Cancun Restaurant Chaos
ngl you're overthinking this a bit. the real move is to skip cancun proper entirely and take the collectivo to leona vicario, it's like 45 minutes inland and feels like a different country. there's a place called loncheria la abuelita on the main square, no website no social media, just a lady named doña rosa making poc chuc on a comal out back. it's like 60 pesos for a plate with rice beans and pickled onions, and the meat is smoky from the charcoal. bring a few bottles of victoria from the corner store across the street cause she doesn't sell beer, just agua fresca. way more authentic than anything you'll find near the coast and you'll be the only tourist there guaranteed
the taqueria el compita tip is solid, but if you're up for a bit of a walk after eating, head east on lopez portillo toward the laguna. there's a tiny spot called mariscos el chaparrito, no sign really just a blue awning. they do aguachile that'll ruin you for anything else, it's like 80 pesos and they bring out a stack of tostadas with it. the guy running it used to work at a place in veracruz and it shows. just bring cash, they don't take cards and the atm nearby is sketchy after dark
honestly skip mercado 28 if you want something really local, that's still touristy tbh. take the r1 bus to region 94 and look for a place called taqueria el compita, it's on avenida lopez portillo between some tire shops. the pastor there is carved fresh off the trompo and you'll be the only gringo in sight, plates are like 40 pesos. just don't expect a menu in english, point at what the guy next to you is eating

What is the correct spelling for a street name that appears differently on multiple signs in Charlottenburg?
Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.
if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point
honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
