However OXXO is pronounced is not important in my book since Americans are allowed to make mistakes.
Tacos de Carbon (as I call it) from MC and the Tortas (two different kinds).... the ones you eat and the two legged kind to look at. Nothing like a late night run to the all night Taco/Torta place......with all the cars out front due to the places reputation.
adding more to the craziness.... who in Mexico would say "¿Japonese?" ??? That's not a Spanish word... Another vote for the pathological liar thing...
Actually many people use the term Japones in Mexico and its very common. There is even a very popular snack Kiyakis (el cacahuate MUY Japones) or simply cacuhuate de japones
Yes thats one way to pronounce it and I used the word "oaks" and the phonetic (how it sounds) pronunciation as its a little drawn out more than the shorter "oc" but I think other at least better understand it now.
You don't think it's a tad odd that someone who claims to be a long-time resident of DF doesn't know how to pronounce "Oxxo" and doesn't know what Terminal Norte is?
Has he heard of tacos al pastor or tortas, or are those unfamiliar terms too?
as stated multiple times..
you only read what you want to see.
i've mentioned multiple times, i've lived in America since i was 3, just moved back in January.
