This also includes EVERY menu I've ever read in Mexico. Makes meal time more enjoyable.

Not just Mexico. One of my favorite menu items was in a Georgetown restaurant: "Oysters, fresh sucked daily."

You might starve to death if trying to read MY menu in my Spanish!

Kind of wild that no one caught it in the manufacturing process and installation.

One of my faves was a small 3' metal 'swing-sign' at the gasoline pumps of a 2-pump station/café in a tiny town in southeastern Utah... it read:

GAS
AT
CAFE

:rolleyes:

Another was I Roosevelt, (northeastern) Utah. It was (and still may be) a REST AREA---> sign on the left side of the highway pointing directly across the road at the.... Roosevelt City Cemetery. The rest area was just past it on the right.

I love signs in Baja. These were in San Felipe - I'll see if I can locate others.

One that I wish I had a photo of...the sign at Baja Seasons says "No squads on beach".

Now every time my wife and I see someone riding a quad...we say..."Hey look! A squad!!!"

I've seen some really funny menu translations in Mexico, but this is one of the best.
"Ham, sausage, ranchers, the Mexican
the mason with dacon"

Two of Mexico's most well guarded secrets.....who paints all of the white rocks on the roadside, and where is the official proofreader for signs. :lol:
