Ya I know that, bro. But it was like a hostage situation where they said they would take a card then at the end of the meal some shady looking guys stood at our table and told us we would "have less problems" or something like that paying cash and that we were trying to "steal from the locals". The iberian white Mexican I was eating with got kinda shook and said we need to empty our pockets so we could leave. This was at a supposedly safe restaurant.

There is also Marxist revolutionary graffiti and slogans everywhere and lots of shit about decolonizing. San Cristobal de las casas if you wanna look it up.
