It’s nacho problem.

That’s the message the owners of a new Queens restaurant are telling angry neighbors and woke online critics who think the eatery’s name — Whitexicans — is racist.

Chatter had plagued the Jackson Heights joint before it officially opened earlier this month, with some keyboard warriors demanding that the establishment change its name.

“We knew it would cause some disagreement, but we weren’t trying to make this such a big deal … we weren’t trying to get into [politics],” Mateo Gomez Bermudez, one of the eatery’s four owners, explained to The Post.

“There are a lot of people that assume Mexicans have to be brown or some sort of color so we did it as a joke. There’s also white Mexicans and that’s perfect. There’s nothing about racial discrimination — we wanted to be an inclusive place where everyone, doesn’t matter what race or nationality you are, you can come.”

“We’re all Whitexicans.”

The Mexico News Daily describes Whitexicans as an insult to the light-skinned and white upper-class society of the country.

“They attend private schools, travel abroad, speak English and have access to opportunities many Mexicans only dream of,” the outlet said.

Even more perplexing to the neighborhood is why the owners chose a controversial term about Mexicans when three of the foursome hail from Colombia.

“They’re very Ignorant to use racist terms that divide the Mexican population and promote white supremacism. It’s frustrating that in this day and age people can still be so naive and blind,” one person fumed on Facebook.

“This has to be a joke…..is this a gentrified Taco Bell?” another said on Reddit.

One person simply accused the owners of being “classist and racist.”

“!e wanted to be an inclusive place where everyone, doesn’t matter what race or nationality you are, you can come,” said Gomez Bermudez. Katherine Donlevy

Claudia Lopez is the only Mexican owner in the group and emphatically denied that it was considered an offensive term, and that the group even consulted others of Mexican descent who gave them the green light.

“It’s not insulting, not for me, not for my family, not for any Mexican,” Lopez, Gomez Bermudez’s wife, explained.

“This institution is different; there’s nothing bad. It’s about good place, good food — enjoy the moment with different persons, whatever your gender, your culture, your color.”

To drive the point home, a giant sign reading “All Humans are Legal” graces the entrance and the words are etched onto the back of the staff’s shirts.

The most expensive item on the menu is $18.

Part of that inclusivity extends to the reasonable prices on the Mexican restaurant, which is decked out in the modern, white and expensive-looking decor of its more luxurious counterparts.

A rice and bean bowl will run a customer up to $15, which rivals the price of a Chipotle bowl.

Shockingly, the most expensive item on the menu is a sea bass, calamari and shrimp dish — and costs just $18.

Whitexicans has had plenty of foot traffic since opening its doors on Oct. 9, with most customers praising the new establishment, the owners said.

“It’s more about keyboard warriors. The people on social media don’t take the time to indulge. they just say ‘I don’t like this,’ and then other people say ‘I don’t like it either,’ and that’s not how it should be,” said Gomez Bermudez.

“We opened up a business in this economy and it’s very hard. I think before you just start hating on a business, you should get to know the business.”

“Don’t be a part of the hate.”

The controversy is the second for Queens in recent months, following the grand opening of the Wolf’s Lair in Astoria.

The owners cried innocence over the name’s ties to Hitler and his secret WWII headquarters, saying it was simply honoring an MMA training facility in the UK by the same name.
