Third victim: Monterrey's (Vista; Columbia, S.C.)

Dear Monterrey's,

Knowing of our desire to catch restaurant menu errors everywhere, some friends of ours took pictures of the menu at your restaurant. Because they are not the grammar aficianados that we are, we weren't sure if what they found would be what we were looking for.

However, they did not disappoint. We were greeted with an array of misspellings of quite well-known foods. Some of the errors were of the vowel-confusion variety:


We have never tasted mashrooms before, but maybe they taste good with chesse.

Some might argue that you operate an authentic Mexican restaurant, so misspellings of English words should be excused. We would never accept this excuse, but even if we were inclined to agree with those grammatical infidels, we'd like to know how they'd justify these errors:


In conclusion, Monterrey's, we think that you should take a second look at your menu and fix these spelling atrocities. While we enjoy the unpredictable spiciness of your food, we would rather not be confronted with the same unpredictability on your menu.

Best regards,

The Guerrilla Grammarians
