Milwaukee, WI - El Fuego Restaurant, which is a popular Mexican food restaurant apparently has been displaying the Mexican flag under the U.S. flag in one flag pole. According to the flag etiquette, all flags from nations should be displayed at the same level position.

Local businessman, Jose Aviles who goes by El Fuego Restaurant, 909 W. Layton Ave. everyday and recently saw the Mexican flag being displayed under the U.S. flag contacted Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA). Aviles says, if the owners of El Fuego don't know the flag etiquette and want to display the Mexican flag, they should display it at the same level as the U.S. flag or do not display the Mexican flag at all.

Hopefully, the owner or owners of El Fuego can correct the flag issue, especially, if they want to continue to attract Mexican clientele to their restaurant.

Especially, when the Mexican community is celebrating its 209th Independence Day celebration on September 16th in Mexico and in the U.S.

Update: El Fuego management released the following statement to Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) on Thursday, "...thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are rectifying this mistake immediately and sincerely apologize as it was not our intention to be disrespectful in any manner."
