In the business world - you cater to your customers. If 60% of your customers are Hispanic, why not advertise to them? I don't think they're trying to say Hispanic = peso. I think they're trying to say that they recognize that the Hispanic population is their main clientele and they're making a direct effort to market to them, and show them that they are welcome and appreciated at that restaurant.

Plus, a business owner can accept what they want for payment. If a restaurant wants to start accepting Monopoly money as payment, it's their prerogative to do so. I think what they're doing is completely American - exercising their right to free enterprise.

It makes sense for cities along the border of Canada & Mexico, like the story said, but Dallas is over 400 miles inland.

And no, wasn't exaggerating.
