The owners of a Mexican restaurant in Tucson, Arizona, who were criticized for attending a Trump rally, got a five-star review from the sitting president himself.

After Betty Rivas was spotted in the audience at President Trump's Feb. 19 rally in Phoenix, negative reviews began hitting the Facebook page for Sammy's Mexican Grill.

That hurt business for several days, co-owner Jorge Rivas told "FOX & Friends" Sunday, but he said Saturday was a "very good day" for sales.

"The food is GREAT at Sammy's Mexican Grill in Phoenix, Arizona," Trump tweeted. "Congratulations to Betty & Jorge Rivas on doing such a wonderful job. I will try hard to stop by the next time I am in Phoenix. Support Sammy's!"

Just to know that libs are boycotting any place makes it high on my list of places to go.

Racist whack jobs...

Well a five star review by the POTUS will probably give them a huge boost in the long run.

Every Trump voter or 20 miles around will eat there at least every so often.

I would.

Congratulations to Sammy’s Mexican Grill on their new, improved customers.

Trump’s revenge: giving leftist attacked restaurants and businesses 4-5 Star rating. The Left can’t do a thing about it and look like nasty German fascists attacking Jewish restaurants and businesses in the 1930’s.

Do they have a Taco Bowl to compete with this one: https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-grill-taco-bowl-review-one-year-later-2017-5

Trumps Taco Bowl made with Trump steaks sauteed in Trump champagne. What could be better?

In 1976-1978 you could go to The Crossroads restaurant, park under cover and gals would skate out to put a rack on your car window including pitchers of tap beer or bottles of whatever if you weren't on a student budget, plus the food was great.

Only place I ever saw pitchers of beer at a drive-in.

If you're ever in Tucson ... although I think they dropped the "drive-in" aspect. ;-)

It’s located near Tucson. Two hours from Phoenix. ugh.

when I moved to florida in early 80, I was stunned that the ABC liquor stores had drive thru's that would sell you alcohol, mixers, ice, cups......everything you need to drink and drive

Coming from Alabama at the time, where you had to go to a state store and basically point to what you wanted, it was a shocker.

Back in the day, you could pull up to the drive in window and they would hand you an open beer. All day long.

I hit Phoenix every winter for a week. I’ll be stopping in this joint next year to celebrate Trump’s reelection. Ha ha .

Sammy, working to live the American dream.

More power to them. Glad they’re here.

Trump has known Betty Rivas since at least early in his last campaign. Here is a photo of the two of them I downloaded in March 2016:
