That was the moment she had a “verbal altercation” with the group in Nazi garb, Gregorio said. The ‘white power’ comments were made after she told them she was a proud Jew.
The group left the store after the verbal fight. said the woman. But they returned to order more food and this time they were refused.
“I’m posting this because I want to spread awareness,” she said in the video. ‘I started crying after they walked out. “It’s very hard to grow up Jewish,” she said.
Gregorio said a staff at Torchy’s, who also felt uncomfortable, told her a regional manager had instructed staff to serve the group and get them out of the restaurant as quickly as possible.
“I just felt that silence is compliance, and I can’t comfortably sit and watch these people in public,” Gregorio said with the Star Telegram after the incident.

Gregoria said she was disappointed with how Torchy’s Tacos handled the situation, plus the fact that no one told the group at the restaurant.
“I see all these comments on TikTok with people saying, ‘Oh, if I was there, I would have stood up,'” she said.
“But, you know, there were other people in the restaurant and nobody got up. Nobody said anything.’
That same day, a group of people dressed in similar Nazi uniforms with swastikas on their shoulders, holding red and black Nazi flags, protested in front of a church in Dallas.
The group was armed with knives and mace and chanted ‘down with Israel, down with the Jews’.
‘All gays should be gassed. Destroy the gays. Destroy the Jews,’ chanted the protesters at the Oak Lawn church, known for its primary LGBTQ+ membership.
