Symbolic 'Bolillo' Protest Targets Green Rhino After Hart Apology

A viral clip shows a man tossing bread outside the Mexico City bakery, with a Feb. 2 tamale gathering now planned.

Overview

  • The protester filmed himself throwing several bolillos at the entrance, calling it a symbolic response to Richard Hart’s critique of the Mexican roll.
  • He later announced a “tamaliza colectiva” at the site on Feb. 2, Día de la Candelaria, framing it as a peaceful cultural demonstration.
  • Coverage reports the brief incident ended without confrontation and did not prompt police intervention.
  • Green Rhino remains open and busy during the holiday period, according to an on-the-ground check by La Crónica.
  • An image showing the storefront defaced with graffiti was identified as AI-generated, and reporters found no evidence of vandalism.
