Mexican't You Spell?


This is a sign in my hometown of Waxahachie.  Not only is this type on the signage, but also the menu's and the advertisements posted all over the city. All I need to say is spell check.
Besides all the I find the font to be horrendous, and almost entirely illegible, just while driving by.

I agree its hard to read and when making anything spell checking is an absolute must. I think they shouldnt of had the double layer on the text the outline effect makes it harder to read. The part I like about the sign is the use of a chili pepper for apostrophy.

Even a mistake on a sign would be enough for me to turn away from the restaurant. It makes you think that the restaurant clearly does not care about some areas of their business, so does this mean that there are other parts of the restaurant that are not considered as well, such as the restaurant's cleanliness or health regulations? An exaggeration on my part, but it goes to show how much a sign can make a difference.

Wow. I can't believe that they spelled it wrong. I mean if you are going to put up a huge sign and wnat people to come eat at your restaurant then you might want to double check the spelling first. I wouldn't eat there cause if they cant spell a word correctly then I question their abilities to cook.

Wow.. is this saying that they can't do mexican food. Jeez, this must really entice customers. This would make me laugh if I drove by this. I would also wonder how seriously the restaurant take the food or cleanliness.

this sign is ew. yes, the spelling error bothers me A LOT and besides that, its very distracting. the typeface of the name of the restaurant is much to hand crafted looking. the color scheme they are going for looks very modern and clean but the typeface takes away from the possible look that they could be going for, that could be successful for them.
