Group in Nazi Uniforms Spotted Eating at Mexican Restaurant in Texas

The incident came amid rising incidents of anti-Semitism in the Lone Star State and elsewhere

A TikTok video has gone viral, showing a group of people eating at a Mexican restaurant in Texas, wearing Nazi uniforms and sweatshirts that read "Gott Mit Uns," a German phrase meaning "God With Us" that was commonly used by the Nazis

The video, taken at a Torchy's Tacos location in Ft. Worth, shows a group of about 10 eating at the establishment while wearing Nazi garb, including armbands with swastikas.

"I'm posting this because I want to spread awareness," Jess Gregorio, who shot the footage, said in a follow-up clip explaining what she saw. "I started crying after they walked out."

Gregorio, who is Jewish, told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that the group was already sitting down when she came in, she added that she was staring at the group and talking to her mom about them when one of the men walked by and said "white power," leading to a verbal altercation with her party.

“I just felt like, silence is compliance, and I can’t sit and watch these people in public comfortably,” she said. “Because I’m uncomfortable, so if I’m going to feel uncomfortable.”

Gregorio noted that the group left, but some came back to order more food and were denied service.

Per the Star-Telegram, Gregorio recorded her video the same day that a group dressed in Nazi clothing put anti-Semitic material on several cars at Fort Worth Botanic Garden. It's unclear if the incidents were related.

The Botanic Garden’s CEO and the Austin-based restaurant chain both denounced the shocking incidents on Tuesday.

Both of Sunday's incidents come at a time when anti-Semitic -- as well as anti-LGBTQ groups -- have become more vocal in Texas.

According to WFAA , a group of people stood outside the Cathedral of Hope in Dallas on Tuesday, chanting anti-Semitic and anti-gay slogans.

"They were basically saying 'Kill all Jews and gays," said Reverend Dr. Neil Thomas. "We have a message of hope and continue to be present and will not be intimidated by right-wing fascists."
