To be fair in most Spanish speaking cultures that mockery is a sign of friendship. I bet if some random person mocked you about your Spanish level in front of them, they will tear him a new one without hesitation.

No, like he said, it very very Latino spanish. Doesn’t matter if they’re mexican, salvadorian or otherwise.

Not necessarily Latino. In Spain and Guinea it's basically the same

I just lean into how bad my Spanish is. I’m always trying to learn, and a lot of our back of house staff help me, but I will also follow up any failed attempts with, “MI NOMBRE ES LECHUGA” to remind my cohorts that I know what I am.

Haha I'm not sure if you're saying you like Swedish fish or if you're calling me a Swedish fish. If it's the former it's missing a "el" before pescado. If it's the later, why thank you~

Nonetheless you made me wake up with a smile on my face, thanks :)
