[TexasTowelie]

Wal-Mart removed a controversial child’s costume titled "Little Amigo" from its website that includes a sombrero, poncho and a mustache.

“Let the Fiesta begin for your little one in our Little Amige Costume!” according to a cached version of Wal-Mart’s website.

Some bloggers and Twitter users are showing their dismay for the $12.99 outfit, with one Cosmopolitan writer called the costume “cringeworthy.”

Although a media representative for Wal-Mart did not immediately respond to a request for comment, a spokesperson for the company told Refinery29 that a third-party group was behind the sale of the costume. The website says the costume was taken down Thursday afternoon.
