Go to Google Maps and search for the phrase: “Cafe Negro Mexico”
There are several cafes named that and if you search South America there are some there too.
Here’s one in Mexico City:
My first time in Spain I asked for café negro and was corrected to say con leche. Not in a ‘that’s racist’ kind of way, but in a ‘that is inaccurate, even though we understand’ way.
“Café negro” (which I’ve never heard for black coffee) would be “Café solo” or “Café sin leche” (literally, “coffee by itself”, or “coffee without milk”). “Café con leche” would be coffee with milk, which definitely is not black coffee.

then it would be multiplied if he said it in Spanish
