Here are a few signs that have caught my eye while walking around Mexico City...
The name of this pizzeria is "Death to Fake Pizza".
The name of this café sounds suspiciously like "pinche", a Mexican cuss word.
The name of this repair shop for broken Apple products is "iBroken".
Samy Restaurant is the home of the "Samy Burguer"... with a Hispanicized spelling of burger.
That actually would be the correct spelling, since it comes from the Spanish word "hamburguesa".
The U.S. chain "Fatburger", however, doesn't care about Spanish phonetics. Geez, I can feel my arteries hardening just looking at the sign!
