A North Carolina woman named Romina recently went viral on TikTok after sharing a story about her long-standing fear of going to the carniceria, a Mexican butcher shop. The video, posted on her account @rominasvida, struck a chord with many viewers who found humor and relatability in her struggle to order meat the way she wanted it.
Romina explained that she has always felt nervous at the carniceria because she has trouble communicating exactly what she wants. She said she speaks both Spanish and English, but when it comes to ordering specific cuts of meat, the words just do not come out right. She recalled a past visit where she tried to ask the butcher to slice her meat thin for making a dish like milanesa.
