A Houston restaurant is receiving major backlash after hosting Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

On Friday, El Tiempo Cantina posted a picture of Sessions enjoying a meal at the Montrose restaurant.

Sessions, who was in Houston addressing a meeting of federal prosecutors and law enforcement officials about the crackdown on violent crime and illegal immigration, visited the restaurant after his speech.

The post from his visit instantly had many customers commenting and complaining about the restaurant’s actions.

“I felt like it was a slap to the community that supports the restaurant and that backs up the restaurant and that works for the restaurant,” Houston resident, Gilma Aguirre said.

“I think it’s great,” El Tiempo Cantina customer, Carol Fallin said. “I think we should serve our people and honor them for helping us with the government. I don’t have any problems.”
