At least we can be assured there's tequila. The fact that it's the biggest thing on the sign and taqueria is tiny by comparison just shows how much more important the booze is.
Sorry guys, but you're lowering your standards. This is a false positive because the quotation marks indicate that someone said so about the food you eat there. It's a praise. This is made obvious by the fact that there is nothing discursive outside of the marks. So, well, they're proper.
See, but you could make that argument or one like it for just about any improper use of quotation marks. It's really at the blogger's discretion which instances of questionable quotation mark usage make the blog.
@The Great Joe Bivins: so all question marks in signs are questionable? They all coul be improper? if so, I wouldn't even see the point of this blog. recording the use of question marks all over the world and laugh at their possible ambiguity? Not extremely interesting.
anonymous: you seem to be confusing question marks (?) with quotation marks ("). This is not the blog of improper quotation marks, it's the blog of unneccesary quotation marks. Since we don't know WHO said the food was delicious, the quotation marks don't really add anything, do they? if you still don't think this blog is very funny, I suggest you stop reading it.
Buzz Killington's 2 anonymous comments just sucked a year off my life. Hmm, If these quotes aren't really "unnecessary," then I may… begin to question… my very existence.
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

This tequila stuff... I hear you can make Margaritas with it. And now "delicious Mexican food" to boot!

Do they have food?
