If you are ordering "langostinos" on any menu you are not getting lobster. Langostino is like crab with a "K". Krab is not crab and langostinos are crabs, not lobsters. Really. I like the idea of the tiki taco joints. It's perfectly fine to misrepresent the idea of "tiki" and "taco" in the marketing sence (and consumption for that matter) when it is far (geographically) from either aspect and the person has no clue about it. The only people that will guffaw are eaters of mexican food tiki dorks like us. If a place did such a thing as close to the border as I am right now I would have to complain. I do think it is kinda funny when they get the English words wrong though. :)
