rosa Linda's!!!!

Their food is shit, anyway.

According to Rosalinda's own website, they DO associate with politicians http://www.rosalindasmexicancafe.com/events They had the consulate general from Mexico and Senator Udall there.

i need to stop by sometime

Good Job Rosa Lindas that was a good one made me laugh..... Gotta go try your food now

I see a new place to go to because they refused to be political. I hope they grow even stronger because of their own belief in being non-political.

Those damn Republicans trying to use politics to destroy someones business......Oh wait.  Don't you recall the democrats calling for boycotts of Whole Foods. Didn't they also boycott businesses who advertised on Glen Beck's and Limbaugh's shows. I also recall the democrats boycotting businesses in Wisconsin for supporting Gov. Walker. ANd the list goes on and on.  What a bunch of "holier than thou" frauds.

I'll personally be going here more often now. I salute you Rosa Linda's.

Guess some don't support small businesses after all. And Steven, the opposite has happened as well - like the pizza guy who gave him a bear hug and then business went through the roof.

The good news it will hopefully be a blessing in disguise? free publicity, I will def have to tru it now!

Enjoy some delicious Mexican food at Rosa Linda's today! 33rd and Tejon.

Funny that when one restaurant snubbed Barry, his business INCREASED. Kind of lets you know who America really supports, huh? :D

This Mexican, Morman, Independant family resuses to get involved in the politcal games and they are the bad guys? I think since they are getting death threats, and that some have allegedly come from outside of the state that the FBI and or the Dept. Of Homeland Security should be investigating these acts of terrorism. These people have lost a lot of revenue in prank sales, not to mention the threats. Even Romney and his sane supporters wouldn't stoop to these levels. It's disgusting and pathetic. I don't like Mexican food - and I'm not a believer in Mormanism - but I am considering stopping in regardless because these people are our neighbors and part of our community and they don't deserve this.

My new favorite restaurant.

So, because they refused to be manipulated by religious arm-twisting weren't they exercising their freedom? The crazies are revealing themselves and showing their white sheets. Looks like this NW Denverite will be eating there more often to support this incredibly generous and loving family. I'm down, are you?

Romney is a racist and no amount of green chile will smother that up. Mitt = D-oosh

I have always known the Aguirre family to be down-to-earth, kind and generous people. It's a shame such ignorance, negativity and hyper-sensitivity to perceived wrong doings continue to enable such moronic behavior in this day and age.

We all need to visit to show our support

Death threats!!Really! This is a really good family run restaurant that did'nt want to be part of this stupid political circus.Disagreeing with someone is not a just reason to threaten someones life!

I'm surprised Mittens didn't go to Chik-Fil-A

And independents.

Why not just make a deal and let the man eat w/o the fanfare? Im sure they wouldve been fine w that.

The people who do this type of threats are political terrorists. No different from any other ones. Makes you wonder about their candidate. By the by they are also Mormons!

Congratulations on having ETHICS. Not wanting to be a "campaign stop" is a persons/business right. Isn't that what America is about peoples rights. Romney going to Chipolte's clearly indicates to me that he was playing the "I am like you, I eat Mexican fast food". Denver has thousands of various ethic foods. His goal of visitinga Mexican restuarant tells me his goal of getting more Latino voters.

wtf! what happened to the right to make our own decisions... no need to get violent, grow up people we are supposed to respectful adults and honor other people's decisions even if we dont feel the same.

honestly why are people so quick to threaten and judge if someone doesn't think EXACTLY like THEIR PEA BRAIN THINKS.. DANG MAN! GROW THE FUCK UP!!!!

Its all so stupid.

My my. Thank you, Mr. Aguirre, for stating the facts. I knew you wouldn't refuse service to anyone based on their religion or politics.

It is unfortunate that Westword reported something that led readers to believe you were simply turning away the Romneys because you don't like Republicans and reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. I don't know if Westword is a GOP hate site but I tend to doubt it. When I had no information other than Westword's poorly-sourced and inaccurate article on the subject, I was a bit upset with you as well. But I understand the double bind being touched by partisan politics puts you in and applaud you for keeping your integrity and bearing up under the flood of misinformation.

I am as conservative a Republican as there is in this country--and I love your picadillo! You have absolutely NOTHING to worry about, businesswise. When the full story gets out there, only the most rabid idiot Republicans will ignore it and keep hating you. And a bunch of them will at some point be Jonesing for a chile relleno and will forget all about it. You guys have great food, great service and I couldn't care less about the rest of it. I recommend your restaurant to all, regardless of party. 

Oh, and as for rabid idiot Republicans--they're not as big a problem as rabid idiot democraps. You probably didn't see Zucotti Park last year at this time. You can always tell a rabid idiot democrap--if the wind is right. Rabid idiot Republicans can be a bit harder to spot before they open their mouths. My advice is to ignore them all and keep cranking out those shredded beef super nachos and watch the customers roll in.
