The 'Viva Mexico' chopped salad is at the center of a legal dispute in Nevada to determine if the Chop Stop chain item constitutes Mexican food.
There was nothing Mexican about the “Viva Mexico” salad I ate recently at a fast-casual restaurant called Chop Stop in Brea.
Mexican food is a multibillion-dollar industry in the United States that any smart restaurateur will lean on in the quest for a couple of more bucks. That’s the only explanation I can surmise as to why, a chain with 27 locations in California, Nevada and Texas, deigns to call its Viva Mexico salad by that name. Or deem another one “Santa Fe,” even though the extent of that salad’s evocation of New Mexico’s capital is roasted corn kernels.
Besides, Chop Stop maintained, those two “potentially questionable salads … are less than 10% of its sales.” In other words, Dynamic wants Nevada Eighth Judicial District Court Judge Mark R. Denton to explore the possibility that“If Chop Stop is right, we are going to get a bunch of rent” from Cafe Rio, he said. The chain has only paid half of it since last September, citing the dispute. “If Cafe Rio is right, [Chop Stop] is going to be in charge of covering our costs and will be in violation of their lease.
Adelman wouldn’t tell me whether he thinks that, only allowing, “It doesn’t appear to me that merely uttering the name ‘Chopurrito’ [referring to Chop Stop’s burrito bowls] that somehow that automatically results in some type of conclusion. A provolone garbanzo bowl, I can’t imagine anyone on Earth call that Tex-Mex food.”Legal disputes about what is and isn’t Mexican food aren’t new.
